Inflammation, Illness & Mother Earth
by Madis Senner
Over the last decade the medical world has begun to realize that inflammation is behind many chronic diseases from heart disease, to cancer to diabetes. In other words chronic inflammation contributes to or is the cause of many of the diseases that we suffer from. A plethora of books and prescriptions have come out with recommendations on which foods to eat and to avoid, which supplements to take and what lifestyle changes to undertake to reduce our risks for getting chronic inflammation. One preventative not garnering much attention is the therapeutic affects of Mother Earth’s geomagnetic field. Research has shown that being connected to Mother Earth can help reduce and even eliminate inflammation and in doing so provide relief and even cure certain chronic diseases. .
Inflammation
Inflammation is our body’s immune system response to deal with harmful stimuli and to help heal and repair tissue. Some of the characteristics of inflammation are capillary enlargement, the accumulation of white blood cells in the injured area, redness, localized swelling and a partial reduction in cell production.
Inflammation is a natural and beneficial response. The problem with inflammation is when it becomes chronic and does not go away. One of the markers for inflammation is C-reactive protein (CRP) in the blood. Medical research has found that high levels of CRP are associated with many chronic illnesses.
Nancy Appleton, Ph.D, in her book Stopping Inflammation, Relieving the Cause of Degenerative Disease provides an extensive list of the illnesses caused by or associated with inflammation. Alzheimer’s Disease, Blood Sugar Problems/Diabetes, Cancer, Candida Albicans, Canker Sores and Mouth Ulcers, Cystic Fibrosis, Epilepsy, Food Addictions and Eating Disorders, Headaches (Cluster, Migraine, Sinus & Tension) Heartburn, Heart Disease including Stroke, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Kidney Disease, Obesity, Parkinson’s Disease, Periodontal Disease, Pregnancy and Childhood Diseases, Respiratory Diseases (Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema), Rheumatic Diseases (Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus.)
Such an extensive list seems almost unfathomable, but Appleton says “I believe that when all the research is in, inflammation will be the root of all diseases.” She is not alone, William Meggs, M.D., Ph.D. says that inflammation may turn out to be the elusive Holy Grail of medicine—the single phenomenon that holds the key to sickness and health.
Mother Earth to the Rescue
If inflammation is the root cause of illnesses then dealing with it becomes critical. Most books on treating inflammation provide lifestyle suggestions, dietary recommendations and a list of supplements. Only one book that I know of places the cause of inflammation squarely on our disconnect from Mother Earth; Earthing, The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?, by Clinton Ober, Stephen Sinatra (M.D.) and Martin Zucker.
The authors feel that one of the factors missing in the cause of inflammation is “the lost connection to our planet’s natural flow of surface electrical energy and the electron deficiency in our bodies that this creates. Our investigations strongly suggest the incidence of soaring chronic diseases during our lifetimes has occurred during a period in which more and more people have become increasingly disconnected from the Earth.”
They have found that walking barefoot or employing one of their earthing pads with a wire that attaches to the earth can help reestablish a good connection to Mother Earth and bring about improvement and even eliminate chronic diseases. They cite several successes.
They believe that by grounding the body to the earth electrons from the geomagnetic field flow into the body and vice versa. This allows the body to maintain the same negative charge electrical potential as Mother Earth. They hypothesize that “this flow of free electrons into the body is the mechanism by which inflammation is brought down.”
The authors point out that positively charged free radicals are at the core of inflammation, tissue destruction and disease. “Big negative-charged Earth overwhelms little, positive-charged free radicals.”
One of the other benefits of grounding is that it “powerfully reduces electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) on the body.”
Energy Medicine
To anyone that practices energy medicine (Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Body Talk, etc.) or has experienced such healings is well aware of the healing power of Mother Earth. When hands on healers do their work one of the things that they are doing is pulling energy into you from Mother Earth. (To see a demonstration go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJaYtjBEaVM&feature=channel.)
We are beings of energy and consciousness. Our energy body is behind our physical body and its source of energy is Mother Earth and her geomagnetic field. When we are disconnected from her we are not being properly nourished.
Getting connected may not be an easy feat. The earth’s magnetic field has been weakening for 2,000 years. You may be living in an area with geopathic stress. Your energy body may also not be properly processing, or at least not efficiently processing Mother Earth’s energy. Technology from cell phones to computers ravages Mother Earth and her field and could be doing serous damage to your energy body. So getting connected is a little more complicated.
Get Healthy, Reconnect
Following the recommendations of the Earthing group, walking barefoot on the earth or employing an earthing pad may or may not work for you. Or you may find it too cumbersome.
I would suggest personally reconnecting with Mother Earth by developing a relationship with her; as the Law of Attraction teaches we bring into our life what we think about. This involves a mind change and effort. The goal is to gain sentience of her. When you can feel her you will be tapping into her 24/7. You will also be increasing the quantity and quality of what you are absorbing.
If you are serious about gaining sentience of Mother you need to get rid of your cell phones and other digital devices and seriously reduce technology in your life overall. Technology kills.
You also need to begin to refocus your life towards Mother Earth. Honor her, give thanks to her. Begin to see her and not the accoutrements of our modern world. This is the key.
How much you will benefit from reconnecting with Mother Earth will depend upon a variety of factors, most of all your effort and sincerity.
Make rekindling your relationship with Mother Earth a quest. Good things are sure to follow.

