Summer Months and the Qualities of IC: 3 Things You Can Do

Summer Months and the Qualities of IC:  3 Things You Can Do

Hot and cold temperature symbolEverything that we observe whether it’s our body or the world around us can be viewed as either a wave or a particle  When it’s a particle we see the world as reassuringly solid and palpable  From this world view we see things around as molecules; but when the world is seen as a wave our view changes  The world is seen as vibrating pulsating energy

These vibrational frequencies are identified as money, struggles, obstructions to what we want, the passion of life itself  Biologically vibrational frequencies are what make us up as an identifiable body in space

In the allopathic medical tradition measurement of molecules or their molecular arrangement is how disease is both detected and serves as a monitor for the effectiveness in treatment   In contrast in the energy science medical disciplines imbalances that lead to disease  is based on a disturbance of vibrational frequencies in the body called qualities

As I’ve written in the past the qualities prominent in the IC bladder pain syndrome are hot and mobile(of the total of 20 contrasting qualities, eg hot and cold, mobile and static, heavy and light etc)  So in IC, IBS, GERD, fibromyalgia, vulvodynia, and chronic prostatitis these qualities play important roles in the disease process

The Hot Quality of Summer

So from the above it would not be surprising that hot weather is problematic for IC  You see, the quality that affects the physiology from a energy science perspective doesn’t have to be ingested   If you are exposed to hot weather the energy body absorbs that quality as if you ingested it

The difference between ingesting the hot quality and being environmentally exposed to hot is that when ingested that hot qualitya  remains with you to be processed over a 35 day period whereas if you’re simply exposed to the quality and its effect goes away after exposure

But what happens if you work in a hot kitchen for your occupation  Then day in and day out, week after week, month after month the hot quality exposure is consistent and persistent  Then over time it will be like you’re ingesting the hot quality every day and indeed it will have a physiologic impact

Compounding Influence of Qualities

So you feel pretty good after that cup of coffee so no big deal….didn’t have any influence on you, right?  Well, the energy science would say that anything that is taken in has an effect and that there is a compounding effect that takes place when coffee is taken, hot weather is thrown into the equation, perhaps a cheeseburger with ketchup,etc etc   This compounding effect produces the flares

You see, it’s not just one choice that brings about the flare but a multitude of choices that go back 35 days  That’s why it’s actually quite fallacious to say that the choice made yesterday caused the flare today  The flare is actually the cumulative body response of many different choices that have been made over at least the last month

And this doesn’t take into consideration the level of the say the hot quality in the body before the ingestion  Say the level of the hot quality is a 5 and it takes a 10 to get a flare  Well then, you have a cushion   You could do a number of different things to provoke and not get a flare until you reach 9 then the hot day is the straw that breaks the proverbial camel’s back

Lastly for some the flares for the above reasons don’t occur during the hot time of year  They occur after the summer mounting up time and in the fall one is more predisposed to the flare  It’s much like the spring cold which is just a physiologic release of all the buildup of the heavy qualities that developed during the winter months

Staying Cool

1  The obvious is not to expose yourself to heat unnecessarily, whether it be at the beach, work, or  at home  Look for ways to cool off your local environment

2 Pay close attention to what foods y0u are taking in during the summer months(icdiet.com) and particularly use cooling foods such as fresh cilantro or coconut

3  Use cooling herbs such as mint, cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric, wintergreen in cooking foods

Just being aware of the hot quality can go a long ways to prevent buildup of the hot quality and the flares it produces
