A Powerful Source Of Healing EnergyIt is the inner beauty that lies in the depths of all of us that is the source of the most potent healing energy. It is the experience of these inner qualities of peace, love, happiness, purity and truth that begins to heal us at a profound level and as it does so it works from the centre to the outside. It is the conscious practice of incorporating these qualities into my life through the thoughts I habitually think, the words I speak and the things I do, that creates a balance once again. From experience in the use of traditional acupuncture, it can be seen that there is a direct connection between, for instance the emotion of anger and disturbances in the pathways of energy of the liver and gall bladder meridians. These in turn have an affect on our ability to plan and to make wise decisions and judgements. If there is anger these abilities are impaired and wrong or snap decisions are made on impulse rather than reasoning. Anger can give rise to symptoms such as high blood pressure, stroke or severe migraines. The liver and gall bladder meridians have a powerful connection with ligaments and tendons and so there may be signs such as varying severity of muscle pain and spasm, back problems or inflammation of muscle and tissue. Remember the tight hunched shoulders we experience when we get wound up? The core quality that is the antidote to anger is peace. In order to ‘see’ and plan, make good decisions and carry them out we need inner peace – no turmoil. When we are peaceful, we are easy on ourselves, more tolerant and light. Everything can flow smoothly and easily including our emotions, blood circulation and digestion. It is interesting, and helpful to know which core qualities are antidotes to our negative emotional states because they will begin to heal us in a very profound and noticeable way. They are the source of our healing energy. How can we access them and direct their flow? The power of our thoughts can never be under-estimated. It is awesome! Thoughts are like seeds that we plant in the fertile soil of our minds. If well tended, they will take root and grow. For this reason we need to be careful what kind of thoughts we nurture in the nursery of our minds! If they are positive, peaceful and harmonious, then the magic of the mind begins to produce harmonious situations and everything seems to happen as if a fairy has waved a magic wand. If my thoughts are habitually negative, complaining or angry then it is as if there is some mischievous devil at work. Nothing seems to go right; there is one catastrophe after another and problems arise. I can never really relax as I am wondering what else is going to go wrong. Think and it shall be so! It is our inner world of thoughts and feelings that create our outer world. Most people stay focussed on what is happening in the outside world, but the wise will look inwards and create an inner world of harmony based on our core qualities and their outer life will reflect this. I am sure you have met people who always seem ‘lucky’ without having to put in a lot of effort. Lady Luck is on their side and everything always turns out well for them. And yet, there are others who seem to be blighted by bad luck. The answer lies in their thought patterns and processes. We can transform our lives by understanding the Law at work here. The Law is that my thoughts are the cause and outer conditions are the effect. As you sow, so you will reap. Instead of trying to work to change the effect, if we change our minds and reprogram our subconscious then we can transform our lives. This is the magic of thought. By this means we can change poverty into abundance, illness into health, fear into confidence. If I believe myself to be an ill person, I am powerfully programming my subconscious to create this state. If I go to sleep at night with thoughts of being healthy and strong my subconscious will believe me and start to bring it about. If I go to sleep feeling miserable, I will wake up feeling…. you guessed it – miserable. Take charge of your thoughts. You are their master. Meditation is the key to self-transformation. Through the right kind of meditation we come to experience the healing power of our pure qualities and feel them bringing lightness and balance to both our bodies and our lives. How do we stay healthy? |
