LISTEN TO NATURE: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Have you ever thought of how we have stopped listening to our bodies? (for more information, click here)
Since WWII, we have been increasingly taught : There is a Pill for Everything.
If we have a fever – we take aspirin
If we have a cold or flu – we take Tylenol
If we have inflammation – we take Ibuprofen
Yet….the fever is a way of burning out a virus or a bacteria – we need to listen and aid the fever, not cover up the symptoms
If we have a cold or flu – we need to have mucus – we need to listen and help the body carry out the virus or bacteria.
If we have inflammation or a pain or a hurt – we should not just be covering it up with pills – we should listen to the body and help eliminate what is causing the problem.
Sometimes, we need to help the body manage the problem while we are resolving the underlying issue – BUT – we need to start LISTENING to the BODY again – and work with it rather than stopping it in it’s tracks.
When we stop the body’s natural capacity to function and work with the environment; the body stops working for us. Eventually, it will start working against us. Our immune system will start shutting down – we weren’t listening anyways. Or, our digestive system will stop reminding us to eat or that we were full – we weren’t listening anyways.
Learn, once again, like a child, to LISTEN to YOUR BODY. Your BODY has a beautiful way of communicating to you.
