Whatever
created us – some call it God, some call it universal creative energy – either
way we are pretty miraculous beings and I believe we were created to be
basically healthy in mind, emotions, body and spirit. However, our human experience
gets us off track and misshapes us. Then we start believing the illusions that
we are flawed, not worthy or deserving, etc. to have health, happiness, joy,
love and prosperous to name a few things. Maybe we allow ourselves success in
one area, but usually never all of them. To quote a Seinfeld episode, we don’t think we can have the this, the that and
the other.
However,
if we choose to do so, we have the opportunity to find our way back to our true
state. It gives us something to strive for and accomplish in our lives when we
to take on the hero or heroine journey. It’s so much easier to slide down the
slippery slope of negativity, dis-ease and illness so to speak and wallow in
the mud with the masses than it is to climb the mountain of success. It can be
a more difficult and lonelier journey, and sometimes we allow ourselves to
slide back or get pulled back down, but from my own experience of ultimately finding
my way back to health, it is so worth it to reach the pinnacle of your
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual goals.
We
have the means within us to heal, we just need to give our bodies, mind,
emotions, and spirit the right tools and environment so that it can happen
naturally. In the broad sense (I don’t have the ability to go into the details
here due to space constraints), physically it requires an alkaline state which
means ingesting natural food and beverages limiting processing and toxic
chemicals (both artificial & natural). Mentally and emotionally it requires
overall positive thinking and being in touch with your emotions- we need to
feel them and then release them, not stuff them down inside to fester and
grow. Spiritually we need to be in touch
with something bigger than ourselves and feel love for as much as we can for
the other people, nature and animals around us for ultimately we are all
connected and created from the same place. This will give us peace and lesson
our stress and judgments.
If
we get enough of our mind, emotional, body and spiritual pieces put together,
we will discover our own inner healer. We can receive help and assist along the
way from people and things that have useful strategies. Ultimately though, it
is up to us to stop sabotaging ourselves and believe that it is possible. I
made such a decision when I was told by the doctors that they wanted to give me
an immunosuppressive drug that could put me at risk to catch a cold that could
turn into a deadly case of pneumonia as I wouldn’t have a defensive mechanism
to combat it. I decided that wasn’t the route I wanted to take and began
believing that there had to be a way back to health. All I had to do was find
the right puzzle pieces. Eventually I did and have been off medication around
15 years and am in the best shape of my life. May you find your pieces and
inner medicine along the path of your journeys.
