If you’ve never heard of the Taxi Light Theory, here’s the simplest way to understand it.
Imagine a taxi driving by. If the light is off, it won’t stop — no matter how long you’ve been waiting. But once the light turns on, the very next person gets picked up.
In relationships, the “light” represents emotional readiness. Someone can love you, enjoy being with you, and still not be ready to commit. Then later, after growth or life shifts, their light turns on — and they commit to the next person they meet. It’s not about who was better. It’s about timing.
Now here’s where this connects to a naturopathic, healthy way of living.
In naturopathy, healing doesn’t happen by force. The body heals when conditions are right. You can eat well, take herbs, rest, and still not heal until your system is ready. Readiness matters — just like in relationships.
Unhealed emotional wounds are like inflammation in the body. Avoidance is a nervous system in survival mode. Fear of commitment often points to imbalance, not lack of love.
A healthy life teaches us to stop forcing outcomes and start honoring timing. Just as naturopathy focuses on removing what harms and nourishing what supports, healthy relationships require removing self-abandonment and nourishing self-worth.
The lesson is simple:
Don’t wait at the curb for a taxi that isn’t available.
Focus on your own healing, grounding, and growth.
Because wellness isn’t just physical.
Emotional readiness is health.
Choosing peace is medicine.
