Symptoms

What are your symptoms? When it comes to the human body or psyche, the symptoms are the focus and not the whole person or the root cause of the symptom(s). My two cents on the matter is toxic lives and toxic lifestyles are usually the root cause of the symptoms. Our bodies and minds are signaling us, "Hey, I don't like what you are eating!" or "Hey, I don't like what you are listening to!" I've heard this ideology from different natural health practitioners, "You don't have a headache because you are deficient in aspirin or ibuprofen." There are many different variables when it comes to healing but the first step is starting the process. As long as you stay on the same path you are traveling you will always arrive at the same destination. How do you change your destination? First, get a clear understanding of the path you are currently on.

Start your discovery by keeping a diary or journal on a daily basis for two weeks of EVERYTHING you put in your mouth from the time you wake up to the second you lay down and go to sleep. Even if it's a mint or piece of chewing gum, whatever you put in your mouth write it down.  

EX: May 3, 2010 7:30 am Prayer & meditation (30 minutes) 8:50am 4 oz. water, 10:00am Fruit smoothie (banana, mango, pineapple, strawberry, and 8 oz. orange juice)11:00 am 20 oz water, 12 noon Mixed Green Salad, 8 oz. baked salmon steak, 2 pm Almonds (hand full), 5pm 1 medium Baked Sweet Potato & Mixed Green Salad.

Also keep a record of every little emotional upset and what you believe triggered that emotion. Cross check your emotional upsets with your food log. Some of your emotional highs and lows are directly related to what you eat. Last but certainly not least, meditate and/or pray. In the morning when you wake up, before you do anything... meditate/pray. Mid-day, pray... praying over your meal is a great start! Before you go to bed at night... meditate/pray!

Deuteronomy 30:11-20 ¹¹For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.  ¹²It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? ¹³Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? ¹⁴But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. ¹⁵See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; ¹⁶In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. ¹⁷But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; ¹⁸I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. ¹⁹I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
 ²⁰That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
