Honor Your Experience

Cells have an ability to hold our experience until we are ready to process it.  We now understand that those with traumatic life experience can have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).  Often those who suffer PTSD had traumatic experiences that their body stored for them (kind of like a computer hard drive) but now another layer of information is stored and the system goes into overload.  Thank goodness we have FES’s Post Traumatic Stabilizer.  I have seen this be of such deep support on numerous occasions.

How to avoid getting into overwhelm?  Honor each experience as it comes.  Some of these experiences are good, but still so big that our system has trouble processing it all at once.  Also we can have experiences that we don’t understand so we just stuff them.

When I was in junior high I had a big spiritual experience.  I knew it was life changing, but didn’t think much about it.  As an adult as I tried to process it I had numerous people doubt my experience and so I doubted it myself.  It’s taken quite a few years, but finally I honor that YES, this experience happened and I don’t have to put it in a box, or explain it to anyone (including myself).  I can just honor that occurred and it was big for me.

Meditation techniques can be a great support for honoring experiences.  With the help of 35 years of meditation experience, today I am mostly able to witness my felt sense, both in my physical body and in my energetic body.  I have learned that trying to make mental sense of it often just buts roadblocks in my way.   Learning to trust that this is your experience brings much more grace and ease into your life.  Desert Alchemy’s Owning the Level can be helpful in trusting the level your on and owning it.   I wish this for all of us.

Natural Support for The Immune System

Cell Salts are a great way to deal with being  surrounded by folks with cold and flu. They can help boost your immune system naturally.

CELL SALTS are Homeopathically prepared from basic mineral compounds that cells depend on. They are small pellets for water or juice.

Take 2 pellets of the #5 cell salt (Kali Mur) at least 3 times a day.  This supports the body/mind system to lessen inflammation which lessens your chance of “catching something”.

If you do feel something coming on take the #4 cell salt (Ferr Phos) every 5 minutes until the symptom abates and then take every time you feel the symptom creeping in.  This cell salt helps increase the oxygen in your system so it speeds the healing process.

If you find you get every disease that comes along, try the #2 cell salt (Calc Phos) 3 times a day until you find the system is more resilient!

HERBS

One tasty option is to cut up a red onion and generously drizzle honey over the top and cover for about 8 hours.  Drink the “honey juice” that collects at the bottom of the bowl.  This is terrific for sore throats.  Some folks I know keep this on the back of their stove so it is always slightly heated and then take a spoonful when inspired…and some eat the onion too!

Elderberry syrup has been a great addition to my household.  As an adult I take 1 tablespoon of the syrup a day if I hear of lots of disease floating around.

MINERALS

Many folks I know swear by sucking on zinc lozenges.  They say they rarely get the disease du jour when they remember to take one daily.

HOMEOPATHICS

Uriel Pharmacy makes many wonderful products.  I find their Dandelion/Cinnabar excellent when I feel like I am coming down with a cold.  If I take it as I feel symptoms, at the beginning something, once every 15 minutes, the cold never develops.

ALL of the above are safe for pregnant and nursing moms!
