IC and Love: Sacredness of Healing

Divine LoveEvery healing tradition should have a philosophy and this is unfortunately missing in the matter science model  This is one of the major reasons why our current medical system has run a wayward course  It also explains why the energy science medical healing discipline has been around for 5,000 years

Self Love and Healing

The body has a purpose and that’s to be healthy  When we become imbalanced with a dis-ease such as the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia), in order for us to heal requires that we regain balance and harmony in the physiology  In that very act of regaining balance we attain not only health but it is an act of self love

But how does a healing discipline incorporate love in its tradition?

Philosophy means a Love of Truth

 When you see the Truth you experience Love…not the emotional petty type of love written about in romance novels but something far greater  Healing then is seeking Truth and finding Love because Truth and Love are one and the same
The philosophy of the energy science of Ayurveda is that our human existence is intimately spliced with Nature herself….with the universe or totality….with Love itself and therefore the Truth  When we seek the Truth we find Lovfe and healing becomes a love affair
Healing then implies a seeker of truth  Someone who seeks healing is one who is seeking Truth, one who wants to get to the bottom of the problem  Not a bandaid or another blind alley but rather wants to solve the problem, whatever it may be  When one seeks healing in such a system one becomes a lover, wanting to unite back to wholeness, a return to what one once was before one was sick

Love and IC

But what does this have to do with the IC bladder pain syndrome?
Actually quite a bit  Because a healing tradition based on philosophy understands how the healing occurs in the greater context…healing assumes not a myopic mechanical view of the problem at hand but   That is, how your problems are part of a larger picture  And how the larger picture when employed really accelerates the healing process
Literally when you use a philosophy based healing tradition your healing efforts take on a Divine perspective  You employ God to direct the healing process as you participate  When you become Love you heal because being Love is healing which becomes the supreme creative act

The Sacredness of Healing

 If you can’t find God in yourself you can’t find Her anywhere else
In all spiritual traditions that have been articulated on this planet over the millennia there are basic themes that are present  First there is a universal force or God  Secondly this God exhibits unconditional love which means that there is complete and total acceptance of what is at any one moment  Thirdly we are all aspects of this universal force or God  In other words we are first and foremost divine beings in human form
There are many expressions physiologically of the Divine but most commonly is seen as light typically in the 3rd eye or what is called our inner vision  Behaviorally we begin to accept life events as they are without wishing they were different  There is a distinct feeling that you’re surrounded by complete acceptance by all around you
This connection to our own divinity occurs when we experience silence which is often talked about as the gap…the space between thoughts or breath  The movement of the mind is the movement of breath so when the breath is suspended we experience our own divinity  By and by when one consistently practices this you begin taking on the characteristics of the Divine….you recognize yourself as the Divine or your very soul  This is a very real experience not some metaphorical journey and it occurs because philosophically we are the Divine
 When you connect with your own Divinity you become Love and healing is the reward  Not without work but definitely with direction that supports your healing because you have infinite faith and trust that everything is as it should be and that healing will take place in time  Notice healing from an energy science point of view is not “lay down and God will take care of you”  No, divine healing requires your participation  In so doing you surrender to Divine direction
“You are precious and infinitely loved more than you can possibly imagine  You are always safe  You are never alone  The unconditional and perfect Love of God neglects not one soul
Love is, without a doubt, the basis of everything  Not some abstract, hard-to-fathom kind of love but the day-to-day kind that everyone knows-the kind of love we feel when we look at our spouse and our children, or even our animals  In its purest and most powerful form, this love is not jealous or selfish, but unconditional”                                    Dr. Eben Alexander     Harvard neurosurgeon

In the world of Ayurveda the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic prostatitis, fibromyalgia) arises from a disturbance in the ability to digest food. This impaired digestion leads to toxic buildup that then leads to toxins collecting in areas outside the bowel. One of the areas where this buildup occurs in the pelvic nerves surrounding the large bowel. This leads to all the bladder symptoms that occur in IC such as urinary frequency, urgency, and episodic burning on urination but also the...

