Emotional pain

There are times when life presents challenges that feel too painful to bear. These challenges can be physical, emotional and spiritual in nature, and can come from internal and/or external causes, or even from realms that are beyond our comprehension. The challenges are faced in many ways, and each way leaves an imprint on the person facing the challenges.

Humor is considered to be a positive way to face challenges, and in general, that is true. It becomes negative when the humor is aimed at the heart or the insecure perception of oneself. Rationalization can be positive or negative, depending on how it’s built. Escapism is one way to face challenges, but in general, it eventually leads to inability to process reality. Striking out is a hurtful way to approach challenges, and it can lead to guilt, broken relationships, and further troubles. Suppressing feelings of hurt and disillusionment can lead to serious physical ailments, or to future growth if the person decides to abandon the hurtful events and focus on the future. Using the feelings of insignificance to bolster oneself towards achievement is helpful only when the person does not trample others on the way.

The spiritual realm sometimes drives the challenges that people face in ways that people cannot fathom. Changes in physical layering (the atmosphere, the magnetosphere, the auroras, and further on) or within the ground can sometimes be attributed to realms in which spiritual forces are at play. In these cases, people have little control and can only react and conjecture meaning.

When manipulation of groups by other groups occurs, each side faces challenges that can upend their lives. Deliberately setting out to harm other people causes physical injury and injury at the spiritual realm. Deliberately proselytizing is a human endeavor that causes change at the individual, group, and spiritual levels. When force is used in the proselytizing, the harm is irreparable. Deliberately harming a group member in one’s own group is defective, and deliberately harming a member of another group is equivalently defective but is often justified by the offending group. No action that is deliberately vindictive receives atonement; it is forever reverberating.

Reverberations of unkindness, violence, abandonment, brutality, duplicity, torture and terrorization, contemptuousness, gloating destructively, and self-exultation over despicable behavior, are causes of most of the challenges that people face. The actual actions could have happened to oneself or to one’s forebears and they lead to emotional pain that can be overwhelming.

Emotional pain displays itself through physical and mental manifestations, so that the causes can be hard to discern. The constructive way to handle hurts, be they physical or emotional, is to address them from several angles and rule out causes that do not apply. Generally, emotional pain resides in parts of the body that hold control or judgement, and each person has susceptible parts depending on physiology, age, tiredness, and learned behavior. (Examples of body parts that hold control are the brain, lungs, and pancreas. Examples of body parts that hold judgement are the small and large intestines, the prostate, and certain tendons in the ankles.) Societal pressures also exert influence on emotional pain. Isolating the cause of emotional pain (because there usually is one main cause) requires a willingness to accept that pain–physical, emotional or spiritual–might have its roots in forces that are internal or external.

Sugar addiction: PREVENTION!

As written in the post Sugar addiction: beating the cravings, sugar addiction “is an addiction that starts in infancy or childhood so that its foundation is deep-seated and broad.” The work of beating the cravings and of eating foods containing sugar in moderate amounts is extremely difficult. Once sugar addiction is created, the pull of sugar is stronger than the desire to resist it.

Prevention is possible, but it requires a commitment of the people surrounding a child to keep the child’s body free of sugar. These people must all be committed to protecting the child from sugar addiction. They must be united in their desire to shield the child from a lifetime of fighting the grips of sugar.

The sooner that sugar is introduced into an infant’s life, the stronger the addiction will be later on. Baby formulas that contain added sugar are the main culprits in bringing about sugar addiction. Sweet solutions or sweetened medications can have the same effects as the sweetened formula if they are administered on a regular basis.

When an infant is fed fruit before the age of five months, the fruit can trigger mild sugar addiction in a child that was breastfed. In general, fruit should be given in small amounts from the age of seven months. Sweeteners such as maple syrup and date syrup can be given in very small amounts from the age of nine months. Honey is considered safe for infants from twelve months, but it is slightly more addictive than maple and date syrups, and so it should be used sparingly.

