A Car Sale and Nutrition: A Lesson of Letting Go
Mary came in today for her bladder symptoms that on workup were related to a nonbacterial inflammatory condition that is common in urology called interstitial cystitis
Getting Better With Energy Science Nutrition
When I had last seen her she had predictably getting better with the nutritional PItta Kapha format along with using aloe
But all of Mary's symptoms had come back in the last couple of days
At times symptoms can worsen due to release When one stops the aggravating foods carrying the hot quality, that same quality which is in abundance in the physiology is naturally released and may cause the exacerbation in symptoms that she was experiencing
And although this release from an energy science view made perfect sense there was something that was seemed unclear to Mary
Through The Eyes of Grandma
Her mom who had been accompanying Mary to her appointments then came out of her silence
"What would you suggest she do about her daughter's car purchase?" she interjected "Do you think she can take it back?"
Taken aback, I learned that the recently employed 23 year old daughter/granddaughter had been roped into a poor car deal and had taken possession of the car
"Do you think she can get out of it?" a now very upset Mary asked
"It doesn't seem likely She signed the papers and has driven the car off the lot"
Mary then went off on a Pitta rant about how her daughter had been duped and coerced into a poorly thought out car purchase
"Unfortunately you're not in control here" I said sympathetically "It's one of those life lessons that we all have to go through You can't be her protector even though you'd like to be there for her"
The Mindbody Connection
"I'm so frustrated with that man who took advantage of my young daughter How can he sleep at night? I've been so upset the last couple of days All of my acid indigestion and bladder symptoms are back "
"Oh, there's the answer It totally fits" I said to myself
"Mary, your mind is exhibiting the hot quality in terms of anger, frustration, and vindictive thoughts and the body is intimately involved with those thoughts because mind is in every cell of your body Each cell of the body is listening" A clear expression of the mindbody concept
"Every time you have those thoughts of frustration, just say 'Not now" and move on I know that can be hard but it's the way you'll calm the body and it's present dis-ease"
Letting Go
"Since every cell in your energy field has mind, that is, an intimate splicing of mind and body, the cells cannot help but have the experience that they are having"
"By letting go of needing to control the situation and letting go of your frustration, the cells of your body can let go of this build up of the hot quality that is bringing about the recurrence of your symptoms"
As a matter of fact anytime we decide on the part of healing to let go, the mindbody can release and get back slowly but surely to its state of balance and equilibrium
"It takes time Mary but by doing the nutritional work and aloe and becoming a witness to upsetting thought patterns you'll be really on the road to taking care of this problem"
Until next time To health as a Skill Love DrBill
