Your Body is Rare
You came into the world with specifics. You are a unique arrangement of cells, fluids, bones, colors, textures, energies, expectations, passed down traumas, and purpose. We are all human, but there is much variety within humanity. Yet, understanding these nuances can be challenging if we haven’t been shown how to identify them. We grew up in a culture that needed to generalize in order to serve a large population, so everything got categorized. In the health world if you don’t fit into these categories your complexity will be reduced and you’ll be shoved into one to maintain the system.
This is my personal rebellion - to fight against the generalization of humanity, especially when it comes to holistic health.
You’re more than your symptoms, you’re more than your gut microbiome, you’re more than your exercise or diet choices. You are both an energetic invisible and tangible visible being, here to make and give something to this world before you leave. Any time you forget that and leave your purpose, things in your body and your life and your soul will go awry.
Alignment is Everything
Dis-ease of the body, mind, and spirit, at all levels, is simply misalignment with your core self.
If you’re experiencing any imbalance or confusion or dysfunction, the first step is to remember or perhaps for most of us learn our true alignment.
This is where I have landed after years of pursuing all the layers of the health world and also getting to serve and witness many Sensitives in my practice. It always comes back here. I know that’s frustrating and can be tough to hear, but it’s the truth. Please don’t let yourself get caught up in the temptation of following one dramatic health answer to another. Drop everyone else’s opinions and uncover YOU.
Uncovering Your Core Nature
There are many systems and approaches to finding your core self. My current obssession is astrology mapping. Using a centuries-old system that continues to provide accurate data through multiple cultures and human eras catches my attention and earns my respect. I am tired of the roller coaster of trendy health fads. Whatever is demonized today will be the solution in 5 years. I’m no longer interested in the new killer toxin, healing food, short-cut treatment or “root cause” solution. I’m only interested in uncovering who YOU and I are meant to be, then focusing on increasing what’s meant to be and clearing out anything is not.
My Real Life Embodiment
I am living this right now. It’s not the easy road, that’s for sure. What started as a purely standard natural health journey back in 2008 with an old school IgG food sensitivity test led to a decade of trying everything under the sun to heal myself. In 2018 I became a “practitioner” and began helping others navigate the convoluted world of natural health. From Weston A Price to lab testing to muscle testing to vibrational therapies to nervous system regulation to radiation fear to mold detox to somatic releasing to fascial movement… I’ve journeyed through the last 15+ years of trends and “answers”. The problem is that these all put me into a deep hole of fear. I was out of control and simultaneously obsessively attempting to grasp control. I felt so vulnerable and frustrated and weary. When would it ever stop? How could I master my body and gain sustainable resilience? Underneath all these trends I kept coming back to this idea of individualization and understanding my purpose and unique physical wiring. It’s grown and built up especially over the last 2 years… it started with flower essences, then enneagram, and human design. Finally, I dug into the big one - astrology. I avoided it for as long as I could because of the warnings I’d received as a youth. Now, well as I said, I’m obsessed. I have been sitting on this one much longer than I normally do, but that’s because I didn’t want to bring it truly forward into my work and world until I knew it wasn’t just another passing phase. It’s BIG. It’s DEEP. It’s what I feel I’ve been looking for since 2008.
Astrology for Health
I value modern science and medicine, but it’s not yet reached a point of sustainability. It’s constantly revolving, as it should because it’s experimental. No matter how many clinical trials you run, it’s still susceptible to current bias and funding. Go where there is NO money. Unfortunately, our current scientific community is not that place.
Astrology on the other hand is incredibly accessible. Pull up your birth chart on any free site, like AstroSeek, and use Google or chat GPT to learn about your natural core. It’s about as objective as you can get and it’s one of the few sources that can actually map out everything about you. It’s truly holistic - revealing your unique emotional, physical, and spiritual expression.
Once you have your astrological map, you can look at the elements that speak to your physical body for direct guidance. BUT, also… living in alignment with the entirety of your map is what will create the environment for the physical change. Your body is the visible expression of your past and present emotional and lifestyle choices. Ideally, I suggest addressing both. Begin to gently reduce what does not match your true nature and increase what does in ALL areas of your life. Alongside this, you can start supporting and treating the areas of your body that need your attention. For the sake of keeping it simple today, let’s just look at the body part of astrology.
In ancient medicinal astrology, your body is organized into 12 zones. Each zone is ruled or attributed to a sign that carries certain characteristics and tendencies. It is also placed in a specific house/area on your map that influences how this sign plays out in your unique body. Specific areas in your map like houses 1, 6, 7, 8, and 12 all demonstrate areas that should be reviewed and potentially even supported regularly to prevent imbalances. There are also planets and points like your North Node (where your entire life should be focused) or Chiron (reveals childhood wounds impacting your present) or Saturn (often reflects causes of chronic illnesses) that can reside in these houses under these signs and provide further insight.
There are many layers to using Astrology for health, but that’s what we need and want. That’s why it has stood the test of time. Because you are not simple. You are beautifully complex and that is GOOD.
How to Use Astrology for Your Health
The main takeaway is that this system can tell you exactly where you may be vulnerable and where you may be blocked. For example, let’s say your map is showing a dominant pisces presence and your body is battling piscean syndrome. Well, then we know to immediately begin supporting your lymphatic system, regardless of your symptoms. You would be shocked to see that a multitude of your odd and hard-to-track or explain symptoms suddenly resolve, all by addressing one of your body’s core needs. Pisceans have slower lymphatic movement naturally, so incorporating daily fluid flow will clear any built-up infections or toxins and prevent future imbalances. Addressing your core can resolve alot of the seemingly overwhelming symptoms that can serve as distractions if you are not aware of how your body is meant to function.
Your body’s version of health will look different from everyone else’s too, so your baseline cannot be compared to others or generalized through social media, familial or medical standards.
When you know how you’re wired, addressing deeper chronic dis-eases also becomes simpler. Choices for further testing, therapies or treatment are clear. My favorite part is that the routes you choose will also be far more effective! You’ll see the results you’re looking for because you’re properly interpreting and matching your body’s needs, not just trying another trend that worked for your friend or that influencer practitioner.
Stop borrowing others’ misinformed confidence. Choose to build confidence in your own body.