After twelve months, attention should be given to limiting sweetened foods because they can enter a child’s  diet surreptitiously. Processed foods can contain hidden sugar and sweeteners, and they should be scrutinized before being added to a child’s diet. The more aware a child is of the foods that others are eating, the more diligence required to avoid consuming sweet foods in front of the child. Denying a sweet food item to a child while consuming it yourself is callous. So too are family dinners at which desserts are served but denied to the child. If you struggle with sugar addiction, try to shield your children from your addiction.

Birthday parties and gatherings of children pose a struggle when raising a child without a sugar addiction. When attending these gatherings, make sure to feed your child well beforehand so that he or she has less room for more food. As children grow older, you will be less able to monitor intake of sweets, but the older the child is when sugar addiction grabs hold, the less its stranglehold.

If grandparents, family friends and relatives insist on supplying sugared foods, your control over your child’s sugar intake is hampered. In these cases, provide your child with healthful meals and abundant time outdoors to counter sugar’s insidious clutches.

Sugar addiction: beating the cravings

Sugar addiction is generally stronger than addiction to nicotine. It is an addiction that starts in infancy or childhood so that its foundation is deep-seated and broad. To break sugar addiction requires more than a desire to limit sugar intake. The pull of sugar outweighs most people’s ability to resist its tremendous power.

The way to beat sugar cravings is as follows:

  • Eat a diet high in at least two of these food items: (a) bell peppers; (b) nuts, such as walnuts and pecans; (c) sesame products, such as tahini and sesame oil; and/or (d) seaweed, such as dulse and wakame. During this time, drink extra liquids such as water and chicory drinks (chicory drinks that aren’t mixed with coffee).
  • Eat amounts of food that fill but don’t overfill. A meal that leaves a sense of something missing usually leads to consumption of a sugary food item.
  • When a sugar pull is felt, do three things immediately: (a) do deep breathing exercises for two minutes; (b) think about a future goal; and (c) empty your mind–no thoughts–for a minute or two.
  • Learn about health afflictions that are caused by sugar consumption.
  • Remove tempting sugary food items from your home. If other people living in your home object, reduce as much as possible the items that tempt you.
  • Design your days to include moments of deep breathing, moments of mild physical activity, and moments of fresh air.

Sugar addiction is powerful, but can be overcome by training your body to respond to the sugar pull clearly–>through eating foods that temper the pull, through breathing exercises and directed thought processes, through education about sugar’s harmful effects on your body, through careful purchasing, and through thoughtful activities that refresh and realign your body. The six steps listed above, when all included in daily living, will guarantee a path to release from the stranglehold of sugar addiction.

The Percentages for Decline

Natural death has its percentages. In the distant past, the percentages were the same as they are in today’s world. We think that modernity has changed that fact, but it hasn’t. In general people in modern societies live longer, but the causes of decline remain the same. Here are the percentages:

  • Genetics: 40%
  • Nutritional intake (food, water, and empty calories): 20%
  • Mental flexibility: 5%
  • Traumas: 6%
  • Physical fitness: 6%
  • Isolation: 8%
  • Spiritual assistance: 15%

Genetics

Our parents transmit the bulk of our ability to weather aging, or not. They are equally responsible for our genetic percentage. This percentage is large because of our natural design.

Nutritional intake

People have been ingesting empty calories for millennia, but the industries of modern processed foods and non-foods have taken empty calories to a summit. The more empty calories ingested, the sooner death approaches. Modern medicines have managed to wrangle extra years for many people, but the approach towards death has become a painful struggle. (Non-foods include cigarettes and other tobacco products, overconsumption of alcoholic beverages, and overuse of addictive drugs [legal or not]).

Mental flexibility

The ability to take in events that happen throughout one’s life and interpret them in a harmful or neutral way affect longevity and suffering.

Traumas

People cannot control all the traumas that happen to them throughout their lives. They control their interpretation of the traumas.

