We make mistakes in our perceptions all of the time about our environment and we suffer for it. Our ability to perceive the world around us is essential for survival. We must be alert and aware at all times, right? Watch your step. Look both ways. What’s the expiration date on that milk I just poured in my coffee? We gotta do it to be ok. Watch yourself before you wreck yourself.

So what happens to us when our ability to perceive correctly gets sick? Here is what happens: When our perceptions get sick - we get sick.

Think about the mysterious actions of a body caught in the turmoil of an autoimmune disease. We know that that body is not perceiving things correctly - sensing danger at every turn - and that sweet body is exhausting itself to DEATH with over protection. Correct perception is the basis for all well-being. For my body, for my mind, for my spirit, for all of these systems to behave correctly they all must be perceiving correctly. It’s a big deal to know what’s going on and to know how to respond accurately.

The ancient Chinese knew this and they treated the perceptors - our senses. They treated our five senses with what is called the Five Spirit protocols. I really love treating the senses with these protocols. What I was not prepared for was that is when I treated my Five Spirits - my five senses- my nervous system could take a breath.

Here is what I now know - and this is what I so am longing to share: When you treat the Five Spirits - when you treat the five senses- the nervous system relaxes.

When the nervous system relaxes the immune system changes and alters. When the nervous system changes and alters the body can renew, and regenerate and transform.

Treating the Five Spirits creates the deepest and most permanent changes I have witnessed. No one gets better if the Five Spirits are not better. Period. It’s essential to all things that make us better. It’s bedrock. Learning some mastery about the Five Spirits will rock your world.
