What comes first? The vibrant body or the vibrant life?

Musings about treating the whole.

You already know this, but I’m a big believer in this— the ‘correctness’ of our lives affects our biology, our appearance and our vitality. The more we live what is life giving for us according to the gifts, the work and the people God gifted our paths, the more our body responds with vitality. But…. 

Sometimes it’s difficult to live the ‘correctness’ because we are overburdened systemically, running unproductive beliefs, living with  symptoms which are the result of vital force assaults which cannot be treated by grass fed steak and 10k steps a day alone. 

Sometimes we need a cleanse. Sometimes the ‘next step’ in the picture of totality is removing stagnancy. The clarity we need for a life change is right behind a good unburdening of matter, waste, stagnancy and cloudiness. How could we ever believe that physical stagnancy wouldn’t be intrinsically linked to our spiritual and daily aliveness? 

I know after many of my cleanses (especially liver and intestinal), I’ve found freedom and clarity I just didn’t have. When we are overburdened, overstimulated, distracted and overindulgent…. we can’t hear as clearly. I really believe that our disciplined tending to and unburdening of our biological systems is important for hearing God. This is why people fast from food or other vices to be able to ‘hear’ God. When we are not constantly turning towards vices, stimulating ourselves to total deafness and confusion, we access clarity and connection with the One who created us. 

I once heard that our colon is the pipeline to God. Ask anyone who has colonics frequently and they’ll nod at that (including me). 

I know God can cut through anything and meet us clearly even in a body which is uncared for and overburdened (of course)…. But discipline is a part of faith. We can’t just abuse the creation and expect that everything will be perfectly ordered. 

We have to participate. 

We have to tend the terrain of our physical bodies, the knots in our psyche, the assaults to our vital force, the toxic load we accrue. 

Discipline with our bodies is as spiritual as it gets. 

It is all about order. 

With order is correct function. 

With correct function is robustness and the ability to adapt to ever changing environments. 

“Eat junk food, and the terrain becomes a swamp.

Avoid exercise, neglect injuries, and the terrain is blocked

Disdain your mental, emotional and spiritual bodies, and the terrain with stagnate.”

Harvey Bigelsen, M.D. 

I always think of this beautiful thought— the divine love and intelligence of God that takes over when we are conceived in the womb, never leaves us. We are hard wired to return to homeostasis. This is what our symptoms are— our bodies expression, and attempt to return to homeostasis, to adapt to a world where there are unfortunately, a lot of assaults on us (trauma, glyphosate etc). 

With a solid terrain, a freed up vital force, we should be robust enough to adapt. 

Prayer alone is important but our free will goes along with it. 

Jesus is the almighty physician and I pray for His loving hands over my children every night, but with our free will, discipline is expected of us too. Gluttony and laziness are not fruits of the spirit. In saying that, we can be disciplined while also being trusting, without fear, and relaxed in our care for the body (I call this Body Luxury as you know). This is why I always say, set your standard high, and relax into your life. Get to the point where the most nourishing lifestyle is your way of life. 

It is nuts to think about how allopathic medicine treats symptoms in such isolation from everything else. A 10 minute consult and a symptom is treated according to the symptom picture, not according to the whole. A medicine is typically prescribed which is often suppressive, pushing the disease state further into the body, for it to reappear again in the same way or in another way. The more suppressions, the deeper the disease. How do we think we get away with such brute force on the bodies systems without any consequence? Of course in emergency scenarios it is absolutely essential. But for everyday things? We can’t out fool nature, or think we can tell it what to do by sheer force and there won’t be consequences. One of the things that drew me most to homeopathy was that it aims for a complete cure. Medicine should aim for nothing less. 

Side note. I am NOT slamming allopathy— it’s not without its place. But it is limited and we all know that. I spent 90 minutes yesterday talking to a dear Doctor friend about V’s, glyphosate, autism and we were able to have a very open chat about limitations, gaps etc. For emergency medicine, western medicine is the Hail Mary we are all so grateful for. That’s for sure!!! For lifestyle and chronic illness however, there are limitations and we can’t deny it.

Vital force.

Spiritual order. 

Psyche.

Emotions.

Biological correctness. 

Nervous system.

Terrain.

Vibrant Life.

How can we separate them? 

Can we have a vibrant life or body without a vibrant spirit and a vibrant mind? 

This is why Homeopathy is having a resurgence again— because a good homeopath will listen to someone speak for 90-120 minutes, purging secrets, talking about quirks, releasing ‘stuck’ stuff, and lastly, receiving a remedy or two that will address the vital force (perhaps in one go or perhaps over a longer period of time in what they call ‘zig zag healing’). Sometimes you’ll be more free and more confident in your direction after a good homeopath sees your picture in such totality that the right remedy/it’s free your vital force. You stop going around in unproductive circles wondering why you can’t seem to progress and live that more purposeful life that is sooooo close but feels so far.

Distortions in the vital force from trauma, environmental assaults, V injuries etc, will continue to express as physical, mental and emotional symptoms. Treat the vital force, and there is no longer the need for those symptoms to be expressed (This takes good work by a solid and well trained homeopath, of course). 

But this doesn’t mean you don’t need to exercise, eat well, manage toxic load, tend to your beliefs, you know!?

All of it. 

All of it. 

This is why German New Medicine is becoming so sought out by long time truth seekers in the health space too. You can’t ‘out eat’ a conflict in your psyche. 

Your weight gain may have nothing to do with your food and exercise, but because you have an abandonment/refugee/existence conflict and the biological adaptation is to hold onto weight. Maybe your recurring mastitis isn’t because of tight bras or poor drainage but because of a separation conflict with someone in your life. 

Sometimes the ‘next best step’ in your picture is to have a conversation you need to have— get it ‘off your chest’ and out of your cells. Sometimes a conversation is the healing, not the ashwaganda. 

Vitality. 

It’s always about the terrain.

It’s always about the psyche.

It’s always about the vital force.

It’s always about movement.

It’s always about prayer. 

It’s always about honesty.

It’s always about unburdening 

It’s always about making peace. 

Eating matters, but it’s not the full picture. 

Perception matters, but it’s not the full picture. 

Our lives will change as our the big PICTURE of our totality changes. Bit by bit. 

Equally, our body and even our blood (I’ll go into this more in another entry— I’m reading a book called Holographic Blood by Harvey Bigelsen, M.D. I’ve just started it but it is fascinating and quite frankly, epic) will change as we are able to change our mind, our perception, our lives. Did you know you can actually see worry in your blood? OK I’ll save this for another post because it’s just *mind blowing emoji*.

Sometimes, we are internally resourced and clear enough to see clearly. 

Sometimes we are not. 

That’s what I came on to write about today. 

Sometimes we can’t change our lives because we can’t see beyond the cloudiness of our state. Our lives will, without a doubt, respond to the loving tending to of our inner terrain— as layered as it is. 

When we tend to the totality of our expression, the clearer we are on our purpose, the easier it is to move on from unproductive patterns, the more our life can respond to a more vital terrain. 

What comes first, a vibrant body or a vibrant life? 

What came first is the loving God that created us with such inbuilt healing mechanisms, a bodily system that is so totally mind blowing in its intelligence. 

What comes next is our loving tending to of our mind, bodies and spirits so that our lives become the true expression of our clarity and vitality. 

Lotsa love, PK XX
