The Nature Of Nature Is Healing
More people are waking up to the fact that the nature of nature is healing!
The two things that we are told that we have to do as children by our patents and society are as follows; to control and predict. Both of these are impossible. The nature of nature is healing, it’s why cuts heal. The old joke is if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
The point is, you can’t control and predict anything. What I see in people who are really sick is that they are losing control, apparent control, and that struggle and fight is compounding the problem. What they are not doing is “being” in the moment. Every moment along the way where we are not trying to change it while being totally present is blissful.
A magic pill implies that something is wrong and that the pill is going to fix what is wrong.
Right here’s an example, let’s say I have a high temperature. Western culture see’s that as a Tylenol deficiency and would end up taking the Tylenol to stop the fever. Now, if people comprehended that the immune system works optimally at 103.5 degrees, they would certainly embrace the high temperature. They would understand it was eliminating something in our body that shouldn’t be there.
Now, the lizard and snake that don’t know that and are not warm blooded, they crawl onto a hot rock and bake in the sun out of instinct. They do this to get their white blood cells functioning better.
What more people need to recognize is the body is divinely driven, it’s divinely crafted as well as it functions really well. The body’s job is to recover, period. If you cut the body, it will heal, if you scratch a Maserati, it does not heal. The body is a magical thing.
If the nature of nature is healing and this should be taught in all medical schools
The only time the body is not recovering is when something is in the way. The only time that water does not run downhill is something is in the way. Water will certainly always run downhill due to the fact that when you get rid of the barrier, it proceeds downhill.
It’s the same with the human body and the very best thing we can do is to get out of our own way and also return to the living in harmony with nature. Living in harmony with nature and eating real whole food, green juicing, getting proper rest, as well as exercise. An Oasis Of Healing can guide you in getting out of your own way permitting your body to heal naturally.
To actually take a pill means that person doesn’t understand. When someone has high blood pressure or cancer or heart disease, that is the body keeping that person alive. If these processes weren’t happening, for example, with high blood pressure, the blood wouldn’t be able to get through and the organs wouldn’t get enough oxygen and the person would die.
If people truly understand this then what they need to do is realize that somehow they have got into their own way and their own natural ability to heal.

How Do Emotions Affect Your Health
How do emotions affect your health as you’re healing from cancer or just trying to stay as healthy as possible?
So, how do emotions affect your health both positively and negatively? To best illustrate this, let me share with you here an example. There are two systems in our body that regulate the way the body works, the nervous system which is the brain and the peripheral nerves. The second is the endocrine system which is the hormone system.
These are the two main control mechanisms of the body which control a lot of the organ and cellular functioning. These two systems actually connect together at a place in the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases chemicals that stimulate the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is often referred to as a master gland of the body.
As the master gland of the body, the pituitary gland tells the ovaries, testies, thyroid and adrenal glands what to do. Now, let’s imagine this, two thirty year old women become roomates. This was a result of one of them running an ad. It ends up they really like each other and they get along very well. And, within one to two months, they find out they are menstruating at the same time.
Now, they did not plan this, they didn’t think or talk about it, it just happened. That’s the power of the neuroendocrine axis. It’s very settle but it is a very real thing. We know that positive emotions stimulate our natural killer cells. Natural killer cells are lymphocytes which are a certain type of white blood cell. They kill cancer and virally infected cells and cells that have intracellular parasites.
How do emotions affect your health and the best ways to keep them in balance
We know for a fact that laughter increases not only the number of natural killer cells but also their ability to do what they need to do. Also, we know that fear, doubt, pain, all these things diminish our natural killer cell count and effectiveness. We can actually measure these effects. That should be enough for us to realize that impact of positive versus negative emotions.
I was thinking back to an experiment I read back about when I was in graduate school. They had a group of people are these red hot iron pokers and then they blinded them and had only placed an ice cube on their hand. The skin on their hands actually shriveled up as if it had been burned as they were anticipating heat.
It’s incredibly powerful and because of that power, one of the many things we do at An Oasis Of Healing is teach people to laugh, meditate and still the mind. This is just as important as the nutritional aspect. When the emotional piece and the nutritional piece are both in check, this has profound positive effects on our long term health.
