These times are different and challenging, demanding change. Calling us to change.
Presently, the bodies we inhabit are challenging us. Our present condition now hosts a virus that has taken our worldly attention and our attention has given it, COVID-19, a lot of power to destroy us, for a while. Like all phenomena, it will come to an end. The virus, once it no longer has the supportive environment it needs to survive, will leave.
We now and have been for generations treating only the symptoms of our diseases. We have drugs for a headache, surgery for a cancer, vaccinations for viruses. We are fighting a war against nature that is impossible to win. We are presently at war with something that has taken our complete attention.
Disease is a result of and can be a strengthening to a weakened immune system which includes the body as a whole – an interdependent unified whole. The presence of the virus triggers symptoms we’ve been conditioned to understand as disease, meaning trouble – which it is – and, when we are aware of this, we actually enable our body to retreat, to rest and allow the intelligence of nature, the natural intellect of our body to proceed in its cleansing, its healing.
Our lifestyle, which includes our way of thinking, eating and consuming, can weaken our personal and Earth’s immune system (which is one in the same) if we are not living consciously.
In Oriental medicine, “trouble” also means “opportunity.”
