acid/alkaline ...some morning thoughts

While in the shower I was thinking about acid/alkaline of the water from my well and how I note a difference after heavy rain has fallen. From this point my mind went on to think about Earth and how it is stressed from all the chemicals we have dumped into it and this makes it more acid…I see how the wild fire help to alkalize the soil through the ash and the cracking open of rock to release/break down and mineralize the soil...there is a theory that the ice age was a way of alkalizing the Earth by pulverizing the rocks and leaving huge mineral deposits. Volcanic activity has a similar effect. Excess rain helps to cleanse the soil by diluting the man-made added chemicals. Earth tries to rebalance/alkalize itself every which way it can. Our body is the same pattern as Earth. It tries to keep an alkaline balance internally by drawing minerals from organs, tissues and bones. I think back to when my mother died and the emotional shock I experienced was stressing my entire system/s thereby making me very acidic. The innate intelligence of the body to maintain its internal integrity drew from bone for calcium to help buffer the acidic state of my cells. As a result, I broke a tooth without major physical trauma being exerted. This is just a snippet of the fractal pattern that we live from. When we separate ourselves from clean air, clean water, clean food we separate ourselves from our health and our home within our physical matter (body) and from our home on Earth.

Look at the air we are breathing. It has decreased in volume of oxygen over the past 60 years. Why? Acidity! We have expelled a lot of toxic gases into the air and produced acid rain as a side effect. This acidity of the rain has impacted vegetation. I have hiked a lot of the trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and had noticed some of the trees looked like they were dying, particularly the dogwoods. I have since found out that they are being slowly poisoned by acid rain. This very same rain is soaking into the water table from which we draw our drinking water. Our food is grown in the same conditions we are living under. It is no wonder our state of health is rapidity declining! We have acidity every which way from breathing, eating and drinking from chemically unbalanced sources. This can only produce an acidic (read inflamed) , unbalanced body.

It is our personal responsibility to be conscious of our chemical design and our interdependency on the Universe, Earth and Nature. We begin to heal by alkalizing our cellular body through clean air/deep breathing (use plants to help cleanse surrounding air), clean mineral water from glass bottles, and bio-organically grown foods that have not been genetically engineered. The fourth part to all this is to feed our mind with thought provoking material. Our thinking mind is our functional spirit so to not use it is to deny our indwelling spirit. To not use our thinking mind becomes yet another pattern of separation.
