Foot Detox

To cleanse one's body there's this device known as an aqua chi. It sends a harmless, electrical current into a tub of salt water that we put our feet in. Otherwise, known as a foot detox. The results are colorful - orange, brown, green, black, rust, metallic flakes, bubbles and pools of lard. All of this oozing out of our feet makes us feel healthy and better. It cleanses our body of impurtities, thus making us mentally feel better about all the crap we put into our body. And so we go back a week or two later and the colors start to fade. The ultimate goal - clear water. A fresh start. A chance to renew our bodies and start again, hopefully choosing more wisely this time about what we put in or expose our bodies to. The ideal would be all organic and no toxins. Now if only cleansing our soul and wiping the slate clean was as easy.

How wonderful would it be to detox your soul of all the misdeeds you'd done, all the heartache from lovers who weren't worth it anyway, all the bad decisions that are still slapping you in the face every time you turn a corner? If only the aqua chi renewed our souls the way it does our bodies, there would be a lot less depression and anxiety and stress, and people as a whole would be happier. For as great as a foot detox is, it can't mend a broken soul or even repair a bruised one. The key to strengthening one's soul is one of the hardest things to learn how to do. We're always looking for the quick fix and then promising to do better next time.
