This morning it hit me! It just dawned on me, as I was waking up, that I have been referring to my symptoms as “mine.” When I talked about what was happening to me, I would refer to it as “my allergies.” I had been breaking one of my most fundamental rules in healing. Taking on symptoms as if they were mine. Of course these allergies weren’t leaving me! I was telling them I owned them; that they belonged to me. Well, they are no longer mine and I am releasing all the symptoms in this healing process.
In order for a disease to leave us, we must let it go. We can’t refer to it as “my MS or my allergies.” It is simply a disease that is temporarily manifesting in our bodies. Ayurveda addresses symptoms and looks at the body as a wholistic entity. It identifies what imbalance there is in the body, which is creating a disease. By addressing the cause, the system as a whole comes in to balance. The symptoms are a gage to identify the imbalances. In this way the process of homeostasis can be reached for a healthy and vibrant body.
Namaste-the ability to heal in me, is the same ability to heal in you.
