Good health in America is lacking, we live in a nation full of sick people always looking for a quick fix/cure (drug medicine & antibiotics), unwilling to slow down and take the time to let the body heal the cold or other ailments. Sometimes drugs can drive disease deeper into the body.
How do you know if you’re sick? Are you listening to your body? Do you have a rash on your skin, constipation, bloating, gas, indigestion, memory loss or fatigue? If you do, your body is talking to you. Ask your health practitioner or trusted professional.
Toxic, poisonous feelings of anger, hurt, disappointment, and guilt suppress the immune, endocrine, and digestive systems. So pivot towards changing your mood while focusing on healing thoughts. Never suppress the pain; instead feel through it until it lets you go.
Things are closed, but don’t contract too much, let your heart expand – turn on all of the lights in your home and play joyous music that warms your heart.
We are social people, today social media is so much more relevant than ever, Zoom meetings, online dance classes, virtual video games, and long distance calls from an old friend. Immerse yourself in human connection, even if it’s virtual or over-the-phone it means a lot to the person on the other end and is self-fulfilling as well. Don’t be afraid to reach out.
Buddha—the awakened one— Dharma—expanding the teachings of the Buddha— Sangha—group practice and exchange of the teachings
Please continue yoga, breathing meditation, good nutrition, deep breathing, emotional well being, good sleep, and doing things that make you feel good and fulfilled in a positively benefiting way. Be grateful for what you have in this moment – everything.
Gut health becomes even more important as we get older, this may be why commercials on the television target older populations with over-the-counter antacids and laxatives. I want to share a book that I recently enjoyed, The Body Ecology Book by Donna Gates. It was referred to me by my acupuncturist. With the right timing and discipline, it can be life-changing. I highly recommend it.
Now is the time to do those things you put off and never have time to do at home or in the backyard. Like reading that book that’s been sitting on the bookshelf (yes I still have one) or watching that movie that a friend recommended a year ago. Take good care of your home, self and family and be well always.
