Prescription For Balance

Just as there are unpredictable weather changes, seemingly coming from nowhere, so are the constant changes in our whole being, body and mind so interconnected to the "outside" world.  I want to go over my personal recent experience of "falling to pieces",  which I observed last week - 

emotional self-stress, teeth hurting, stomach unable to digest, body misalignment - I want to explain all these normal processes I have gone through.

All back to feeling much better today and ready to share my experience.

Note though, how any medicine tries to diagnose and pinpoint where the problem is.   Yet - it is all connected, like in a Rubik's cube.  

For example, if we were to eat too much dry food without thoroughly chewing  it to pre-digest it before swallowing, our intestines would have an undigested food sitting somewhere in the digestive tract, maybe causing constipation, or / and valves  opening (part of the digestive system parts) , or / and spasms,  or / and more digestive acid generated to digest what we didn't pre-digest.  These may be all uncomfortable processes, yet necessary to fix the problem, stopping us from eating more food, and making us think and re-think how to eat and live pain free, how to feel ourselves, live in the moment.

Do I need someone besides myself to fix this problem, to diagnose, to add fear and havoc to my mind?

So here is the chain of my "events" - not a detailed diary :)

How and when did I start going downhill?  :)  

  Maybe, a week ago, getting so stressed, I almost lost my logic.  Yet, I quickly forced myself to calm down to exert a positive attitude on others.   This was like an earthquake in my body, affecting  everything  inside and my mind.  As an aftershock, I got headaches, teeth hurting, making me suspect that I'm about to lose one tooth, my eye hurting, feeling low on energy, a bump by my lips (not a "cold sore"), dry lips, chills, sweating...  Trying to make myself feel better emotionally, I probably ate too much of the wrong foods, causing my stomach to shut down on me, one valve opening up and causing pain :)  As a pinnacle of all these, even though I patiently observed and assisted myself in balancing, I got emotionally down, feeling unproductive and not serving me or others around me thoughts, which I released by crying.

I obviously could not eat for a few days, just drank.  I felt happy I could do some activities like vacuuming, composing, walking, taking care of our dog and cat, cooking and doing some food shopping.  Thanks to my essential oils and alignment exercises, being patient with myself, I felt less discomfort than in the past when my stomach would twist.  I used roll ons with essential oils to support the gums and teeth nerves, roots,  tissue and bones.   Actually,  there was more complication with my teeth, as one of my teeth chipped.  I had to chew on one side of my mouth, which caused misalignment of my jaws.  I had to work on relaxing the jaw muscles by moving my jaws, doing some acupressure and rubbing essential oils on the jaws and my spine.

As far as my intestines - it makes sense that my body was misaligned - my spine bent a little (the stomach area), pulling on my legs ligaments.   I knew it would get better once my digestive tract is hydrated and all the unprocessed food is out.  I did take some fennel essential oil with a little milk to assist digestion.  Instead of feeling miserable, I focused on what I could enjoy outside of my body, not feeling sorry for myself and not needing anyone's help or rather interference :)  

Meanwhile, I shared my knowledge with someone else going through digestion problems, and was happy to observe her receptive attitude.  She realized that she needed to assist her body instead of continuing to eat what her stomach was not ready to accept.  She also looked into alignment exercises, and felt more at ease.  She realized how the stress we subject ourselves to may affect how we feel.

One more word about diagnosing my condition.  No - I do not need any labels by the conventional medicine.  Oh no - I lost weight, have too much acid - maybe I got cancer :)  - on and on with these fear tactics and medications interfering with the healing processes.  My body knows what, when and how to make me pay attention to myself.  If I'm to ignore it, it will make me aware. 

C'est la vie :)
