Natural Healing Herbs, Part Two
>>> Part One: Natural Healing Herbs
Holistic Healing Herbs, Recovering Health
In holistic healing, herbs can help us to relax. Bus is relaxation a feeling? One could argue that it is the absence of feelings... that when we are fully relaxed, we feel nothing (or everything). Relaxation is the result of a natural harmony. Everything in our bodies is behaving as it should and sensation is at a minimum. Strong feelings or emotions are more associated with tension and stress and when chronic, we call it disease.
Plants are not so sophisticated in their emotional lives. There is a purity with which they behave that cannot be corrupted. This is the value they have in healing. When exposed to flower essences, or herbs, our body remembers this purity and seeks (as does a guitar string to a tuning fork) to express itself in this original uncorrupted manner.
Holistic Healing Herbs, Working Patterns in Nature
The patterns that work in nature are implemented over and over again. Look at the spiral in the Milky Way, in a sea shell, in the hair pattern on the top of our heads. Consciousness, Spirit and Matter work together to form everything there is, exploring what works (harmony, balance) in geometrical patterns and patterns of flow. Plants maintain a purity of flow and when we drink tea or apply a poultice, we are encountering feelings (expression, energy) in a pure form.
Different plants work on different ailments, and consequently correspond to different behavioral structures in the human body. This is why it is important to discover the right herb or herbal formula for your particular health issue.
Plants, Holistic Healing Herbs and Healing
Our health is dependent on the proper balance and functioning of so many internal systems. These systems can be adversely affected by emotional stress and chronic suppression of natural feelings over time. What is today a feeling, is tomorrow a sensation, and later could manifest as physical pain.
Plants cannot be corrupted. They remain pure in their expression of who they are. They are not worried about what anyone thinks. They are not slaves to ideas or plans for success. They are free to be who they are and express themselves accordingly. If we take a cue from their incorruptible health, we learn how important it is to let go, and be ourselves spontaneously.
Impeccable Mother Nature - Holistic Healing Herbs
Our nature is THE nature. We are all a part of the one beautiful eternal possibility. The human body is a miracle of nature. Our bodies are blessed by the beauty and harmony of the whole and its exploration of what is possible.
Let us remember to be grateful for where those patterns emerge and originate, practiced again and again by those kingdoms and species that we often look down upon as being lesser than. Minerals, plants, animals all practice behavioral patterns that show up in our human systems, and there is a purity there that we can too readily compromise and fail to value. Enjoy herbal remedies and pay attention to how and why they work.
