Just to be reminded really of our anchor in God's love because no where else will it find its true worth.
What blurs that intimate connection with God Almighty is invented rituals and million other blurs that take us away from this simple and profound truth. Every authentic scripture tells God is One and has no form and no gender and is not created but a creator. All attributes (creator, ultimate truth, sustainer, destroyer, compassion, loving and many many others) belong to God. Each of those attributes can be paved in our heart literally physiologically by reflection, remembrance and gratitude. The act of reflection, remembrance and gratitude are the only rituals one needs and every act thereof is a act of worship to the ONE God who brings us into ONENESS. Acts of Worship are - 1) Protecting our bodies and our souls from abuse and exploitation. 2) Being sharing and kind to family, friends, neighbors and community. 3) Cooking, gardening, cleaning - doing daily family duties. 4) Dedicating one's life to profession with honesty and integrity. 5) Committing to another human being in marriage. 6) Taking responsibility to be better human beings, through knowledge and character building. 7) Remembering your worth is from God and God has made you Pure, Innocent, Whole and Complete. 8) Taking minimal from nature and not robbing nature of its abundance. 9) Living with harmony with the environment around - of people, relationships, circumstances, thoughts, ideas and material in life. 10) Knowing that the most difficult person is your life is a messenger in life who sacrifices his/her life by being difficult - so our journey can polish us to become better and sharpened and shining - like a chisel sharpens the black coal stone to become a diamond.

As I breathe in silence...
Unique 'ness' expresses like the wave along the shore; To emerge in unique and distinct expression and returns to One 'ness' like the wave returns into the embrace of the ocean To dissolve into nothing-ness and whole-ness As I breathe in nothing... No expressions emerge, there is nothing to emerge Nothing to ponder; nothing to consider; nothing to surrender All there is - is immersion As I breathe into my heart... Million pathways to take; Each leads to chamber that builds A process of cocreation, a process of emergence of the moment-to-be Stress and emotions or chemical stress (wrong food, medicines, drugs) sucks the life force which runs in your body as living fluid (which dries up within hours of death). This fluid drying up is dehydration which is what needs immediate replacement. This is why tender coconut water is your natural IV line and must be your first go to solution.
Interestingly, even in western medicine the first line of treatment is IV Dextrose which is often what is sufficient and enough and if they just waited enough body will recover. But we have our natural IV - tender coconut water- the biggest blessing for tropical countries. I often say after mother’s milk it is the coconut water which is our life line. It is important to gain control of your breath through Dhikr (remembrance & praise of Almighty) & meditation (self-reflection), gain the right perspective of life and be aware of bigger perspective (moderate fasting every day). All this reduces the use of this life force significantly and you can flourish & thrive on just few organic natural fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, & little very occasional meat. Nature provides all bounties and we only need little from it. 🙏🏽 I got this message from one of my clients that read "Dear mam, I'm seeing lots of active persons between 50 to 65 ages are getting expired due to sudden massive heart attack without any symptoms before... I suspect recent vaxs...2 of My uncles expired in the same pattern... only thing is they are vaccinated" Today this virus is considered and declared a flu which needs booster flu doses. That’s a mask off - No virus that needs a vax can ever become weak to become a flu. It should always need the same precaution or more especially since it gets resistant to countering force like a drug. Besides I have treated multiple people in the last few months – women having severe bleeding, people (previously with excellent immunity) having lower immunity, women who lost babies to miscarriage – having one common factor – they had taken the vaccine. AIM (Awaken India Movement) is an organization that is tirelessly collecting data from across all channels of deaths and adverse drug reactions which have not been filed by authorities. AIM has collected data of close to 32000 + deaths in the last 12 months - all supposedly healthy people with no previous medical history. Perhaps all these are freak incident? And now a similar trend of deaths of children since that drive has begun beginning of this year. A scientific mind is one that stops to look for patterns and investigates - not just dismisses. Let us assume even 70% of them were just incidental. Surely 100% cannot be incidental. How can so many entire families sudden turn so ill after vaccination – we are talking about people who had no health issues before being vaccinated. We can argue here that there is no need to establish a cause but we surely can investigate and try to verify the information rather than looking the other way and dismissing it. The issue is that the harm of any pharmaceutical chemical concoction can never be established if you are going to keep looking at one factor "did A cause B". If I make a vaccine for A disease, if I keep looking for did it cause A and if it didn’t, I count that as success. This is not science. That vaccine may not cause A but may cause B to Z. The problem is B to Z is going to be called what most argue "when something untoward happens, families are always looking for some rationale, they might blame anything" When we wish to adhere to a scientific rigor, we must be open to listening, discussion, debate and experimentation and research with no bias from skepticism, greed of money, power, and politics. The BIG FACTORS - DISCRIMINATION and HIGH HANDEDNESS - none of these are science. That is why I say there is no science & reason without the Spiritual Sciences & Wisdom. But the so called 'science' has shunned away with the spirit for a reason isn’t it. How do we support this blind approach? It is not that our eyes cannot see but our hearts are blind to the obvious truth. We should be looking at multiple research articles that compare many modalities of treatments with no fear of outcome. We want to believe that science is neutral to investigation. And honest science is one that is willing to observe and pick the most efficacious treatment. The current system looks down on all other modalities of natural medicine by claiming it has no scientific research. Have we stopped to question why we don’t have research and who stops us from investigating? If we look deeper, this is not about lack of research but this is about not wanting to research for fear of being compared. If the system is so robust then why there is a lack of trust in their own system. A true athlete is not afraid of a race. I always say every treatment modality has its place in the system. We need to collaborate, investigate and work together with wisdom and maturity - not base ourselves on some bias and discrimination that represents only low self-esteem. Every living cell is autonomous and can function on its own with absolutely no intervention in its most natural state. This is a deep conviction I believe in and work and live from this approach in life. What is often forgotten is a living cell functions in a context of energetic, spiritual, physiological, anatomical, and social (emotional) and nutritional labyrinth. This is important to comprehend. While this understanding can be used in almost all discussions; here in this discussion of vaccines, there are many things to consider - one is matters of governance, second matters of administration and matters of knowledge and matters of belief. In all these matters we have a path of truth to follow. The truth is biodynamic in nature and not absolute. This is where the training for health care providers should be - to look at each person as an individual and their unique context and history to guide and provide support.
All these perspectives are valid and important yet they all belong to different bands of the spectrum I outlined above. Therefore, my approach to the subject of vaccines for long has been to look at all these bands of spectrum and truly come to a place of inquiry rather than offer random directions, opinions, or advice. My guidance inquiry has always been; Where do I place the autonomy? This is a vast subject and I will someday love to discuss this in detail. But for now, as a practitioner, I would like to share what I see, observe, and encounter during therapeutic work daily. Every chemical input (read vaccine here) needs to be primed, processed & integrated by a nervous system. When this has been loaded with jarring input signals which is too conflicted and not integrated; it is a pre-set for damped nervous response - for even simple stressors in life. When this happens early in life, when an embryo is just forming, it’s threshold is redefined even before it has set its primal threshold. That is a huge concern as it has failed to acknowledge the autonomy of the living cell in the first place. In a therapeutic session, which is objective information or ground reality- this is what I find. The babies’ & children’s systems are often overwhelmed and holds enormous trapped energy of shock (freeze response). These are due to different interventions which have not allowed its autonomy to be even expressed. It is like a woman going through a caesarean section without a trail of spontaneous labor. A caesarean section can be life saving but the fact remains that it may not be needed for 80-90% of the pregnancies. Similarly, disease is not common if we allow autonomy of health to be expressed by a human system. Instead, we barrage it, take away its autonomy and then declare its not worthy of functioning unless we inject a vaccine to be healthy! With this real information, we can approach the subject with prudence and wisdom to acknowledge the lifesaving quality that such interventions carry. This can help retain its quality of life saving to 10 to 20% rather than reducing all systems to survival and dysfunction instead of to life & thrival (not sure if such a word exists but I still take the liberty 😊) So, it definitely is not just about pro-choice or pro vaccine. It is simply a matter of acknowledgement of each life as unique and worthy of autonomy. Why are we so fearful of infections? When we get a cold and a cough it is always some else who has given it to us somehow, it’s never us giving it to others! Don’t touch this — don’t touch that — don’t share food etc. are common statements that you may hear around this.
