Healing Crisis-Take Charge of your Life!

Whenever I go into a healing crisis, my natural default mode is panic. Then, I mobilize all of my energy, and begin a rigorous self-help detox program, move the stressors out of my life (promising to be more vigilant to keep them away) and before I know it, I feel more in control. In my life, nothing makes me feel more out of balance then a health issue. Yet, every health crisis always opens new doors. I wish it could be another way like- new doors open without the health crisis. I tell myself that it is definitely in my astrological chart; natal Saturn in Leo on the 7th house cusp now retrograde for the rest of my life in the sixth house of health. Well, to me, a person who loves astrology knows that says it all. So when transiting Saturn in Scorpio squared my natal Saturn in Leo-voila health crisis-and like always, with it a promise of a new door opening. A new and very exciting door! The new door for me is a vigilant program of juicing two times a day, (all organic, kale, carrots, apple, celery, fresh ginger root and garlic) raw foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, prayer three times a day, meditation two times a day. Walking, swimming, and a week in Florida coming up at the Hippocrates Health Institute. I can’t wait. Here’s what I get to look forward to:
1-Lectures on health and healing and alternative modalities by leaders in the field (my field)

 2-Superior nutrition through a diet of organically grown, enzyme rich, raw, life-giving foods.

 3-Detoxification

 4-Colonics

 5-Far infrared saunas and steam room

 6-Ozone pools with dead-sea salts and Jacuzzi

 7-Massages

 8-Bio-energy treatments

 9-Counseling

 10-Stress evaluation

 So my question to myself is this; why do I wait to do these things? Why do I need a health crisis to wake me up? Anyway, that’s history. From now I pledge to do more of this every week and to go down to West Palm Beach Florida to Hippocrates at least one time a year!

Love, Healing, Light and many Blessings.

The Healing Journey

Even with the understanding that we are all spiritual beings of light reincarnated back to earth for a physical/spiritual experience, the earth-walk can be challenging physically, emotionally and spiritually and sometimes overwhelming. Loss and change brings anxiety and fear. These intense emotional responses throw us off center and make us lose our balance. Adrenaline flows especially when a person experiences a life threatening event; loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, divorce, or illness. During times of loss and during less critical times-being stuck in a traffic jam, or late for work-it makes it difficult to relax and turn it over to a Higher Power. Fear sets in bringing with it rushes of adrenaline that change the chemistry in the body increasing anxiety and fear. A stress cycle begins; fear, adrenaline, anxiety-not pleasant at all are experienced. Affirmations reminding to trust and let go competes with the survival mechanism the fight or flight response. This built in survival mechanism is designed to give us energy to deal with dangerous situations and ensure survival. The repeated ongoing release of adrenaline is not conducive for relaxation, nor is it healthy for the mind or the body. The body remains tense, spiritual contact is lost, and cortisol pours into the blood producing a sticky substance that flows into the arteries. During very stressful times when you don't feel you can do anything to relax, turn it over to a Higher Power of your choosing.

Letting go and letting ourselves be led by our Higher Power is not a passive approach to life. It makes good sense to let go and surrender especially during challenging times. When we surrender, we remember that we are spiritual beings of light reincarnated to earth to have a physical experience. To make the life-walk easier it is best to have a circle of people you trust and that you can reach out during times of crisis and stress.

The Twelve Step programs are an excellent choice and there are many. Most people have heard of AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, but there is also NA Narcotics Anonymous, and Al-Anon and Alateen. Codependents Anonymous addressing relationship issues, ACOA, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Overeaters Anonymous, to name a few all based on the Twelve Step Program for healing. All of the Twelve Step groups are free and spiritually based reminding that the best way to guide your life is by creating a relationship with your personal Higher Power so that you have a guide who is always with you, always loving you, caring and keeping your best interests in Its Heart and Mind as you move along on your healing journey into the Light and Love of God.

Love, Light, Healing, and Many Blessings
