Ask Not What Your Body Can Do For You...But What You Can Do For Your Body

Dear Holistic Health & Natural Healing Friends,

Each day I wake up and look in the mirror, I look a little different.
Some days, I have a few more freckles, other days a few less.
Sometimes my hair looks a tad more brown, other times slightly more black. On certain days, I seem to look a little younger. On others, a bit older.

Not specifically because of a particular outfit, hairstyle, makeup, or accoutrements. Mostly, because that is how Mother Nature shines her light through me. This is true for all of us.

We all are affected by our environments, both internal and external. We respond to the air we breathe, food we eat, exercise we partake in, emotions we feel, thoughts we think.

One of my favorite experiments performed in recent years is the effect of positive and negative thoughts, emotions, energies on water crystals. When water crystals are exposed to positivity and 'good vibes' through written & spoken word, thoughts, music, healthy foods and biotic organisms, the crystals form beautiful snowflake-like patterns. Conversely, when water crystals are in the presence of negativity and 'bad vibes' such as inorganic toxins, excessively loud music or anger (spoken, written, or thought), they respond by forming misshapen and distorted patterns.

We, humanity, are composed mostly of water. We live on a planet which realistically, is more like a giant body of water with some floating land masses--rather than the other way around. Our atmosphere is comprised largely, of water. We can live for many, days without food but few without water.

Today, instead of trying to control or override your body, rather than 'beaming in' forceful, frustrated, or demanding thoughts, emotions, and behaviors...take a few minutes to tune into your body. Turn down the volume a few decibels on your predominant thoughts or feelings. Try emptying your mind and heart of all that weighs you down. Envision a peaceful, continuous body of water that connects you to your own cells, to the community of people around you, the Earth, the air. If you meditate on what your body most needs, you may be surprised to learn that its just a little more TLC!

Peace, Love & Healing,
~Jennifer
