Added 2021-05-13 21:18:56 +0000 UTCToday’s experiment: can I be directly in the grass and withstand the allergens — and the resulting mast cell response? (Answer: not quite! Not *yet*). I’ve been doing low dose immunotherapy injections for nearly two years now (since my anaphylactic event) to help calm my body’s immune response to all the things it perceives as a threat. I’ve come a long way, but this isn’t a bandaid approach, it’s a process. My whole life has been seeking ways to feel safe in my body. Having an onslaught of physical ailments that turned disabling in my 20s was... disempowering to say the least. But I’ve been working with my body in ways that are best for my unique human experience since 2013, and I’ve come such a long way. I’ve found reductionist medicine, *wasn’t the way for me.* So I have chosen holistic paths that help me tap into my body’s innate abilities to heal. Little did I know at the time that this process was going to extend from the physical into the emotional, mental, and spirit bodies as well. I don’t hate my body anymore. But I still have a tendency to want to escape (hence why I can so naturally astral travel — and well, disassociate). But every day I am choosing to be present. To listen. To love my body, even when the messages are hard to receive. I reject a lot of conventional paradigms, and had I not — well, quite honestly, I would be severely disabled and perhaps not even alive. And thus, I reject the one path approach — there is no perfect human diet. Not one single pill, shot, supplement, or even plant that is *the* answer. The answer resides in your individual choice. The answer resides in you. It’s just a matter if you’re willing to listen. ♥️ Your body loves you. It really does. Love it back.
