Two perspectives hold us back from the healing, health and happiness we
deserve.
First, we don’t hold a clear vision of what health
means. We hold a idea of freedom from disease
instead—if we aren’t sick, we’re healthy.
But there’s a world of difference
among broken, not-broken, and thriving.
How many people get up in the morning feeling rested, grateful, and
passionate about what they’re off to do that day, Monday through Sunday? How many of us are spending that time with
the people we really like, the kinds that jazz us up, as well as loved
ones? How many of us are doing the
things that renew and sustain us, not just in the corner of a day, week, or year,
but daily, even in the work we do? And
how many of us are living for someday, rather then appreciating in joy each
moment of beauty?
Truly, even if they manage to remain relatively
disease-free, many people aren’t truly living, and we can’t really call this
condition “health,” not mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or even
physically—just look at the physical posture, facial expression, walk and
breathing of such a frazzled creature.
It’s not healthy, and in fact, not infrequently precedes eventual
disease. Contrast this, for example,
with health from the view of a shaman, who might ask not about medical symptoms
but rather questions like “When did you stop singing? When did you stop dancing? When did you stop enjoying stories?” Notice these too are physical
symptoms—singing, dancing, smiling—but they are not only harbingers of illness,
but also indicators of perhaps a better term than health: well-being.
I worked with a client recently who reported her
chiropractor was amazed to see that her neck, injured in an auto accident the
previous year, had straightened back into place (C1) and that her chronically
high blood pressure had dropped to normal.
“Something else,” she told me. “I
found myself singing along with the radio in the car. I can’t remember the last time I did
that.” Bingo. Well-being.
When we’re not sneezing, but still living for one day when
things will be different, we aren’t healthy, and we need to learn to stop
accepting this condition, and especially not as normal. Our lives are supposed to feel good to
us. Instead, we waste them in embracing
mediocrity, instead of insisting on living as we were meant to live, fully,
passionately, vibrantly alive.
Second, we don’t understand we are energy, frequency and
vibration. Yes, physics has told us this
for over a century. The technical
aspects of this are not only well-known, but well-established as well. What we perceive as matter is the interaction
of vibrating energy frequencies. It’s
all we are—energy, frequency, vibration.
Here, we can look to not only our physical symptoms, but our emotions
and thoughts as well. If we aren’t
feeling healthy, happy, peaceful emotions, we aren’t thinking quality
thoughts. Change the thoughts, and the
feedback mechanism of the emotions changes with them. And clarity and coherence of light at the
spiritual level is reflected in clear, calm thoughts and emotions.
This is healing. On
one level, it’s as easy as letting go of what’s not working—conditions,
emotions, thoughts, spiritual practice…it’s all tuning to different vibrations
and frequencies. Energy flows where attention
goes, and when we’re hurt, we focus on the hurt—physically, emotionally,
mentally, even spiritually. Stop. It’s re-creating the pain. Instead, let go. All healing is releasing. Whether physical pain, emotional, etc., just
let it radiate out in all directions. Try
it—the pain will stop. Feeling mentally
overwhelmed? Stop thinking. Focus on your heart energy instead. Feeling spiritually empty? Construct a daily spiritual practice
meaningful to you; focusing here instead
of the emptiness will work wonders day to day.
Focus on wellness, on how a healthy body works and feels, on
what emotions you want to feel, on what thoughts you want, on what spiritual
condition. What do you want? Focus on that—not on continually feeling the
lack. Feel the joy of living your
desires in the Now. You will be happy,
whole, peaceful, joyful, balanced—and truly healthy.
