THE FIRST STEP IN HEALING

The accepted idea of disease needs to be completely reestablished.

Disease is not simply a malfunctioning of the physical body, it is instead a representation and reflection of what is going on in all four realms of our being; spiritual, psychological, mental, and physical.

With this widened perspective our idea of disease is appropriately and holistically altered. Although symptoms may be presenting themselves in one of those realms, that does not mean that the root cause of disease is to be found there. If your home is crumbling at the foundation it does you no good to replace the windows or paint the house a new color.

The basis of western medicine is to treat or absolve symptoms, usually by nullifying or using powerful chemicals to neutralize inflammation or infection. Of course, in an emergency situation these measures can be incredibly useful. It is when they are used for chronic Illness & for long term treatment that it is completely irrational.

In some cases drugs are implemented in order to completely suppress an individual’s immune system. The issue with this is that these treatments are designed to decimate all the cells in the area where the symptoms are present, such as in the case of antibiotics or chemotherapy. This erroneous premise is that in destroying all cells in the area, disease will somehow be eradicated for good. Where does strength and health come from internally if those same organs that need to heal the body have been chemically annihilated?

From that perspective disease is something external that has entered the body, which completely rejects the role that one plays in their own disease.

Disease itself should be embraced, because it is an urgent signal that change is required in some area of the self. To place the profound intelligence of the human body above technology & medicine is to truly respect nature & empower yourself at the deepest level.
