Creativity and Imbalance: 5 Things To Expect
In the energy science model the mind and body are intimately spliced...you cannot separate them What happens in the mind, happens in the body....and what happens in the body, happens in the mind If you have a thought, the physical body hears it The thought of "I'm scared" may be subconscious but the body experiences the fear nonetheless If the body is injured, the mind goes into fear about survival even if it's a minor injury All one has to do is reflect on your experiences as a child or watch children to realize this intimate connection
Imbalance and the Mind
In the energy science of Ayurveda if the qualities of foods, the environment(hot day), or experiences(anger) create imbalance in the body it creates imbalance in the mind At times the imbalance may begin in the mind over the body but the effect is nonetheless the same
So how does this imbalance affect our mental function? The answer lies in the common energy science phrase, "It depends"
It depends on the qualities that are out of whack For example, the imbalance of the Vata qualities of cold, light, mobile, dry, rough, subtle, clear will look different in the mind than the Kapha imbalance of qualities like heavy, slow/dull, cool, slimy/smooth, gross, sticky, and liquid Can you picture these differences and how they would impact a mind....a light anxious mind versus a heavy slow/dull depressed inactive mind
It's important to point out here that in the present moment...right here and now...we can think our mental functioning is pretty good But everything is relative to what we have previously experienced So if our mental function improves we can look back and see the difference
Emergence of Creativity With Clearance of Imbalance
When therapies are done to the physical body, they have a direct impact by what I've said earlier about what happens in the mind When one addresses the qualitative imbalances in the mindbody there is improved mind function and one can expect to see relatively speaking(as above) that there is more clarity about how we mentally task
Creativity When this happens we begin automatically entertaining different ways of doing things It no longer becomes "my way or the highway" Rigidity is lessened and there is less control about seeing another's or your own way of doing things
Attention span You're able to stay on task without wanting to get up and leave because you're bored
Memory retrieval You begin remembering things you couldn't have ever thought you would remember
Balance is something worthy of everyone to strive to achieve There are so many valuable things that occur that make life more fun and enjoyable
Intuition As the intuitive sense grows it becomes normal part of the day Someone asks you to water their lawn while they're gone on vacation and you don't because you sense that it will rain And you're right!...it rains while they're gone
Learning ability As imbalances clear there is better clarity of the mind and with that comes the ability to pick up tasks more quickly
There are so many benefits of clearing imbalances that make life more fun and enjoyable You think you're having fun now....just wait and see Best DB

Fear of Not Having Enough
Scarcity mentality(a frame of reference, a state of the mind having nothing to do with reality)
The origin of the word scarcity for me is scare + ity implies a state of fear Scare comes from the root skirra meaning to frighten But fear of what? The answer: Not having enough(of anything)
We live currently in one of the most abundant civilizations on the planet yet we live nutritonally in scarcity This observation is predicated on obsession with overeating and buying what we don't need in terms of food and material goods We force food because we fear we won't have enough, perhaps from our parents who lived through the depression
If we don't get enough, something terribe is going to happen And the real danger is that if we feel a certain flavor of fear, we will invariably push that fear onto our kids energetically
I think most will agree that kids are very in tune They sense many things that we as adults gloss over And it is in this setting that children are learning how to do life They are like energy sponges picking up every nuance they observe with all five senses This may not appear to be the case due to their communication abilities but we shouldn't let that deceive us
If we recognize that we are operating from a scarcity mentality that is a huge step in stopping some rather unhealthy eating behaviors
Among many things it does the following:
Reduces the chances that we as parents will force food at our children
Helps with overeating
Helps with overbuying
Helps with fasting which helps with digestive fire
Can you see where scarcity plays a role in eating patterns? Can you see how that might play a role in creating childhood habits? Have you seen this play out in your family?

Neural Health and Nutrition
Most matter field science has looked at the nervous system as a fixed physiologic and anatomic structure. But that concept is being challenged with a new concept called neuroplasticity. Now researchers are witnessing people who have had strokes and paralysis who are able to recover some function and in one reported case complete recovery.
Now another concept is beginning to emerge to challenge another medical sacred cow. That genetic expression is a fixed, unchanging and unyielding blueprint. In a journal article in September 2005, Dr Dean Ornish reported that patients with prostate cancer changed their genetic expression to tumor by altering their nutrition. Not only did their genetic expression turn off repressor genes but turned on important genes to combat tumor. Furthermore these patients increased their T killer cell response to tumor cells eight fold.
So a new biological concept is potentially emerging-genetic plasticity. And the remarkable cause of this genetic shifiting event was a change in nutrition!!
This molecular evaluation points to what the energy medical sciences have held for thousands of years. That one of the main pillars to health is nutrition and they built elaborate sophisticated systems around nutrition. This means not just what we eat but when we eat, where we eat, how we eat and why we eat. That is the interrogatories of eating.
This concept of genetic plasticity is just one more reason why we need to take a very hard look at how we deal with nutrition. And the energy medical sciences can give guidance to the matter field medical sciences as practiced today.

