Natural Immunity In Our Body

This is an excellent video about immunity, vaccines and how overboard we sometimes go in trying to create a sterile environment. Sometimes having too sterile of an environment is not the most healthy thing for us. Of course living in dirty conditions, is not health easier. There needs to be balance.

Before people run to the doctor and get flu shots and other vaccines, they really need to research and understand what is happening. Take a look at this blog post on the topic H1N1 Vaccine Linked To Increase In Miscarriages. We as humans need to engage more in our own understanding of what we do to our bodies. I am not going to tell you to take vaccines or not to take them because that is something you have to decide for yourself. Be informed though and just don't follow the medical establishment blindly.

Retraumatization

Some times people don't really stop and use common sense about healing. They do things that may feel like euphoria in the moment but really do not do much. Often times, what we view as healing is fueled by anger, resentment and bitterness. While all of these things can be a big spark of ignition to get us moving through our pains of the past, if we're not careful we will walk down a long and winding road to nowhere, only to have to turn and walk all the way back.

There are so many healers out there sporting so many different ways to heal. In all reality, the percentage of what truly heals from these things is probably so small that it is often missed. Yes, I know that each one of the healing modalities and concepts has proof of why they are so effective. Unfortunately that does not always mean much other than someone believing it is healing.

Often I see survivors of child abuse focus on doing things that they feel are healing yet in the long run, it is nothing more than re-traumatizing. Of course in that moment, you cannot convince them otherwise. Stories of abuse are told time and time again without very little movement forward, the lure of going on TV shows becomes the moment of saving grace in their life and spending more time in counseling than trying to live life becomes the norm. Please don't get me wrong as some of these things are very helpful. It is however, when they become a crutch or an illusion that they become re-traumatizing.

Please do not think for a second that all healing is healing. It is not and I can name numerous accounts of this that I have been through and that I have witnessed in others. You really need to be careful because some "healing" can be very hurtful and really throw you off the path you need to be walking. I am sorry if anyone thinks I am being too harsh on this topic but this is reality.

We all have common sense and if we listen to our bodies, our minds and our hearts, we will find the way forward. To give our power up to a TV show, or healer or to some conference or organization does not mean we are healing. True healing is when we go within and we go to the source of the pain. We find the answers within ourselves because no one can give them to us. Other people can offer a flashlight for us to see more clearly but if the answer is not coming from within, question it with all your might. Just because someone else claims to have healed themselves from pains of the past does not mean they have all the answers as well.

I have recently heard about a TV show in New York that is looking for child abuse survivors to confront their abusers on TV. When you go to this TV show website, you will quickly see that it is a Jerry Springer type show with a lot of anger, yelling, screaming and fighting. While it may make someone feel good to go yell, scream, and fight with their abuser, what will that prove? I'm afraid, it will not prove very much except connecting with the anger, bitterness and resentment held in your own pain body. Anyone is free to disagree with me but healing does not come from growing your anger, bitterness and resentment. It comes from moving past those and a show like this does not appear to offer much in that way.

Consider this for a moment about a TV show as I described above. If the survivor's abuser comes on the show and says, "oh I'm so sorry for what I did and I can understand how angry you are but hopefully you will be able to forgive me one day" and then leaves it at that, do you think the show will really want to promote this display? It will have no emotion, no kick or wow factor and they won't get many people continuing to tune in to see the show. It will not hold anyone's attention.

In order to make the show successful, they need viewers because that is what brings in the advertisement dollars. What this show wants to see is people fighting, screaming and getting angry with one another. Now if you think that is a healing thing by all means do it but more than likely you will come away from it feeling victimized once again.

In the end, the details of your story and memory are essential to help you begin the healing process. As time goes, the details of the story hold less importance because you begin to realize that memory is not always linear. Our minds don't necessarily remember events that happen in a step by step fashion. Sometimes one part of a memory is mixed within another part of our memory. It is truly hard to trust all of these parts and that is why the emotions that arise and the body connections we physically feel are a more accurate way of healing through the trauma from the inside out. For what we experience in our body is the part that holds the potential energy to transform our lives and our healing.

