Roots Of Healing

Be Good to Yourself

A friend of mine had to cancel a get together today. I had planned on cooking curry as that is one of their favourite meals of mine that i cook and had already started preparing the meat for a slow cook during the day.

They were not feeling great due to a spider bite and meds taken. Point is … they took their self-love and utilised it—needing to lay low—did not have the energy, thus looking after themselves. (Being kind and gentle to themselves)

Tip: Practice and do your best to not avoid, lie or ghosting.

It is almost always better to be honest about what is going on. True friendship should understand.

Self-love
Self-respect
Self-worth
Self-esteem
There is a reason they all start with ‘self’—you cannot find them in anyone else.

The Navel

Did you know why to put different oils in and on the belly button?

Our Navel (Nabhi), is an amazing gift that our Creator has given us. According to science, the first part created after conception is the navel. After it is created, it joins the mother’s placenta through the umbilical cord.
Our Navel is surely an amazing thing! All our veins are connected to our navel, which makes it the focal point of our body. The belly button is life itself!
The “Pechoti” is behind the navel, which has more than 72,000 veins. The total amount of blood vessels we have in our body is equal to double the circumference of the earth.

We knew that to lower the temperature to the babies, we put a cotton swab with alcohol in the navel, now we know that with oil, it’s better.
Applying oil in the navel heals the dryness of the eyes, poor view, the pancreas, the heels, and chapped lips, keeps the face bright, the hair healthier, for knee pain, the chills, lethargy, pain in the joints and dry skin.
(Please apply oil elsewhere before applying to navel as in cinnamon, as applying it neat can burn … adding a base oil is a good idea)

• Apply Neem Oil in your belly button – to get rid of stubborn pimples and acne
• Apply Almond Oil in your belly button – to help achieve a glowing face
• Apply Mustard Oil in your belly button – to get rid of dry, chapped lips. Will also keep your intestines moving to remove
  harmful bacteria but keep the good. Actually works as a mild detox.
• Keep alcohol dipped cotton on your belly button – to cure a cold, flu and a running nose. When a baby has stomach pain,
  we put a few drops directly in the navel and we give the massage around the naval a few minutes, the pain is cured.
  Oil works the same way.
• Keep brandy-soaked cotton ball on your belly button – to ease menstrual pain and cramps
• Sesame Oil is used for all types of joint pains. It is also known to strengthen bones. Many parents use in their
  children every night at bedtime.
• Use an equal amount of Mustard Oil And Ginger Oil For Upset Stomach, Bloating, Nausea and digestive problems.
• Using Warm Ghee improves blood flow to the nervous system and also enhances the immunity system. It cures constipation and builds a strong digestive system. It gives relief from joint pain.
• Thyme oil is anti-spasmodic, it helps relax your arteries and veins, lowering blood pressure and stress to your heart.
  It may also help strengthen and tone your heart muscles. : As a diuretic, Thyme oil may help your body to remove excess water, salt and toxins from your body, helping with weight, blood pressure, digestion, and more.
  : Thyme oil is an expectorant, which means it can help remove mucus from your airways and lungs.
  : Thyme oil is approved by Germany’s Commission E in the treatment of bronchitis, whooping cough, and upper respiratory inflammation.

Remember Thyme oil is a powerful compound and should not be used directly on your skin, as this can cause sensitization
and irritation. It must first be diluted with a carrier oil (like olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil)
Thymus Vulgaris Essential Oil 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade is what you look for.

• Castor Oil can be used for knee pain – At night before bed, put 3 drops of Castor oil in your navel and spread
  it 1.2cm around your navel.
• Mustard oil – for tremors and lethargy, pain relief in your joints and dry skin – At night before bed, put
  3 drops of mustard oil in your navel and spread it 1 and a half inches around your navel.

Why put oil in and around your belly button?

Your Navel can detect which veins have dried up and by putting oil, those nerves open them …
You can keep a small drip jar with the oil required next to your bed and place a few drops in your navel before
going to sleep. This will make it convenient to pour and avoid accidental spills.

The Joy of Silence

In a world full of worry, more people are seeking quiet time and finding the joy in silence.

We find ourselves wishing for more time and yet we have many time saving devices in place to aid us.  Yet we still feel rushed off our feet wishing for more hours in the day.  Days, weeks and months fly by so quickly and before you know it, we are in the next year looking back, we might say “where has the time flown”.

However, the problem is not a shortage of time – it is an overload of everything else.  There are many books to read, TV shows to watch but we can only read one book at a time or watch one TV show at a time.  We have multiplied everything but there is only one of us.

To enjoy your journey on earth, we need to work on minimising or stopping the continuous chatter about what we will never be able to read, watch, say and do, and start to think of how to enjoy the world within our boundaries.  To focus on the things we can do, rather than the hundreds of things we cannot do.

Several studies have shown that just 10 minutes of quiet time a day can reduce stress, improve our physical and psychological health and improve our sleep patterns.

Quiet time helps the mind to recharge

We need to carve out time for ourselves, whether it is via a book, meditation, listening to music or enjoying the view from your window.  A place where we are not craving, yearning, working, worrying or overthinking. The important thing is to switch off the buzzing in your mind.

A place where we are set to neutral and where we can just breathe, just be, just bathe in the simple contentment of being and not crave anything except what we already have.  Life itself!

You may also find that with time you get to know what calms your mind most effectively.

How do you quieten your mind?

I AM

Whatever comes after “I AM” starts the creation process.

If you truly believe in what follows these two powerful words, then you are already shaping your life to follow. When they are negative words, then it is going to hurt your morale. If they are positive words, then they are going to give you strength and a boost of confidence.

The good thing about these two words is that you get to control the outcome. If you tell yourself that you are strong, you are powerful, and you are capable, then you have already taken the first step into creating a better life for yourself.

Having the physical power to do something and taking action is only half of the equation. The other half of the equation comes from believing in your power and strengths. In order to achieve your dreams, you must first believe in your dreams. You must have the confidence in yourself that you can actually achieve them. Without truly believing in your ability to achieve your dreams, you will never have the confidence needed to turn these dreams into a reality.

Of course everyone wants to live a life of happiness, but people struggle with this because they don’t know how. To live a happier life, you first need to understand what your values in life are. From there, you need to put your attention to your values, and you need to give yourself the reinforcements necessary to achieve these values. By saying “I AM,” you are confirming that you believe in yourself and that you can achieve anything. That is a reinforcement that will help you succeed. You are putting your thoughts, energy, and confidence into your values. When you combine all three of these, the combination is incredibly powerful.

The ultimate goal of life is to live a happiest and best life possible. By saying I AM, you are retraining your brain to recognize your true potential. Ignore what others think about you, and focus on what you think about yourself. Be the unique and amazing person that you are, never stop chasing your dreams, and never doubt your abilities. Doubt is only an emotion of being scared. Take risks, live your life, and be whoever and whatever you want to be. – Michael Bonnell