IC and Healing Expectations: Redefining What It Takes to Heal

AncientHealing for Modern Times

Would we think it unusual that someone involved in a severe car accident would walk out of the ICU in a couple of days looking well? In the same way would we think it ususual that someone with chronic disease would clear their symptoms in a couple of months?

In the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) illustrates various energetic imbalances in the energy mindbody while the matter science views the components of the syndrome as disease labels such as vulvodynia etc  When various energetic science therapies are used healing is elicited because therapies help correct the imbalance of qualities  For example, the qualities of hot and mobile over time get cleared from the body with therapies

It literally takes years to cultivate these imbalances due to unconscious lifestyle choices  Energy science work is not like taking an antibiotic for a few days and everything is better Wish it were that simple in the world of imbalances  But the question often arises as to how long do I have to do this work tp see benefits?

Foundational Therapies

Since all disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract(GIT) except for trauma nutrition that supports the energy constitutional makeup becomes foundational therapy for helping support a return to qualitative balance and eliminates imbalancing qualities in the GIT  For example if a VP has a diet rich in nightshades(tomato, eggplant, peppers) simply removing those from the diet can be an important step toward bringing balance

Observing the removal of incompatible food combinations is another foundational therapeutic step to aid the GIT to correct the imbalances of the hot and mobile qualities of the syndrome

Therapies that support improving agni(digestive power) also do this rebalancing because removing ama improves the rebalancing effort

But how long does it take for rebalancing?  Foods are instantaneous in terms of their effects in the GIT they have the most immediate impact on symptoms and within 7-10 days one can experience shifts in symptoms  But the time for these foundational therapies to do their magic is dependent upon how long the GIT has been imbalanced  The estimate is 2mo for every year of symptoms

 Advanced Therapies

There are clinical situations where the imbalance that was created is beyond simple nutritional work  In this setting there are more advanced therapies that are required in order to achieve the clearing of the qualitative imbalances developed  Typically the symptoms have gone beyond IC and have other aspects of the syndrome such as vulvodynia or fibromyalgia

Again these advanced therapies such as herbal formulas, basti management, and detoxification procedures are part of getting better but again require time  Oddly when the energy mindbody reaches this advanced stage of dis-ease the length of time remains the same…2mo for every year of symptoms, that is, if you’ve been having problems for 10 years then it will take one year and 4 months to progress to a symptom free state

Appropriate Expectations

So we can see that when we do energy science work to heal the IC syndrome it requires dedicated work on our part to maintain lifestyle changes that support the clearance  of the imbalances created  Unfortunately in life there is no quick fix  I think we all intuitively know that but we hope against hope that it’s not true

Another interference to doing this work is lack of clarity as to the decision making about whether this is an approach worth trying  Only you can decide whether the journey is worthwhile

IC and the Summer Time: 8 Suggestions to Avoid Increased Flares

IcebergThe energy science of Ayurveda states that all that we observe including our own mindbodies are made of vibrational frequencies and from unified field theory this is how contemporary physics sees our reality  There are 10 pairs of these frequencies called qualities and when they become increased in the physiology

For example the hot and mobile qualities become increased in the GIT(gastrointestinal tract) and may lead to the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) if the conditions are right  The quality of hot produce the burning sensations in the bladder on voiding, in the vagina and perineum, and prostate  The mobile quality helps disseminate the hot quality and pain but also is responsible for urinary frequency

As we discussed everything is made up of these qualities  They exist in us as well as outside us  So the hot quality in our environment can increase the hot quality in us

Summer time is a season when people lower their body temperature by sweating and drinking more  This causes agni to go down and the chances for ama to increase  We should be appropriate about fluid intake(40ozK, 60ozP, 70ozV)

So Stay Cool in Hot Times

If you have the IC bladder syndrome the summer time can be a risky time  And from this perspective it’s not the overheating type of feeling that can be problematic but just the exposure to the heat that can lead to problems particularly if the IC syndrome is present  But the good news is that the energy science gives you good antidotes to keep cool

