If I had to give just one teaching about what I’ve learned in all of my studies, it would be this. To truly heal and optimally care for our bodies, we must see ourselves as one with all that is. We cannot see ourselves as separate from anything around us or within us. We must look at our relationship with our food, with the earth, with our families, co-workers and communities. All of it is connected. No separation. When we think of food as something that comes from outside of ourselves, as something separate from us, we can take a lot for granted and it’s easy to feed our bodies substances that do not serve it. But when we realize our connection to the earth, our place in the greater ecosystem of life on this planet – the animals, plants, trees, water, air, rocks and the life system as a whole – we can begin to act in a way that moves life through us as a part of the continuous cycle of nature. |
The life force that moves through everything and connects us all as one will inform and govern our movements in a way that will only provide for our good and the good of the whole.
This is not something that can be solely understood with the mind. We must take it in to our hearts and feel it, experience it and live it. It is a part of each of us – inside. We must each connect with and live from this inner union in order to truly heal ourselves and our planet. We cannot heal ourselves and ignore the cries of the planet, nor can we heal the planet and continue to mishandle our bodies.
This is a path of learning – a part of the journey to know the truths of who we are, what we carry and the worlds in which we travel.
