Feeling better every day 5 - What made us so sick ?

Hi my friends. In this video, in this little series, we're going to talk about disease and why we have become so sick. What happened? What is the explanation that so many of us are struggling so much with our health? So as I see it and with what I've learned on my way through my own life and through training and through treating different clients is that said in a very simple way, which this is really all about, being very simple and very common sense, is that our bodies are stressed. It is stresses that are causing disease and our bodies are stressed by many many things and this is partly because we are in this enormous process of awakening from an old way of being and into a new state. So our body is shedding a whole lot of physical things, mental things, emotional things, not spiritual things because we are becoming more spiritual. So this is one of the explanations that human beings are shedding a whole lot of old stuff that we no longer need. And the other explanation, there's many explanations, but one is that life has become mentally and emotionally very very stressed and we have lost touch with this deep inner self, which in these videos we are practicing every time. So because that is really where all the tools we will need to move on, they are in there. So the world around us has become a very stressful place, a very toxic place. So the soil, the air, the water, our food and the way we are treated by doctors with all these enormous amounts of chemicals does all bring enormous stress to our bodies and has ever since the day we were born. So they say that little babies are born full of chemicals because there's just chemicals everywhere. And one of the huge stresses for us is our diet, which has changed dramatically just over the last hundred years. And as you know from the videos I've made that I'm very much a proponent of an animal-based diet and we're all unique and some of us do very well on a plant-based diet, but I focus mostly on the animal-based diet because I've found that this is most healing for most of us. But the fact is that we humans have eaten an animal-based diet for millions of years and our bodies, they assimilate the nutrients from animal products very, very easily. And so all the nutrients we need are really in meat and eggs, maybe some dairy. We don't really need anything else. And when we eat this way, our digestive system is very much kept healthy and it is not burdened by plants, which can often be very stressful for our gut. But we'll go into that much more in a diet video. So what has happened, of course, is all this food that was nutrient-dense and very natural, our diet has become incredibly unnatural and we're eating food from all over the world and we're eating many plants that are very processed. And so the whole processed food industry is really more or less killing us. And as I see it, there's really no one to blame because we humans, we are attracted to trying something different and we love these tastes of these foods that are very processed. Some people do. And so we become addicted to them. And really it's, although it can really take our power away, all this food, I believe that the power is within us and we can all make these changes. So, but of course, our gut that was so used to these natural foods, which is getting all these very, very highly processed foods and with lots of carbohydrates, this is stressing our system enormously. And there was this whole shift some decades ago where we were told that fats are very unhealthy, bad for us, and that meats are also bad for us. And really all animal products we should stay away from. And people started fearing fat. And so because our human body needs energy, when you don't get fat, you have to have sugar, because otherwise you have no energy. So we started eating enormous amounts of sugar and carbohydrates. And this has brought on this whole metabolic syndrome epidemic that really is all over the world. So a very simple thing to do if you wish to make changes today is to really just start eating meat and animal products and leave all the rest alone, drink water, have some salt and see how you change, because you change quite dramatically. So this is one area of it, or these different areas I've mentioned now. And another major thing is that because we have become so weakened by all these stresses, and because of the food, and because of the medicines we were given as babies, our gut microbiome has been completely destroyed in many, many cases. And so all the different viruses and parasites and yeast and bacteria that are in our environment and which really are maybe proliferating because everything is so toxic. And we live in a very unnatural way. All these things are really multiplying enormously. And when you have a very damaged gut, they go and they inhabit your body, and they really take over. So many of us are very burdened by being infected, and we become really chronically infected with all these different microorganisms. So it's really been an onslaught on the human body for decades. Our bodies have been really attacked by all these things. And my little mission in life with these videos and now with this little series is to help you to understand that although it looks really bad, you can actually heal and you can solve your problems with your health in your body and in your mind. It is possible. So often when we are very, very broken down, we