Friends,

I have started a web page Mother Earth Prayers’ Health Pantry http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/health.html containing articles about Mother Earth’s affect upon our health.

Here is the first article:

Amish Farm Kids Have Lower Asthma, Allergy Risk: Study The Study found that farm children particularly Amish children had a much lower rate of asthma and allergies. Scientists hypothesized that the ‘Hygiene Hypothesis,” that our too clean environment and lack of exposure to a variety of germs at an early age was the reason for lower rates of asthma and allergies among Amish children, who do not recieve anitbiotics and are exposed to farm animals. No consideration was given to the fact that farm kids are more connected to Mother Earth and Amish children have a much lower exposure to technology (computers, cell phones, electronics...) which wreaks havoc on Mother Earth and disconnect us from her.

Peacemakers’ Sanctuary--Where Prayers are Answered

I took a walk on the west shore trail of Onondaga Lake on New Years’ eve and stopped by the Peacemakers’ Sanctuary (http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/sacredpeacemaker.html ) to contemplate and meditate. I had not been there in years.

It is a special place for me. My prayers were once answered there. When I came back to Syracuse in the fall of 2000 I was struck by the number of murders in the city and asked God for guidance in helping to reduce the murder rate. I was told me to pray at the Peacemakers Sanctuary in 2002. We had a ceremony there on a snowy and cold day after Thanksgiving, followed up by my praying there each day for several months. There were no more murders in 2002 and they steadily began to decline in the following years.

Reeds have overgrown much of the area. The bench was moved further up the shoreline away from the lake. I spent much time in 2002 and 2003 praying and meditating on that bench.

A vortex http://wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/1355/ has formed near the bench. I marked it with a large stone. This would be an excellent place to meditate on or to try and feel and experience the consciousness emanating from there—the vortex increases the draw of consciousness. Although I must admit that while there is a very powerful positive consciousness there one also experiences an underlying negative or toxic consciousness from all the chemicals dumped in and around the lake—one that most of you will not feel.

The Peacemakers’ Sanctuary taught me that praying at Mother Earth’s Soul http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/gaiassoul.html (on her fields of consciousness) can be powerfully transformative. 25 people gathered for a ceremony followed up by one going there each day for prayer for several months put a big dent in the murder rate in Syracuse. What else is possible? If enough of us gathered could we reduce violence in New York State, the USA or even the world?

2012 is upon us. People are talking about earth changes and the transformation of humankind. You can help that transformation by praying at Mother Earth’s soul and her many fields of consciousness in upstate NY. See my listing of sacred sites for some possibilities: http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/sacredsites.html

Help Bring about the change.

Friends,

Kateri-Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha has been nominated for sainthood by the Vatican. The chapel at Fonda is truly a wonderful and moving place that all should visit as it is filled with the thoughts and aspirations of many generations and people’s that prayed there. I have updated my review to include NPR’s story of the boy who was miraculously cured by praying to Kateri http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/sacredkateri.html

Earth Healers—I will be teaching a course on Earth Healing, 8 to 10 weeks, 1 ½ to 2 hours one night a week beginning in February/March in Syracuse and Canandaigua at Gossamer Woods http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/sacredgossamer.html, cost will be $100, scholarships available.

You will learn about Mother Earth’s subtle body, cleaning techniques and more. Much of the course will be experitiential to help you develop sentience of Mother Earth, dowsing skills to find her aspects so that you can heal her and work on your spiritual practices to develop your spiritual self. This is a course for those that wish to make a better world, clean up their home environment, or connect with Mother Earth to develop their self and improve their health etc.

I will send out more specifics on times in the next week. Contact me if you have another city in mind.

A New Year, a Better you—the Holiday period is a great time to take a little retreat to recharge and reflect. I use it to reassess my program of spiritual exercises. This year one of the things that I have decided to do is write a Thank You note to God each day in a journal. The Native American custom of Thanks is powerfully healing and transformative. What inspired me to writing my thanks was watching an interview of an author who was down on this luck and decided to write a thank you note each day to someone.

You can see the TV interview at: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7393005n&tag=contentMain;contentBody

Or read about it on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Act-Gratitude-Learning-Changed/dp/1401310710

The Arab Spring, the Occupy Wall Street Movement and now 2012 signal that big changes are coming. What those changes are and how they happen will be determined by each of us. Take some time this New Year to reflect, ponder and most of all Dream.

May God’s light and love shine on you and inspire each of you in the coming year.

Peace,
Madis
