You Are the Ocean

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. — Rumi

This is one of my favorite beaches. It is offshore from Nassau on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. When I can’t be here I visit in my mind’s eye in meditation.  The water is warm and inviting, and the sea breezes are so fresh and alive. Walking here brings a renewed sense of peace and ease. Agendas fall away, and as the water underfoot allows my feet to settle into the sand I know myself to be at home, to be at one with sand and sea.

Human bodies are made of earth, water, air, and fire.

Our bones are piezo electric crystal, our blood is salty like the ocean, our lungs continually take in and release air. Within milliseconds the oxygen in that air reaches and nourishes our cells. 

 🔥Oh yes, and there is fire in the belly that digests our food, as well as in the tiny power packs in each cell, the mighty mitochondria. They provide power for everything we do, say, think, and create.

I invite you to join me here if you wish, to feel this wet sand and breathe in the gentle air, to allow this place to fulfill the longing in you.  

Come and sing your heart open with me.

You can find yourself here. . .

 

 

 

Quick – Heal My Pancreas!

What does it take for the body to heal? Sometimes we find out that a particular organ or system in the body needs help. A disease has been diagnosed, or testing shows there is an imbalance happening, or perhaps a tumor has been found. What to do?

Certainly we consult with our team members: our doctors, nutritionists,  naturopaths, energy practitioners, and even our friends. What can I do the heal my pancreas? Can you help?

As energy practitioners we have observed that healing needs to go deep in order for good results to follow. For instance, the pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach that secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum. Also in the pancreas are the islets of Langerhans, which secrete the hormones insulin and glucagon into the blood. So in each case it is important to determine which cellular action is being impaired.  Knowing that helps to determine the target for energy work.

Some knowledge of cell types, inner cellular structures, and function is useful in guiding the process. Our bodies and the cells that make up those bodies have vast capabilities and intelligence. Cells perform countless actions every second to keep us alive and kicking, and sometimes they need extra assistance. Paying attention to what the body is saying, and taking appropriate action is vital to living a healthy, happy life. Having a team approach in service of that goal is a good idea too.

We will be teaching in The Bahamas (someone has to do it) in March. If that draws you please join us. It will be a delight to meet you and your pancreas on Paradise Island.
