Mood:  happy

Hello everybody.  I've been doing much better than I had been before.  I didn't realize what bad shape I was in.  Now I'm living a much healthier and happier life.  I've gotten back more into my roots.  I have been recuperating from years of excessive stress...on a sabbatical, to say...and allowing myself time to rebalance and heal. I'm so grateful for the regenerating power of Life!

I've always believed it was the most basic right and true gift from God to be able to accomplish good health and a feeling of overall well-being.  I truly believe good health is a natural thing. 

Natural's not always easy, however, because we've learned to live incredibly unnatural lives, and that's how we get out of balance and lose energy and get sick so much of the time.  It's happened too often with me as it does us all.  It occurs often through trauma or ill-conceived ways.  (Of course even ill-conceived ways, I believe, begin with trauma somewhere.  Even birth itself is a trauma, considering we used to live effortlessly in the spiritual realm.) 

The most important thing is to love yourself, God and others....and to always love and stay true to the good in all life.  Living a life on this earth isn't easy.  It never has been and it never will be.  Sometimes we take on a lot in a lifetime in order to learn.  This is how it's been for me.  This might include extreme sadness and grief, but it also includes plentiful joy and an abundance of satisfaction and peace.

So all I can tell you is to live as close to the heart of your heart, and to live close to nature as was provided.  This will help you in all aspects of life.  Eat food as close to being in it's natural state as you can.  Raw organic fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, etc. are of course the absolute best.  Drink lots of pure water.  Stretch your body each day and move it in every way it will go.  I find this easiest to do in my own home with dance every morning to start.  This is good, too, because music is very healing in its own right.  It has the ability to make one feel happy or to release overburdening sadness from the heart just as well.  Take walks out in nature.  The forest, the meadow, the sunshine and all!  Love those that you love and bless those that curse you.  Love is the master cure.  Take time to commune with the God of your being, and give thanks for the goodness inherant in life.

These are the things I recommend for good health, and the most important food is your herbs.  Please visit my website at www.mynsp.com/eshelman and then ask me any questions you'd like to know by filling out the contact form on the site.  (There is no charge associated with this.)

Please watch the calendar on my website for I'll be posting many new wonderful things very soon, and you're more than welcome to join in on the learning and fun.  I wish I had time to write letters personally to all of my wonderful friends, or talk to you all on the phone.  I am doing wonderfully well on my journey to healing, so please don't worry for me but please pray for me and us all as I do. There is much to heal in this world and us all!  Enjoy the blessings of life...sing, love, dance, smell the beautiful fragrances of life, partake of good natural whole foods, herbs and clean water, breathe deeply, rejoice and take part in nature...and naturally good health will be the result.  Good health is a natural thing! Pain gets carried in the body as well as the mind.  The root causes need to be healed.

May blessings be abundant for you...
