Natural Medicine
Natural medicine vs. conventional medicine?
What are the differences?
Natural medicine is a system that approaches healing differently than conventional medicine. For one, conventional medicine considers you healthy as long as you are not sick and your tests are in the "normal" range, despite the fact that you are having obvious symptoms of discomfort.
Natural medicine considers you to be healthy when your body, mind, and spirit are harmonious, in balance and free of symptoms. When these are in balance, there is a strong sense of well being
Conventional medicine treats everyone who has the same disorder or symptom with the same pharmaceutical medication, while natural medicine offers personalized supplements and other natural treatments based according to nutritional needs of the body. It treats all the systems of the body, mind and spirit as a whole and never treats just one part as independent from the whole as does conventional medicine
Natural methods heal the body over a period of time and require patience and participation. The therapies are most effective in conjunction with other natural remedies such as dietary changes, vitamin and mineral supplementation, de-toxing treatments, herbal supplements, acupuncture and other forms of holistic healing. Conventional medicine does not consider the bodies’ energy systems to be valid and treatable. Treatment is restricted to the physical body only
Conventional medicine has excellent diagnostic and emergency medical procedures which can save lives.
Natural medicine requires time, discipline and 100% participation from the patient on all levels. The person has to have the will to want get better and be willing to make the necessary changes to promote wellness in the body, mind and spirit
In today's modern society, everyone wants the quick fix, fast food, fast service and “pop the pill” to make the symptoms disappear. Conventional medicine accommodates this by providing relief from discomfort and by allowing some comfort in long term illness. Therefore it is a medicine of convenience. A good choice for those who do not want to participate in the healing process
Unless the patient is willing to make the necessary dietary and lifestyle changes the healing is stifled and the body continues to decline with age. Natural medicine nurtures an active healthy lifestyle with a positive approach to the many stresses of modern living. If we take the time, the results are amazing, just like the results on a test. Give yourself the time to study the subject and you will know the answers required to pass the test. We all have the answers within. All we need to do is listen. Open your mind to yourself and you will learn how to heal the body.
The gift of self love.
Each day there are reasons to find a deeper connection with ourselves, to give ourselves the gift of love.
Looking in the mirror and saying,” today I give to you the healing of love, through my eyes I see the beauty I behold”. Give yourself this affirmation at the start of each day. Heal the pain and fear of love by creating a new love, YOURS.
“Today I am free to create the love that I need to be happy, and to bring myself into harmony with my body, mind and spirit.”
If you take the time to give this gift to yourself, the negative experiences surrounding you will seem lessoned. You will be empowered to enjoy your life more fully and have more energy.
A simple thought can change the way you feel about so many things, such as: I am a strong confident person. I am able to create all that I need to be happy in this lifetime.
This thought will assist you in finding the energy, power and focus to do more for yourself.
Remember you are worthy as well. Not only does everyone else deserve to have happiness, you do as well.
Think for a moment of the happiness you can achieve with your mind, your heart and your body if you believe you deserve it.
Today begin with giving yourself the gift of love Tell yourself, I deserve to love and be loved.
Friendship
Do we all know what it feels like to have a friend, be it our mother, father, sister or brother. At some point we have all had a friend. It feels great to know that there is someone who loves us “just because”, and that there is someone in this world that we can rely on, and count on when times are tough, or sad.
How do you cultivate a good honest friendship?
Be there. Be there whenever your friend calls upon you, even if you feel you want to be some where else. Be there.
If he or she calls you in need, remember this is your chance to prove your unconditional love. If you have said something you feel bad about ask them to forgive you. If you have lied to them, clear it up, tell the truth.
Don’t let the simple issues of life take away what is so pure and perfect in many ways.
A friend will be there when no-one else wants to be A friend will not judge, not demean or belittle, a friend will build you and make you know you are worthy.
You are a friend if you can look at yourself and know that you are there for someone and they are part of your heart.
Friendship has no price, no ulterior motive, just love.
A friend can lead you on a path that teaches your spirit to be free. I love my friends.
I love that I am a friend.
Here is a poem written by one of my most favourite friends, Sue Weaver, she has written a book of poetry to share with all of us, here is a sample of her loving friendship and divine gift.
OUR FRIENDSHIP
Our friendship's like a warm embrace
Which wraps around my heart
It lives within my mind and soul
We'll never be apart.
I think of you when life seems grim
My worries disappear
The dark gives way to brilliant light
And then I have no fear.
Our friendship has no boundaries
We do not place conditions
I give to you all that's within
I have no inhibitions.
Join me on my journey's quest
Share the beauty that I see
Which lies beyond each bend ahead
My friend you're part of me.
Fear
I define the emotion of fear as- A False Emotion Appearing Real.
There are so many reasons we are fearful. It seems that once we discover a fear our (ego*) gets a hold of it and takes control and any time we are weak the fear creeps in and makes us weaker.
How can we release fear?
As I have directed below, fear is but a false emotion. Is there reason to fear what our mind has created, or do we fear that our mind has created this emotion.
We are all capable of letting go of our fears; we need only to believe we can. If the fear is of heights what is it that we fear if we have never been to a high spot?
So many of us create fear without reason, fear of not being accepted, so we never venture out and into new groups. Fear of letting go of the past, in fear that there will never be anything as good in the future.
We fear so many different things, and usually without even experiencing what we are fearing.
Say for instance you were in an elevator and you suddenly became fearful because there was a bump in the movement. This is a real fear, there is potential danger. This is something that is true and tangible.
If the same happened and you became fearful “just because” without anything other than the mind creating fear out of nothing at all, or a story told to you or a news clip, this is not tangible not true, just your mind creating fear.
Can you tell your mind to let it go, to drop it, to see beyond the fear, and to not be so fearful.
Absolutely, but how many of us take the time to let go of our fears? We mostly live with our fears lurking inside of our minds, never addressing them until they are all present and in control of our emotional state.
Learn this lesson, we cannot change what was There is no way to go back We can only change the now If we are fearful of something that is real, then we are only able to take control over that moment. If we are fearful of something that was, we cannot release that past, only accept that you will not recreate the same events in the future on in the now moment in time.
Every time you get on an elevator it will not fall to the ground, if so there would be no elevators.
Therefore your fear of elevators is related to the past, not the present, let your mind know that you are in control of the false emotion and you will not accept the control. You yourself, your strong conscious mind are taking over and you are not allowing the past fear to control your journey of freedom Choose to be free from the fear and the ego will let go and become weak to your conscious control.
You are capable of being fearless.
Once I was fearful of going into large stadiums with many people, I heard a story about a group of people dying due to a fight and fire, I had a difficult time to accept that is was the past. I took control of my mind’s created fear and now can be in any size building without fear.
I am free from the mind’s ability to create fear out of past experiences. I live now in the strength of the conscious mind.
