THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF DIS-EASE

To sin means 'to miss the mark'. To stop ‘sinning’ we need to be aware of what is taking us off target and learn how to practice health.

Sins of Dis-ease Susceptibility:

1. apathy - abdicating responsibility for health

2. procrastination - failing to meet one's inherent human needs

3. negativity - focusing on dis-ease and giving it attention

4. avoiding - ignoring warning bells and suppressing symptoms

5. dismissing - having contempt or disregard for what is natural and what is needed

6. gullibility - actively choosing to open oneself to toxicity without regard for consequences

7. neediness - gaining benefit from dis-ease

How to 'aim' better with practice:

1. courageousness - decide to actively take our health into our own hands

2. consciousness - identify the gaps in our inherent human needs and fill them

3. diligence - focus on health, cultivate healing, nurture well-being and nourish ourselves body, mind, heart and soul

4. studiousness - learn the language of our body, listen to it and give it what it is asking for

5. reverence - embrace the nature of life and accept the creator’s medicine

6. mindful - choose not to actively invite or allow toxicity into our lives (physically and metaphysically)

7. truthful - go within, explore how the dis-ease is serving us and find our way back to personal empowerment

Some days are harder to stay on target than other days, it’s ok.

That’s just life, everything waxes and wanes.

The practice is simply that, a practice.

We must focus on what is working, on learning more and growing and acknowledge our progress along the way.

Both our losses and our gains inform us of how to aim better and better, until we ‘hit' the bullseye.

And even then, after that we must remember to keep practicing!