Stay cool and don’t overheat  Avoid staying out in the hot sun

The energy of the sun is hot but the energy of the moon is cooling so moon bathing is something that can be done when it’s been a particularly hot day in order to bleed off some of the hot quality

Use of cooling foods such as cucumber or cucumber milk

Use coconut  Think tropical because Nature provides us foods that are valuable in hot climates

Avoid deep fried fatty foods due to the hot quality

Milk with cardamom and fresh ginger(milk is cooling like the moon’s energy)

Herbs to use with no ama: amalaki, brahmi, jatamamsi, shankapushpi, shatavari, chitrak, black pepper

Herbs to use if ama is present: mahasudharsan, neem, kutki, guduchi, kama dudha, pravel panchamrit

Each of these herb groups can be used with aloe vera gel which is also cooling and will direct the herbs to specific locations in the body

IC and What It Means As Chronic Disease: 5 Ways to Get Rid of Unhealthy Lifestyle Behavior Patterns(LBP)

Buffalo Slow DownIt’s estimated that 60-70% of people with the interstitial cystitis will resolve the problem spontaneously  The percentage probably goes higher for those who do simple nutritional work as explained at icdiet.com and foodsheal.com

So we are left with about 20% of the IC population who will go on to chronic disease who will display more than one of the disease labels of the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia)  This 20% represents the true chronic disease population who will need more change than just simple nutritional advice

Chronic Disease Means Chronic Management

Acute disease is short lived and the solutions are straight forward  But chronic disease management requires continuous ongoing treatment therapies which become a problem for us living in a Vata vitiated society who want our solutions yesterday

From an energy science point of view treatment guidelines revolve around those which center on lifestyle behavior patterns(LBP) which are the most difficult for us as humans to deal with  From an epigenetic view the reason for this is actually based on methylation groups that prevent us from changing easily  This methylation obstructs us from changing our LBP  Essentially unhealthy LBP are obstacles to health

Holocaust survivors have high levels of methylation and leave them mentally “scarred”  Unfortunately this methylated scarring becomes heritable whatever the traumatic event may be  But it brings up questions for us such as “Is agni or eating patterns heritable?”

The good news for us who are challenged by LBP’s that are not supportive for healing IC is remember that is takes just 8 weeks to reverse patterns not supportive of moving in the right direction  That’s right, 8 weeks to reverse those pesky methylation patterns that prevent us from changing to healthy LBP’s

What Makes a Healthy LBP?

Ayurveda, the energy science of healing, gives us guidelines for healthy living  Say we get up at 9am and go to bed at midnight  Ayurveda would say that it would be better to go to bed early and get up earlier  How much volume to drink during the day?  How much to eat at the biggest meal of the day? What are the best foods to bring about physiologic balance?

The LBP help us live our lives in balance because that promotes health and heals chronic disease  The above questions seem like they would have nothing to do with the IC bladder pain syndrome but from an energy science point of view they are all suggestions to bring about physiologic balance that will produce a foundation by which other therapies will build on the foundation of LBP

5 Ways to Deal with Pesky Unhealthy LBP

Yes, it’s possible to change those methylation groups leading to unsuccessful unhealty patterns or LBP  The reason that they work is that these activities produce mental clarity  Any technique as a matter of fact that induces more mental clarity will decrease “bad” methylation which can induce unfavorable LBP

1  Meditation is becoming a well known technique to quiet the mind  An active mind clouds our soul’s intelligence leading to poor decision making that leads to repetitive destructive LBP

2 Mantra work is the repetition of sounds that evoke DNA demethylation  Essentially the sounds said mentally to yourself bump off these unwanted methylated groups to bring about change in any LBP

3 Breath retention is a form of meditation but has the added advantage of improving agni and promoting love, compassion, and peace

4 Herbs can change over time behavior patterns because herbs work at the level of mind or DNA

5 Marma therapy directly works at the level of mind so unwanted patterns slip away and one is consciously directed in different directions
