The lymphatic system is the lesser known step-sister to the more sexy circulatory system.

While the arteries deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and veins remove much of the waste, the lymphatic system is left to mop up the rest of the mess within the interstitial space at the capillary beds. We talked much more about the dynamics of lymphatic circulation in last Medicinal Monday, episode #321.

Many nutritional and lifestyle factors influence the health and fluidity of the lymphatic circulation such as general hydration status, toxin accumulation, nutrient status, dietary fat intake, and more.

When the lymphatic system is congested there are several consequences to our body. One important one is lowered immune status causing frequent infections or the exacerbation of chronic illness.

This brings us to the psycho-spiritual opportunity as it relates to our lymphatic system - the feeling of safety and security as it relates to our environment and the ability to stay balanced to protect ourselves and energies in the face of opportunistic invaders.

Some highlights from today's WW episode...

- The feeling of safety and security doesn't come from outer circumstances, but our trust in self and the universe
⁃Physiological stress direct suppresses the lymphatic system’s ability to support immune function and detoxification. 
⁃ One helpful tip to feeling less fearful is recognizing that “you don’t need to believe everything you think” and that thoughts are literally formless energy that we can either choose to take seriously or let go. 
⁃ As we can more trust in our body and the safety and security that the universe provides, this translates into great physiological harmony and lymphatic health
⁃We can dissolve the feelings of fear and vulnerability when we connect with the wisdom of our body and mind - trusting that we have everything we needs to handle whatever situation is presented to us in life.
