Vitamin Deficiency

You eat, but you don't absorb. Your body receives food — perhaps even good, consciously chosen food — and yet something is missing. The blood values show a deficiency: vitamin D, B12, iron, folic acid, whatever the lab report has marked in red. The medical answer is clear: supplement, adjust your diet, investigate the cause. And that is right and important.

But there is a deeper question that is rarely asked: why doesn't your body absorb what it needs? Why isn't the utilization working — even when the supply is right? Why does a system starve that is actually getting enough?

Vitamin deficiency is not always only a nutritional problem. Sometimes it is the physical image of a deficiency of the soul. Your body is showing you what your consciousness doesn't see: that you are running on empty in the midst of abundance — because you have forgotten how to truly let what is essential in.
