DIY Designer Health
Now, when it comes to health, as with any other area of my life, I work from the inside out.
There’s a scripture that reads
“Fear the Lord and shun evil,
this will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” Pr 3:7b-8
Now, even tho I think this is a poor translation, I believe the sentiment behind this verse to be VERY apt. Basically, it’s saying that when you’re aligned to the Source from which you spring...you will reap the benefits of that alignment. Health.
There is only a stream of well being. Abraham-Hicks will tell you all about it. You are either in the flow of it, or pinching it off. You determine which it is through the ‘stories’ you tell yourself about yourselfhttp://abrahamhicks.com
Now, I’m going to tell you about how I discovered getting into the flow of this wellbeing, in the places where it had been trained out of me. I will tell you my own stories that will show you the power you have resident in you for total spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wholeness.
Spiritual Health
Spiritual health is about believing you are the incredible creator God/Source birthed you to be. In fact, in being one with Source in your core, it was a joint decision to come into this physical realm and create the range of physical experiences you chose to have. Through this vast range of experiences, you wanted to know yourself in the fullness of your nature...your god nature.
Spiritual health is basically being ‘aligned’. Remember “DIY Designer Alignment”? That is spiritual well being. It is what Abraham-Hicks terms as ‘being in the Vortex’. It is what I call being the ‘Secret Place’, or the ‘Garden’, or ‘in the space between’. Ultimately, it is being in conscious connection with All-That-Is and at the very least it is feeling in harmony with your most intimate circle.
It is BEING IN LOVE.
In this place of Love, where you know your own wholeness, there is no fear, no lack, no judgment nor any unmet desire. Here, ‘all things are yours’...and you know it. As one whose job it was to lead people into this ‘state’ through my singing/music, I was well practiced in being there.
I can tell you this: it is the sweetest addiction you will ever know.
Joy, peace, appreciation, love without demands, doing what lights your fire...this is being aligned. This is when you are closest to being all you are, and that’s also why it is SO important that you take time to DO what you love. It will re-adjust your compass to north, and keep you on the right path for you.
I have countless ways to enter into this state. I live there mostly. Soon, I’ll post some more content on this subject on my sites. All other forms of health, in my opinion, stem from this one flow. I’ve lived my life by this belief and freed myself repeatedly of various potential ills.
Mental Health.
What is mental health? Well, for the sake of this blog and this week’s theme, I’m going to say mental health is the ability to think clearly and make decisions soundly. Not necessarily only logically, because intuition is equally essential...sometimes even more so. Intuition is sharpened through alignment, which is why so few feel confident with theirs. I have my spent my entire life cultivating the confidence in this Inner Voice.
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had opportunity to doubt it. In fact, In wanting to know myself utterly connected with that core part of me, I’ve had many challenges to grow by. Eating disorders , body image issues, and an emotional breakdown that led to Alopecea ( stress induced baldness) basically meant that I had lot of ‘self’ perceptions that needed adjusting and aligning.
Funny thing is, we can KNOW what we need, and still not do it. I think that’s because we doubt our ability to see it through. But the incredible thing is, once we DO come to that point of heart-felt decision, we find a power abiding in us, that we KNEW was there, but refused to believe in. It lives in all but is activated by those who believe and act.
After three years of nightmares about being completely bald, being pregnant four times, miscarrying one and losing almost 2/3 of my circulating blood supply, something inside me stood up. I knew I was doing these things to myself. I knew only I could change it. I also believed that if I could turn it around, I could do anything.
No one could beat that truth out of me today. No matter where I may appear to be on the journey in any one else’s eyes, I know this truth: “All things are mine”
That is a sound mind.
A sound mind thinks clearly, finds creative solutions easily and frequently, takes risks confidently and improvises competently...not to mention houses a great sense of humour! J When you start agreeing with these truths, and write your stories by them...you will know the Peace that is far beyond understanding.
A note** When washing your brain...keep the water clean. Allow NO ACCESS to any story that is NOT aligned to your desires. When those things present themselves, you will find creative ways to address them, but you needn’t focus on them in between. When you’re working with life and death, you learn this well!
Emotional Health
I taught my kids to sing songs or love and joy and to 'turn the day around' that way. I taught them little tricks that came to me, in the moment, that stayed with them through the growing years and became part of who they are. They never questioned whether they were ‘right’...they saw me live by the same principles, they knew I loved them , and only wanted them happy, and they saw how they worked for me.
My youngest son when he was very little, maybe 4, used to get migraines and vomit, then sleep it off. As he grew a few years older I could see how emotionally ‘worked up’ he would get. I could see I needed to find a way to teach him how to diffuse the triggers before he was on the spiral down. Before he’d left Lower primary school, I had taught him how to detach from whatever was ‘stringing him out’ with one VERY simple technique.
I told him he could tell me all about the ‘problem’ (which, by the way, keeps the emotional charge building), but in 5 minutes (This time was extended each time). I took him out to my balcony, overlooking the back yard, where there were very tall gums, well grown palms ringing the perimeter, and smaller hedge type trees. When the wind blew, you could distinctly hear it hit each level of different greenery, creating a different song. It only took a few seconds to completely distract him, and in doing so, detach from the negative energy, and bring equilibrium to his emotions, completely bypassing resistance.
He felt so good, he took the practice on easily and would take himself out for de-stressing when he needed to. He even learned to avert the migraines altogether. Alignment is the answer to all health issues in my book.
Today, we still do this and other things, but I also really love EFT, for when you just GOTTA ‘spill it’! EFT is the great ‘diffuser’ if you’re struggling with resistance. If EFT were a man, he’d be my hero!