Physical fitness

In general, being physically fit contributes to longevity. It also contributes to life quality.

Isolation

People are meant to interact with people, with other creatures, and with the natural environment. Isolation shortens longevity by inducing suicide, illness, and mental rigidity.

Spiritual assistance

Connection to spiritually uplifts and buoys people.

My rant about…

This post is completely from me and not from Spirit.

I went to an alternative spiritual festival this past weekend and attended a rebirthing session, which I’d never done before. It was a VERY interesting experience, and it brought up strong emotions and thoughts that basically became a rant.

As I entered the rhythm of the session, my first thought was one of anger at my mother for having filled me with medications when I was a child and having fed me extremely unhealthy foods. (When I think back to tastes from my childhood, they include the sweet chalky taste of Kaopectate, a chocolate crunchy medication I don’t remember the name of, alka-seltzer, and cherry cough drops.) She fanatically followed my bowel movements and stomach complaints, and immediately addressed them with medications. I was a sickly kid and spent a lot of time in the company of doctors at their offices or at home visits.

My anger at my mother then moved to the doctors who were her advisors. They’re the ones that advised her how to be a good, caring mother and which drugs to give for which issue, and when to graduate to prescription drugs for a stronger effect. My anger widened to include the marketers of the drugs who convince people of the need for these drugs. Then my anger widened to include the marketers of unhealthy processed foods who convinced my mother that their products were good for children. I had a lot of anger swirling around in my head!

As I moved into a calmer phase of the rebirthing session, I reminded myself how far I’ve moved past that unhealthy phase of my life, and I started to calm down.

But then I started to think about the new phase of life I’ve entered, that of older age, and how so many of the people I know are full force into that phase of going from doctor appointments to blood tests to more invasive tests to appointments with specialists, on and on, and much of that prodding and testing is for chronic issues that conventional medicine doesn’t know how to address. My anger started to grow again!

I’m angry at the medical establishment for convincing people that they don’t have agency over their own health. People who are extremely bright and competent in other areas become like children following the orders of their doctors. (I’m not against conventional medicine for treating issues that alternative therapies can’t treat [like injuries after accidents, separating conjoined twins, etc.]). I’m ranting about conventional medicine’s inability to treat the body as a whole and treat chronic afflictions.

By the end of the rebirthing session, the anger at my mother had receded and I recognized that she was just trying to be a good mother, but had been manipulated by others (or had unintentionally allowed herself to be manipulated). My angry feelings towards the forces that encourage ill health and reliance on medications continued, so I decided to try and release them in this rant.

What do I hope for? For people to rise up and take charge of their health and change their diets when changing the diet will make a difference and change destructive habits (I know, easier said than done) and explore healing therapies beyond the conventional ones. That all applies to me, too. 🙂

Anxiety is riddled with misunderstandings

Being anxious has become standard behavior for us modern folks. Ask a person to describe himself and there’s a good chance he’ll include anxiety as a lifestyle descriptor. Feeling anxious is how many teenagers and children generally feel, especially those who are in step with the modern conveniences of smartphones and social media apps. Those who overeat or undereat, those who question their abilities or physical features, those who pretend to be experts or moderate proficients, and those who live facades or lies–all experience anxiety, that is, self-imposed struggle to maintain their self-imposed reality. (For young children, anxiety can be reactions to reality that is imposed on them through improper care by caregivers or experiences of fear or deep sadness. Anxiety in children can be included in this post discussion, but the remedies are often not in the children’s hands.)

What are the misunderstandings about anxiety? Anxiety is not an illness. Anxiety is not unnatural. Anxiety is not insurmountable. And it’s not combated with drugs or over-emphasis.

Anxiety is a natural response to uncertainty and pressure. It operates from a place of protection. It also helps slow down responses and missteps. Anxiety gives the body and mind a place to process confusion and expectations. It is a helpful experience because it causes people to pause or stop.

