Nectar of Life: January 2022

My basic training is in the allopathy stream of medicine, which I joined five decades back. Then 25 years later I learned Reiki and have been doing alternative therapy (also, I learned many other techniques) for hundreds of clients.

Stalwarts diagnosing from signs and symptoms

While we were students and fell ill, we would approach our teachers, who would do a thorough physical examination and suggest some simple medicines. And we used to be healthy again. I can count on my finger tips how many times they advised multiple diagnostic tests to reach a diagnosis. I had taken many of my relatives too for health issues and just one of them had to undergo an enteroscopy.

Plethora of diagnostic tests, that too multiple times

But now when you approach a doctor, the first thing to get done is a series of diagnostic tests. And I know many cases where they were asked to repeat the tests in some other diagnostic centre, for confirmation. Some of these tests (like ct-scan) have led to the death of some patients.

A 43-year-old woman had agreed to take part in a heart check program her employer, national building services company Programmed, introduced for its senior managers in 2018. Senior Melbourne executive Peta Hickey was a perfectly healthy woman when her employer organised a heart scan for her. A mother of two young children, she suffered an anaphylactic reaction to a special contrast dye used in the procedure and later died from multiple organ failure at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Diagnostic tests are very valuable, in certain cases where it is crucial. But getting these tests done at the drop of a hat and as part of yearly checkups can greatly reduce the quality of one’s life.

Fear of death

What is urging people to get all sorts of tests done? An assumption is they may have a sort of Thanotophobia. This is a clear cut indication of lack of faith in the Universe/destiny. Being a Past life regression facilitator, I know that a soul decides the time of its leaving the body. And nobody, not even doctors can extend the date of death. Once this belief is strong within, one won’t go paranoid on getting any disease.

Anything that comes, goes

Any disease that the physical body suffers from is brought about by the body. And after a varying period of time, the body can set it right, provided we don’t overload it with wrong foods, wrong, unnecessary medicines and fail to take adequate rest. But in today’s time, we want everything in a jiffy. Like, a common cold needs seven days to resolve. It doesn’t require any medicine at all, as in so many other viral diseases. But people do take a variety of medicines even for this, which really surprises me!

The side effects

Recently a number of clients who turn to me for help are suffering from the side effects of medicines that doctor had prescribed, or just bought on the recommendation of the pharmacist. My advice to them is “Body heals from every disease, it takes time. But generally, body takes longer time than that to heal from side effects of medicines taken. So one needs to be really patient to get back to normal health.”

Antibiotics (which are taken ruthlessly these days) kill good bacteria in the body too, and that’s bad because good bacteria are often helping your body fight the infection. Many people also experience mild-to-severe antibiotic side effects, especially if their immune health is already compromised, like hospital patients. More seriously, antibiotics can leave room for extremely harmful bacteria such as E.coli, C.diff and Salmonella — infections that may be so severe that hospitalization is required.

Research shows that it takes about 6 months to recover from the damage done by antibiotics.

Count the things you do daily to harm your health

It is a good exercise to count the number of things you do to jeopardize your health. Starting from not getting up before Sunrise, to eating restaurant and packaged foods on a daily basis, lack of exercise and adequate sleep, filling the mental and emotional fields with all news/information that leads to a turbulent mind, you will notice countless things.

You need to take health as a priority

As on a daily basis, so many things are done to destroy the health, what are you doing to counteract all those harmful effects? If you want to enjoy health, you need to take it as an agenda. Any pain or symptom that the body manifests is an indication that something is wrong. The physical body is screaming to get your attention. You correct it, and the condition is reversed.

How do we know that?

The question is, how will you know? You will know only if you have developed a rapport with your body and mind. Majority of the people have no clue what this means. We have lost our sensitivity. Is there any way to get it back? From my experience, doing daily self healing with Reiki is a sure shot and the most simple way to develop this lost sensitivity and on top of that, Reiki brings the information, things and people that are needed for progressing in your life!
