"Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Healing is a spiritual journey. It is the alignment of body, mind and soul in balance and harmony.

"The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life... I too was formed from a piece of clay." (Job 33:4,6 RSV)

The Random House College Dictionary describes Bentonite rock as "a clay formed by the decomposition of volcanic ash."  It describes clay as "consisting essentially of hydrated silicates of aluminum, regarded as the material from which the human body was formed." So clays and the body are both essentially made up of nano silica crystals.

The body is designed to heal itself.  When it is out of balance, there is a loss of energy.  This loss of equilibrium contributes to a weakness and vulnerability to illnesses arising from mental stress as well as physical abuse, poor eating habits, and poor life style choices.

One of Calcium Bentonite Clay's spiritual healing properties is that of homeostasis, the ability to return to balance.  Homeostasis is explained as the ability of a system or living organism to adjust its internal environment by several complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to maintain a stable equilibrium.   The Native American Indians simplified it by saying, "Clay has wisdom of its own.  It knows where to go and what to do."

How is this possible you ask?  Well, clay is a nano crystal.  Crystals are capable of memory and holding energy.  Calcium Bentonite Clay communicates with the body and acts as a catalyst that supports the body in healing itself by cleansing, detoxing, stimulating circulation and balancing body pH.  In other words, it assists the body in regaining equilibrium and thus the normal flow of energy.

Clay is volcanic ash - the burnt out core of Mother Earth.  Clay is a super stable compound.  All of the elements that make up clay, 60 or more trace minerals mostly in parts per million, are bound together and act as a whole.

These nano silica crystal particles have a very strong electro-magnetic negative ionic charge.  This charge imparts an energy that allows the clay molecule to draw positive charged ions such as certain bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds, yeast, heavy metals--in other words "the baddies".

Many of the healing properties of clay cannot be explained by scientists, just as many actions of the body cannot be fully explained.  Could this mystery be because they share a common element, intelligence and spirituality designed by God?