The stories of our abuse and learning to release the anger and pain are vital parts of healing. However, we need to be careful in the ways that we do this so that it becomes a positive step forward and not a re-victimization of past painful events in our life. We all have our common sense and we all have a built in sense of what is helpful and what is not. When we attempt to look through things in an objective way or ask others to help us do this, than we will be giving ourselves something very powerful and life changing.

Numerology 1/11/11

Lately, I find myself intrigued by things like astrology, numerology and sacred geometry. Don't ask me why because I wouldn't be able to tell you if I knew. I just find my mind wondering about all these things. I am one of those that is careful to stay grounded and not just get caught up in the new age-ness of everything. Part of me is a skeptic and for me that is fine. For others, it probably drives them nuts to be around me.

Looking at 1/11/11 (January 11, 2011) which is today, makes me wonder. What does that mean? Ok, you could say, it is just another day in another year. One would have to agree with you at some level. However, I can't help but think there is more to it than this. I just have no clue what that is.

In my search, I've compiled a few internet places that I read while searching a little about this. I cannot verify which ones are valid and which aren't. It seems like everybody has a little different meaning behind the numbers. If anyone has information you would like to share, please feel free to leave a comment - don't spam me now but include information and sources to back it up.

For each quoted section, I have also added the link to the specific website where I found this information. Please visit each website and read all of what they have to say. I only listed one small quote from it.

From JJ Micahel's Blog - All Things Metaphysical And Spiritual

In the US, it is customary to leave off the first digits of a year, which makes January 11, 2011, read numerically as 1/11/11. Mark this date on your calendar or in your journal, because the message is loud and clear that this is the time of light. 1 is the Alpha, the beginning and 11 represents light. When you add the 1's in 1/11/11, you get 5--change. If we add all the numbers in the full date of 1/11/2011, the result is 7. Finally, if you add just the numbers of the year, 2011, the results will be 4, representing Earth.

The message reads as: (1)The beginning (5) changes will happen (11:11) as a new cycle of light transforms (4) Earth and (2)darkness/duality (7) by the will of Spirit.

From the Free Psyhic Insight.org website

If you don't like what you are thinking about or what is showing up in your life, change your thoughts now because you will begin to see a manifestation of these thoughts in your life soon.

11 numerology is a cosmic number. A very long time ago you set up that this number sequence - 11, 111, 11:10, 11:11, and 10:10 -would be your reminder to make the bridge between yourself and home.

From tribe.net

11:11 has been associated with DNA activation
11:11 has been seen as the calling of the Lightworker
11:11 as the Two witnesses of REV. 11:11
11:11 as the two suns theory
11:11 is prophetic
11:11 has inspired artists
11:11 has been a sign of the times
11:11 is kindred to 2012
11:11 appears anyware and everywhere at random

From Times Square Chronicles, Numerology Readings for 2011

As we go in to 2011, the year adds up to a 4 (2+1+1=4). The overall theme is getting back to fulfilling our obligations. Hard work of a mental or physical nature will be required of almost every number this year. 2011 is a time to get serious.

From Unexplainable.net - Prepare for 1/11/11

But what will happen in the physical world at this time? It's difficult to say. Often these times come and pass bearing no significance in themselves to anyone but those paying attention. So how would we prepare for 1/1/11? If it's a UFO sighting, we can use this to suggest a much more significant one will follow on November 11,2011. If it's a less tangible spiritual kind of awakening then only those who are in touch with this level of change will really feel anything at all.

From Indrajit's Desk - Today is 1/1/11

I couldn’t help but think 1/1/11 seemed to be a novel way to start a new year – a sign of a fresh start. 1 is the number of initiation and originality. In biblical numerology, the number 1 represents the spirit of unity, creativity, and formation.
