There is one thing that is an absolute complete turn-off, bad breath. It is even more disgusting when we start to understand why someone’s breath smells bad. When you don’t brush your teeth properly, you are allowing food and left over debris to literally rot in your mouth, resulting in cavities and gum disease. Food gets stuck in the creases of your teeth, and residue starts to build up on your tongue, causing your breath to smell worse than a garbage incinerator. It gets really bad when people start to pop breath mints into their mouth. As if covering up the smell is going to make the problem go away. Sadly, our oral hygiene is much like our spirits, in desperate need of cleaning.

One of my favorite teachers once told me that enlightenment is about getting all the crap that is buried inside of us, out. Yes, it was one of my aha moments. At that time, I realized that virtually every form of illness, every disease, starts on a subtle level. Holistic health practioners believe that illnesses penetrate us from within our auric fields. By the time a disease gets to the mind and or body, it is already fully grown. Today, in our society it is commonplace for many people to treat the symptoms and not the cause. It is so much easier to just pop in a breath mint.

Many diseases actually come from the exte
al environment. Our auric fields are vibrational bands of energy that surround our body. We have certain layers that act as our “teeth.” These layers actually sort through energy (information) and actually decide what kind of energy we want to take in (from other people and things). They break things down, chewing and molding, processing information, and only swallowing the information most pertinent to the growth and development of spirit. However, things get really “dirty” when we start to interact with people and things that give off negative vibes, or spread negative energy. Our auric fields get overloaded and the energy begins to build like residue. Slowly our fields begin to wane and deteriorate like cavities, allowing negative energy to seep through into the body.
This is why a lot of spiritualists take a more preventative approach on health. They do things like chakra cleansing, or they prescribe certain herbal baths. Many practioners in African religions work to clean the spirit by cleaning the head. They do this based on the belief that the head, or ori, is the gateway to the soul. This approach allows practioners to treat the actual cause and not just the symptoms. Just remember, we are constantly interacting with people and picking up a great deal of negative energy.
