Kidneys
The Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that serve several essential regulatory roles. Their main function is to regulate the balance of electrolytes in the blood, along with maintaining pH homeostasis. They also remove excess organic molecules from the blood, and it is by this action that their best-known function is performed: the removal of waste products of metabolism. Kidneys are essential to the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes (including salts), maintenance of acid–base balance, maintenance of fluid balance, and regulation of blood pressure (via the salt and water balance). They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove water-soluble wastes which are diverted to the bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete nitrogenous wastes such as urea and ammonium. They are also responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also produce hormones including calcitriol and erythropoietin. An important enzyme, renin, is also produced in the kidneys; it acts in negative feedback.
Located at the rear of the abdominal cavity, the kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries, and drain into the paired renal veins. Each kidney excretes urine into a ureter which empties into the bladder.
Renal physiology is the study of kidney function, while nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse, but common clinical conditions involving the kidney include the nephritic and nephrotic syndromes, renal cysts, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, urinary tract infection, nephrolithiasis, and urinary tract obstruction.

Embodying the Monad
When our heart is healed, there is a fire that is ignited inside the heart that is accessed and the fire in the heart is also in the Kidneys. There is a triangle that connects the heart into the kidneys, in our Lightbody. The kidneys are in the base of the triangle from left to right and the point of the triangle is in the heart. When the heart is healed, there is a twin flame ignition in our heart and kidneys, which shifts the heart configuration. Twin flames = structure of light within the heart. So two flames ignite in the heart. The Monad is the greater flame and the physical body is the lesser flame. When this flame is ignited, there is an ignition in the heart and a fire or vital essence that comes in to the kidneys.[2]
Functions
The kidney participates in whole-body homeostasis, regulating acid-base balance, electrolyte concentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and blood pressure. The kidney accomplishes these homeostatic functions both independently and in concert with other organs, particularly those of the endocrine system. Many of the kidney's functions are accomplished by relatively simple mechanisms of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, which take place in the nephron. Filtration, is the process by which cells and large proteins are filtered from the blood that eventually becomes urine. The kidney generates 180 liters of filtrate a day, while reabsorbing a large percentage, allowing for the generation of only approximately 2 liters of urine.The kidneys excrete a variety of waste products produced by metabolism into the urine.
Elimination Channels
The main primary elimination channels are the bowels, the liver, the Kidneys, the lungs, and the skin. So the first step is to improve every elimination channel in the body to help with detoxification. The body will produce energetic and metabolic waste that translates into physical levels of detoxification that need to move through the elimination channels. When the Elimination Channels are overloaded, they become inefficient and congested. The toxins are forced into the bloodstream and settle into those organs and tissues which have the least resistance to the toxic waste material.[3]