I was wondering if a doctor or a therapist fears infections, who will treat and who will heal the sick? Did Mother Teresa die of Leprosy especially since she mostly served and loved leprosy patients? Immune system is a shared field of heart space. Being heart conscious allows an incredible boost to our immune system. Sharing the fluid field adds to the boosting of the immune system within a family and creates a common microbiome and common gut eco system. Our traditional Indian rituals are so beautiful in how they preserve and encourage these eco systems within family, building bonding alongside. If you ask me, what is another term for immunity - I will call it social bonding. Do you know why during an Indian wedding ceremony, the bride and groom fed a single piece of food/sweet and drink water/milk from a single glass? Do you know why they are encouraged to eat from the same plate? In fact, this is practiced in many other cultures; extended to even communities — for example in Arab communities, Bohra Muslim community, Jain community and many other communities - they share a meal from a single extra-large plate called the Thaal. The entire family and the extended family eats from the same plate. Do you know - in most cultures when a baby begins solids at the middle of the first year of life, the mother often softens food in her mouth before she feeds her baby. This is a common practice in most traditional cultures. Sharing spaces with an open heart, without fear and judgement is the single most game changer in boosting your immune system. The more we isolate ourselves the more the NEED to further isolate in times of crisis like an epidemic or a pandemic. Does it mean we discard basic hygiene? — the answer is NO. It is the subtleness that needs to be understood here. We need to think about what we may have moved away from and why so many communicable diseases have topped the charts despite so many inventions of vaccines and antibiotics. Is the sense of a loving ‘community’ dying? What is the meaning of community in the real sense - when science today tells us we are 99.9 % community of microbes and less than 1% of human cells? Who then are we running away from? Something to ponder upon.... One of my dear friends was chatting up with me the other day about how she learned from someone specializing in evolutionary biology from London Imperial College - that evolutionary adaptations that took millennia by humans are being seen in a matter of decades. The adaptation she was referring to was in relationship to use of technology especially smart phones.
I was sharing with her that one of the most significant motivations for me to help restore breastfeeding as a lactation consultant, has been is to educate mothers on how breastfeeding is directly linked with the evolutionary compensations human species is making at an alarming rate. Nothing has changed our airway structures like the way bottle feeding has (yes this includes bottle feeding with breastmilk in it) – that too in the shortest period. A woman breastfeeding is supporting her baby’s development of muscles & facial bones that help us breath optimally. Breathing is basic for human beings. Babies and children will choose breathing over eating since it is survival. The evolutionary changes we are seeing in the facial structures due to use of feeding bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups is changing the way we breathe. These changes to the airway are almost irreversible and extremely difficult to restore. Therefore, PREVENTION is the only choice. Feeding breastmilk in a bottle, use of pacifiers, spoons, sippy cups just does not support our airway the way breastfeeding does. Calling these interventions ‘breastfeeding’ is misleading and is a disservice to mothers and young families who deserve to know better. The damage is across a life time and across generations and this is just NOT OK. Breast pump companies have spent millions on research to support the sale of breast pumps. But do we realize that breast pumps do not support breastfeeding except when used as a medical device during active restoration of breastfeeding. This is the equivalent of c-section for birthing our babies. I call it ‘the unnecessary c-section of feeding!’ The best way to understand Oral health is by understanding the microbiome of our system. Oral Cavity is the biggest opening of our body which 'takes in the world into us in a way. Oral health begins early in Pregnancy when the structures of the oral cavity derived from the first branchial arch - complete by the end of the fourth week of development. During this stage the tongue also develops and needs to go thru a process called Apoptosis. If this process is not complete, it will cause a condition called a 'tongue tie'. This then impacts many functions of the body like breastfeeding in infancy, oral auto cleaning function, breathing, chewing, digestion etc. This compromises the microbiome and can lead to caries.
In nature no animal who eats living foods requires oral health measures like flossing, brushing etc. Think about it - no other wild animal needs oral health advice, medicines and hospitals the way humans do. *Prevention* This begins with complete functional breastfeeding for babies till their natural weaning time between 2 to 5 years. This must be supported with natural weaning foods. Breastfeeding prepares for optimal chewing motion so we can chew food well which builds the airways for proper breathing and prevents mouth breathing. This further prevents tooth decay and (therefore the rise of the dental industry). *Treatment & Healing* First and foremost, move to natural living. Consume sun cooked food. This will reduce the impacts of food, chemical and environmental toxicity. Opt for high amounts of natural sources of calcium, prebiotics, probiotics, and gut cleaning. Keep your gut healthy - that is the only way to prevent dental decay. Every other oral health advice is superficial. The other day, a young mother visited my clinic and her baby was nearly 4 months old. Baby weight was just about 1000 gms of gain over birth weight over 4 months. She was well educated and realized that the baby was not gaining weight well. She was sensitive and overwhelmed when she spoke to me. She told me she belonged to many breastfeeding support groups. I felt she was under immense pressure to ‘perform’ - to build up her milk supply and felt she had to race against formula milk.
