The Medicine Within

In the Western world, medicines are called drugs. We are prescribed synthesized replications derived from nature. Isolated chemistry. We medicate to heal symptoms, not the underlying issue which is fundamentally energetic: Psychically, spiritually, physically, mentally, generationally.

In other parts of the world, medicine is sacred. Their studies, their practice spans thousands of years. Some of this knowledge is lost or forgotten, others misunderstood when applied within the context of modern science.

Yet medicine is whole. It is not just popping a pill or downing some herbs. Medicine is connection with Source. Whether that be Jesus, or God, Higher Beings, Ancestors, or a Knowing that we are but an image of Spirit. A copy of the Whole. A child of the Universe. A child of Mother Earth.

[breathe out]
I remember. Now.

Many blessings,
