TREATMENTTREATMENT

Wisdom that is not shared is not wisdom.

Medicinal knowledge is learned through heart-to-heart conversations.

One should always attempt to harmonize what one thinks, with what they say and feel.

A healer opens up their heart without reservations, offering whatever they can: be it a song, a bowl of beans, a touch or a look.

As the human being evolves, it has the tendency to create a disconnect from the cosmos and pretends to replace this emptiness with materialism, this can sometime lead to self-destruction. It is neccesary to return to the natural order and reconnect with the four elements.

Negative feelings like jealousy or selfishness or eating processed food can produce illnesses. Healing begins with a detox.
