Health Naturally!

by Bridgette Bray, Owner, Health Naturally

Today, I sat down and turned on the television to catch the noon weather. I saw a commercial that said "if your 7 to 11 year old shows symptoms such as anger, irritability, problems with friends, then they may meet the qualifications for depression and may be eligible to participate in a study with medication and supervision." This was immediately followed by a commercial to older citizens that actually said, " You deserve your drugs !!"

HEY, STOP THIS TRAIN!! What on earth is going on! Every time I walk into a drugstore I get a strange feeling seeing the number of people standing in line to get prescriptions filled! I can't help but think that this means we are living in a society where the majority of the people are being drugged for one reason or another.

Let's look at this picture sanely, starting with the human body. First of all, the human body, in essence, wants to be healthy! It has absolutely awesome chemistry and capability to heal itself in infinite ways.

As Deepak Chopra says, "Never underestimate the body's innate intelligence at the cellular level."

It's a fact! So, what is really going on in our society today? In my opinion we've been conditioned to think of our bodies as weak and vulnerable. All of the messages that come into our lives reinforce this reality.

When you set the intention loose in this Universe that you are weak and vulnerable then that is the reality you manifest. It's that simple. AND when you think of yourself as weak and vulnerable, it will become your reality - not just for your body but your mind and spirit as well!

Good health goes much deeper than the body. It is weighted heavily by your hidden beliefs and their associated emotions. Your own personal identification (who am I?) has been formed by all the external messages that you have received for a lifetime. It is your outer identification. Everything around you, since you were born, has told you who you are, how you believe, how you measure up, and so on. It's all been outside of yourself, and you've internalized it. BUT IT IS OUTSIDE OF YOU.

Think about it. How much time do you spend actually listening to your soul's desires and accepting responsibility for asking for them to be provided? Loving yourself enough to be that honest, not only with yourself, but with everyone else in your life, too? Trusting the Universe, and all the powers that be, to support you in your honesty and personal truth?

Trust is what it is all about. Trusting in your own body to know how to help itself. Accepting the responsibility for feeding your body the healthiest foods possible! Making nutrition for your physical body one of your top priorities. We really are what we eat.

The next step is to realize and allow yourself to feel the emotions that are behind the surface. Feel the ones that don't feel good. Stay with them and feel where they actually sit in your body. Once you have found them, give them love and acceptance, transforming them into healthy energy. Realize that these emotions represent a great deal of your life experience. They've served you well at one time, but now it is time to alter the energy as a gift to yourself. Let go and embrace them with love and acceptance and feel them change. You can do it.

Next step, take the time to forgive yourself for all the pain that you have felt in your own heart. It doesn't matter who out there has hurt you or 'done you wrong,' it all comes back to your own heart and your own forgiveness for yourself. This is a biggie here, because it really requires you to LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH to let go of all the pain that has been associated with your life experience. Send only the most trusting and positive messages to the world but, most importantly, to yourself.

Truly GOOD HEALTH starts deep, in every cell of our bodies and every thought and belief that we hold. No matter how complex the world of good health has been made to appear to you, the essence of your own Excellent Health is learning to really love yourself.
