Our journey to health can be much more than riding a raft in an uncertain ocean of concern. If we turn to the wisdom of our spirit, we have a guide for empowerment.

Though we don’t often stop to recognize it, we hold a tightly bound bundle of beliefs about our bodies. These are potent rudders when we are challenged by illness, but we can steer ourselves to new possibilities when we consciously encourage a spirit adventure by seeking fresh information. Then we become intrepid pioneers, exploring a new world. Rather than holding onto old truths, we might discover bacteria aren’t our enemy. These 100 trillion invisible body residents are essential health allies and, in a new approach to health known as medical ecology, scientists are showing us how to work with them to help us heal.

Though we are encouraged to believe insurance is our life jacket, this safety guard makes it hard to swim freely in our choices. When we are paying monthly premiums, spending money outside the system is challenging, but there are answers here that can make all the difference. Insurance asks us to let policy direct our decisions when our inner wisdom might have us seek alternative care.

Self awareness helps us navigate the currents of our well-being; our spirit is the communicator between mind and body. Whatever path we choose in our healing journey, we are served by going to the quiet knowing-place deep inside. It has information beyond tests, statistics, and procedures. Listening to these spirit whispers can empower us so we can travel the oceans of our well-being in a steady boat with sails unfurled as we follow rainbow possibilities.
