5 Jul 2011As I walked past a billboard at a chemist store last week, I noticed a sign ‘get rid of your heart burn fast and for good!’
I realised how sold we are on quick fix relief for our health and wellness.
But is the quick relief approach actually making our health conditions worse?
When you think about it, the indigestion is telling you something; about either about your food or your body state.
So, it is a good sign – because there is a sign!
It is telling you something! And it is only you who can listen, discover and learn what that is.
Indigestion signs are quite loud and distinguishable – you do notice them – unlike many other signs and symptoms that are very subtle and require stillness and silence to really hear and feel.
So it seems in our quest to live life without pain or discomfort, the quick relief is tempting.
But relief is not solution or cure or long term success.
Covering up what your body communicates may be masking valuable information.
The struggle that caused indigestion will remain if nothing in your lifestyle changes.
And the struggle in time may lead to bigger concerns than indigestion.
So it is refreshing that the emerging healing and wellness directions address this.
The more abstract and non conventional ways to tackle our day to day health challenges (virulent viruses, bacteria, cancers, heart disease and other illnesses) are moving beyond the rigid walls of treatment we have become familiar with.
It’s not unusual to hear about benefits linked with silk worms and heart disease, snails and breast cancer and colostrums and the immune system.
So I hope you manage to ‘tune in’ with an open heart and imagination to some of the amazing findings emerging at this time.
Remember it is out of heart and imagination that many of these new findings are in fact born!
So good luck as you ‘loosen the blinkers’ become more curious and connect with your most powerful source of guidance – yourself….
