Is there a correlation between dis-ease in the body and dis-ease in the mind? Does the thought that orriginates in the mind influence manifestation of physical pain in the body? I think so. Am I a master of this? No. But do I feel this synchornicity? And I do try to incorporate it when healing is needed. Because, for me, healing the emotional issue often translated to a healing in the body. And sometimes vice versa.
When I lived in Chicago, I remember going to
Pacific College Scool of Acupuncture. Mainly because there were alot of students there that offered reduced rates for training purposes.
I was also a student so could not afford typical rates. The place was great. Not fancy but lots of bustling energy around with people eager to learn how to heal.
And I needed some healing.
Many issues have plagued me in life but at this point in my journey...the issue was between my mother and I. There is no need to get into the nitty gritty of our issue. Simply, it was causing me alot of anger which affected my stomache. I had a knot in my stomache that ached constantly and kept me clogged up (if you know what I mean). The knot only grew and became more and more painful over time.
A few bottles of fiber and calming tonics along with some other medicinal herbs and frequent colonics- i could not rid myself of the pain. Until... I decided to go get some acupunture. A typical treatment it was but this time the head doctor and teacher treated me; partly to showcase and use me as a teaching vessel for one of his classes but also divinely appointed by God. He spoke about my liver and said many techincal things about my tongue and pulse and then looked me in the eye as he stuck this needle in some point on my hand and said "Forgive"!
Tears welled up in my eyes and I immidately found the mental pain pressure point and knew I had to forgive my mother. In that instant- I did. Not just mentally but that pressure point triggered an emotional release that allowed me to truly heal.
That experience stuck with me for two reasons.
Acupuncture works (will get into that later)
and that mental pains do cause physical pains. Absolutely.
So fast forward 10+ years later and I am still learning how to self heal. What a blessing.
With that said. Its time to heal whats been on my mind lately. BC I have had some physical manefestatinos of pain that have maxed out in their message by debilitating me.
My hips and lower back.
According to Louise Hay and her book. "
You can heal your Life"
the mental cause of hip problems is fear of going forward in major decisions. Nothing to move forward to.
And here is the New thought pattern: I am in perfect balance. I move forward in life with ease.
Here is the other issue ailing me. slipped disc. The mental cause is feeling totally unsupported by Life. Indecisive. Positive affirmation is Life supports all of my thoughts; therefore I love and approve of my self and all is well.
Thought these mental diagnosis may sound dramatic. If you can see a tiny bit of truth in them, then you can start to heal by affirming the positive, the opposite.
With the move back to Oklahoma looming... yes many of these thoughts pop up. But luckily I have this secret to help self heal.
BTW I did go to acupuncture today and feel much much better.
Amen to that!
