Healing The Whole System

Energy! We are all made of it. It's all around us. When there is low energy we want to change it and when it's high energy we want to enjoy it. It emanates all around us and surrounds everything on this planet from our hands to trees.

When we change energy things happen. Happiness is easier, relationships change, understanding is clearer, we feel better, money flows, disease and injury disappear, and our spiritual acuity is elevated.

In the western medicine world, we have lost touch with the basic concept of true healing. We substitute a Band-Aid or aspirin for a cure and wonder why we don't feel better. People get ill for many reasons. Each diseased state is telling us that we are ignoring some part of ourselves and change is necessary. While many factors contribute to healing, and it happens on many levels, all require attention throughout the entire healing practice. Ignoring the emotional and mental bodies would not provide adequate and long-term good health.

We can no longer look at one body part and try to heal it without incorporating other systems and parts. If our toenails are infected with fungus it is ineffective to just treat the tips of our toes, rather we must look at the blood and spleen, and with eating habits for the final cure.

Traumas, both emotionally and physically stop the normal flow of energy. This begins the journey of illness, injury and dysfunction, which manifests in many ways, ranging from crippling diseases to limiting belief patterns like fear, confusion and anger that end up controlling us.

Physical symptoms like headaches, swollen glands, sneezing, and colds including more serious diseases like cancer communicate to us what the body needs‹asking us to pay more attention. At this point it is important to look at diet, including water intake, and exercise.

Look At Your Diet

Do you eat at restaurants a lot? Do you eat red meat, processed foods, and snack foods? If so, a change to lightly cooked (steamed) vegetables, rice and chicken, turkey and farm raised fish instead of red meat, and processed foods like hot-dogs and cheese-whiz this begins to change any diseased state. And if at all possible eat organic food.

Pesticides and other chemicals in foods cause a breakdown in the body. They contribute to sinus problems and allergies. If eating out is common in your household most restaurant food is loaded with salt, and other chemical preservatives. Food coloring additives can cause hyper-type symptoms to occur as well as parasites, which are found on foods that are not washed properly. More and more people have irritable bowl disorders from food allergies. The most common foods that cause allergies are corn, wheat and dairy. Making simple changes means a lot to the body.

Many people get frustrated with slow or small changes once they alter their diets and inject supplements. Natural remedies including diet changes take longer to work however, because they are reserving the negative affects from chemicals and they are creating a healthy picture and these changes are more permanent not just another Band-Aid for something else to pop-up later. To turn disease around takes time and should include alternative healing, organic diets and natural supplements. An overdose of natural supplements like vitamins and others products on the market can also cause a list of symptoms to occur. If you are taking more than five different supplements you are taking too many.

Water: Only about 5% of the American population gets sufficient water each day. We are a dehydrated populace. Diet drinks, high sugar drinks, high corn-syrup drinks, and coffee do not count towards proper hydration, in fact, many of those drinks cause gastrointestinal inflammation, kidney and liver problems over the course of time.

Exercise: Walking to the TV to change the channel is not proper exercise. Lack of exercise causes the lymph system to back up; this congestion causes an array of problems to occur including constipation, slow digestion, and headaches. Walks around the block, yoga, chi-kung or gym workouts help move energy through the organs and body systems.
