One of the most powerful teachings I've been gifted to receive was the teaching about grace. Grace means that there is a divine energy (that has many names) moving through us at all times. This is the energy that grows the sapling to a fruit-bearing tree and allows the bird to find food and a nesting place. This divine energy is always there supporting us toward our highest good. But we, as conscious human beings, get lost in "doing". We worry and strive, denying that we are exactly where we need to be, forgetting to connect to the ever-present grace guiding our way. I find that when I meditate, I can drop the fears, the striving to be better and the toxic thoughts and in that space I can connect to grace. Much like the sapling, I grow towards my full potential naturally.
Interestingly, this teaching applies to our bodies as well. I have learned, along with modern science, that the body has a state of grace called homeostasis. Homeostasis is an innate process that continually keeps the body moving towards health, as long as it is not interfered with. Toxins in our food source and environment have become one of the leading contributors to ill health. This is because they take the body away from its natural state of grace "homeostasis".
So as meditation can help us cleanse the mind, I participate in and recommend to all of my patients, a
thorough body Detox once per year to help cleanse the body. Remember, we have all we need to be healthy in body, mind and spirit, we just need to remove interference and return to our natural state of grace. Until our next adjustment...
