It’s as ancient as ever, & wellness now looks nothing like it has looked in our lifetimes.

As technology has advanced, we’ve literally outgrown our own healthcare system and people are realizing it in real time. The advancement of technology is actually helping us go backward, as in back to true wellness of being by coming into harmony with the entire system of life.

How Can Moving Forward Take Us Back?

All of what we need to heal, and to be totally well, is found in nature. Wellness now is not about procedures and synthetic medications to cure disease. Total wellness of being comes from engaging with life in a way that aligns with natural health, and the cures or methods of healing come straight from our natural world.

Technology gave us, and especially the younger generations who were born right into the age of information, the resources to become educated about everything with the touch of the keypad. Information comes faster, and we’re looking into the connection of the online screen more than the television. We’re searching and interacting with the technology. Now with AI capabilities hitting the scene, we’ll glean information even faster.

In the computer age, and now the age of machines, our own capabilities to find less expensive, and more effective ways to heal and thrive, pushes us past the drug commercials we see on TV and leads us away from our frustration with health insurance and the profit driven pharmaceutical industry.

What is Wellness as We Rediscover It?

Right now, the energies of our planet are boosted, according to the astrological outlook and the advancements we are seeing with our own technology. Our best bet to thrive and survive is going to be found in being in tune with our surroundings and making the most of immediate resources.

There are the obvious resources, like local food and honey from farmers markets in your town. Eating better and consuming organic, whole foods, and growing your own food will ensure better health and more harmony and wellness of being. Yet, there are so many unseen natural resources that we are tapping into.

Sound therapy is becoming popular. Using rocks and crystals to clear energy is becoming more well known. Using a pendulum to check in is making its way into our culture. Yoga and meditation, which are huge assets to human wellness, are becoming more and more popular nationwide. Vibrational healing, using frequency to rebalance and cure disease, are starting to appear in interviews and workshops. Wellness hubs that don’t take insurance are popping up worldwide. Restorative retreats to a spot in nature are gaining traction over luxury resorts.

As new energies come in, and new technology brings us awareness of them, we naturally gravitate toward what can bring us back to a nurture and nature state of being.

Real Wellness Doesn’t Cost a Fortune

It can be hard to tell good advertising and gimmicks apart from real wellness treatments and products. There are some ways to discern what is helpful versus what is the latest trend the capitalists are advertising to consumers. First and foremost, real wellness doesn’t have a commercial. Look for local, modest and natural.

Real wellness doesn’t come from synthetic solutions to mask symptoms in effort to get a person feeling well enough to function. Medications don’t make people well – they make people dependent on medications in order to feel well. This is not freedom, nor is it ethical healthcare. Yet, it’s a standard we have accepted up until now, by default, because we didn’t grow up in the Information Age and had limited knowledge of how healthcare and wellness can and should work.

Real wellness doesn’t need medical insurance. That’s not to say that finding help in an emergency isn’t valuable, and that we can completely avoid all accidents and health emergencies throughout life. Yet, in a real emergency, a person would not be denied medical care at an emergency room if they did not have insurance. We’ve been led to believe that we have to be in fear if we don’t pay into a system that exists for businessmen to profit from. We’re moving away from that paradigm.

Understanding Unseen Forces of Nature & Healing

As we move into a time where modalities such as sound therapy become more sought out, we will come to understanding that there are many unseen forces in nature that we can rely on to bring us back into alignment. Our wellbeing depends on this alignment of factors within us that we can’t see. Like our breath, we don’t see air and oxygen, yet oxygen is a potent healing gas that has the power to prevent aging and disease. Breath work is free. Air is free.

We would be right to preserve the integrity of our environment by intending clean air, clean water, fertile soil, healthy plant and animal life in order to have a collective consciousness that is in alignment and in harmony on the community level. Then like life, the holographic effect of having most communities run this way, will ensure using nature to align the planet.

As we dabble in the unseen forces of energy, like frequency, for example, we will notice the feeling of coming into alignment. As the heaviness of the old way, of the old patterns, falls away, we can experience first hand what brings us into out own wellness. We can invest in ourselves in a way that gives us many returns. Using unseen forces helps us in the material world.

Our energy blocks and habitual negative mind patterns, some of which are there from ancestral DNA (also unseen), are what get us stuck in life so that interactions and opportunities get jammed up and life doesn’t seem to flow correctly. We become frustrated and tend to blame the outside world, and we seek help from the outside world by going to doctors and other providers. The way to clearing this is by using natural resources to clear the world inside of us.

How to Screen Wellness Practitioners

There will be wellness coaches, yoga instructors, therapists, life coaches, and healers of all kinds that are able bodied to help those in their community become aware of how to use the world around them to live in total wellness. At the same time, it can be daunting to be learning about so many new or ancient tools and resources, and even more challenging to know who to go to for guidance.

One of the most important aspects to finding the right person to guide you on parts of your wellness journey is to use your intuition, plus know in advance what you’re looking for out of each resource. For example, you’re interested on yoga but don’t know what type or whose class you’ll resonate best with. Technology is there online, YouTube as an example, to answer what type of yoga works best and that’s a good place to start with researching. Then, where to go and how you’ll connect with the others there is the next step.

Engage and connect. We have to go into the place we want to explore and then see what we see. Just like going on vacation to a new spot, if you don’t love it the first time, you probably won’t revisit. Connecting and engaging in wellness is going to have amazing benefits, even of it’s not the perfect fit. So first, go to the class, or the session, and see how the experience feels. Then again, it’s back to going within and using your intuition to know whether to explore a different class or try a different practitioner, or whether there are opportunities to get great benefits to returning to where you went.

When it comes to individuals who are instructing or treating, it’s best not to look for someone you see as a friend, but to check into whether or not the person has credentials in areas you respect, or has a history of helping people. Look at reviews if there are any posted, and talk to others who have gone for classes or sessions of possible, to get different viewpoints.

When it comes to people who are in the fields of social services, wellness, mental health, and helping professions – you’re going to find many who have overcome trauma in their lives and/or addiction. Many will still be healing. People who are open and honest about that should be honored and valued, rather than judged. So in looking for guides, you’ll want to be there for how you can use guidance for your own wisdom and wellness, and avoid taking anything to a personal level with the instructor, coach, therapist, or practitioner.

One last word of advice, if you’re not sensing humility and true compassion from a person you’re seeing in the medical field or the wellness field, and especially those with their ego out in front, save yourself some time and money and keep searching for what feels genuine and what resonates in your best interest. There are a lot of egos in all professions, and while some really mean well, the best practitioners are humble, and some can be hard to read or even appear guarded.

Mostly, trust yourself to be able to discern what works for you, and compassionately move on from anything that feels out of alignment for you at the time. Remember, if something isn’t in alignment for you, that doesn’t mean it is bad or there is any harm in others finding benefit from it.

Each is on their own walk. You’ll be amazed at what investing in yourself while not taking on the energies of others can do for your life. In this moment, you’re in alignment to live your best life. Take the opportunity.

Wellness in the new era is better than ever before, we just have to know where to find it.

Look to nature.
