I was thinking along these same lines as you have posted here. The best way to move forward with our healing is to listen to how our individual bodies respond to all the internal and external changes taking place.
For example, when I use cayenne pepper or curry spices in my food, I feel better. I recently felt a terrible cold coming on and made a tea from lemon, ginger and cinnamon and woke up the next day with no symptoms. What I think is important is to take the time to learn what is best for each of us and then continue in that direction. I know some eat only raw foods but in the cold weather here, I think having hot soup I make from scratch makes a difference for me.
I also have had some strong thoughts about forgiveness. The balance I need to strike is to forgive others for behavior that is hurtful, working very hard to let go of any resentments and truly forgive them, without having that person prominent in my life.
When I do this, the stress goes away and I can sleep better and function better. We all can find ways that we have behaved badly in the past and made poor choices, so I include myself in the list of people to forgive.
I learn so much from all of you, and wish you continued health and healing,
Ellen |
