Abiding Wealth in Our Bodies-Illness

Your body has innate wisdom the mind can barely comprehend. It's like the deficit in the USA with numbers in the trillions. Trillions? What are they? Can you picture them? I think of a billion and try to imagine one thousand times that amount (a billion is one thousand millions). If you can't imagine it that way, it's a 1 with either 12 or 18 zeros behind it, depending on whether you use the long or short scale). Can you contain that sort of thinking in your mind? If you can, you have a better imagination than me!

Communication is key

The reason I bring up trillions is because your body has one hundred trillion cells. They are like a neighborhood that are in communication with each other in milliseconds. Unlike humans who speak with words, cells communicate through hormones (also known as neurochemical messengers). These hormones can convey information and also create feelings in our bodies. If we are tired during the day and can't sleep at night our body is telling us something is upside down. The hormones of communication are attempting to straighten out some misunderstanding yet something is interfering.

The body has an amazing ability to heal-when we get out of it's way. These messengers know what to do-it is their job 24/7 to keep us healthy. When they are not doing that, we need to ask ourselves "What is getting in the way of my body being healthy?" The answer will move us closer to health than if we label it as a disease and give it drugs (this is the equivalent\ of judging it and telling it to shut up because we don't want to hear what it has to say).

What interferes with health?

Often what is in the way is poor diet. If you eat foods that have labels with more than five ingredients in them, then your body may not recognize it as food and may consider it a toxin instead. Doing this regularly might create confusion within your body and that could create health challenges. I suggest eating only foods that your grandmother could have eaten. Cheetos, Cheerios, and Pop Tarts are examples of foods that your grandmother would not have eaten. Broccoli, lettuce, and eggs are examples of foods your grandmother could have eaten. I've been translating messages from the body into ways the mind can understand for about thee decades now and I'll tell you that if you have food allergies, your body is screaming at you to stop eating foods that it thinks are toxins!

Lack of movement is another reason our bodies get sick. The body was intended to move and our lifestyles have created a world where we sit in our cars for hours to commute back and forth to work, we sit at desks all day so we can work on computers, and we sit at home in the evenings so we can be entertained with the T.V. (I've heard the average American watches 10 hours of T.V. each week). I have not owned a T.V. for over 20 years and the quality of my life has increase tremendously during this time-frame. So has my health-because I gave up the commute, the corporate job, and the T.V. Now I use my creativity to earn a living, grow my own food rather than commuting, and to spend time with friends and family instead of watching T.V.  I'm much happier and more fulfilled as a result.

Another common reason our bodies can't heal is toxicity. This can come from taking pharmaceutical drugs or from drinking chlorinated water, or even from eating fish from a polluted sea. I make it a point to do a cleanse every few months to eliminate these toxins from my body so there is nothing in the way of my cells communicating with each other. I also use plant-based essential oils on a regular basis, which support detoxification and are fun and enjoyable as well.

Internal resentments and how to release them

Did you know that cancer is when cell formation increases and cells stop talking to each other? Why would this happen? Have you ever had the experience of stopping the communication with your neighbors? Did you find that life became unhealthy in many ways after that? Did you begin to hear music that was louder than you enjoy, experience more stress when attempting to park your car (which had not been the case before), or perhaps even receive glares and/or stares as you came and went from your home? This is what is happening when there is cancer too. Resentments have happened between the cells and they have not been cleaned up in a timely way. Detoxification can clean up these resentments within our bodies and re-establish healthy communication.

We have everything we need in order to heal, from any illness, if we will listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies and GET OUT OF THE WAY so the body can do what it does naturally-create health. If you have been diagnosed with an illness, are you asking yourself what your body is trying to tell you? Are you judging your body and not trusting it knows how to heal? Or are you doing things that interfere with your bodies ability to heal? Please let me know in the comments below!
