If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Rest & Heal The Mind One Cell At A Time
Unity Consciousness #256

.

Part of knowing yourself is an understanding of the human body. The mind is not one big single thing. It is a composite of cells. This is true of all organs in the body.

In order for a bunch of cells to form and function as a unit, each cell must have a mind of its own. We know this is true because each cell has a nucleus that contains DNA instructions by which the cell operates. The nucleus of the cell is the mind that tells the rest of the cell what to do. The brain is the mind that tells the voluntary parts of the body what to do. Based on the self-harming things our brain instructs us to carry out, it's a good thing the brain does not control all body functions.

When the body is sick, even though it receives nutrition, the body often rejects it. Same thing happens when mental nutrition is fed to a mentally ill mind – since understanding, like healing, doesn't come immediately, the information is rejected without allowing time for digestion of the information and the effects to take place at the cellular level.

Healing, like sickness, happens first, unnoticeably, at the cellular level then it takes place in the larger, composite parts of the body that these same cells form.

It is the mind of the cells that need nutrition first and foremost when the body is sick and when the brain mind is sick.

Mental illness, just like any other illness, cannot be healed all at once. It takes time and stages of recovery. Nutrition medicine must be taken consistently. It doesn't take long to recover once nutrient medicine is flowing through our body ecosystem.

The main thing is to get nutrition*, rest, avoid toxins, be persistent, then patient. All these things must be part of the healing process.

Sufficient rest allows the body's cellular ecosystem to rejuvenate itself.

Nutritional deficiencies and toxins affect cell metabolism, therefore the ability of the brain to process information and think properly.

We know we need rest..Insomnia and other sleep disorders...affect mental health.

* Nutrition includes rest, fresh air and sunlight.
