Giving birth to consciousness
This is inspired by a conversation that happened with a friend of mine last week. Do we have enough health and wellness practitioners? Do we have enough alternative healers? The short answer is no, we do not have enough. The long answer is we are far from balancing the scale. If we look at the health and wellness industry field and compare it to the unconscious industries, food, pharmaceuticals, media and our working environments we will see that we are quite a ways from balancing the scale. Just walk into the grocery store, the liquor store or pay attention to the number of fast food joints and bars filling up on a regular basis within Toronto. There is a lot of evolution that is required to move ourselves towards a higher vibrational playing field, towards living a more conscious life.
What is consciousness? Consciousness is to be in the present moment, to make decisions in the now for the now. It’s hard, I know. Even after all these years of my own evolution, I have my own moments of unconsciousness. It’s a given in the big city filled with delicious temptations. I always say I dance between the two worlds. For me personally, it’s about dancing in the conscious world most of the time and hopefully one day, permanently.
I know when I spend time in unconscious consumption, it puts me in a depressive state of mind and body. The wrong foods, processed sugar or a night out drinking with the boys. The moment is amazing but, the following day or two, I’m floating around in a comatose state. As my friend Anam says, we are borrowing happiness from tomorrow.
There is a new list of growing healers (i.e. Naturopaths, Nutritionists, Energy Healers, body workers, Meditation and yoga teachers etc…) that are not recognized by the expired mindset of governments and insurance companies, simply because of the financial impact it would have on those currently dominating the markets (i.e. Food, Medical, Pharmaceutical Industries etc…). Those in power in the present moment are all about the short term game. I don’t blame them. Change, regardless of how micro or macro is difficult, because its results, regardless of how much planning is done on the backend, are scary and unknown. With that said, an unknown future is better then a stale and expired present.
Because many are choosing careers in alternative healing, it seems like there are many but when we look at the bigger picture we are not even close. When more and more of these new health and wellness practitioners flood the market we will then see a shift in support from governments and corporations that are responsible for our well being because at present not everyone can afford to pay beyond what they are covered for and they take the drugs developed by the pharmaceutical industry and delivered by the medical industry because thats what our taxes and insurance companies cover. It’s that simple.
So how do we get insurance companies and governments to use our hard earned money that invests more into these proven holistic approaches? By encouraging the development of more practitioners and developing an open mind.
Alternative healing is still very much a new concept in todays world and if we are to begin shifting the collective mindset I encourage you to explore the alternative ways of healing and living for yourselves. We are heading in the direction of old and new, east and west colliding in the most beautiful way possible, but there are many decisions that need to be made that will result in either the evolution of humanity or the devolution of humanity.
Presently, Earth is like a mother trying to give birth to a new baby. This babies name is consciousness. It’s many of the above practitioners I listed who are the doctors surrounding the earth, encouraging it to push and holding the mothers hand. We see the head, we hear the cry, but we have work to do before the full body of consciousness is delivered.
It’s not about past religions
It’s not about the leaders of the past
It’s not about holding onto the expired systems
It’s about you and me
Lets give birth to this fucking baby.
Let consciousness scream, dance and play with us.
There are those who are fighting this birth but we can tip the scale. We need to pay attention to our 'SELF'. To nurture our own abilities, to discover and unlock them.
Where to begin? Begin with being conscious of where you place your mind. The evolution of humanity depends on it.
No pressure.
