Recently I found out about the work of Dr. Jack Kruse, who treats his patients following the natural flow of Nature, biology and circadian rhythm. He explains and proves how we, as species are intangibly connected with Nature and living agains its laws is what makes us ill. He also shows how mainstream medicine has converted healthcare into a profitable business, convincing us into believing in statements that are absolutely contrary to the way we were build to function as part of this world.
He talks a lot about the body, how to pay attention to it. In my work and through my personal experiences, the body has become a main subject of my interests and everything related to it grabs my attention. I’m far from pretending I know a lot about health, but I do have some experiences that has proved me the truthfulness of the matter. Combined with my visual admiration to how our skin looks, it becomes a subject I have a true passion for.
Our biggest organ is our skin. It is our outfit, the way we look as species. It is also a map that shows our inside health and consequences of damaging thoughts. I struggled with skin issues for years, before I found out that what I eat and how I think about my body have direct effect of the way my skin looks.
The most recent proof I got from Nature. I was born by the sea, in a continental climate, where my skin was exposed to the sun most of the year. At 20 I moved to the UK, where a few years later I’ve noticed I developed a sun allergy. A wake up call. “I can’t have sun allergy, I love my skin being in the sun, it’s one of my main joys!”, I thought to myself. I didn’t go to doctors or took any medication. I ignored the problem, hoping it will disappear. Later I moved to Spain and on the second year of living here, my sun allergy almost disappeared. The rashes of the spring sun weren’t as strong as couple of years back in the UK and I’m sure this year will be even less.
What I’m trying to say? - the sun allergy is not an allergy towards the sun, as doctors say. It is in fact a reaction that the skin makes towards the lack of the sun. As Dr. Kruse says, we’re beams of light, our skin is supposed to get the rays of the sun - this is how we recharge, this is how we get energy. Staying in the dark, hiding form our source or putting creams to protect ourselves is the opposite of what nature asks us to do, or what we’re supposed according to biology and the natural rhythm of life.
Our skin is our outfit and we need to pay attention to it and learn to love and accept it. Being nude, naked, is the way you are indeed in this world. There is no space for shame, for blame, for denial. We’ve been created in such a perfect way, with such detailed connection between our organs, the world outside us and beyond that ignoring it will only cause us damage and inevitably death.
To feel comfortable in your skin is an act of care, of love. To learn to love and accept yourself is making a conscious decision to learn and investigate what gives you life and what takes away from it. When you love who you are and the way you look, you pay attention to yourself and everything inside and around you. To feel the love and accept the body, you also learn about the natural harmony of life. You can’t ignore or hate yourself or your body when you see how connected you are to the whole, how important your role is even being a small one.
Nature doesn’t care of what we thing or want. She creates and destroys, gives life and takes it away. Nature moves, expands and live unbothered of how much agree with its laws. But following them, learning about her and how interconnected we are, can only benefit our short life here on Earth.
