Stress - De-stress? That is the question!

Many people are seeking easy health cures instead of doing preventative maintenance on their bodies. They turn to “Alternative” health care. Individuals who have been unsuccessful in treating chronic health issues with conventional medicine have found relief in the “Alternative” health care professions such as massage therapy, iridiology, reflexology, Chinese medicine, etc. Many people are frustrated with prescription drugs and medication that are not providing relief or they are afraid of becoming addicted to the stronger drugs used to control pain.

Why is there a growing trend toward the holistic healing profession? Because it addresses the social, psychological and emotional stressors of today’s society that can contribute to physical symptoms of disease. The holistic approach to healthcare can provide help to clients with weight struggles, low energy, digestive disorders, acne, skin issues, constipation, headaches, food cravings and stress induced illnesses.

Prevention through detoxification means less trips to the medical doctor and more energy to live your life! There is an ancient Chinese proverbs that says; “The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient!”

Be patient about your health. Keep working at strengthening your immune system, detox your body from the chemicals that has poisended it, in the food that we eat to the air that we breathe.

My wife and I have started to walk early in the mornings around the neighborhood that we live in and we love to hear the sounds of nature call to us. Lao Tse wrote over two thousand years ago in China, “NATURE does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished!’ We love to watch the geese fly in formation, hear the songs of the Genny Wren, Mocking Bird, Blue Jays, Sparrows, watch the rabbits hop in and out of the neighbor’s yards.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature…..the assurance that dawn comes after the night and spring after winter. If you want to de-stress from the demands that society places upon your shoulders, learn how to speak to the earth as the Native Americans did and were wise in the ways of the land and nature. Other indigenous groups spoke to the earth and learned it’s secrets of health and well being so why do we have to be different.

Remember: The earth longs to feel your bare feet massage her and the wind longs to play with your hair!”

Life is meant to “ENJOYED!” Just DO IT!