This is race of unequals and we know who wins! When we set mothers against a race with infant formula, we are in essence saying you are not good enough and your body is not capable to produce enough milk. All this - without any evaluation of normal function of the baby’s suck. It is easy to lose focus when we have conversations like these. We are giving this more power to the debate of formula Vs Mother’s Milk. This often leads to rendering a new mothers’ life into a frustrating, relentless routine of pumping using a breast pump. It is a vicious cycle that is hard to break. Sometimes mothers take the risk to deal with severe low weight gain than to race with infant formula. We do not equate Food and Medicine. And sometimes medicine is critical - especially when the first line of support to sustain breastfeeding has failed due to poor clinical support. That is what infant formula is – a medicine (temporary). We just need to set its place as ‘medicine’ (temporary) while working with undivided attention to restore breastfeeding. The moment this mom felt she was no more racing against infant formula she felt a huge sense of relief and was now willing to evaluate the situation more objectively. She was more than ok to begin formula to allow baby to catchup while she supported her baby to restore normal breastfeeding. The problem is women’s experiences are often belittled - either by supporting her or by not supporting her. I have had so many young mothers tell me that their pediatricians who say that they are great advocates of breastfeeding, ask them to exclusively breastfeed the baby. If the mother says that she is unable to do so because the baby is not latching or feeding enough, immediately they are told to learn to deep latch the baby. These mothers break down and say – ‘how can I get my baby to deep latch when baby refuses to even latch in the first place!’ Then the very same doctors say “Well, if you cannot deep latch and don’t know how to latch your baby either express milk or give formula.” This is a complete paradox of moral and ethical complexity laid down in front of already exhausted and birth-abused young mothers. These are the so-called supporters of breastfeeding! This is clearly a failure at multiple levels starting from fundamentally not acknowledging the women’s experiences and compounded by poverty of clinical skills to support them. I feel infuriated when I keep hearing that we must ‘see and acknowledge an apple as an apple’. Sadly, this does not align with the noble cause of supporting breastfeeding. There needs to be a shift in understanding. This shift will break many mothers free from this bondage of formula. In the name of a noble cause, we may fail to acknowledge real issues with undernourished babies. Misdiagnosis and failure to support a failing baby is not noble at all. More than 90% of these cases are due to medical negligence and errors. These errors premature weaning (which is needless) and failure to breastfeed. These cases expose the grotesque levels of incompetence in this matter. The silence over this is both deafening and alarming. I firmly believe in this!
Let me start with….
This remains the central theme of my work. Not to advice but to empower by sharing your journey with others. Every dis-ease is an expression of health. This might sound counter-intuitive or outright ridiculous to some. Take a breath and join me to journey into a perspective - different to what the mind knows or what meets the eye.
Let us begin with the most common – fever. Most of us work towards dousing the fever with medications or remedies. Yet if you consider fever to be an expression of health, it changes the perception completely. Fever is a fire that burns away the unessential in our bodies and consciousness - to awaken us to our higher self. So, what can we do then? We can befriend the fever and support it to do its job by not dousing it but ‘joining’ it to burn or clear the unessential in us. What about the discomfort of body, pain and fatigue and feeling of exhaustion you may ask? When the ‘Fever’ is doing its ‘job’ we can support it by supplying it the biochemical material it needs such as ionic form of calcium (calcium lactate) + comforting measures by reducing food intake, consuming easily digestible food, taking rest, herbs or homeopathic remedies or cell salts. Just as purification of gold is through fire, consciousness is purified through discomfort. Fever is an expression of health. You may ask - Shouldn’t we aim to have our immune system so strong that we do not get even fever? Yes - of course, which means we work towards not accumulating the unessential so that we don’t have to call our emergency soldier to help. On the contrary if we douse the fever by fever reducing medication, we are essentially ‘disarming’ our soldier. The solider gets confused and the fever comes back after 4 to 6 hours when the medication flushes out of our blood stream. It builds the temperature of the body again to burn what does not belong there and we again douse it with medication. This continues - resulting in the recovery being longer and weaker every-time. This weakens our immune system in the long run and also overloads the organ system in our bodies such as the kidney and liver - which are our main filter mesh that purify and filter to keep the ‘essential’ and drain then ‘unessential’. Have you ever wondered why almost all disease - when you dig into its cause, you end being rudely shocked. Most reading material state the cause of the disease as idiopathic which means “Unknown.”
