Why continue drinking the medicine if I am already healed?
I get that question a lot. Why I feel the need or want to continue drinking the medicine if I resolved my emotional trauma, if I got what I wanted, what I came to the medicine for?
My answer is... why not?
When we are sick and weak, we are given chicken soup or food with the nutrients to help our body to gain strength. But we dont stop eating as soon we get stronger, right? We continue to eat when we are hungry to eat the nutrients we need to keep us healthy and stronger. And we just dont eat one kind of food, we eat a variety of food in our menu.
I feel it's the same with the medicines Mother Earth has provided us through our ancestors. We drink to keep us stronger, healthier emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Once the emotional blockages, the trauma, or whatever is holding us back are removed, amended, made peace with, we are free to explore the infinite realms of the universe. We experience expansion of the consciousness, gain access to the mysteries of the cosmic and the divine and find tools to help improve ourselves to our very best version and on. Often times it comes back to allow us to reflect on things we never consider before. The list of potentials is never ending; learning is constant and never ending. Our spirit and our minds needs nourishment. The day I say I know everything that I need to know, is the day I die.
Sure you can take a break from the medicine, just like fasting helps the body to reset. But they'll be a time we hunger for emotional and spiritual nourishment . That is the time when we feel the call to return to the table of the divine to nourish our soul.
Aho!
