TEMPERING SELF CRITICAL (from Ayurveda & Greek Medicine)

Study Digestion

Master Personalized Wellness with these Diet, Lifestyle & Herbs Certification Courses

God gives each of His children many gifts - beauty, intelligence, athletic skill, artistic creativity, charity, social grace, and many others.

Yet when we look in the mirror we see our soul - our very being - is more precious than any of these things. Our gifts of beauty, wealth, or power can never measure up to this inner dignity.

This gap between the value of our soul, and the outward expression of it, is a constant source of pain and striving.

We all strive to measure up to this inner dignity, and that is not a bad thing, so long as we remember to temper self-criticism, and temper it with a healthy appreciation of this inner worth.

Ayurvedically, criticism in all forms implies the liver is stimulated. Remedies to either build or cleanse the liver may be helpful.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

SELF CRITICAL IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
