...If you are reading here, that's probably an annoying question...but it's one I've asked myself again and again.

I've even gone as far as to theorize that a person could simply name the food or supplement desired, and get some benefit or effect from the thought. (???)

I mean, our whole digestive system is triggered by the anticipation of eating a food that is on the plate before us...so why not imagine what we prefer? ...Or, why not project 'wholesome nutrition' or other nice words upon it?

Lots of people have been 'blessing' their food for a long, long time. They must have good reason for doing so.


In 'cleansing' I've been looking at what I have 'swallowed' and 'accepted' over the years.

Here on CureZone there seems to be a 'physical', 'actually DO IT' mindset...that not only appears to work, but tends to lead a person to other effective protocols and substances...a new 'lifestyle'.

But there is a kind of despair in this. It feels awful to think of all those who don't, or won't, ever take some flax seed and kelp with their meals. And those who buy into half-baked advertising of foods and other things supposed to be 'helpful', or popular.

Despair builds when we realize we that we might have to inspect every aspect of, say, every food we consume...right back to the history of the soil it was grown in.

Or, do we?

Emoto suggests that we simply say nice words to water, to change its character. Appreciation seems to be key here, somehow altering the molecular structure to a more harmonious form. Although I haven't yet seen any studies which 'prove' it is safe to drink 'blessed' polluted water. Does the thought that such water might be dangerous, turn it back to its disharmonious state? I don't know. I simply appreciate what I have in front of me...just in case.

I won't go into all the in's and out's of all my thinking over the years, but I did want to say that it has recently dawned on me that all or most of my ailments and concerns seem to relate to things I 'swallowed' (accepted) long ago, particularly when I was very young...especially things of a very personal nature.

One 'for instance'...

...When I was 11 or 12, I was coming down the basement steps barefoot, and a young man said to my father, "Aren't feet ugly?"

Cringe!

Guess what my feet look like to me nowadays!

I 'swallowed' that remark, eventually deciding that some people have beautiful feet, and some don't...namely, me.

There were other incidents, way back to less than 5 years old, that show up as 'ailments' sixty-something years later.

Are these simply 'constrictions' to the flow of energy in my aura? I know they have shaped my view of myself over many other experiences and years. Did they affect my posture? ...The function of my organs? ...My actions and interactions with friends and loved ones?

And, most of all, can they be freed? Can I resolve them to become the best person I could have been?

You know me...I think they can be. As a matter of fact, that's what I have been doing...'releasing' constrictions...in a blanket fashion. "I release all constrictions to full well-being and happy memories throughout my whole life."

I might as well re-create the whole thing, through imagination, while I'm at it...just in case it is possible to do so.

:D


Appreciation is what I have hoped for over (mumble) decades...that and understanding...thinking that was what I was offering.

And it comes to me that we all pick up unhappy decisions about ourselves, and others, especially when we are very young. We don't see ourselves as others see us. Nor do we see others as they really are.

As we grow everything is new to us, therefore, 100% true...until we decide better.

Meanwhile, we 'swallow' stuff until more experience, and a lot of mind-searching, teach us differently.

Or, until we get the hang of it, and 'release' and renew stuff at one fell swoop.

One way to do this is to take a step back from the details...

...At age 9 or 10, my son took to calling other kids 'jerk-offs'.

One day I quietly asked him if he knew the meaning of the term. He answered, "No," somewhat guardedly.

"It means 'playing with yourself'," I told him, softly. He said nothing further, though I knew I'd hit home...and I never heard him say it, or other things, again.

(I had never said anything about 'playing with oneself' to him, before...but my son was a shy boy, who was also thrown into leadership positions, so he figured out his own way...happily, it was one I liked. We do some things remarkably right in raising our babes.)

His father and I took him to see an early Eddie Murphy movie as our boy was entering his teens. I didn't realize that he must have squirmed a bit at all the 'f' words. As we were leaving the theater I remarked that Eddie was a good actor...but that the 'f' word was unnecessary in that show...it was a good movie already...and that I had enjoyed it.

My boy's face was something to behold! He was visibly surprised that I liked it.

I learned that he had more regard for my opinion than I had ever thought.

My biggest mistake with him was that I took the details of our day to day life too seriously.

If he made a mistake I was ever ready to correct him, and sometimes not very nicely.

By the time I first saw him with his own baby, I was able to be quiet about how I thought things 'ought' to be done, and tell them both, individually, just before we left, that they were doing a great job.

...Which they were.

You should have seen their faces then!


Standing up too close to every detail, ever ready to judge, was the biggest mistake of my life...especially when the doer was me!

And we forget the incidents when we were little, where we were convinced there was something 'bad' about ourselves.

Cleansing, and overcoming ailments, I have remembered some. And they point to the problems I have today.

I find I don't really have to remember much about those events...that I can sweep them all away with a smile, and by thinking about the way I would have preferred. I can re-create any event I wish, or the ones I got 'stuck' on. It feels great!

And, 'forgiveness' is so much easier when one has re-created the sore spot, anyway.

For me, I have answered my own question...no, it isn't all 'physical'. In fact, there may be no 'physical' to it at all!

There is only 'how we feel about it'...what we accept.

I accept the idea that we all go to wholeness, wellness, and fulfillment. Why not sooner, than later? [Edit: I mean while living!]

There is no time or distance, in any case.
