You hear this ‘mind/body’ connection thing all the time. Wait, don’t close your browser yet!

This past few years-ish, I’ve noticed a ‘thing’ that’s happening. I’ll just call a ‘vibrational pull’ towards positive, good, better, peace, balance.

Can I be honest? Here’s goes…

There comes a point in your life where you’ve just had enough. Enough bullshit, enough imposter syndrome of thinking you are something you’re not or wish to be, enough consuming of crap to buy more crap to show it off to the people who tell you they are you’re friends but you rarely see, enough masquerading with relationships that you lead and you rarely get anything back in return. If you’ve not had one of these things happen to you, you’re either a saint or too young to drive yet. If you have had one (or more) of these things fall into your lap, welcome to the club.

But…there’s hope.

You see, once I began to explore what I’m about, what really really floats my boat, learned from people that have had success in their crafts, had the deep desire to grow, and believed in my core that new/different was worth the trip, things began to shift in my life for the better.

…and queue up Alicia Keys

I don't need your opinion
I'm not waiting for your okay
I'll never be perfect, but at least now I'm brave
Now, my heart is open
And I can finally breathe
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
Don't be mad, it's just a brand new time for me

The Law of Vibration

There is this universal law called the law of vibration. Once my body was at a higher energetic state of being, I began to pull higher energetic events, people, and outcomes into my world. True story, bro.

It’s started with believe, desire, daily action, and…wait…RESULTS. Something was happening on the inside which I didn’t even realize. I was becoming a higher vibrational human. You’re probably now thinking I’m all ‘woowoo’ and new agey, but whatever. It’s whatever, because I know it happened to me and I know it can happen to you too if you put your mind to it.

So I did a bit of research. Let’s assume that all living things hold a vibration or frequency, including people, nature, and food. Now let’s assume that who we’re friends with, how we react to situations, how we interact with nature, and what we ingest all factor into the life we live.

Some very smart scientists have concluded that living elements can be measured and the measurement stick is in what they call hertz (Hz) or bioelectrical energy. Healthy human bodies operate at between 62 – 72 Hz. When this frequency drops, our immune systems are compromised. Disease starts at less than 62 Hz. One hertz is one cycle per second of energy flow that is constant between two points.

Food and the Impact of a High Vibrational State

If our bodies are vibrational energy holding tanks, why are people surprised that when they fill their tanks with so-called ‘food’ that is the farthest thing from containing high-octane nutrients, their body doesn’t respond with positive outcomes?

Ponder these:

• How can you attract high energy when you are continually filling your body with crap masked as ‘food’?
• How can you perform like a refined race car when you feed your body like it was a dump truck?
• Why do you think you will attract, be, and blossom into, a highly successful person if your temple is bathed with chemically and/or pesticide-laden junk that changes who you are, how you feel, and how you respond in this life at a cellular level?
• If your blood cells replace themselves every three to four months, your muscle cells replace themselves about every six months and your brain cells take a year or more to replace themselves, wouldn’t it make sense to use high octane foods so when your body is a new entity every few years, it’s the best one it could be? How about those people you’re hanging with? Or that job you have? It’s called a lifestyle and all of it is served up to you in the form of your body.

So what are these ‘high vibrational’ foods? Examples include:

• Pure and filtered water
• Superfoods (examples: spirulina, wolfberry, mangosteen, ashwaganda)
• Nuts and seeds
• Whole grains
• Unaltered, Non-GMO foods
• Fermented foods
• Live enzymatic properties
• Grass-fed, pasture-raised protein
• Organic vegetables and fruits (in season to align with nature)

And the anti-thesis bad boys?

• Sugary, white-flour based concoctions (people consume 185 pounds per person per year of sugar alone)
• Anything boxed or commercially canned
• Alcohol
• Inorganic coffee or coffee that has not been mycotoxin tested
• Soda
• Microwaved foods
• Frozen-packed foods
• Hormone-injected, feed-lot, accelerated growth, antibiotic-laden, GMO-corn fed meats
• Pharmaceutical or over-the-counter medications
• Pasteurized milk

Fancy This

Disease, virus, fungi, bacteria, etc cannot live in an environment that is satisfying all it’s nutrient requirements so if you want to avoid any of these, focus on nutrients, nutrients, nutrients. And you might just need to find them outside of your ‘eat clean’ food supply [another blog post soon].

So I ask, if your body is ‘off,’ is that a sign that there is need to change? Your body speaks to you daily and craves nourishment.

When you steer away from the low energy to a high vibrating state of being, you will, overtime, see a physique that is lighter, more dense, more focused, and balanced. A healthy physique is the core to all other outcomes. How do I know this? Because I’ve lived it.

Angels Amongst Us

Now let’s just throw in what happened to me repeatedly in August and September during the events leading up to, and surrounding my dad’s death this year.

During random times, I would look at my phone or be in the car and look at the temperature and there they were. Ones. Zeros. In different combinations. Over and over. It’s said that this means that angels are with you. High vibrational state?

You can’t be in a low vibrational energetic state to be receptive to the spirit.

Mind/Body Connection

I read and hear about people all the time wanting to know what their life purpose is or want to find ‘passion.’ In all honesty, those secrets start to unravel, the minute you get serious about a healthy physique. Until then, tick tock and things stay status quo.

Stop starting over. Stop thinking that because you have kids or are a certain age, that life is doomed to be lived a certain way. Stop the crazy train of thinking doctors will take care of you. Just stop it. Vote for yourself. You deserve it. I deserved it.

You Promise me Something, Okay?

As Jenny in Forest Gump said, “Listen, you promise me something, okay? Just if you’re ever in trouble, don’t be brave. You just run, okay? Just run away.” Run away from the nonsense. Run away from thinking it’s okay to live of life of feeling like crap. Run away from thinking you are doomed to disease and at the mercy of pharmaceutical drugs. Run towards a life of understanding how your body works and thrives. Run towards a healthier you.

So, yes, there’s a mind/body connection. The body goes where the mind wants it to. Where’s your mind at? Is it a BFF with your body or an enemy?

This stuff isn’t easy — it’s messy. But one of the most satisfying things I’ve discovered is to live in a world where each day there is peace.

I leave you with this gem from Lady Antebellum.

You will notice me
I'll be leaving my mark like initials carved in an old oak tree
You wait and see
Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gogh
Cure the common cold
I don't know but I'm ready start cause I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I've been given
And I wanna try
To touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less
Than something that says "I was here"

Gratitude for all those that listen and peace to those that need more time. I’m here to help when you’re ready.

So here’s to starting your engine and hearing it purr.

Vibrate on, friends.  Be guided by light and love.