Anxiety is a symptom of overcompensation, overthinking, and undervaluing oneself. It is helpful when too much is being asked of a person or when expectations are impossible to achieve. It pushes towards reexamination of goals and ideas. It also pushes towards changes in personality and relationships (especially for anxious children).

Anxiety is best handled through examination of goals, relationships, and lifestyle choices. Each of these areas can contribute to anxiety, and so by examining them and recognizing the things that lead to anxiety, the anxiety can be lifted through revision of expectations. For children who are experiencing anxiety, parents and caregivers must examine their expectations on the children and pay attention to the children’s natural talents and likes.

Anxiety is a call to action, a call to make changes.

Taking a break for now

I started this blog in September 2013 as a way to introduce people to Energy Guidance Complete. Since then, I’ve shared the information I receive from Spirit, hoping that others would recognize the wisdom as I have. Although Spirit wants me to share more, I feel that we’ve covered so many important issues and I’m ready to take a break. From time to time, I’ll share more information if Spirit pushes me to do so. I’m finishing a book titled Love Leads the Way, which will be out in the beginning of 2021. I’ll write a post when it’s published.

I’ll leave you with links to topics that I think are extremely important and worth considering:

Breathing with a mask

mask

Wearing a mask can affect health when the breathing is too restricted. The positioning of the mask and its comfort on the face are important for overall health.A mask that compresses the nostrils or constricts the jaw affects natural breathing and blood flow. A mask that bruises the area behind the ears or cuts into the chin affects the immune system and the flow of lymph.

Breathing is also affected by the mask’s effects on feelings. Feelings of anger, fear, or powerlessness can cause breathing that is agitated. Feeling that the mask is repressive or unsightly can cause shallow breathing.

People who normally oxygenate their bodies through shallow breathing may breathe more shallowly with a mask. The mask will lead to breathing issues because the breathing was inadequate before and is now more inadequate.

There are ways to breathe when wearing a mask that provide enough oxygen to keep the body functioning properly. Here are tips:

  • If you don’t wear a mask as part of your regular work routine, you need time to adjust to it. When you place the mask on your face, focus on how you’re breathing and correct the mask’s placement if your nose is too constricted, your ears hurt, or your jaw or chin feel too much tightness.
  • Once the mask is properly placed, practice breathing deeply. You can practice while staying in one place or moving. The main thing is to focus on deep breathing.
  • If you find yourself feeling agitated or worried because of the mask or because of the situation, remove the mask if possible and take several deep breaths. If you can’t remove the mask, try to take several deep breaths and think about getting oxygen to your body so that it can support you during your emotional moment.

“The Food 20/20 Plan” has been printed!

Cover_Food 2020

I’m happy to announce that “The Food 20/20 Plan” has been printed and is available on amazon.com! It’s a book that makes me very happy because it combines my interest in nutrition with guidance from Spirit. I hope you can see the cover clearly, because it shows all the elements of the plan and their importance in our diets.

Here’s the introduction:

“Food 20/20 means seeing food and the eating process with 20/20 vision, seeing them clearly and with focus. Eating is a process that keeps us alive and keeps our bodies functioning. Eating is meant to support our bodies as long as we are alive, and is meant to help us maintain good health.

Nourishment is more than consuming foods that supply nutrients to the body. Nourishment includes intention and atmosphere. Nourishment of the body nourishes the soul when the intention is appreciative of the food and the atmosphere is uplifting.

The Food 20/20 plan presents eating that is elevated and satisfying. Following it can open you to better health, increased energy, and fulfilling dining experiences!

Note: The information in this book has been spiritually received.”

