10 Gems about Nausea

It’s tempting to assume that nausea stems from physical food or drink we consume (or not). Truth is, it’s rarely that simple. Additional perspectives exist. Consider 10 insightful gems about nausea:

1. In Chinese Medicine, nausea is ‘rebellious stomach Qi’; energy is flowing in the wrong (unnatural) way.  Ask why that might be?

2. Key stomach functions include processing of physical matter, emotional and other energy.  The non-physical is often overlooked.

3. Nausea is a symptom of resistance; it echoes- ‘I am unwillig to process or face what’s going on... ‘

4. This is a nervous system response to what we find challenging. Our body wants to keep us safe. When in fear, the body goes into fight or flight, cannot digest, stays on-edge, and vigilant.

5. Growing up with a stressed parent or carer, implies we pick up on fear vibrations. This can create digestive problems as an adult. 

6. Nausea is a pointer ; your body is feeling unsafe, or feels things are out of control. It might arise around certain people or conditions.  At a deeper level, nausea arises to reflect feeling disempowered, or inability to assert personal power. 

7. The state and Ph of stomach echoes how true you are to yourself.  The meridian stretches from the eye to the second toe. It sits at the front of you. It knows and speaks your boundaries. 

8. Anyone who crosses your boundaries makes you want to rebel, and resist. But without a ‘strong stomach’ a conflict arises about how safe it is to do it. Nausea here is a symptom that echoes inner conflict.

9. Nausea arises when we are rejecting an idea or an experience that feels right in the heart.

10. Nausea may also arise as part of the kundalini process when one is no ready to handle or integrate incoming energies. The movement of such energy is guided and not meant to be rushed.

Being Real is Natural

Notice giving or expressing love freely is natural. We need not give something with monetary value; a smile, kind word or time, is enough. As we do everything with love, any lingering pain in our heart disappears. Simply being authentic allows love to come and go. It is a natural law. We get what we give and more.

Although love energy naturally overflows, we are often taught it must be earned or requested. The result is a heavy heart. Rather than allowing the heart to blossom, we may hold energy in, create discomfort. Love flows as we appreciate being ourselves. Being honest, vulnerable fearless, allows love to flow.

After holding back, being real unleashes pent up energy. The self disappears, melts into the whole. The tense state of our heart simply echoes its natural state is to give without limits. When we share who we are, it matters not to whom we are giving or the direction of flow. Joy, spontaneity, laughter, simply happen.

Recall the Most Essential Thing

Notice collective human evolution is most essential. What is the most effective way to evolve? Advaita Vedanta and other traditions echo the ultimate purpose of being is to hasten evolution into greater possibility or expand consciousness.

This is not a competition. Awakening to the true being is about remembering the forgotten meaning of temples, pyramids, cathedrals and structures that we are taught exist to mediate between us and the divine or be tourist attractions. Deeper remembering echoes they are portals into our true divine nature. They are stepping stones to living on a soul-guided life of universal principles.

To recall forgotten purpose, original means of how and why these structures were built, transforms the way we educate ourselves, how we view ourselves, how we come to re-activate dormant systems and function at optimum levels.

Be brave. Shift out of conquest mode. Temples and sacred places are not simply monuments, not what we are led to believe. Intuit the way to the heart. Tune into interdimensional energetic centres that guide us back into resonance.

Align with inner harmony

Notice as energy in motion, we change completely, we have changed completely and are changing every moment. As we align with what is most authentic, what brings aliveness and harmony, the false disappears and growth happens naturally right where we are. The transformation process is not about renouncing anything. It is about moving into more joy and aliveness, nourishing the Soul. Conditions that arise shake us out of our conditioned beliefs of what we thought was necessary or important, allowing heart-warming possibilities to present, broaden our horizons and replace it.

Trust the Alchemist Within

Notice the alchemist within knows the moment arises when nothing and everything happens. Without effort we never get here. Yet, with effort, nobody ever reaches it. As we reach the peak of our effort, it dawns our effort is futile. Suddenly, all that we can do is done, and no need exists to do anything else.

This said, nobody can drop "it all" part way. Wisdom arises within like energetic activations based on experience. The hero's journey must come full circle- quest must be undertaken to completion for the fruit to emerge energetically. So, go to the extreme. Put everything, total heart and soul, into it, until it dawns effort is not going anywhere. Effort is itself a teacher. Only then, it drops on its own accord. Meditation happens, not as the result of efforts, but as a happening. As efforts drop, suddenly meditation is. This is not a state we enter into but radiance surrounding everything. It fills the whole earth and sky. True meditation cannot be created by limited human effort. The truth is infinite. It cannot be manipulated. It happens only in full surrender. Without surrender, true meditation cannot happen. That is, its about no-self — no desire, not going anywhere — when you are just here-now, not doing anything in particular, just being present, it happens.
