Aging! Who likes it? Only kids! Once we realize that we can’t do what we used to do, we start looking for ways to slow down aging. We put creams on our face, take herbs and supplements, avoid sunlight, take yoga and do anything we read about to slow it down. What if the fountain of youth was already inside of us and we just needed to learn how to tap into it?
There IS a secret to optimizing our youth on the inside of us. The key is a word rarely used in health pursuits, the word “congruence”! What do I mean by congruence or being congruent? Back to the math class, you might have hated, Geometry, you may remember that strange symbol called congruence. Congruence implies an equality between two objects or concepts. In the same manner, to slow down aging we (object #1) need to become congruent or one with our inner, or what I call ‘elemental’ nature (object #2). Each of us has a true elemental nature, how we were designed to express our uniqueness in life. Integrating that true nature into our daily lives brings a congruence that produces a more vibrant, energetic, healthy and youthful self.
Most of us, however, lose access to our elemental nature. Dealing with the complexities and traumas of our lives often causes us to develop coping strategies and masks, which hide or disguise our true self the way God created us. Masks or personas require loads of energy to maintain, which greatly accelerates our aging process and leads to disease. For many people, the mask has become who they think they are. For example, someone who is a ‘Wood Element’ type with an inborn tendency to lead, may have experienced a difficult situation or even abuse as a child, which led to a fear of expressing that leadership gift. A mask of hiding out of fear of anger is then developed. Therefore, the conflict (in-congruence) produces stress, which in turn leads to overworked organs, emotions, mental processes, and spiritual burnout. Even our facial muscles and skin reflect the inner condition of our being. All of these are major contributing factors to accelerating the aging process.
Through Classical Acupuncture and the system of the Five Elements (Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal and Water), we help to discover our true nature, how we were created and through that focal point, we establish congruence with that nature and thereby, we nourish our destiny. It is my life’s work to empower you to be the best you that God created in body, mind, and spirit. As you step into that reality of your true self, you become congruent and peace floods your inner being.
There is no more practical result than being congruent. You flow smoothly with life because you learn to be you! The Scripture tells us, that as we think in our heart, we ARE. By becoming and returning to your elemental nature and thinking congruent with that nature, you live joyful, youthful and vibrant!
How do I become aware of my true nature? An ancient proverb says: ” three great mysteries: air to the birds, water to the fish and man to himself”. The answer is a process with trained mentors who can facilitate and empower you in this process. Often negative emotions, early life memories, and fears can be trapped in the body, thereby inhibiting us from being congruent and at home with ourselves. As one of my teachers many years ago wrote in one of her books “All sickness is home-sickness” (Dianne Connely, PhD). We all were created to return home.
The first step to true healing is to uncover our essential elemental nature and empower the way we were designed. If you will email me at davidamitts@mac.com, a request for the “Element Discovery Tool”, I will send you FREE the questionnaire which will help uncover your true nature. Second, if you’ll return the completed questionnaire to me, I will personally evaluate your answers and begin you with some guidelines to living congruently! Looking forward to a younger you!
