How To Use Energy Medicine For Healing Digestion
It’s one of the most common health challenges that causes clients to reach out to me for help. They’re tired of feeling out of control. They’ve tried so many approaches–prescriptions drugs, over-the-counter medications, and elimination diets. And they’re still wondering…what’s it going to take to heal their gut issues and unlock the missing piece?
It’s not surprising. If you don’t uncover the core cause of your symptoms, everything you do is a temporary fix. I want you to know that healing is easier than you think when you have the right tools and information.
While I consider every single client a unique individual–when it comes to healing solutions, there are some common principles that can be applied to everyone searching for a solution to restore healthy digestion.
First, let’s look quickly at the biggest contributors to the problem and then the solution.
Energetically speaking, our digestion is metaphor for “life”.
So having less than optimal digestion can be the result of not just what we eat, assimilate and digest, but also an energetic, emotional imbalance within our solar plexus.
Think about it…if science and nutrition were the only key to a healthy “gut”, with all the technological and scientific breakthroughs, why are so many people taking medications and still suffering?
It makes sense that there’s more going on here than just “Eat this, don’ eat that.”
Looking at the center of our digestion…
Appropriately named the solar plexus, it is the seat of our light and fire, our solar/sun energy. When we feel good, happy, filled with joy…we have an exuberant and sunny disposition. And as a result our solar plexus and digestion respond in kind.
But, of late, our environment and mental fears of safety and security take away that sunny disposition and the energy constrictions cause our cells to literally hold our “issues in the tissues”. As a result, our fears, anxiety, and emotions get stored in our solar plexus and digestive organs.
We may hold anger in our liver/gallbladder. Or eventually have blood sugar problems because our perception of life being “anything but sweet” has resulted in an over-dependence on sugary carbs to compensate.
In a perfect world, our digestion positively mirrors life...
We take in nourishment (day to day events and information), chew it up and break it down into smaller pieces, so we can swallow it…and break it down even further, ( passes to the stomach and intestines).
There in the stomach, if all goes well, we extract the nutrients that are beneficial to us, (people, relationships, jobs, lifestyle, interests, etc.) and allow them to be distributed into our cells from the intestines. The final process, we get rid of the waste, (what no longer serves to nourish our body and soul).
To heal digestive issues it is imperative to look at the physical body through this process.
Where exactly, is the breakdown occurring? If one suffers with anemia and low energy…we can consider a break down in the absorption and assimilation of iron, providing the intake of iron is sufficient.
The first question to ask would be…
What area of their life are you having trouble assimilating people or information. What is not getting processed? Are you holding onto to something or someone that you just can’t “absorb”? That is, some area that isn’t right for you, but you fear the result of letting go?
You get the idea?
Or bodies know how to be healthy. (Think about it. Your heart beats without you having to do anything.) Our bodies are not designed to break down or turn against us, (no matter what the doctors and pharmaceutical companies want us to believe). Their mass marketing hits directly in the solar plexus…..taking away our power to believe that we can heal ourselves.
In the case of reflux or GERD, I tend to ask…what in their life is too much to swallow? What (or who) are you having to choke down? All the Prilosec in the world can’t change the relationship that needs healing. 🙂
Irritable Bowel Syndrome….has a similar cause. Literally, what events occurred, repeatedly over time, to cause an irritation in this person’s confidence, self-worth, and self -esteem?
Okay, once you have a better idea of the root cause, how do you heal it?
I always recommend going straight to the source with healing the emotional cause and the fear. It’s likely causing anxiety disorder too, which only makes things worse. And I also recommend using an energetic approach and Ayurvedic medicine for physical symptoms while working on the emotional. The fact is, there is a physical imbalance and discomfort caused from the mental and emotional imbalance.
Ayurveda is the world’s oldest system of healing and medicine that comes from India. As a clinical practitioner, I’ve seen a high success rate for healing digestion when combining this approach with energy medicine.
It takes into account your personal body-mind type, based on the elements of nature. And how they show up in your body and mind. That is, earth, wind, water, air, fire, and ether, (space). Furthermore, it looks at your individual age, lifestyle, and where you live….all aspects needed to balance your unique situation.
Based on all of these factors a trained practitioner can determine what foods and treatments are most appropriate to help you get to the next level of well-being
Your power in healing your digestive problem all lies in your belief that it is possible. Remember, that the cells in our body slough off and die, and are replaced on a consistent basis…providing us a new energetic opportunity for repair and healing.
Are you ready to unlock the missing piece? Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, healing doesn’t have to be hard or take a long time. You have everything you need within to transform your well-being and your life.
