State of Mind Is Crucial In Healing

Nature offers so many healing gifts in the diverse flora that thrives all over the world that pharmaceutical companies often go to the rainforests to harvest them. Sadly, they adulterate the healing flora as they formulate their product.

The developing world mainly relies on nature for remedies and healing. We may see them as less developed or poor but maybe their lack of access to pharmaceuticals is really an advantage for them. Their healing from nature’s herbs and flowers will be real and true where pharmaceuticals only mask symptoms.

PHYTO5 relies almost completely on nature's flora for its unique ingredients abounding with life-enhancing vital energy. 

For any healing to be effective—holistic or conventional medical—another important component must be present. The companion to the medicine, natural or unnatural, is the mind.

As we’ve all experienced, healing or management of disease and physical pain doesn’t solely rely on taking natural remedies, synthetic analogs to nature or other drugs.

Studies show that 18 to 80% of the time, people taking placebos (including fake procedures) completely recover from their condition. This is without adding any other drug, remedy, medical procedure or therapy.

The placebo effect indicates the mind is a principal component in our health, healing, and wellness.

Humankind has evolved long enough to have realized that our thoughts are powerful actors in our human experience. We’ve learned that when we think a thought, we immediately conjure a related emotion or feeling. The more clear and powerful the mind the more new circumstances take shape.

Sometimes the result of our thought is almost immediate. But most of the time a lag time exists between the thought, the emotion, and the manifestation.

This time lag between thought and manifested result actually provides the space for healing to occur. It allows us to realize an error in thought and correct it before an unwanted event results. Of course, this can only occur for those who are aware of the power of their minds and who seek to gain mastery of it.

This time lag is a sort of fail-safe mechanism that does into action by default. This is until we gain greater control of our mind and emotions.

This helps us to see illness or other limitations as potentially constructive experiences. We can emerge from them with a better understanding of ourselves.

Of course, this can only occur for those aware of the power of the mind and for those who work to gain mastery of it.

When it comes to self-healing, our state of mind is crucial.

Our state of mind demonstrates itself in the quality of our thoughts and emotions. Essentially, we either entertain positive thoughts and emotions or negative ones.

Experience shows the positive ones contribute to healing and the negative ones do not. In fact, the negative thoughts and emotions worsen the sickness or condition.

The more we practice dominion over our thoughts and emotions, the more effective creators we become. With a sustained practice, eventually the need to use thought and emotion to create healing will be gradually replaced by homeostasis. Eventually we’ll no longer need to seek healing because equilibrium will be our natural state of being.

Tons of self-help books have said it over and over again: What we focus on, expands.

This message is repeated so much because most of the authors have proven it out in their lives.

The more energy we give a thing, the bigger and more prominent it becomes in our lives. We need to look at where we place our focus and energy.

Focus is the key.

As long as we contemplate a certain desire outcome we create a preponderance of that thought in the mind. This makes our desire outcome likely to occur (though it may not always happen with the exact expected outcome). This is considered a law of the universe.

Our mental practice doesn't have to be rigid, dogmatic, absolute, complete and total focus. But if we can come close establishing that preponderance of positive thoughts about the healing we desire, our lives shift to reflect this new state of mind.

This can't help but feel good. And so we create a mental and emotional loop that creates physical bodies in closer alignment with our higher nature.

The ultimate book on the power of thought, As a Man Thinketh, written in 1902 by James Allen says it beautifully:

“They [men and women] themselves are makers of themselves by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master weaver both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.”

Wei Chi and Your Three Levels of Energetic Defense

According to traditional Chinese medicine (TMC), Wei Chi is protector of your outer energy field (aura). It also protects the superficial layers of the body–the skin. Any pathogen that will eventually attack the physical body needs to first defeat Wei Chi by penetrating your aura and going past it through the skin layers. Wei Chi is the energy of your immune system and guardian of your health according to TCM.

These are the four sources of Wei Chi:

1. ancestral energy over which we have no control;

2. lifestyle over which we have partial control;

3. environment over which we have partial control;

4. our positive emotional relationships over which we should be able to have the greatest influence.

Wei Chi has natural enemies.

