Waves of information within the waters

Understanding the Lymphatic System: The Body’s Healing Flow

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s natural balance, guiding the flow of water, energy, and information that supports healing and homeostasis. All body fluids, the liquid contents of the body, are dynamic and supported by regulatory processes called Homeostatic mechanisms. Energy and information have been scientifically proven to be stored in water molecules. Water is the most abundant compound in the human body. The waters are contained inside the cell (intra cellular) and outside the cell (extracellular), the crystalline waters of the Matrix. The matrix determines the health and environment of cellular life, with reciprocity to the outer environment. Lymphatic structures develop from the matrix. The connective tissue forms from the matrix. The Fascia network of connective tissue envelopes everything in the whole body, creating a piezoelectric field of vibrational resonance, the living fascia. All are in relationship with each other.

Within all the bodily systems, organs and structures, exists the lymphatic system. The lymph vessels, lymph nodes and lymphatic fluid are present in approximately 98% of the human body. Lymphatic fluid is usually clear, or slightly yellow, and contains 96% water, as well as colloids, minerals, protein, lipids and a variety of additional substances. There are also the unorganized, unstructured pathways of the interstitial tissues and pre
Lymphatic pathways, that support the drainage of all substances that make up the “lymphatic load”.

The lymphatic system is responsible for:
* Tissue fluid homeostasis
* Immune cell transport
* protein, fat and lipid transport
* transports hormones and enzymes
* re captures products of tissue metabolism

There are superficial and deep circulation of the lymphatic pathways. These pathways are supported by the actions of the autonomic nervous system, such as breathing and peristalsis of the visceral smooth muscle contractions. Movement and exercise are most beneficial for the deep lymphatic circulation, while Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLDT) is particularly helpful for the more superficial pathways.
With this being said, there are a few areas of interest in our complicated environment today. The microbiota and the visceral health projects are one of the concerns, as well as the brain and nervous system communication on a whole. There are also accidents, injuries, surgeries, scarring and trauma. Toxic overload, stress, nutritional deficiencies and modern day lifestyles have resulted in accelerated pathological conditions where our “whole self” needs support. MLDT is powerful for maintaining homeostasis amidst the body’s dynamic expression.

Applying MLDT does this by:
* rerouting stagnate fluid
* mapping and re routing surgical sites
* balances the parasympathetic system
* restores vagal tone
* drains the glymphatic sytem (lymph in the brain), as well as the dura and pia matter
* supports neurological function
* supports immune function
* decreases inflammation
* aids detoxification
* reduces pain and muscle spasm
* increases mobility
* aids in viscera motility as well as organ drainage such as liver, intestines, reproductive, etc.
* opens the door to self healing and self regulation
* improves whole body functioning

The innate wisdom of our body, our being, is intelligent and knows how to heal. We are made of water, light, oxygen and all the elements of the earth and universe. We are energy before we are matter. Within the matter we are primarily water.Water holds primordial knowledge, energy and memory of our dynamic experiences, sharing information demonstrated by our abilities to form, replicate, self regulate, heal and thrive through conscious awareness. The power of water to purify, rejuvenate and inform, is the power of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system provides the pathways for this communication and exchange of substances within the body. Manual lymphatic drainage therapy is a powerful application in our modern day world,to maintain Homeostasis, as “All are in relationship”.
