Approaching difficulty

When we face a challenge we are not prepared to deal with what is happening; that is why it is a challenge.

But in that unprepared state of mind exists our greatest potential, for that is where the Wisdom of the Body becomes vulnerable.

If we became comfortable with vulnerability & could return there by will; we would face every difficulty utilizing our deepest inner wisdom.

Unfortunately we like to be prepared and our deepest wisdom is seldom vulnerable… our ego makes sure of that.

We travel down the paths that are known and accepted because our worse fear is to be a fool that is not in control. That is how we have been taught as we grew up and society reinforces it consistently.

Not knowing is bad and you will pay for that ignorance was the lesson we learned over & over again.

So when we face a health challenge our natural reaction is to grasp the expert’s knowledge. Modern medicine is definitely a super gift, but if that quest for knowledge covers up the Wisdom of the Body with thinking; that gift becomes a curse.

The patient has to reveal the Wisdom of the Body so healing can happen. Even when the scientist that discovered the cure for the disease they have faces the need to heal; their wisdom needs to be revealed.

The understanding that led to the greatest discovery is no substitute for the Wisdom of the Body. Qualities like self trust and confidence allows the body to respond to that new medical treatment, where understanding can slow the healing process down.

Thinking symbolically embraces life; where simple love and the passion to live embraces life experientially. It is that experiential embrace that ignites inner wisdom and the body’s ability to heal.

Don’t get me wrong, I more than welcome medical break through, especially when it can change my medical condition; but that desire doesn’t excuse me from participating in healing with the Wisdom of my Body.

I hope your condition has a medical cure, but I hope you participate in your health struggle with the Wisdom of your Body.

  • Ultimate Healing; Mind/body
    When you look at an ultimate healing; you have to consider the mind of the patient as you focus on healing the body. If you heal the body without healing the mind there really isn’t a complete healing. In this article we look at how thinking habits can easily be changed so the way illness is interpreted supports the healing process. What we think in our mind has immediate effects on the experience of the body. Our interpretations have the ability to increase the stress we feel and stress has an influence on our immune system and how we respond to medical treatments. We have the power to control our interpretations and if that helps our medical treatments only 10%; it is a good idea to look at that part of our life seriously. The creations of our mind aren’t how we can cure our illnesses; but if the way we use our mind limits us in any way we have to correct that to heal at our full potential. We have the power to create new thinking habits so we interpret reality differently. If the way we think can influence our health only 10%, that increase is nothing to ignore. 10% of a million dollars is significant and a 10% in healing is significant also.