It is almost like an insult to the highly advanced human intelligence and our ‘modern’ and advanced audacity. Diseases such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, gastro-intestinal diseases, hypertension, diabetes, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, skin conditions and mental health diseases such as depression including conditions like psychosis are caused due to the Epigenetic influences – triggered, fanned and maintained by: ** Antibiotics in food and drugs form; ** The fast-food trend highly deficient in fermented and fresh foods; ** GMO laden with toxic pesticides that kill the very microbes we need to survive Apart from these the most crucial factor which is unforgivable is – **Increase in Birth Interventions such as controlling the outcome of birth by inducing labor, Numbing the labor by using pain medication and epidural - leading to paralyzed births and disconnected “beings” with Caesarean Section and Medical instruments. The bacteria that makes us human is starved into more ‘sterile (read ‘dead’) environment by bypassing the normal channels of inoculating the bacteria into the baby. **And more importantly we continue to starve the colony of microbes of health by separation of mother & baby and lack of breastfeeding which would otherwise be infusing a continuous supply of a variety of microbes to sustain a life-giving environment. These non-communicable diseases are preventable and very often fully reversible, but that would require a new way of practicing medicine. Restoring the microbiome may be the future medicine and energy medicine sits right on top of this. None of the treatment modalities show results without the ‘Will’ of the patient. The strongest, tallest, and hardest wall to break through - in any treatment is the human ‘WILL’. The veil of the ‘WILL’ - when it becomes permeable all healing occurs.
Some may say – Of course I want the pain to be gone. No one wants pain! Absolutely true - no one wants pain ‘consciously’. To understand healing and cure I would like to draw your gentle attention to the ‘inner will’ or the ‘subconscious ‘WILL’ that is programmed through genetic information, epigenetics, birth, breastfeeding and childhood and experiences. These shape our subconscious belief system. Once we allow these subconscious patterns to simmer up, we can let them dissolve. The Universal ‘Will’ of healing takes over only when the “Will” of the patient can surrender & give way for the Universal ‘Will’ to HEAL. An old proverb is my introspective element of today - Cleanliness is Godliness. This was considered of utmost importance in my growing years - such as not washing hands and legs from a tap directly and using a jug because water splashes when you run the tap and all that you wash falls from a height on the floor and droplets come back onto your clothes.
And so during the wazoo (ablution before contact prayers) one needed to take extra care to keep clothes clean. Other rules applied that we do not ever go to washroom without water to clean ourselves and where there is no water one needs to use at least a small piece of brick (highly absorbent material) to soak up. As a growing child I always thought of physical cleanliness and keeping home clean as something of the foremost importance. The proverb comes back to me in many ways and I begin to realize the layers it holds as an act of cleanliness and why is it so close to purity. a) Cleaning of body keeps my physical self clean. b) Cleaning of my home and work place keeps my environment clean, making it clutter free and allows me optimal function of life in daily activities. c) Cleaning when outside in roads and public places by not littering around, allows me to honor my fellow citizens with whom I share this earth space. d) Cleaning of my wants and desires and not littering them in my life, allows me to be conscious, not be a wasteful consumer and be mindful of leaving less carbon footprints. e) Cleaning of my emotions of anger, frustration and rigidity allows me compassion for self and others. f) Cleaning of my harmful habits such as no exercise, non-nutritious food and mindless consumption. g) Cleaning my earnings by paying my Zakaat (a word that is derived from the word zaka (زکا/زکی ) means to purify or clean it. It is the third pillar of Islam. You pay 2.5 % of your earnings to the needy (The amount of zakat = the value of goods in hand + cash assets + recoverable debts – debts x 2.5 percent.) beyond what your nisaab is. (Nisaab is the minimum earnings for a living) Some very fundamental questions arise in our lives in times which have no parallel -
· Where do you place your trust? · Where is the truth? · What is my belief? What does my heart say - Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. What rises and ebbs is the surface above; What matters really is the soil within; Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. Chaos and confusion is the storm above; Stay, stay for a breath trust the stillness within; Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. A cloud of panic wraps the senses tight; It matters not the sight; not the hearing; not the smell; not the taste; not the touch; Recognize - nothing binds the sixth sense within. Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. Fear grips the flow of trust and courage Transcend for the spirit and soul knows only the wings. Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. Its fog you think that mugs the mind; Blossom for there is only clear ground; What emits is unmistakable color, clarity, and light; Suspend time, Suspend feelings; It is time to shift into a witness space; Dissolving all else which matters not; It is time to gear into a quiet pace. |