An Understanding of Optimal Health: An Energy Science Perspective
There have been books recently written about the concept of optimal health Weil in his title says you can get optimal health in just 8 weeks which I find frankly deceitful In the 90's Chopra in his initial offerings talked about Perfect Health but in reality was talking about the same thing But unfortunately as health consumers in the 21st century optimal health occurs for very few on the planet, clearly less than 1% of the present population
Optimal Health From an Energy Science Viewpoint
You see, if a person is overweight and loses the weight, he or she is said to be healthier than they were when they were overweight From a measurement or matter science point of view that is indeed the case
But from an energy science perspective the same imbalance that created the overweight condition is still present explaining the observed high rate of gaining the weight back again The imbalance has not been corrected
From an energy science or qualittative view health moves from gross(overweight) to a more refined subtle energy state(normal weight) So the journey to health requires a refined process moving from gross observable levels to more subtle levels
New Definition of Health
The energy science of Ayurveda has a definition of health:
One who is established in witnessing, whose energy patterns
are in balance, whose appetite is balanced, whose tissues are
functioning normally, whose wastes are eliminated properly,
and whose self, mind, and senses remain full of bliss
is called a healthy person
You can see by this definition that the energy science requires much more to say that optimal health is possible......not to say that it cannot happen but that it requires work on our part to reach this state
One can see also that it requires movement from the gross measurable areas to the more subtle realms Unfortunately very few people want to move in this direction today simply because it requires work, dedication,and perseverance We live in the dark ages and our thinking has lost clarity and is dark itself
And of course there is denial and laying off on the challenge with some saying life is as good as it's going to get But let's not fool and delude ourselves into a passive state of saying "Everything's just great!" Because it isn't

Bile and Motor Oil: Conservative Management of Small Gallbladder Stones
The gallbladder is a storage container for bile that is produced by the liver The formed bile fluid reaches the gallbladder through a series of liver ducts or channels and then stored until needed for digestion,specifically of fats in the duodenum If substances in the bile fluid reach saturation levels in the bile fluid, then these substances can fall out of the bile solution and collect as debris in the gallbladder If this debris becomes large enough in volume it can coalesce into small stones usually <5mm At times the debris and small stones can become much larger stones Ultrasound is the way you typically find out if gallstones are present
One of the suggested ways to manage small gallbladder stone collection is with a liver flush As the name implies the liver's biliary system is "flushed" of the old bile in the system and, oh by the way, the sediment and small stones that happen to be in biliary fluid
The Biliary Flush
In the early am take 8oz(1 cup) of olive oil mixed with 4oz of lime juice, 1 clove chopped garlic, and pinch of cayenne pepper
This combination of these ingredients when entering into the duodenum sets off a mass contraction of the liver's biliary tree as well as the gallbladder itself leading to the forceful evacuation of the gallbladder fluid(bile) along with debris and small stones as well
Replacing Old Motor Oil
Another conservative management of small stones and gallbladder debris is the use of soluble fiber The fiber helps bind the bile in the small bowel and aids in the elimination of it from the body If the bile is not eliminated it is recycled and arrives back in liver portal circulation This constant recycling doesn't allow for new fresh bile to circulate through the liver's biliary system(the old bile will have higher levels of concentrated materials that would predispose to greater chances of debris falling out of the bile solution)
So to clear your old bile or motor oil and get some fresh oil circulating the use of soluble fiber is helpful If you want to see how soluble fiber works in the GI tract add some water to psyllium and watch is swell into a gel This is what traps the old bile in the gut
Sources of soluble fiber include oatmeal, oat cereal, lentils, apples, oranges, pears, oat bran, strawberries, nuts, flaxseeds, beans, dried peas, blueberries, psyllium, cucumbers, celery, and carrots Here's a good link for learning more about dietary fiber
To Health as a Skill DB
The above discussed treatments should be discussed with your doctor to see if these treatments are right for you For example if your stones are large then a liver flush might send a large stone down the common bile duct that could get lodged and become obstructing producing pain and possible surgical intervention Or if your gallbladder has signs of chronic disease with scar then this kind of treatment again may not be a good choice