lose hope. And when you lose hope, you really lose everything. So that's my wish for you to have hope that you can heal. So let's just do a little exercise of tapping into our inner wise self. So close your eyes if you like and breathe into your belly. Allow all my words that were just said to just float away. Feel your head and your shoulders and your arms, your torso, your hips, your thighs and knees and lower legs and feet. How your feet are connected to the ground and connected to Mother Earth, this beautiful planet we are living on. Sense how you become more and more soft and relaxed. And you can tell yourself that no matter how, what a situation your health is in, you are on your way to feeling better and better every day. And all the wisdom you will ever need, all the guidance you will ever need is within you. So there is no need to fear. Feeling how the relaxation is spreading all through your body. Sensing this fullness within. There is life within you. Not only physical life, but spiritual life. You are alive. Isn't that a miracle that you are here and I am here right now in human bodies, these magnificent beings. We are living in a human body. We are physical and we are spiritual. So our spirit is within us and it is all around us. It is huge really, much bigger than our body. And our spirit is always well. It is whole. It is complete. And it holds all the wisdom that we will ever need. So with our long, slow, deep breath we are just sensing how we are this spirit. We are not our body. And as you're relaxing you might sense that there are places in your life where you can make changes. And whatever you feel ready for, you will be able to do. Step by step. Changing things step by step. And by allowing yourself every day to become quiet and connected with yourself is really the first and most important step you can make. Take two more breaths. Long and slow and deep. So isn't it wonderful when we do these little exercises? I just love it so much. And it really helps me to realize that there might be a whole lot of things that I have to understand and realize and maybe do. But the foundation for all of that is really that I am present and I am calm. And I'm trusting. And that I feel good with myself. So we were talking about this subject of why have we become so sick. And I'll just go back to this in this last part of the video. So I'm not a doctor. I'm a kinesiologist and I do different therapies with emotional releasing and spiritual counseling. Different things. But I'm not a doctor and so I'm not very science-y. But what I know from my journey is that we can basically say that all stresses that our bodies can't cope with become inflammation. And it is inflammation that really, in most cases, we need to help our bodies rid themselves of inflammation. And when we do that, all the body's ability to cleanse itself, to digest food and be healthy in all parts of our system, all these abilities come back because we remove the inflammation that was caused by all the different stresses. And just keeping it simple is that we change our diet to a whole foods, organic, very simple, very nutrient-dense diet, whatever feels right for us. And in many cases, it's good to lower our sugar consumption so that we have more fat and more protein, which gets us into a low-carb state and which is very anti-inflammatory. And if you have tried that and it's not working, going the carnivore way and just having mainly meat and fat, salt and water, is a very, very powerful tool to rid your body of inflammation. And also, our gut, which has become so overwhelmed by all these different microorganisms, it actually cleanses itself. So because the fact is that these microorganisms that have come into our bodies and that are living there and making us even more inflamed, they love sugar and they love carbohydrates. So just taking this step of cleaning up our diet really can be 90% of the healing that we need to do. And as I teach you in these little videos, coming into this quiet place where you feel relaxed and feel calm is, of course, the first major one step that really will promote healing on all levels. So this is my view of what's happened. Our bodies are overwhelmed by stresses that are mental and physical and emotional. And all our body's abilities are really there, but they have become overwhelmed and they've stopped working properly. And so when we change our life so that we get this inflammation out of our body with diet and with the way we think and feel and treat ourselves, then all the processes of the body start working again and we feel how we heal. So although we're living in a very toxic world and there is a lot of stresses around us, we can actually create a little oasis for ourselves. We can still be connected with the world around us. And we might be sad seeing people who don't take responsibility for their health, but when we help ourselves and we take responsibility ourselves, we will be able to help others one day. So one of the major things that we need in this healing process is to really accept that everybody is on their own path. And some people actually have chosen to be in a sick state for a very long time. And to really just love them where they are. So not let other people's suffering pull us down. So all is well. And I'll finish this video now that was about sickness and inflammation, bacteria and how we can actually move past it all. So have a wonderful day and I'll see you next time. Bye!
