Finding Balance in Moderation
The topic of the month...
It's spring, suns out and I want to play. I also want to heal. Where is balance in a healthy healing world? Play too much, too tired to heal. No playing way too rigid, too routine, no fun and lose social skills. Too much food, digestive system shuts down, the result, no energy. Too little sleep again no energy. Balance is different for every individual; goals are different, but that is what makes us unique. However, we are still similar. In search of love, peace, happiness and security. We get lonely, but we are not alone... We are AL-ONE! So, I continue on my path remembering to hold on, embrace, and enjoy the ride... And so can you!
I feel strong this month as I work to weave the neuralgic patterning deep into my unconscious body. At the same time, I must let go and unwind the spots that continue to hold. The yin and yang of healing. Time, patience and daily work (for years) required in order to see results. In the beginning it looks like nothing; with consistent work and repetition something beautiful does appear. Life! Movement! Circulation! Less strain, less tension, and less pain! What would you give up? What would you do to bring life back into your limbs? I want to play, run, dance in the suns' rays. As I ease my mind I think to the day with clear vision that there will be less pain, more movement and no cane....Freedom and feeling good the goal.
In San Diego, I will be attending The Optimum Health Institute... A holistic mission for mental, physical, and spiritual healing. The link: www.optimumhealth.org. The OHI program has participants learn to purify and detoxify the body with diet, fasting, cleansing, and exercise; quieting the mind with journaling and meditation; and strengthen the spirit with study, prayer and meditation.
I have everything booked: the room, flights, salt scrubs, massages and colonics. I depart on May 9 and return on the 23rd of May... unless they invite me to stay another week; The actual program is 3 weeks in total...I'll stay for three!
It should be a real healing/detoxing experience. I want my body to want for nothing.... meaning nutrients. I feel detoxing and cleansing the body from antibiotics, heavy metals, parasites, fungus, bacteria, toxins can only help. If nothing else there are many interesting classes.. I'm excited, as I have never done anything like this before. I feel this experience will bring the last 11 years of recovery to a closure. I also believe this will give me continued insight and knowledge in order to help others help themselves. As I am working towards a career as a life/health coach and feel that all aspects of wellness, including detoxing is key to the holistic healing process.
Over the next few weeks, I will blog daily about the in's and out's of my cleansing experience... if web access is available. I also want to thank some friends that have helped make this trip possible; John from Finishing Touch Auto Body, Jean Pierre Marques and Heather Vencenzi. Without their donations this trip would not have been possible. New beginnings with new knowledge in order to help others heal themselves.
