The Ocean as a Balancing Agent.

For many years people have been going to the beach for entertainment. To whine down from a long week or a summer past time. Personally living in a small island in the caribbean, going to the beach was as common as taking a shower.
Sea water is composed of mainly salt ions and traced minerals and some particulate metals. Our bodies are composed of about 65% water, in that mix we find salts, proteins, minerals and metals.
As you may have heard our bodies can be balanced by metals. This is possible do to our intricate balance of traced metals in our bodies. The flow of metals in our bodies helps our circulatory system flow with ease. This action helps us feel softer and at ease, making everyday and more complex tasks easier to manage.
The ocean is our natural water based magnet. It can help us concentrate our inner energies. Going to the beach is more helpful to our health than going to chlorine filled public pools. Its a stress free environment where you can socialize with your friends or make new ones.
As with any outdoor health activity you must always be prepared. UV light from the sun can cause skin cancer if overly exposed, specially if your skin isn't used to it regularly. Always where a natural based sunblock or wear a wet suit. Natural based sunblocks our easier on our skin and don't clog your pores with unwanted chemicals. After sun exposer a nice shower is always a must, but remember to apply a natural moistening cream like kiss your skin or any natural based product containing aloe vera and vitamin E.

The sea is our friend and some even say we came from the sea. Its always good to head to the beach, soak in the salty waters and the suns rays.

When we get sick Mother knows best and therefore we must always listen to our Mother Nature when we are ill.

Medicine at its Roots

Medicine is an intricate part of society. Without it we would give in to Disease and Pre-mature death. Thanks to our (US/PR) Public and Environmental Health system we don't come in to the ER with conditions that are the #1 killers in the world like Water Poisoning and Malnutrition. But in a world full of commodity and flashy colored pills and liquids we have lost the true nature of what really was to be healthy and in the Physicians stance, what really meant to be a Healer. In todays pharmaceutical industry millions of dollars are spent on Biological, Chemical and Physical Research to find the next new 'Drug". Many of these miracle pills usually had a plant base but sadly the line of medications that we have been given for 20+ years are purely artificial. Our bodies are divine ! We have been created to create and to survive. Our bodies defenses are to admire and "aww" at. We can withstand millions of daily attacks of Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and Parasites. If it weren't for our divine bodies we would literally be sick daily or not last very long in this planet.

As Napoleon ones said :" Water, air, and cleanliness are the chief articles in my pharmacopoeia."

Our Creator has given us an Environment compiled of all that we need to survive. The Sun gives us energy, plants give us food and Medicine and our Knowledge has given us the power to thrive and to conquer and we have become the Largest Species of this planet and not to mention the ones who "Control it".

We must try to ween ourselves from a lifestyle full of drugs, processed foods, and unhealthy habits to reach an optimal level of consciousness and health.

Just because we Control the Planet doesn't mean we Own It !

A simple exercise that helps me get in tune with my inner self and with all the external factors that compromise our home called Earth, is to STOP, CLOSE YOUR EYES, BREATH, and LISTEN... Listen to your surroundings, listen to the wind, listen to the animals, listen to yourself ! Ones you have Listened you can now Speak, you can now Act, and you can now Be.

Healthy habits like holding a Natural Diet, "Green" Living, Humanitarianism, Sharing, Helping, and Listening make all the Difference when it comes to Health and your place in the Circle of Life.

So always remember to Listen before Speaking !

God Bless U All !
