A teaching of pause and … shingles
The vagaries of everywhere
meet in a blue wander,
a teaching of pause
and twinkle.

Recently I came “down” with a case of shingles. Thanks to the varicella vaccine we now get more outbreaks of shingles. Anyway, no fun, but when looking at the rash erupting into blisters on my belly I did not panic. I did see perfect, beautiful skin underneath. It may be a first for some of you to read about this, but it came naturally for me to thank my body elemental* for its excellent job in providing protection, and working with my vision on transforming the affected skin . I also thanked my body elemental* for helping my body release toxins through this expression of shingles, referred to as a virus. The word virus has its roots in Latin, and its original meaning is poisonous secretion. I take this to mean that a virus provides the body with opportunities to eliminate toxins, and to give the immune system a boost.
Physical life on earth today comes with the territory of contacting toxins on every level, whether environmental, physical, emotional or mental. Occasionally we need cleansing. I ignored an intuitive message to do a juice cleanse and take some rest. The busy body in me just thought: “Later, I have to do this, that and the other first”. Hence the shingles. Now I was forced to take a breather to recover. Intuitively I gravitate toward nature and natural remedies, so I found ways to do a nutritional intervention (cut out all sugars including fructose and lactose, as well as wheat and other high gluten grains, eating whole, clean, as organic as possible foods), took high doses of Vitamin C, an elixir (vibrational remedy) to support the process, and used coconut oil on the rash. The oil immediately relieved the stinging and itching. If you google “coconut oil benefits” you’ll be surprised what an amazing nutrient and beauty treatment it is.
The elixir helped me go deeper and have a look at what other stresses in my life caused my immune system to need a boost. It took three days before symptoms subsided. And another seven days, every day of which I marveled at the miracle of the human body and its resilience, before my belly looked like mine again. Never lost sight of the vision of that beautiful skin underneath as I witnessed the process of transformation. And the stress factors? I found ways to eliminate most of them, as they were my creation to begin with.
When talking about nature spirits we always look around in nature. But you have one right inside your body! It is called the ‘body elemental’ and is actually situated within your etheric body. The function of this body elemental is to first build the form of your body, through the process of conception and gestation, help it grow and mature. They stay with a person until the life expectancy of the individual terminates. The body elemental is a highly developed spirit being of the earth element.
The body elemental is responsible for the well-being of your body. It manipulates the energies from nature and from our higher bodies to make them suitable for the etheric, and therefore the physical body, in this way keeping the energy levels up for every cell and organ in the body. This helps your body to function properly in the physical realm in your everyday life so that you may fulfill a greater life purpose in the outer world. Therefore the body elemental is instrumental in aiding in any self-healing process. It knows the blueprint of your atomic/molecular structure right down to the DNA/RNA cellular level because the Body Elemental helped create your very physical body as a house for the soul. It knows exactly where the trauma and the memories have been stored and holds the roadmap to pinpoint the locations that contain the problems. It is able to retrieve the information and release the ‘know-how’ of how to best facilitate self healing or healing for others.
The body elemental can be contacted by meditation, or in a healing session, to help with the healing process and in keeping the body healthy. As with all elementals, or nature spirits, you have to approach your body elemental with respect. Do not expect it to do all the work, you have a big part to play in keeping yourself healthy by what you eat and drink, and by your life style.
Apparently, the body elemental sits in a place between the solar plexus and heart chakras, connecting the soul and body to the divine mind elemental which sits above.
