Do you know……..We all were constantly complaining that life is very challenging. No one had time to spare for their family, and especially on themselves. Now, with the global outbreak of Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic, our life has temporarily changed. I can’t comment if it’s for good or bad, but our daily lifestyles have been impacted. Nature has provided us with the opportunity to heal our over active, heavily worked up body, mind, spirit with our inbuilt self-healing trait and establish harmony with our environment. This is the time to

explore our hidden potentials of cooking, sewing, painting, art-craft, writing, etc., to name a few. Grand Master Lu (Lu Sheng-Yen, born 27 June 1945, is the founder and spiritual leader of the True Buddha School with teachings from Buddhism and Taoism) reminds us that every event provides opportunities to learn and that health is a dynamic part of life. “Life is magic. Health is dynamic. It is true we need a strong immune system, but it is not the whole truth. We also need to see what the immune system represents?  Simply put, it is the result of your body, mind, and Spirit working as one.” 

Our body is not made to experience misery, disease, or sickness. Our cells continually look for health, balance and harmony with our surroundings. We have microcosm of macrcosm within us i.e.  human beings, are viewed as an epitome or miniature of the universe. Whatever exists in the nature exists within us to help us self- heal. When we break that natural law and stop vibrating at the same frequency, then we start attracting negative energies and victimize our body to different diseases.

Unlike in the Western traditions, Ayurveda (Ayu=long life and veda=knowledge, which means in Sanskrit, ‘knowledge of life’, originated in India more than 5,000 years ago from the ancient Vedic culture and is often called the “Mother of All Healing”), places great emphasis on individual body’s physical constitution, emotional nature, spiritual outlook, and balance of natural rhythms and cycles. Similarly, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine, teaches how to live a life of balance, wellness, and harmony. it’s rooted in unchanging natural law, which has its source beyond time). TCM believes that at birth we are born with the ability, Qi or energy to heal ourselves in a smooth, efficient, and productive way.

Modern quantum science as well as the Ayurveda and TCM, say that everything is made up of energy. We can use the vibrational frequency of nature and our internal frequency to heal and balance our bodies and emotions. According to Ayurveda and TCM, universe is composed of 5 Elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and they include our internal organs. Ayurveda believes, these five elements combine to make three Doshas, that controls all the function of our mind and body:

Vata(Air and Ether) –Fall and Early Winter, Later life

Pitta(Water and Fire) –Summer, Adolesent to Middle age

Kapha(Water and Earth) –Late winter and Early Spring, Birth to Puberty

This Five Element Framework offers a diagnostic framework to recognize where imbalances in our body, mind, emotions, and spirit lie. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy, an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics which identifies them.

We become what we think about. If we are not feeling good, then we don’t like ourselves. We carry our thoughts not only in our mind, rather in our entire body. It’s good to have some stress, but stress beyond our tolerance could create all kinds of problem in our day to day life. When stressful events happen, distress signals to brain, that alerts endocrine system which starts producing cortisol and adrenaline or epinephrine, stress hormones. As a result, our immunity goes down. We all have ability of resiliency to bounce back from stressful events, adversities and if not, this skill can be learnt with compassionate support through self-awareness and self-care. Most of us are unaware of our full potential, hidden skills, that we can acquire by self-programming through:

• Self- hypnosis (Visualizing body is healing itself, becoming whole and functional)
• Self introspect
• How to be your ideal self
• Guided imagery
• Relaxation, Yoga,
• Meditation to calm mind and connect to innate wisdom.
• Give thanks and feel gratitude in the body
• Appropriate Sleep
• Good healthy diet to nourish the digestive system and boost the immune system
• Find a healthy environment and get out of a toxic environment
• Find healthy relationship, open the door to experience peace, love, and healing you deserve
• Letting go of worries, fears and heaviness that weigh us down and make room for the new space to grow, to learn, to enjoy.

Inner peace is what natural healing looks like. When we’re at peace, our Qi flows and our spirit is content, that makes our entire internal environment balanced and in harmony. Ultimately, we feel healthy inside-out. In Ayurveda and TCM, they don’t treat the individual disease, but treat the person as a whole. It’s based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Its main goal is to promote good health, not fight disease.

Aromatherapy using Essential Oils is good way to support the body’s own healing system.
