Let’s be honest… We all need to have ‘Bontamination’ around us… We do, don’t we? Contamination is a very heavy word… Everything we come into contact with has something in, on, or around it. This has been the case since before we were even born. Our birth parents would have been exposed to the atmosphere and the physical world. Some of their natural resistance will have been passed to us via the umbilical cord… Some good, some not so good. Then there’s genetics. We are natural beings, affected by our own natural biology. We are permanently linked to it. But we don’t need to fear it… It is what makes us so strong… And we are… You and I are well designed and built. The world is attacking us from every angle… Radio waves, pollution, all the stuff that exists in and around us…
But that is okay…
We are fantastic…
So… The next time you touch a door handle, or light switch… Or take a breath… Or eat something tasty… Disregard the intrusive thoughts… That’s all they are… Just thoughts… No physical power… Unlike the massive natural defences that protect us from our normal environment… ‘Bontamination’ is going on all of the time… It is our protector… We are adapting all the time, just as nature around us is… And that is okay… We actually need to let it happen…
That is the Concept of ‘Bontamination’.
