Healing On Every Level Means Moving From Disorder To Order
There are many types of healing. We think of the physical body concerning healing, but we also have spiritual, relationship, financial and vocational healing. So, healing comes in different forms. When we think of healing or health, we think of wholeness, of order. In fact, the word health originates from the old word "hale" or wholeness.
Health is a higher state of expression, while disease is a lower state or disorder. When we consider a disease like cancer, we look at cells growing out of control; they are out of an ordered state. Healthy cells, on the other hand, work together in a coordinated fashion.
We can apply this concept to areas of life such as sports. You may struggle to hit the ball properly if you're a hack weekend golfer. Your swing may be erratic, and you may get rattled by poor shots; everything appears to take so much effort––you're out of sync.
Then you take a golf professional. Their swing is coordinated and fluid and seemingly takes place without much thought; their brain's muscle memory is ingrained. We say this golfer is in the zone. Day in and day out, they play at a level few can achieve.
The exact process happens in the business world. Companies that function poorly have chaos at the bottom level with poor management and a lack of coordination in the company's functions. Fear and guilt become ingrained in the employees and management. Companies that flourish are well coordinated, and their missions exceed the basics of making money. They convey a spiritual mission with a vision beyond themselves.
Everything that happens relates to various energy states. Everything is energy; what distinguishes one form from the other is the resonance of vibrational frequency, the lowest being matter, the highest being pure energy or spirit.
Spirit is intuitive, while the matter is more reflexive. One relates to the higher mind, the other to the lower mind. The lower mind's actions are more impulsive and erratic. The area of the lower mind relates to the brain stem from which we get our survival mechanism with the need for food, drink, shelter and sex.
The higher mind takes us beyond the physical into a higher state of consciousness. As humans, we have evolved from the lower mind to the higher mind; animals retain mostly lower mind characteristics; this is our primitive part.
The most primitive part of the nervous system is the neuron, which has both receiving and broadcasting portions; sensory and motor. The next level up is the spinal cord, which also has sensory input and motor output but is a collection of many neurons. These stimulate and react, such as with reflexes. When a doctor taps just below your kneecap, that activates the patellar reflex. That acts only at the spinal cord level and only reacts if a threshold is reached––an all or none response.
The more primitive the neuron, the faster the conduction of the nerve impulses. Once you get more and more interconnections in the brain stem, which we can think of as the lower mind, the size of neurons gets smaller, and they conduct impulses slower.
Once you go into the higher brain centres, you get more connections (synapses) and more integration, and with that, you have more options.
If you don't train your brain, you live in the monosynaptic world (fundamentalistic) with a more primitive mind.
The higher up you go, the less you react to stimuli and deal with life on a more spiritual level. If you train your brain, you act more automatically and intuitively. The more associations you have, the more connections you make and the more active your brain is. Everything you do is a transformation. Nothing can be created or destroyed by the law of energy conservation.
In the brain, the Corpus Callosum comprises highly myelinated nerve fibres that integrate the brain's two halves, the left, the more rational portion, and the right, the intuitive portion.
The ultimate truth is eternal––spiritual. When you act from a lower mind basis, you get into the emotion of things like Future Imagined Fear or Past Remembered Guilt.
This applies to how we operate in the real world, whether ordered or disordered.
If we go back to the golfer, if he's too much in his "body", too much in emotion, that is a drag, and the swing will reflect that. When the golfer is highly integrated, out of his "body", he is in the zone, and he "feels" the swing in the shots.
So, being healthy means transcending the density of emotional states where we tend to fluctuate, and we're not centred. Dissolve your emotions, which are often just illusions. You can do so by meditation or listing the benefits of anything you feel is a drawback which keeps you in fear, guilt or resentment.
