How Amazing Are We?

I started delving into learning about our mind / body and spirit after I lost my mother to inhumane suffering. She died of colon cancer, which I feel she had because of her emotional self-inflicted conditioning. A great person I wish I knew better... Her immense suffering from the treatment of the conventional medicine opened my eyes.

Since my mom's death in 2002, I have learned so much by reading, doing and observing. I realize now how amazing our body, mind and spirit are.

I remember a great analogy by the Vermont doctor D.C. Jarvis in his book Arthritis and Folk Medicine of how our body functions as an elevator. When we eat, for example, he wrote, our body needs to allocate resources to digesting the new meal by taking its energy from performing other processes.

One of the processes our complex sophisticated body does is getting rid of waste. Imagine not getting enough nutrients or being poisoned - how does our body handle it? We have so many organs and functions - in fact, even every body cell (a little battery of life) can either close or open, or die. If we listen to our body and let it perform what it knows best, we will balance back to health, provided the poison was not lethal :) or our body was in the condition capable of doing so. I love using essential oils as I find them most effective.

What if we don't listen to our body and continue working against it? Then, we will accumulate more toxins and dead cells.

I read many books and took many classes on natural medicine. I especially love Oriental medicine. What I like about it is how every plant or substance is classified as having many properties that may enhance and support our health. Yet, I admit, it's a lot of information to learn, and how we can use them for our complex organ /mind relationship.

Is it possible to use one fits all approach to every health condition? Everything in this world has a vibrational energy that we absorb one way or another. What I understood in the end is that our whole being knows what it needs, be it emotional, physical or spiritual. And by the way - that is the gist of the Oriental medicine - we are in a constant re-balancing state and therefore are healthy!

We are flowing or transforming, just like the nature around us :)