Overcoming the immune system decimators

Support

The immune system is designed to stay functional, but modern society provides too many ways to sabotage it. In the post “Immune system decimators”, the decimators are listed, and some of them are discussed in later posts:

Environmental hazards that decimate the immune system

More about immune system decimators

Immune system decimators, exploration continued

If you want to know what to do to overcome the destructive work that can be done to your immune system, read on…

Here are ten must-dos to keep your immune system functioning properly:

  • Food first:
    Less sugar, more salads. Less white flour, more lentils. Less margarine, more water and soup. Less processed meats and cheeses, more seeds. Less soft drinks, more whole grains.
  • Environmental hazards:
    Switch to natural cleansers and remove cleaning products that contain ingredients listed in the environmental hazards post. Limit dry cleaning. Keep smartphones and smart devices farther from your body. Avoid cigarette smoke and cut back if you smoke. Use natural beauty products. Avoid sunscreen products that are not safe.
  • Sleep:
    Each person needs to understand his or her sleep needs and be mindful to fulfill them. (There are other blog posts about sleep.)
  • Trauma:
    Working through past traumas is very important. When the current time is traumatic, steps to handle the trauma are very important.
  • Injury from drugs:
    Carefully check labels of prescription and nonprescription drugs to be aware of side effects and possible contraindications. Addictions are difficult to handle alone and require resolve and support from others: for addictions to legal or illegal drugs, aim to get help.
  • Loud sounds:
    Loud sounds are detrimental to the immune system, especially for children. Keep this fact in mind as you live your life.
  • Alcoholic beverages:
    Drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation and at a slow pace has little effect on health, unless there are any of these circumstances: tendency towards addiction in the family, when autoimmune conditions are suspected or confirmed, when overconsumption of sweets or insulin resistance are occurring, when alcoholic beverages are forced on a person who doesn’t want them. Alcoholism, like addiction to drugs, is difficult to handle alone.

There are more ways to build up the immune system; however, the must-dos listed above have a very big effect.

Immune system decimators, exploration continued

older man smoking

In the blog post, “Immune system decimators”, the major things that decimate the immune system are listed. Today we’ll find out about a two of them that are surprisingly related.

Let’s look at: 7. Trivialization of bodily functions  (includes ignoring signals to urinate and defecate) and 9. Drug-related injury  (includes damage from cigarettes, prescription and nonprescription drugs, and  improper use of drugs). Each of these causes are partially within a person’s control and partially not.

Trivialization of bodily functions can be taught or self-discovered. People who feel that they are too busy to attend to bodily functions have self-discovered this behavior. People who were taught as children that bodily functions are unimportant or negative have less control of their destructive behavior. The impact on the immune system depends on a person’s age when trivialization of bodily functions starts to be a way of life. Over time, the immune system is more and more impacted and it can eventually give up. Taking care of bodily functions is of utmost importance for balance and well-being.

People choose to use drugs for many reasons. Sometimes drugs are prescribed to them by doctors. Sometimes a friend supplies them. Sometimes a person searches them out. Sometimes societal pressure convinces people that the drugs are a way of life. Whatever the reasons for using drugs, their impact on the immune system is the same. If the drug is taken irregularly, its impact on the immune system is dependent on the person’s age and emotional state. Chronic drug use, like trivialization of bodily functions, impacts the immune system and causes it to give up.

Once the immune system has been decimated by drug use that is chronic or excessive or by extended trivialization of bodily functions, the body cannot protect itself from invading viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Internal gene-related disturbances are usually not triggered by these types of disturbances, unless fear is present and is chronic or overly strong.

The immune system requires a functioning framework in which to handle its duties. External decimators, like drugs, and internal decimators, like trivialization of bodily functions, break the framework. The immune system simply cannot handle the onslaught of destruction.

***IMMUNE SYSTEM*** 

IMMUNE SYSTEM! These two words should appear in all caps and with marquee emphasis! The immune system keeps our bodies protected and strong. Without protection and strength, our bodies can succumb to viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, wounds, and criticism.

The immune system prevents the onset of diseases and aging-related symptoms. When the immune system is strong, autoimmune syndromes are thwarted (before they start), gene-initiated attacks are prevented, emotional turmoil is lessened, and minor ailments are avoided. The immune system, when it is functioning properly, is that powerful!

