YES!! what a gem you are! This article resonates with me on every level!! Magnificent❤️
There is an old myth (now sadly unverifiable) which says that in the dim and distant past natural health pratitioners in China were paid to keep people well, to maintain their good health. Payment stopped if the person became sick.
Like so many things in our technologically advanced reductionist thinking we have got it the wrong way round. We have inverted so many truths about our place in the universe, how to heal, how to connect with our roots, our ancestors, even our own DNA, and in so doing we have lost touch with the reality that was (IS) our birthright...vibrant good health based upon a deep abiding love, respect and connection to our immediate natural environment. And inextricably allied to that is our (mis)use of the natural resources around us...for food, medicine, shelter etc.
Re Chaga...this gift from nature and the wisdom from our Northern Hemisphere ancestors is yet another connection to the past that disappeared from modern memory. And what a gift it is...we respectfully collect from a local birch wood and grind it ourselves in an old coffee grinder. The depth of flavour, the deeply dark woody, mushroomy earthiness plugs you back into the energy flow of our mother the earth in a way that a morning cuppa never did, or could!
Thank you from my heart for the best post I have seen this week! Resteemed, loved and cherished! ❤️
