Nourish Wholeness

Nourish Wholeness
excerpt from: Abundantly Well: Seven Medicines

Nourishment is the basis of health and the fuel for healing.
Nourishment is more than what we eat and drink.
Sights, sounds, smells, sensations, emotions, and energies, meals, stories, ceremony, safe space, affection, honesty, and beauty nourish us. Lifestyle Medicine is choosing what we allow in.
How simple Step 3 would be if we had only to look on the light side and concern ourselves with joy and ease and the absence of problems.
Abundant health is wholeness. Wholeness includes our shadows, rages, fears, and mourning cries. Opposites intermingle and engage to create health/wholeness/holiness.
We love all of ourselves. We nourish and strengthen all aspects of ourselves: good/bad, positive/negative, attractive/ugly, sane/crazy.
When we encounter “difficult” feelings — abandonment, betrayal, deprivation, inadequacy, jealousy, desire, greed, rage, embarrassment, loss, fear, revenge - Step 3 advises us to “feed the demons.”
Nourish those emotions, listen to them closely rather than try to shut them down. Respond to their needs.
If given a safe home in us, unsavory aspects paradoxically nourish the best parts of us and we become abundantly well.

Herbal Novice

Hi Susun.

I know nothing about herbs and infusions, but after finding your site, I am so interested in starting to learn.
What do you suggest for someone who knows absolutely nothing regarding herbs but has a strong desire for a more naturally healing lifestyle?
For instance, what should be my first book purchase, etc?

Thanks so much,
Melissa

 

Hi Melissa,

Welcome! We are glad that you found us. If you are just beginning, an excellent place to look at would be Susun’s free online course. It covers infusions along with other preparations such as medicinal vinegars, etc. and it has a lot of resources.
You can sign up for it here: http://www.herbalmedicinehealing.com

If you are looking at books, definitely the one to start with would probably be Susun’s Healing Wise.

You might want to work your way through her videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wisewomantradition

Go ahead if you are not doing so already and begin the herbal infusions… start working them into your day.
