THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
PAY ATTENTION ….. TO THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM, Where is your ATTENTION
when it comes to your health and well-being? Is it on the illness or issue? Or is it focussed
on expanding the health that always lies within you? It starts with just one cell…..
Generally speaking we only pay attention to our physical and emotional bodies when there is
something “wrong” with it – when we have aches or pains, feel low or uncomfortable etc. What is
this physical and emotional pain actually trying to tell us? To pay attention that there is an issue
that needs to be addressed. Now… we can ignore the message, pretend it will all go away, shut
out the noise with substances (prescribed or self-medicated) and behaviour, rely on someone else
to tell us what to do, or … we can attend to the issue and listen intently with our innate wisdom to
assist the bodyʼs ability in itsʼ own natural healing.
How does the body heal itself? Well … firstly by not feeding it toxic and unrecognizable
substances!! The body knows what it needs to heal itself and I believe we just need to trust and
listen to it, whilst being aware of the mechanical functions to assist in making the ʻrightʼ choices eg
reaching for pure cacao rather than Cadbury dairy milk chocolate when the body knows it needs
magnesium for cell function. One thing we do know - every single human being has an
Endocannabinoid System that regulates all other body systems – in particular the Immune system.
So rather than focus on what is ʻwrongʼ, simply bring the attention to what is ʻrightʼ - in other words
focus body, mind and spirit on the very mechanism that knows how to create balance, as it is
ALWAYS within you, it cannot leave you, only you can take your attention away from it.
There is still so much to learn, however it appears the Endocannabinoid system is the mechanism
that brings about a state of homeostasis – “the ability or tendency of the body to seek and maintain
a condition of balance or equilibrium within itsʼ internal environment, even when faced with external
changes”.
Considering the only constant in life is change, we best make damn sure that we know how to
assist our Endocannabinoid system to stay receptive and functioning healthily so it can do itsʼ job
… without this occurring we may face a life of oxidisation, poor immune function, inflammation and
a system prone to dis-ease.
Some of the ways we can assist and maintain potential are: high antioxidant nutrition; light
exercise in nature; receptor activating herbs and foods (like lemons, mangoes, lavender &
rosemary); to learn acceptance of what is, thereby creating an inner and outer environment of
relaxation rather than tension; to intuitively communicate with the natural body to hear its needs
and respond appropriately and access medicinal cannabis if this is suitable for your situation – just
to mention a few ideas !!
Our motto is pay ATTENTION!! Attend To The Endocannabinoids Not The IIlness or Negativity.
