Your Body is a Mirror of Your Life
Your Body Is The Mirror Of Your Life Everything begins with your
consciousness. Everything that happens in your life, and
everything that happens in your body, begins with something
happening in your consciousness. Your consciousness is who you
are, your experience of Being. You decide what ideas to accept
and which to reject. You decide what to think, and you decide
what to feel. When these decisions leave you with residual
stress, you experience the stress as if in your physical body.
We know that stress creates symptoms. The interesting question
is, "Which stress creates which symptoms?" When we are able to
quantify this process, we are then able to see the body as a map
of the person's consciousness, relating particular symptoms to
particular stresses and particular ways of being, in the same
way that Type "A" Behavior has been able to be associated with
heart disease. Everything Starts In Your Consciousness To
understand this map, we must first orient ourselves to the idea
that the causes of symptoms are within. While it's true that
germs cause disease and accidents cause injuries, it is also
true that this happens in accord with what is happening in the
consciousness of the person involved. Germs are everywhere. Why
are some people affected and not others? Something different is
happening in their consciousness. Why do some patients in
hospitals respond better to treatment than others? They have
different attitudes. Something different is happening in their
consciousness When someone is injured in an "accident," why is
it that a very specific part of the body is affected, and that
it is the same part that has had habitual problems? Is that an
"accident," or is there a pattern and an order to the way things
happen in our bodies? You Are A Being of Energy Your
consciousness, your experience of Being, who you really are, is
energy. We can call it "Life Energy" for now. This energy does
not just live in your brain; it fills your entire body. Your
consciousness is connected to every cell in your body. Through
your consciousness, you can communicate with every organ and
every tissue, and a number of therapies are based on this
communication with the organs which have been affected by some
kind of symptom or disorder. This energy which is your
consciousness, and which reflects your state of consciousness,
can be measured through the process known as Kirlian
photography. When you take a Kirlian photograph of your hand, it
shows a certain pattern of energy. If you take a second
photograph while imagining that you are sending love and energy
to someone you know, there will be a different pattern of energy
shown on the Kirlian photograph. Thus, we can see that a change
in your consciousness creates a change in the energy field that
is being photographed, which we call the aura. This energy field
shown in the Kirlian photographs has been quantified, so that
when there are "holes" in particular parts of the energy field,
these are said to correspond to particular weaknesses in
specific parts of the physical body. The interesting thing about
this is that the weakness shows up in the energy field before
there is ever any evidence of it on the physical level. Thus, we
have an interesting direction of manifestation shown through
what we have described. 1. A change of consciousness creates a
change in the energy field. 2. A change in the energy field
happens before a change in the physical body. The direction of
manifestation is from the consciousness, through the energy
field, to the physical body. Consciousness------1------>Energy
Field------2------>Physical Body
When we look at things in this way, we see that it is not the
physical body creating the energy field, the aura, but rather
the aura or energy field that is creating the physical body.
What we see as the physical body is the end result of a process
that begins with the consciousness. We Each Create Our Reality
When someone makes a decision that leaves them with stress,
creating a blockage in the energy field with a sufficient degree
of intensity, this creates a symptom on the physical level. The
symptom speaks a certain language, which reflects the idea that
we each create our own reality. When the symptom is described
from that point of view, the metaphoric significance of the
symptom becomes clear. Thus, instead of saying, "I can't see,"
the person would have to say, "I have been keeping myself from
seeing something." If they cannot walk, they would have to say,
"I have been keeping myself from walking away from something."
And so on. We must understand that there are no accidents and no
coincidences. Things do happen according to a pattern and order.
The Human Directional System We can say that we have an inner
guidance system, a connection to our Higher Self, or our Inner
Being, or whatever name we choose to give this Higher
Intelligence. This inner guidance system functions through what
we call our intuition, or our instinct. It speaks a very simple
language. Either it feels good, or it doesn't. All the rest is
just politics. We are told we should move with what feels good,
and do not do what doesn't feel good to us. We are told to trust
this inner voice. When we don't follow this inner voice we feel
tension. We feel not-good. Then, the voice must get louder. The
next level of communication is through the emotions. As we move
more and more in the direction that feels not-good, we
experience more and more emotions that feel not-good, and at
some point we can say, "I should have listened to myself when I
thought to move in the other direction." That meant that we
heard the inner voice. Otherwise, we could not have said, "I
should have listened." If we make the decision we know is the
right one for us, and therefore change direction, there is a
release of tension, we feel better, and we know we are again on
the right track. If we continue to move in the direction that
feels not-good, the communication reaches the physical level. We
create a symptom, and the symptom speaks a language which
reflects the idea that we each create our own reality. When we
describe the symptom from that point of view, we can understand
the message. If we change our way of being, we have received the
message, and the symptom has no further reason for being. It is
able to be released, according to whatever we allow ourselves to
believe is possible. If we created the symptom with a decision,
we are also able to release it with a decision. As an
hypothesis, we can imagine that someone makes a decision that it
is not a good idea to express what they want. From that moment,
whenever there is something they want, they keep themselves from
expressing it, and therefore from having what they want. That
feels not-good. The tension grows. They feel more and more
not-good as they keep themselves from expressing what they want
and not having it. Eventually, something happens to create a
symptom on the physical level, and their right arm is affected.
It could have happened through falling from a ladder, or in an
automobile accident, or by pinching a nerve in the neck, or by
"sleeping in a draft." Something had to happen on the physical
level to create the symptom, in order to give the person the
message on the physical level about what they had been doing to
themselves. We do to ourselves literally what we have been doing
to ourselves figuratively. The effect is that the person cannot
move their arm. They are keeping themselves from reaching for
something, and since it is the right arm, on the "will" side of
the body, they are keeping themselves from reaching for or going
for what they want. They have been giving themselves reasons to
not believe that they could have what they want. When they begin
to do something different in their consciousness, they notice
that something different begins to happen with their arm, and
the symptom is able to be released.