The first group of Wei Chi’s natural enemies traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) calls the five “devils.” These are essentially climatic conditions over which we have limited to no control.

The second group of enemies is composed of the negative effect of any of TCM’s five fundamental emotions. Negative points to an excess or imbalance in that emotion.

Each of the five emotions corresponds to one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water). Each emotion is like a coin with two faces. It has a positive and a negative side.

This is key: The negative aspect of each emotion diminishes Wei Chi while the positive side of each one of them becomes our greatest opportunity to strengthen our wei chi.

The source of Wei Chi we have the most control over relates to our emotional intelligence.

It encompasses an ability to minimize the negative while increasing the positive aspects of our emotional life. This nourishes our Wei Chi and ultimately, our immune system.

Good Wei Chi flow literally keeps us out of the doctor's office.

In the late 70s, PHYTO5 was foundedon the slogan, “Beauty is health made visible.” Updating it for today we say: “Beauty is well-being made visible.”

This motto is an expression of the PHYTO5 philosophy and mission. It’s the logical outcome of its deep roots in TCM that take into consideration all the elements that make up our being. 

Poor eating, poor breathing, lack of movement, climatic aggressions, or destructive emotions, significantly weaken Wei Chi and our immune system to the point it might no longer be able to prevent pathogens from reaching deeper into the physical body.

Fortunately, as TCM tells us, there are not one but four different energetic protection levels.

If the first level of wei chi fails, the second level of protection is the chi which flows through the body along meridians or pathways of vital energy.

There are five basic functions attributed to Chi:

1. movement

2. warmth

3. protection

4. transformation, and

5. support.

When pathogens pierce through Wei Chi to attack your chi, the illness becomes more stubborn. You experience more pronounced physical and emotional disturbance although it’s not life-threatening.

Once the illness goes deeper, it affects the vital energy of the third level of defense, the blood.

According to TCM, blood functions energetically. This function goes beyond arterial and venous circulation. It includes the movement of other fluids from the hormonal glands and the transport of nutrients, among others.

Should this master transportation system break down, the body enters a chronic illness level with severe health and emotional consequences. Pain is deeper and more prolonged.

From this one and the next level, the body might never return to full health. Containment and mitigation might be the best available outcome.

Any worsening leads to an attack on the fourth level of defense, the energy of the organs.

What’s at stake at this level is organ survival. A defeated organic chi creates a domino effect or negative spiral since each organ affects the proper function of all the others. When any organ is under siege, it deeply affects how we feel in all aspects of life.

At all levels, but particularly the third and fourth, illness is not limited to the physical aspects.

Addressing psychological, emotional, and spiritual issues are the only way to bring all aspects of our being now under siege into restored healthy alignment. 

In this state, achieving wellness might be a distant dream.

At the fourth level, survival becomes the ultimate objective.

Pain management is a moment-to-moment concern. Healing through the restoration of chi within the entire body requires appropriate holistic treatment.

In other words, a comprehensive holistic approach to getting well is absolutely required.

Nature Generates Negative Ions Perfectly and Purely

There’s one primary way you can get the most out of the Fall energetic season of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Generate negative ions in your world.

You can creatively rig your house to generate negative ions. But your simplest most elegant solution is to go outside in nature.

How are negative ions created? How does nature generate negative ions?

Let’s understand what positive ions are first. Positive ions are atoms or molecules that lose one or more electrons creating a shortage of electrons.

In contrast, negative ions gain one or more additional electrons to make them negatively charged as a whole.

Negative ions are these odorless, tasteless, invisible molecules.

Nature has many ways to perfectly generate negative ions. It constantly strives to strike a delicate positive-negative ion balance.

When air molecules break apart, they generate negative ions. Sunlight, radiation, ultraviolet rays, the vital energy of plants and moving air and water directly participate in this action.

Positive ions normally concentrate the air at high levels. But when a thunderstorm naturally generates negative ions, the ratio of negative to positive ions flips.

During and following the storm, the number of positive ions gradually declines while the concentration of negative ions increases. Biogically active, they permeate the air at perfect levels giving the air that special almost undefinable quality we all enjoy so much.