Here are the major things that decimate the immune system’s ability to protect and strengthen our bodies. They are presented in their order of severity.

  1. Exposure to environmental hazards
  2. Trauma that is physical and emotional which overwhelms the body
  3. Sleep that is too little for the person’s age
  4. Holding onto perceived injustices
  5. Constant criticism
  6. Inadequate nutrition (includes inadequate intake of water)
  7. Trivialization of bodily functions (includes ignoring signals to urinate and defecate)
  8. Fear
  9. Drug-related injury (includes damage from cigarettes, prescription and nonprescription drugs, and  improper use of drugs)
  10. Exposure to overly loud sounds (children are especially affected)
  11. Alcoholism
  12. Exposure to people who are ill

Each of these immune-system decimators attacks the immune system with varying degrees of damage depending on the person’s age, current health status, and emotional stamina. In combination, they can overwhelm and defeat the body’s ability to withstand them.

The second most important step in a good night’s sleep

sleep

Sleep is more important that most people think. It isn’t a waste of time or dreaded event. It is the time when our bodies repair, restore, recharge, and reconnect (through dreams). Nighttime sleep is the most important sleep, because our bodies were designed to rest at night for a length of time.

The importance of extended nighttime sleep cannot be overstressed. We don’t have to sleep the entire night without waking up in the middle for the sleep to be successful. We can even wake up five, six, seven times! The main thing is to let the sleep atmosphere remain, and the body will do its repairing, restoring, recharging, and reconnecting.

If you have trouble falling asleep or returning to sleep after awakening in the middle, keep your eyes closed and lie in bed quietly. If you need a bathroom break, take it and then return to bed immediately and close your eyes. Your body will continue its important nighttime work. If you turn on a light, look at your phone or computer, watch TV, read a book, or talk, the nighttime work ceases. Even if you sleep later the next day, the interrupted sleep will limit the nighttime work that was meant to be done.

If your work forces you to stay awake at night, aim to have uninterrupted sleep during the day so that your body can do its restorative work. The repair, recharging, and reconnection work might not be as thorough, but some will take place.

Parents of infants and young children often don’t get uninterrupted sleep. For them, making sure to eat well can help the body stay balanced.

Spending the effort on Your health

Post 17-loiving self

Investing in your health is a wise move. Taking the time to know your body and its needs is smart. Learning about healthful living and natural healing is time spent appropriately.

Investing in your health is not expensive when you understand the basics of good health. Here are the basics:

  1. Drink water that is free of additives such as sugar, sugar substitutes, or rust from old pipes. Water from the tap is good, unless the water is from a polluted source.
    **Spend the time to learn about the water source in your area.
  2. Notice how you feel when you wake up in the morning without an alarm. The rested feeling is your body’s way of teaching you the amount of sleep it needs.
    **Spend the time to understand your body’s sleep needs and honor the importance of sleep.
  3. Invest time every day in relationships. Family, friends, and acquaintances add a dimension to life that is irreplaceable.
    **Kind words are free, as are smiles, hugs, and caring gestures. Use this free currency as often as possible.
  4. Take time to learn about nutrition.
    **The food you put into your body every day either fuels your health or leads to illness and decay. Choose health!
  5. Expand your heart, your intangible heart. Heart-felt living brings comfort and confidence.
    **Learn your body’s reactions to being helpful. Do you feel warm and friendly when you think about animals? How do you feel when you think about the sea or the sky or flowers? Remember how you felt when people were kind to you. Consider the things that really comfort or excite you, and explore ways to bring them into your life.

—————————

More can be done to live well, but the basics are a smart place to start. Here’s to good health and investing wisely in it!

