Conscious Aging Women April 2025

How does being conscious of the body-mind-Spirit connection help us to improve our physical health and possibly avert a more serious physical-Spiritual problem?

This is a story that was told to me and helps me better understand the theory "we are all one." Hopefully, you will find it interesting and helpful.

This person, I will call her Donna, had noticed that when she ate something that she was allergic to, such as nuts or certain fruits, the skin around her lips would turn red, get chapped and the skin would break open. When she stopped eating the substance, her skin would heal.

One day she noticed that the skin around her mouth was getting red and chapped. She tried changing her diet to see if she could understand what was causing the redness, but there was no answer. Finally, she began asking her intuition what was causing the problem. After a few weeks of asking, she received the answer that she needed to watch her language.

When we speak out, we are sending energy and emotion into the environment towards a person or a situation. If we are swearing or judging that person or situation, that energy/emotion not only is directed toward that person or situation, but it comes back to us like a boomerang.

Spiritual teachers have told us that "language is powerful", "words are powerful". As we become more conscious of ourselves, our intentions, our words, we, too, become more sensitive to energy and emotion, ours and other peoples'.

When Donna first heard her intuition tell her to become more conscious of her language, she thought it was ridiculous. But, then she started to be more aware of her use of words, and found after she had decided to become more aware of her language, the skin around her lips started to heal. Though she still uses "incorrect" language, she is beginning to catch herself doing it and corrects herself. The condition of her skin hasn’t totally healed, but it is healing. She believes that the condition will completely heal, when she has changed her language.

Many doctors have stated that they believe that stress has a great deal to do with chronic medical problems that are so prevalent in this current time.

Dr. Candace Pert and Dr. Bruce Lipton have done research showing that our emotional states produce hormones that flood our bodies and cause stress ,and can even turn on and off our genes.

Perhaps, it is time to look at what our speech can cause, not only to the target of that speech, but to ourselves. We do live in a "cause and effect world" so what effect does our unbridled speech have on us and others? We can see what effect public figures have on people when they speak. We, too, have that effect even though it is harder to see and undertand.