Are negative ions good for your health?

Negative ions make a positive impact on the natural 24-hour cycle. Without question, they contribute positively to your health and vitality.

After a thunderstorm occurs, for example, a very high concentration of tens of thousands of negative ions fills the air around you. This might sound like a large number of negative ions. But negative ions are never harmful to you even if their concentration is high.

On the contrary, an excess of positive ions harms and diminishes health. You’ll find air excessively charged with positive ions in closed in spaces like offices, factories, and shopping malls.

These closed in spaces are positive and cannot possibly generate negative ions.

Nature is your best and purest negative ions generator.

Make it a habit to enjoy nature frequently. You’ll never have to wonder if you’re getting the healing benefits of negative ions. You couldn’t enjoy a more perfect negative ions generator than nature itself.

Nature’s the perfect agent to generate negative ions in these places:

• mountains

• parks

• waterfalls and fountains (You can even create the negative ion effect in your bathroom shower.)

• springs

• beaches and pounding surfs

• forests (especially pine forests)

• moving air and wind

• dirt, earth, sand

You can be negative ions generator yourself right in your home or office environment.

These natural practices generate negative ions perfectly and purely.

1. Burn beeswax candles. They clean the air and produce negative ions. Beeswax candles also assist to reduce allergy and asthma symptoms.

2. Operate a Himalayan salt lamp wherever you spend the most amount of time in your home. Himalayan salt lamps counteract electronic vibrations and excessive positive ions your household electronic devices generate. The heated salt attracts and absorbs water in the air and then evaporates it. The salt mixes with the water molecules creating a solution where positively charged ions of sodium and the negatively charged ions of chloride neutralize. They then release into your environment to reduce pollutants, irritants and allergens from the air.

3. Run an indoor water feature or fountain. The force or energy of falling or splashing water causes is key. Here the neutral particles in air split freeing up electrons to attach to other air molecules to create negative ions.

4. Have amethyst and tourmaline crystals nearby or wear them. Much like the Himalayan salt lamp, tourmaline converts moisture from the air to generate negative ions. Amethyst works the same way.

5. SurroSurround yourself with plants. Plants clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide and breathing out fresh oxygen. This generates negative ions in the air. Some plants release higher levels of negative ions than others. The best choices are chrysanthemum, coconut palm, gerbera, spider plant and weeping fig.

6. Use rUse radiant heating from far infrared devices. They warm the body and not the air and generate negative ions.

7. Sit in front of bonfire and hearth fires. They generate negative ions too.

8. Walk barefoot on soil, grass or sand. You want to put your body into direct contact with the earth. This connection body generates negative ions and relays them into your body. It aligns you the same electric energy level as earth’s.

9. Use grounding inserts in your shoes or wearing earthing sandals to generate negative ions and relay them into your body.

Rules of thumb for finding nature’s negative ions generators

These simple yet powerful natural settings generate negative ions:

• There are more negative ions in the woods than in the fields.

• Enjoy sunny days. They generate negative ions more so than on cloudy days.

• The tips of pine needles on forest evergreens are superior negative ions generators. Get out into the forest.

• Your own grass just outside your home is a ready-to-access negative ion generator. Walk barefoot on it for at least 15 minutes per day.

• Go outside at sunrise and sunset for negative ions for your health. Those are the times of day when the sun and atmosphere generate negative ions at perfect levels. Too many positive ions float in the air at noon and either side of it.

• Plants are nature's most prolific negative ion generators. They conduct the negative energy of the earth into the air, ejecting it from the tips of their leaves.

One potted plant per 100 square feet of floor space can help clean the air in and generate negative ions to negatively charge the air in the average home or office.

Use the best varieties of potted plants and 15 to 20 potted of them in the room you use most.

Best plants that act as negative ion generators are philodendrons, spider plants, aloe vera, peace lilies, corn plants, potted ivy, snake plants, and flowering bananas.

This group of 15 to 20 potted plants will do the work of a good high-efficiency air cleaner. Not only will they purify the air, they’ll generate negative ions on a daily basis negatively charging and invigorate your breathing air.
