SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DIS-EASE
All dis-ease which manifests in the physical & Mental bodies to us in the western culture comes in via an unknown source. Though often it has already revealed itself as something imbalanced within our emotional body. It may be experienced as depression or an impassioned expression of anger, frustration, or fatigue. It is in the emotional body where physical illness or disharmony takes root and is often an overlooked blind spot in our awareness, remaining unchecked there until more warning signs reveal themselves.
All disharmony is a definitive and affirmative call for attention, and its primary message is to let us know we have separated ourselves from both the inner and external nature and the infinite and organizing principal laws of the Universe. We have become out of step with the natural flows and rhythms of life. And in doing so, our inner and outer bodies have created this imbalance.
WHAT IS HUMAN DISEASE?
Human Disease comes when there is a conflict which occurs between the lower (the physical) and higher (spiritual) self, which first begins to take form in our emotional blind spot. – It is a call for help because our physical nature has become separate from the external forces of nature, and illness manifests due to a lack of wholeness. Most people look at the cause of illness at the physical level and assume the reason the body's biochemistry is out of balance is merely down to misfortune or fate.
We would accept that, rather than seeing how we have ingested the wrong foods or how we employ a strategy of negative thought processes & wounds arising from past situations, or we continue to allow our emotional state to pull us in different directions and to make the wrong choices. This attitude can isolate us and make us ill. Healing seeks to connect us to the spirits and forces of the Universe and to the invisible forces of the human body.
HOW CAN WE REGAIN HEALTH & WHOLENESS?
Reconnecting and experiencing the law of relationships.
Understanding the powers of Spirits of the Universe
Embracing the Invisible Forces within the Human body (known as The Orishas/Nustas).
Health represents the most direct path to spiritual, mental, and physical attunement.
We need to connect to nature and work with its laws, and understand that if we abuse them, they could destroy us.
WHO ARE THE ORISHAS/ANDEAN NUSTAS?
The Orisha/Nusta emissaries are energy forces of nature who come from the heavens. An Orisha is a manifestation of The Divine (God). Elemental forces or spirits that will give help in life, if they are petitioned and worked with, allowing us to achieve the destiny that God planned for us before we were born, and they dwell within human existence, as in almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of five elements: Water, Air, Earth, Fire and Spirit. All are necessary for existence, health, and wellbeing. Each Orisha within the internal and external bodies is tuned to one of the five elements.
It is common for an Orisha to have to wrestle with the human spirit to uplift and purify it. The Orisha are modes of vital forces that exist in the human spirit. To describe in terms of Eastern and Western cultures, they would refer to them as:
The Holy Ones – Sacred Entities – Prophets – Angels.
The Orishas are personal, cosmic forces that inhabit and energize the world of nature, in the forms of Minerals – Vegetables – Animals & - Humans - They are not separate but part of an organic whole. Each Orisha has control over specific aspects of the Universe, and some were around even before the Earth was created.
Each Orisha/Nusta Body has within itself energy centers which control the natural flow of all life force throughout a system of energy channels or streams, all of which emanate life force throughout the human internal organs, its tissues, skeletal structure, and cells.
The concept of wellness is holistic, and while we understand every human is made up of different parts of a physical and spiritual nature. Each part is deeply connected, and what affects one, affects all. Therefore, what may appear to be a physical/emotional ailment because it is exhibiting physical symptoms, pain, and illness, often turns out to be a spiritual illness.