Flu Prevention

no-to-fluWe can lessen the possibility of being sickened from flu viruses if we do at least five of the following things:

  • Sleep the proper amount for your body. The body requires enough sleep to fortify against invading germs. A weary body struggles against powerful flu viruses.
  • Breathe protectively. Shallow breathing cannot supply oxygen like deep breathing. The more rhythmic and deep the breathing throughout the day, the more the body can withstand flu vitality.
  • Create music or listen deeply to music during the winter season. Music has a protective effect on our bodies.
  • Wear clothing that protects. Don’t wear clothes for warm weather in the winter. Don’t overdress in overheated spaces. Don’t over-shiver (shivering is a normal reaction to cold, but over-shivering means the shivering has gone on for too long or the intensity of the cold is too much for your body).
  • Food: eat cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, radish, cabbage, cauliflower, arugula, etc.), parsley, lemon, orange-colored vegetables (carrot, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, etc.), pomegranate, mulberries, buckwheat, garlic, blackstrap molasses, kombu seaweed. Eat a reasonable amount of food each day. Too much food taxes the body’s defenses. Too little food lowers the body’s resistance.
  • Stay hydrated throughout the day. The body can flush out flu viruses when fluids are flowing optimally. Water is the best hydrator, followed by barley tea and parsley juice/tea.
  • Stay active. Keep exercising and moving throughout the winter months.
  • Stay away from people carrying a flu virus. The easiest way to spot a carrier is to notice their vitality. People carrying a flu virus that is transferable have given their vitality to the virus. (By the time carriers have the flu symptoms, they may have already passed the virus on to others, so looking for lack of vitality is an early clue to virus protection.)
  • Stay optimistic, which offers protection from many types of germs.
  • Aim to feel content, which also offers protection from many types of germs.

Standing up for the body

Renee by olive tree

Our bodies are so wondrously composed that to question their capabilities is silly. Our bodies beat out rhythms that move us upwards and forwards. They protect us and guide us when we listen. And they constantly communicate when we are open to listening. People who listen to their bodies recognize hints of illness and shouts of desire. The hints lead to proper care and the shouts lead to connections.

People who don’t listen to their bodies require wake up calls and intervention from experts (who don’t know them).

The body, in its exquisite design, is capable of pushing towards movement, of pushing towards sleep, of pushing towards satisfaction, and pushing towards wellness. The key to tapping into the capabilities is to feel what’s happening, what’s really happening: Are the eyelids drooping? Are the bones tightening? Is the stomach grumbling, and is it quiet when the foods eaten are nourishing? Is the heart feeling joy or is it sad? Is the time to drink water now, and am I drinking water (and not a carbonated beverage)? Am I noticing the signs of illness and am I slowing my pace? Is this my third cold this season, and what does that mean? Have I enjoyed the company of people I love and have I shared my love with them? Is now the time to reach spirituality, and can I be open to new ideas? When will I open my mouth to say what I need, and when will I use my wisdom to advance the welfare of the community? More and more hints on how to proceed in life.

By standing up for the body—by recognizing its gift that is guidance—we can live with wonder and satisfaction. The way we are designed!

Reaction #3 to “The health effects of the latest technologies”

Heart wise

The future holds so much promise, yet our advances—the ones that make our lives more easy and predictable—are the ones that will upend the advances’ promises of better.

The advances of “smart” technologies will create entrenched changes in people that will defy treatment. Besides the effects from the smart technologies, the lessening of joyous movement by children and the withdrawal from nature will cement the entrenched changes further.

Offering young children smartphones as playthings is the beginning of the entrenched changes. The children will be affected in the eyes, in the cardiovascular circulation, in the olfactory abilities, and in the processing of emotional thoughts. The addictive draw of the screen’s amazingness pulls from the children their natural rush to move, which will affect their spinal and muscular development. The wondrousness of the screens’ offerings will lessen the wondrousness of the natural world and the children will lose their connection to the Earth’s glory, which will affect their senses of taste, touch, and intuition.

Adults who wear the smart gadgets will have less ingrained changes than the children, but if they also reduce their movement and distance from nature, then their bodies will respond unhappily. The changes depend on age, length of exposure, and time spent with other people.

