A prescription of wilderness…
I’ve been a health coach, nutritional therapist, trauma informed therapist, herbalist and more for many years and as the years have rolled on by, I have gained a deeper understanding of what is going on with our health and happiness and here are my conclusions…
- A deficiency of nature
- An allergy of pushing, pleasing and perfectionism
- An intolerance of a society designed to make us think we are unworthy and not enough and need to buy into whatever the next thing is that’s meant to ‘fix’ that
- A malnourished wild side
- A lack of understanding how important other fuels (water, air, light, earth, thoughts, and environment) is to us
- An excuse of genetics
- Medicinal systems profiting from people’s illnesses not health
- Blaming fats/proteins for what sugars/carbs have done to us
- The myth that many ailments and illnesses are unhealable
- Going against our true nature as human beings
What I find myself doing more and more is writing prescriptions for the wilderness. As I talk and email clients we find ways in every day no matter what their health is doing right now to connect back to the wild inside and the wilderness out there.
The ‘healing’ does not come from supplements, protocols, programs, superfoods etc (although some of these sometimes have a place), the real healing comes from embracing the wild inside once more.
Walking barefoot, whispering to trees, dancing in the rain, watching the sunset, rising with sunrise in the eyes, sun on the skin, fresh air in the lungs, mineralised water, living to the rhythm of our cycles and the seasons of life, feeding ourselves locally, fuelling ourselves with earth, air, water and fats, living in a more traditional way, remembering we are mainly made up of microbes, listening to the whispers of our nervous system and the nervous system of nature, embracing all that is wild inside whenever we can however we can, where we are right now.
Focusing always on what we can do instead of what we feel we cannot!
The wild is calling us all back to be healed!
