(Spoiler alert: it’s not germs, or other invisible baddies) Why do some people seem to get everything going, while others happily keep on going? Why do some have "iron guts"? And why do some individuals get allergies in the exact same environment that others are totally fine in? We might be tempted to answer, “it’s the immune system”, but the “immune” system is both merely a working theory and a relatively new concept - one that has not been tested and proven over the course of millennia. And in its short existence, many holes and inconsistencies have already been uncovered. What if there was another perspective that covered all aspects of dis-ease - mind, body and soul? A view that: • has persisted for over 5,000 years (some say 8,000... and it may be older still!) • liberates us from the defensive mindset of waging war on disease, preventing “attack”, always keeping an eye out, etc. • trusts the wisdom of our brilliant beings - and the wisdom of Mama Nature • is about living in harmony, both within and without? • reminds us just how powerful we are? Wouldn’t that feel so much better - more easeful, joyous and lighter - than being on constant alert for the next invisible germ or baddie out there? And what about the fact that these invisible “germs and baddies” are actually a vital part of health? They already exist on and in us, to the extent that the number of microbial cells outnumber human cells by an estimated factor of at 10:1 (some sources now suggest that it’s closer to 100:1). In either case, we “humans” are more a community of bacteria and other microbes than anything else. Which then makes me consider - why the obsession with killing off all of the invisible microbes that we ideally live in symbiosis with us? What if health is actually about cultivating harmony with both the world within, and the world without? This is the Chinese Medicine view. In this episode, we look at the causes of disease through the lens of the oldest science in the world: time-tested over centuries - and millions of patients - and delivering powerful clinical results to this day. What makes us sick? • Loss of balance, connection and harmony • Lack, or stagnation, of Qi (charge, life force energy) • Imbalanced Yin Yang, accumulation of Damp, Cold, Blood Stasis, etc. And what can cause these disruptions? • Emotions • Six Heavenly Qi - atmospheric and climatic influences, also called the Six Evils • Disconnection from Nature • “Improper” living: food, movement, routine, habits, sex, thoughts, etc. that don’t support health And what can we do to stay vibrantly well? This lens sees us humans as primarily energetic, electromagnetic beings, and when we cultivate our Qi and our spirit-soul-consciousness, health is the natural result. This is summed up beautifully in the quote from our ancient medical book, the Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine, circa 200CE): ...when the Qi and Shen* are present and sound, no pathogen** can invade a person, even when the cycles of nature are disruptive, and plagues*** are near. Chapter 73: Etiology of Disease Listen for simple ways that we can cultivate these vital aspects of ourselves, for vibrant, radiant health. Radiantly robust health made simple. Our daily habits are the foundation for our health and "immunity". Every moment, meal, drink, thought, habit, etc. can bring us into greater alignment and can charge up our Qi - the life force energy that fuels every aspect of health. This is why I created the Radiant Energy Reset. A gentle, self-guided path of ancient health rituals to cultivate Qi, Yin, Yang and connection - guided by the wisdom of your own body. A real solution for those ready to ditch the fads & feel clear, energised and in control again. Backed by ancient wisdom, not wellness trends.
