Healing

Within the energy structure of our soul, we carry the memory of all of the cumulative experiences of the soul. To the extent that some of these experiences have been inharmonious, we retain the associated unbalanced energies within our soul structure until they are released through a healing process.

In a like manner, as we incarnate into physical embodiment, we accrue the memory of our day-to-day experiences within the cellular structure of our body. As in the case of our soul, if some of our experiences are conflictual, then these memory patterns of discordant energies reside within the cellular structure. These energies interfere with the normal, healthy functioning of our body. If these imbalanced energies are severe, they will ultimately manifest in our physical body as "dis- ease".

Healing is simply a process we go through to bring the energies within our soul structure, and within the cellular structure of our body back into balance and harmony.

As we begin to awaken within our human consciousness to our true spiritual nature, it is only natural that we begin to focus on our need to undergo a healing process, to bring our body and soul into balance. The first phase of this process usually involved becoming aware of our daily habits, such as our eating, breathing, and physical activities; to experience how these affect our well-being. It is also important that we become more conscious of our thoughts and emotions, and observe their impact. Our human body has wonderful regenerative capacities, so as we eliminate those habits which tend to negatively impact us, we normally begin to experience a higher degree of wellness within our body, and within our life in general.

Elimination of Toxic Intake

An important first step in our healing process is to reduce, or eliminate from our daily intake those substances which grossly impact our health in a negative manner.

The primary cleansing systems of our body -- the kidneys, bowels, lungs, and skin -- function on a system of priorities, assigning highest priority to the elimination of those substances which are of the greatest toxicity. To the extent that we consume substances of high toxic content, we tend to overload the cleansing systems, and thus they are not able to do a complete job.

Although each human body is unique, and has greater or lesser tolerance toward various substances, there are a few substances which, at least in my observation, tend to be universally detrimental. Let's consider a few of them.

Tobacco: The effects of smoking on health are well documented. More recently, we are learning that tobacco companies are putting a lot more than just tobacco in cigarettes, and it may well be that it is the additive chemicals, rather than tobacco itself, that has the most detrimental effect on our health. But the elimination of smoking is an absolute essential for anyone who seriously wants to improve their health.

Alcohol: Many people who drink alcohol excessively over a period of time eventually develop kidney problems. This is because the kidneys assign a high priority to the elimination of alcohol, and if the alcohol consumption is excessive, the kidneys are constantly overworked. Furthermore, in such cases, so much of their functional capacity is consumed in dealing with the Alcohol, that they never get around to the elimination of other less toxic substances. Alcoholic beverage companies attempt to promote the myth that drinking alcohol in moderation is absolutely okay for adults. However, the problem is that our food supply, even under the best of circumstances, is laden with toxic substances because of the pollution on our planet. Thus, it seems prudent to totally eliminate from our food and beverage intake those substances which we know to be highly toxic, so that the cleansing systems of our body can focus on eliminating the toxins which are inherent in the foods we eat.

Coffee: Every living plant carries within its essence specific energy frequencies which resonate with specific areas within our body. The coffee plant resonates with our heart area, and thus dramatically impacts the functioning of our heart. Located just above the heart is the thymus gland, which plays a major role in the immune system of the body. In fact, T-cells are developed in the thymus gland, and that is where their name comes from: "thymus-derived" cells. There is a very close functional relationship between the heart and the thymus gland. If that area of the body is constantly overstimulated through the ingestion of coffee, it interferes with the normal functioning of the heart and immune system.

Meat: Modern medical science has fairly well documented the manner in which the fat content of meat, especially red meat, tends to clog various systems and organs within the body. However, there are two additional factors which receive lesser attention.

• First, the manner in which modern factory-farms raise livestock and poultry usually includes the addition of various antibiotics and other chemicals into the food-stream, or sometimes directly into the bloodstream of the animals. A recent example is the approval by the FDA to the addition of a genetically-altered hormone into milk-cows, to increase milk production. Antibiotics then need to be administered to offset some of the effects of the hormones. Many such chemicals tend to accumulate in the tissue of the animals, and when the meat is later ingested by humans, these residual toxins are ingested along with the meat. Although there is much yet to be learned about the so-called "mad cow disease", this is just another example of the potential dangers inherent in meat.

