I have never had much interest in learning about/caring for my personal biology although I love watching and reading about evolution, general biology and nature. However a call to "Spirit" help me sort out what was a "lack of honouring my body temple" (increases in weight, aches, tiredness, ...) has recently led my body to seriously giving me a walk up call to become aware of it.  But it also found me finally stop judging over-weight people and to experiencing crystal help for physical problems.

I was frustrated at the weight gain over the previous six months as over the past 7 years I had really become aware and released emotional patterns and hereditary bad habits that had caused me to eat for "comfort", to ease shock and pain, for boredom, and for reward. It should have been decreasing as I more happily "walked on the planet" these days with great relationship all around me and within me.

Allergies increased dramatically needing me to spend time (and overcome much resistance) to what my body couldn't tolerate / process. I was not surprised to uncover I was gluten and lactose intolerant which got worse whenever I was stressed/overwhelmed (read "out of balance" article of last newsletter) as I'd seen this over the years.

But I was too resistant to really do much until a) I felt really silly acting like a 3 year old in front of my doctor and husband having a tantrum because I didn't want to give up ice cream, cake and bread weight when the Doctor was telling me I had to let go carbohydrates for weight lose and to settle the digestion. And b) the digestion just got so painful and I had a permanently running nose. And it has been getting worse because the Doctor said, the times I gave it all up the body was happy and then when I went back to bingeing on these things the body was overwhelmed and screaming at me to stop.

And when infection was ruled out, I had to lift myself more into observation of what went in the mouth and what would result. And I found the last major source of inflammation of my body - green leafy vegetables and lettuce - believe it or not! Until then I blamed the sauces, the lack of washing, the poor quality water ... but nope it was the leaves themselves!! 

It was then in the past week I saw the link between body spending weeks in real pain and discomfort and the fact that I was getting more irritated and faster at being emotionally inflamed at any and all things. No fun for Graham. Gee whizz: body is inflamed through food irritation - I am emotionally inflamed and irritated.... Mind-Body-Emotions link discovered at a new level!

OK I can realise when I am being stupid and blaming Graham, the neighbours, the government, ... that these projections of "fault" were not going to get me any where.

Step 1. Must make time to do mediation and energy healing on self - ahhh feeling relief and more in control again.

Step 2. Look for crystals to help emotionally / spiritually. Guided each day to move between different pendants. Tiger Eye to ease frustration, and irritability. Amber so I am less sensitive and fell more protected. Empowerlite (new pendant) so can feel empowered in the times I am calmer. During this time strong spiritual stones like Azetulite and Moldavite were off the agenda as they would only inflame the out of balance situation.

Step 3. See if crystals can really help physically and tried Hematite ring for physical pain of shoulder muscles (and gee it does really work!!!).

So final thoughts about this all?

If you ask for "Help from the Universe", don't be surprised in these times it will come it a means to create drama to get you to wake up and take action. And boy will you learn a lot when you stop being the victim.

Secondly remember crystals can help ease the symptoms and open you to help which allows you to get to the source of the problem and release the triggers. Crystals don't cure a problem - only you can do that.

And finally, if you have been critical of over weight people as I was, this article hopefully helps you to leave them to their business. That there is so much more going on behind their story than you can possibly know or understand. I am now being tested more deeply to check what hormones, vitamins are out of whack contributing to the need to browse. My body doesn't accept vitamins in tablets due to digestion issues ... so its a "what came first - the chicken and the egg" story.
