Why do animals heal faster than us?

This picture is of a beach I walked on along the coast of Oregon. The wind gusted across the sand over and over. This repeated action created large drifts and intricate patterns.
 
I clomped through one drift effectively stopping the pattern...for the moment. We all know that the wind will quickly fill in my footprints if I don't do something to stop it. 

This is what unedited thoughts are like. The more you think something over and over, the larger, more intricate and complicated the story in your head. It becomes an ingrained pattern that seems real to you.

Sure, you can stop the pattern by thinking something else. But a single thought without more thoughts just like it is like me clomping through the drift once. The dominant pattern will just recreate.
 
So, what does the pattern create if it’s a dominate negative thought you feel in your body over and over?  
It can create dis-ease because the body is truly a series of chemical actions and reactions. Chemicals run the body—stress hormones and joy hormones. If the dominant story in your head is about fighting something or someone, blaming something or someone for how your life is, or judging everything in a negative one-sided way, you are going to be out of flow with the natural order of life.

When you fight, you are setting up resistance in the body. You are at war with the very thing inside you which your own body created from cells, water, minerals, etc. But it is still your body. Saying you want to fight something means you are at war with it, not peace. You are calling it wrong and saying it shouldn’t be there. 

This is fantasy. It’s not about thinking it “shouldn’t” be there—it already is.

This is why it takes longer for humans to get over illness than animals. We internalize our fantasy and try to resist reality. We don’t heal as fast because we’re addicted to stories and keep retelling them making whatever is wrong. Animals do none of this. They are always in present reality.

Love is the acknowledgement you are on the same side with your body and recognize whatever is going on inside is part of your body for the moment. Learn from it. Ask your body what it wants you to know. Ask your body if it has any messages for you. Ask it what it needs to feel better. Love and appreciate your body and all the things it does for you. Be gentle with it. Understanding. Patient. Start thinking new and wonderous thoughts about your body so it has a better pattern to build from.

Another powerful way to help the body release negative, harmful patterns is breathwork. This past Saturday’s class was life-transforming. Some of the participants shared that it was so much more expansive and regenerative than they could have ever imagined. Others felt their loves ones beyond the veil with them, supporting them by holding their hands throughout class. Others felt so light like they were floating because they released so many toxins. 

And all they had to do to heal was breathe.

If this feels like your kind of healing, the next breathwork class will be Saturday November 2 in Red Wing at 9:30am. 10 people max.
