Being well is everyone's dream.  People work hard saving money so they can one day spend it on traveling the world, seeing new things, doing things they didn't have time to do while working so hard. By the time they have the money... their health is gone... and there goes their money.

Some people are still young but not well. They are looking for an answer to their health issues. No one can heal you, only YOU can heal yourself.

I don’t claim to have any answers. No one does. But I will share few things I’ve learned and maybe we could follow some simple nature rules be a bit healthier than we are.

I've spent many hours  researching health, foods, diets of different countries and different indigenous tribes, so I could learn what it is that kept certain people strong and healthy while others died early. Well of course its more complicated than that. Yet what I see is that clean air, clean, simple food, clean water can make us much healthier.

We could say that healing begins within... excepting the way the world is and the way we are and the way we function.  Embracing everything that comes our way as "Oh, ok this is how it is and I will move on." You have the healing capacity to heal yourself. Life has healing, sometimes we need to get out of the way to heal. Stop fixing oneself and others, but wait, watch and see. Become aware of ones body. Aware where the pain is, what’s bothering and hurting. We can not interfere with nature trying to heal us, we can work with it but not against it.

Life is not about worrying about health but rather seeing that we need health to experience life.  If you think about it that way than you can see that when you live in the moment enjoying what you got then you begin to see ways to continue living in good health.

After studying cultures that lived off the land and studying tribes that followed herds,  I've learned that people ate what was available to them at the time and moment.  They didn't rely on buying their food, instead they relied on their own garden, or hunting and gathering plants on the land where they were at, They ate food that was available in that region.  Meats too were indigenous for that region like sheep, birds, horses, or deer.  I am not saying now that we should all move to the country or live like our ancestors lived.  It’s not for everyone and I am glad that people out there who love the land and love farming and ranching the healthy way.

Another important thing is If we could learn to listen to our bodies and become conscious of what we are putting in and on our bodies we could slowly heal ourselves.  It's not as easy to do it though.  It's discipline and practice day in and day out. The main thing is to wake up our immune system that got too comfortable and fell asleep.

The best foods for most of us are indigenous foods.  Foods that our ancestors ate.  I am talking about like thousands years back. As we know it take hundreds of years for a gene to adapt and change.

We need to also remember that organic doesn't mean much.  If it's organic it could be still watered by dirty water and grown in a nutrient deficient soil.  One of my favorite places to shop is farmers markets and I look for vendors that sell heirloom and those who take great care re-mineralizing their soil. Now days we have internet and you can find food on eatwild.com or localharvest.org. Heirloom means: "A cultivar of a vegetable or fruit that is open-pollinated and is not grown widely for commercial purposes. An heirloom often exhibits a distinctive characteristic such as superior flavor or unusual coloration." Dictionary by Farlex.

Surgery and pills even supplements will NOT get rid of THE PROBLEM; the cause will remain unchanged until we make certain steps. Steps, like changing what we eat, start moving more, setting our attention on more important things and so on. Being and staying healthy will require some discipline and work.

We need to remember that each body works differently so it might need a different style of eating, a different combination of foods, minerals, vitamins, exercises, change of sleep and eating habits.   

 To get well will require your desire to change and work at changing what you've been doing so far, the things that keep you unwell.  If we observe nature everything in nature works hard to become and get where it need to get.  Plant world has to overcome storms, rain, snow, ice, pollution to become a flower or a tree or a bush....  They just keep on growing toward the sun no matter what.

Today we are bombarded from every direction about health, diet, life, relationships... it's really hard to see what has some truth and what is just a plain lie.  The best rule for me is to think that everything I read has very little truth, this gives me room to explore and be open minded.  The best way of course is to experiment and listen to your body. Controlling your life and health is illness of itself. Letting go, and letting be and being guided by life itself is how we will find healing.

If we could just forget and let go of everything we know and unite with creation and Creator we could learn how to be well again.  Letting go sounds scary but until we let go we can't produce anything new.  By studying, reading and listening to our bodies we can gain new insight in to what our body and soul needs the most.

Change must begin with clarity of where you are... precision, exactness, all of which you and I have been trying to avoid. Sophie Maven
