Life Medicine
Studying
medicine taught me a lot about physiology, about pathology, about biochemistry
and pharmacology, about botanical medicine, homeopathy, diet, exercise and
lifestyle.
Living
my medicine and doing the deep personal work often required during the
transformation of healing, however, showed me the powerful medicine in a conscious,
intentional life.
What
if life and all your choices on who and what you allow into your life could be
part of your medicine?
What
if it is the most potent kind of medicine?
And
what if you showing up fully as you and doing what brings you the most joy in
the biggest way possible is medicine for others that can only be provided by
you?
Making
your life your medicine is not just with supplements, compounds, diets and
biohacking. It’s a commitment in every moment to get and experience the most in
life. A side effect is usually that by doing what brings you the most life, you
end up adding life and light to those around you who are available enough to
see and experience it.
On
this day, my medicine was a friend who checked in just because.
It was a date
with my husband and a restaurant that serves amazing, clean vegan food with flavors
I’ve never experienced in my own kitchen.
It was noticing a man happily eating
alone and blessing his meal before he took a bite.
It was a beautiful woman
with a bee in her hair that instead of automatically trying to kill and run,
calmly stood, asked if we could watch her things and gently walked the bee riding
on her long beautiful hair outside to freedom.
It was a gratitude journal
filled with words from strangers.
It was my hairstylist knowing what made me
feel beautiful, knowing my “good side,” paying attention to the details of my
preferences for a book over a magazine while I waited and engaging in cosmic,
meaningful conversation.
It
was in the act of a photo taken by someone who heard and felt my discomfort
with being in front of a camera and took the time to share her story, ease my
feelings of awkwardness and insecurity, and lift my chin to assure me that
she’d only capture the best angle.
It was hills filled with flowers and my
favorite Spotify channel on the way back home.
It was mail from my parents
waiting in my mailbox.
It was a sunset on my back porch, the smell of rain and
unconditional giddy love from my human and two fuzzy creatures.
Life
is a beautiful fountain of the most life-giving medicine. We need every
practitioner, every service, every beautiful soul fully expressed to heal
pieces only reached by each unique voice and act.
There’s
beautiful medicine all around, you just have to give yourself permission to
drop in, notice it and receive it. In
return do the world a favor and show up as your biggest version so that your
unique medicine can be shared with those who need it most. You never know what
pieces of you will be healed by pieces and gifts from others and you’ll never
know who received some healing from you and that’s the magic of it all.
When you work to make your life your medicine,
you’re working to create a life that breathes vitality and aliveness into every
experience. Your life should energize every cell in your body and be so fully
you that you’re healed little by little in every moment and every day with a
ripple effect that is felt by the world.