Distancing from nature and lessening of movement, when accompanied by the side effects of the latest generation of medications, will exacerbate the side effects. People who take these medications require continuous connection to nature and joyous movement to lessen the side effects.

Here ends input from God about the impact of smart gadgets and medication side effects combined with sedentary lifestyle and little exposure to nature. This response relates to the blog posts The health effects of the latest technologies,  Reaction #1, and Reaction #2.

I am sad to be the bearer of this information, but I do hope that people will heed these messages of warning.

Reaction #1 to “The health effects of the latest technologies”

smart gadgets

IN yesterday’s blog post, we were informed that the latest technologies are causing new types of illnesses. That knowledge is distressing, to say the least.

I pushed for advice about dealing with the onslaught of external changes (like smartphones, smart watches, activity trackers, wearable computer glasses, and to-be-announced-soon footwear, that uses computer tracking).

In today’s blog post, we will receive advice from God about protecting ourselves from the latest invasive technologies. I know these new devices seem helpful and are appealing, but we’re being warned about their future bad effects, and we really need to pay attention–me too!

  1. Wearing computer devices is harmful. They disrupt the body’s functioning. The longer they are next to your bodies, the more harm they cause. Keep them at a distance. [This advice also applies to smartphone that are kept in pockets or in arm bands and other containers very close to the body.]
  2. Tracking steps is confused desireability. Knowing exactly how far you’ve walked or how many steps you’ve actually taken seems desireable, but the devices that provide this information will cause illnesses and changes in body functioning. Don’t use these devices.
  3. Placement of the devices is very important. The farther away from the body, the better. Keep smartphones in a container [backpack, thick waist pack, purse, or messenger bag]. When holding a smartphone, hold it for short periods of time. For children, no more than twelve minutes and no more than three times a day (no more than 36 minutes); for ages 20 and up, no more than fifteen minutes and no more than four times a day (no more than sixty minutes). For extended viewing of the screen, place the smartphone in a holder and don’t hold the holder.

A reminder from yesterday’s blog post: the younger the age of exposure to these devices, the more havoc created for the body. If you have young children, resist the pull to use these devices to pacify your children.

Reaction #2 to “The health effects of the latest technologies”

Migraines

Medications are such a big part of our healing paradigm that it’s difficult to receive the warning in the blog post “EGC sessions with God: The health effects of the latest technologies” that the latest generation of medications “will cause changes to fundamental functioning in the body”. The warning in that blog post refers to substances that are ingested and injected into the body.

All along, medications have brought healing and side effects. They have prevented medical catastrophes and created new versions of diseases and illnesses. They have superseded the body’s healing capabilities and inactivated many of the body’s healing mechanisms. The good and the bad intertwined in the quest to be pain-free and unencumbered by illness.

Here is advice to protect yourself and your family from the undesirable effects of medications. This information comes from the connection I have with God.

  1. Cultivate your health: sing and dance; invest in friendships and family relationships; sleep enough; pay attention to your body’s signals; smile and let yourself be relaxed; eat nutritious foods and drink simple drinks like water and nature teas.

  2. When illnesses strike, allow your body to initiate healing responses. When pain is felt, breathe deeply to allow the oxygen to assist in relaxing and tranquilizing the painful area. When diseases overtake, use natural healing techniques before turning to medical intervention. When unwellness becomes chronic, examine lifestyle choices and modify them towards well-being. When aging changes your previous abilities, open to the wisdom your body is sharing.

  3. When medical intervention is required, continue to care for your body as if it has temporarily become overwhelmed. Eat the foods that heal, sleep the amount of time that heals, distract yourself with happiness, and let your body communicate with you as much as possible.

So much healing can occur without medical intervention, but we have to educate ourselves about natural healing techniques and we have to listen to our bodies. Medications and medical procedures should be used with wisdom and awareness of their potentials for healing and harming.

Advances in the capabilities to manipulate basic body functioning are large in their ability to seem like answers, when in actuality, they can be instigators of challenges yet to come.
