I have been watching a show lately that my friend turned me onto because of its historical value and tradition. It reminded her of the ways of old, of healing and community. This show 'Outlanders' is set in the 1700's and the main character has time walked from the 1940's back to 1740, her job in her real life is as a Botanist. As a Botanist she knows much about the medicinal value and application of plants and herbs. In the 1740's they call her a Healer and she is much sought after for her knowledge and skills of healing. In one particular episode she is attempting to heal a young boy who has been poisoned by eating a plant he mistook for something else. The Villagers all think he is possesessed and the Priest is in performing an exorcism. In comes the main character who deduces the problem and heals the boy. The Priest is furious, as this is not God's work and she is pretty much called a witch. This got me thinking.... It seems to me that we haven't really left behind our superstitions and fears. Just like then many are truly missing out on the benefits of good energy work and this can include the use of herbs, baths, tinctures and so on. Most of our modern medicine is derived from plant based medicine, in fact old day alchemy made way for modern medicine. In addition much of it is derived from chemicals and as we are seeing isn't doing us much good. I can tell you that as a highly trained Energy Therapist (nearly a deacde of training, much like a Doctor only I work on many dimensions not just the physical) there is much more to healing that than popping a pill. Many conditions such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, skin conditions, headaches and other more serious conditions can and do benefit from good energy work. A properly trained Energy Practitiner will be able to use medical intuitive knowledge, Intuitive knowledge, Psychic abilities and be able to understand what the soul is really wanting and needing. They may well also work with herbology and offer advice in this area too. My point is just because of some age old crusty superstitious beliefs implanted by fear mongering still exists don't hinder your own healing. get curious, do your research, find someone reputable and give alternative medicine a try. What have you got to lose.... Anxiety, depression, suffering, pain etc. What have you got to gain....Peace, equanimity, strength and so much more. Open up and Heal Thyself. Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. Hippocrates |
