Its easy to underestimate the general shock to the system from these experiences. Part of the problem is its easy to feel a bit foolish and minimize the situation. Even if there aren't any physical injuries, having an accident takes a lot out of you. This sets you up for more problems, which is where the expression " troubles come in threes " comes from. > >An increase of gentle nurturing of all kinds would be helpful in restoring your well-being. Making sure you get frequent small balanced meals that are easy to digest is helpful. Maybe you would even want to run them through the blender so they are soft and soothing, and take less energy to digest. Along with this some light exercise and lots of rest are needed. > >This would be a good time to emphasize living food in your diet made from the freshest ingredients possible. You need more than usual amounts of all types of nutrition to support the healing and replace what is lost through shock, and the fresher the food is, the more nutrition it has. > >If you are eating nuts or seeds, soaking them first helps shift the nutrients from storage forms to living forms, and makes them more digestible. I think the quality of the nutrition is also improved when you do this. > >The body has a lot of power to heal itself, and so the more you generally support the body, the more resources it has to devote to the healing process. Besides this being a good idea in general, it empowers the body to heal issues you might have missed noticing. > >May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter, >Roger > >- > " Nick Hein " <nick.hein ><RawSeattle > >Sunday, April 10, 2005 8:32 PM >[RawSeattle] Oooops!