• Secondly, animals have thoughts and emotions similar to humans. Again, the manner in which modern factory-farms raise and slaughter animals creates a lot of stress and anxiety, which is stored in the cellular structure of the animals. When humans later ingest the flesh of such animals, they also ingest the discordant energies locked into the cellular structure. Thus, the reduction, or elimination of animal products from our diet can greatly assist our body in achieving a higher level of wellness.

Energetic Nutrition

Wisdom of Our Body

As our body gradually achieves a higher state of healthfulness, it becomes like a wonderfully tuned instrument. Thus, if we learn to listen to our body, it will tell us which foods it needs at any particular time. Likewise, it will tell us which foods are not being assimilated harmoniously into our body. In my own experience, I find that this varies considerably from week to week, or month to month. It is not unusual for my body to have a craving for a certain food for a period of time, and then I reach a point where that craving will abruptly disappear. If I continue to eat that particular food after the craving disappears, my body oftentimes reacts to the food in a negative manner.

There are various techniques, such as muscle testing, or the use of a pendulum, which can aid us in evaluating the energy content of food in relation to the current needs of our body.

As our body becomes more finely attuned, it becomes much more efficient, and thus we need less and less food to maintain a state of healthfulness. In fact, many of our "energetic" nutritional need can be absorbed directly from the sunlight. Thus our dependence on the photo-synthesis process of the plant kingdom is greatly reduced.

Breathing

There are at least three very important aspects related to breathing.

On a physical level, the lungs and the related oxygenation process are one of the primary cleansing systems of the body.

Secondly, on a subtle energy level, the inbreath brings pranic energy, or life-force, into our human energy field.

Finally, the act of breathing, and specifically the rhythm of our breathing, directly affects our mental and emotional states of being.

Many books and teachings are already available which deal with the importance of breath, so there is no need to go into further detail here. However, in my experience, there is one factor related to breathing that never seems to be adequately emphasized. That deals with the oxygen supply during our sleeping hours. Since much of the cleansing and regeneration within our body takes place during our sleep state, it is crucially important that we have a good supply of fresh air during those hours. It never ceases to amaze me as to how many people regularly sleep in a close room, with no external supply of fresh air.

Thoughts and Emotions

Fortunately, there is a growing awareness within humanity as to the effects of our thoughts and emotions on our overall health. Just as it is important to eliminate toxic substances from our food intake, it is equally important to reduce our exposure to "toxic", or "abusive" mental and emotional environments. Oftentimes this involves difficult choices in our lives as to the people which whom we choose to live or work.

Many of the healing therapies now in use are designed to help bring discordant energies, related to negative thoughts and emotions, to a conscious level, so that they can be released and healed. Also, there are a growing number of medical doctors, such as Deepak Chopra, who are helping to bridge an understanding within the medical profession of the relationship between our thoughts and emotions, and our overall health.

Although most of the therapies currently in use have value in dealing with experiences which have occurred in our current lifetime, many of them tend to be less effective in dealing with imbalances retained within the energy structure of our soul, which are the result of experiences in other lifetimes.

In the Overview, we indicated that a new dispensation, which we termed "Spiritual Transcendence," has been made available to each of us on Earth at this time to facilitate and accelerate the healing process. Many, many advanced beings are standing by within the non-physical realms to assist us with our healing. However, because of the universal principle of "non-interference," they are not permitted to directly involve themselves in our healing process until we request them to do so. Thus, it is crucially important to our healing process for us to consciously choose the path of Spiritual Transcendence, and to request assistance from the beings of Light and Love within the non-physical realms. Once we have earnestly put forth this request, the doors are then opened wide for assistance to flow to us. The healing processes which are discussed throughout the remainder of this section of the book are all predicated on our having made this request.

Much of the healing assistance comes to us during our sleeping hours. Oftentimes beings on the non-physical dimensions, in response to our request, come into our bedrooms while our body is in a restful state, and work on our energy fields. This process helps to release the discordant energies in a non-traumatic manner. If we are sensitive and alert, we may often feel the effects of this energy work after we return to a waking state of consciousness. We may experience the effects as a mild form of disorientation within our mental, emotional, and physical bodies. After the release of discordant energies from our soul and cellular structures, it may require a day or two, or perhaps even longer, to assimilate the changes, and return to a feeling of balance.
