Strong Digestive Fire and the Holidays
So the holiday season is upon us opening up with Tday. Overeating may occur and poor food combinations abound. Disruptive eating schedules are often present due to groups of us getting together and trying to make our get togethers synchronize. And foods that don't harmonize with our mindbody constitutions get ingested because we don't want to make Aunt Mary feel bad about what she puts on the table.
How do we get through the holiday seasons without energetic imbalance? More importantly how do we get through life by reducing our risk to energetic injury?
The answer is digestive fire that is collective term for all the digestive enzyme systems from the mouth to the lower colon. If we have a strong rich digestive fire we will burn through our mistakes. Just like we learned when we were kids, having a strong campfire will burn up even wet logs. But if our fire is weak then those same wet logs will put the fire out.
The cultivation of a rich digestive fire begins by eating appropriately for your mindbody constitution and avoiding poor food combining. Eating your biggest meal at noon and not using ice are lifestyle choices that improve digestive fire. A collection of spices that enhance digestive fire will also increase the vibrational frequencies that is available at foodsheal.com
In this way we will more than enjoy the holidays. We'll get healthier as well To good health DrBill

Stagnant Energy
In the matter science medical practice the flow of fluids in the body is a well known clinical condition If stagnation of urine occurs due to a urinary stone, pain is the result due to the distention of the renal capsule If a bowel obstruction occurs then the abdomen swells due to gas in the bowel above the obstruction
However from an energy science view stagnation of energy flow through the body can result in changes and symptoms that are not that well understood by today's matter science clinicians
Varicose veins
As we make unconscious choices through our lives we gather energy blockages that eventually need to be dealt with But these blockages are great lessons if we are willing to learn from them And they can become severe and cause problems if we don't head them off
Energy that gets stuck and cannot move through a part of the mindbody The sign of stagnant energy in the mindbody is loss of the ability to feel because this is how we are aware of the energy mindbody in the first place
Whenever there is not the free flow of energy in the body such as in varicose veins there is a tendency for us to become myopic and just focus on the veins themselves In actuality the loss of flow through the veins of the lower extremities occurs in the pelvis not in the legs From an energy science perspective the energy stagnates in the pelvis and does not allow the free flow of blood out of the legs This can be related to blocked flow at the level of the hips which impedes blood return to the heart. The hips become rigid, inflexible and tight such that energy flow through and around the hip joint is impeded.
As the energy flow in the skin becomes reduced the capillaries become engorged and the small veins coming from them become tortuous and superficial. This is related to the poor outflow from the leg resulting from decreased venous outflow from the leg.
The energy can become so slow in flow that the venous support impedes blood flow even more poorly and the legs begin to become boggy and swollen The important aspect of this clinical scenario is the loss of sensation of energy flow Typically when energy is flowing normally, we can sense the subtle movement of energy noted as tingling lightness of the skin When severe stagnation occurs as in varicosities of the lower extremities, there is such heaviness that such sensations are not present
The loss of the ability to feel the legs and the movement of energy is serious business Of course, the person involved with the varicosities is usually not aware of his/her energy mindbody anyway, but if they are able to deal with the problem the return of sensation becomes quite obvious as the swelling and skin changes resolve
Soooo... striving to be sensately aware of the mindbody's changes in sensation is important because we can take corrective measures that will minimize the damage before all the severe debilities show up
This is the power of prevention that comes directly from sensing the mindbody's energy field before dis-ease progresses

The Programmed Response Around Food: What To Do About It
Foods have the potential of making us feel bad and no one wants to feel bad
So when we find that certain foods make us feel poorly then it's very easy to say, "No thanks." Then why is it that we make choices that make us feel poorly I believe it's because we have lost at some level our awareness or consciousness around nutrition.
We are all aware to some degree, but there are levels of awareness Dogs and cats are aware but not conscious To be conscious means that there can be many responses If we scare an animal by coming up behind him and say "Boo", we will see an automatic response It is a preprogrammed response that the animal cannot help but do He has no choice We as conscious beings have choice about the responses that we have
If someone comes up behind you and does the same "Boo", you could have many choices of response such as fear like the animal might occur but curiosity, whimsicalness or flattery might occur The point is, as humans with consciousness, we are not preprogrammed We have many ways of responding to our environment
So it is with nutrition. Due to our consciousness we have many different ways of interacting with the foods that we eat or altering the habits that we create around the nutritional process We have choice There are many reasons why we live out our habits, among them is the belief that habits are here to stay
But habits are nothing more than repeated thought patterns and can be disrupted if we root them out At the energy field level the use of intention planted at a deep level of stillness can begin to uproot these repeated thought patterns using yoga nidra, a form of meditation
Then the nutritional tools that can help us gain greater health will become a reality

The Value of Regimen
An energy field viewpoint states that we are part of a greater energy field. That our personal energy field is part of a greater energy field. The metaphor often used is that the personal energy field is like a wave on the ocean and the ocean is the greater energy field. Microcosm and macrocosm.
Being Part of Nature
The import of this view is that we are part of Nature-that what happens in Nature effects us and vice versa-what happens in our mindbody energy fields effects Nature. This translates that if we are out of balance with respect to our health then we lead Nature to be out of balance. So if we see the planet getting sick and expressing imbalance, then we know that we ourselves are sick.
The corollary to this relationship with Nature is that if we are to become more balanced then it is health promoting for us live in harmony with Nature since she is in balance all the time.
Regimen Helps With Health
So a healthy lifestyle is to get up with Nature(6-7am) and go to bed with Nature(9:30-10:30pm) and eating our biggest meal at noon when Nature is taking its biggest meal. If we are so inclined doing something in the am and pm to slow down the energy mindbody is also conducive to a healthy lifestyle such as meditation or yoga asana practice.
Just observing this type of schedule can be very effective in promoting health. The best DrBill
