Healing: the mechanisms, losing & regaining health


In the very beginning, we first have an experience. Now just to be thorough, we are having this experience because it is are karma to have it. We have an opportunity of endless possibilities to interpret that experience physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. The interpretations will directly determine the direction of ones health and well being on all levels. Here karma plays its secondary role. Karma will lean us towards a certain group of possibilities. On one extreme, if that experience is fully integrated and we are not phased by it, then there is no problems, on the contrary, we use that very experience to shine brighter. However if we are not at a state to fully integrate the experience, we go to a different category. Whether partially or completely, this is where most of us find ourselves. Here we process as much of the experience as we can, while burying the rest of the un-integrated experiences deep within us (this holds true whether speaking in physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual terms). So just like when we bury something in the ground, the ground has to make room for that which is now occupying its space, similarly our body will have to distort in order to create space for this un-integrated experience, so our body (including the aura, chakras, subtle bodies etc.) goes through a process of distortions. This process is called Subluxation. Looking at this word we see "Sub" meaning less, Lux meaning Light, and ation meaning a condition of. So as our body goes through this transformation we are calling subluxation, it is reducing the amount of light we are shining through. This is a safety mechanism for several reasons.
1. If our ability to adapt is not limited, too much light is blinding to us and could even burn us.
2. Light is a medium used to gather information, if we are still having difficulty processing the information given to us (the experiences), then we don't need more coming in.

The issue that arises is, if we are in the dark or in a very dim lighting, we could not do our job or tasks very effectively. Shorty after a subluxation the body experiences a lack of harmony/dys-ease(lack of ease). Being uncomfortable is a great motivator to regain peace. To bring peace back, we have to integrate that which we have buried inside. If the un-ease is not enough motivation for us, then the body gives an outer and more visible manifestation of discomfort. It brings forth a symptom and if the symptom is not enough of a motivator, then the symptom gets worse until inevitably it turns to disease (which really is still a symptom, just a very serious one). A complete cycle of this multi step process could take as long as several decades.

So depending on where one is in the process of healing will determine what the body will go through. If there needs to be a cleansing process initially, to resolve the effects of symptoms, then the first process will be the releasing of toxins into the blood stream which results in a temporary exacerbation of symptoms (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually). After this cleansing process is finished, the second stage of healing starts. Here ultimately, the body reduces or eliminates the symptoms. If one is still engaged in regaining health, they enter into the next stage where the body starts regaining harmony. It will once again go through a cleanse (deeper this time) in order to resolve the effects of dys-harmony. Interestingly enough, during this stage, some of those old symptoms that we thought were resolved come back until the cleanse is complete. After this is done, one step at a time we get closer and closer to harmony. The beauty of this unfolding is, when seriously engaged in the healing process, we start really expanding the possibilities of interpretations of experiences. In each stage, we have a sense of greater and greater peace.

But on the other hand if we are chasing symptoms, health in its true sense could not be attained. There are many stages and cycles where symptoms are "active" and also stages where symptoms are "not" expressive (again, symptoms could be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual). This is why symptoms are not a good gauge to determine ones health. Sometimes, its a sign of a cleansing ... a sign of health & healing, while other times it is a indicator that something is not working properly.

In the beginning processes of each stage - when the body has to do a lot of clean up, it is natural for symptoms to be expressive. This is just the way the body cleans out the garbage. Lets take an extreme example to illustrate this clean up process. A heroin addict making full effort to quiet his drug habits ... goes to a special rehabilitation center to come off of the drugs. While there, he goes through many nights of restlessness and cold sweets, the shakes, fevers, freak out episodes etc. This goes on and on as the body continues to work towards regaining stability, harmony, and balance. Stopping or interfering with this process is stopping/interfering the detox process which is stopping/interfering the healing.
The depth of which we heal is synonymous to the depth or intensity of which we want to heal. If it is something that we want with the core of our being ... a "do or die" so to say, then it will be resolved. However, if there is some subtle part of us feeling scared or nervous to resolve issues, then that will limit our healing experience.

  1. Any health disharmony is a clear sign that there are some issues within (due to karma or present life experiences) that need to be overcome. One has to interpret them with high consciousness because any health problem is approved by God for our best interest. One has to look deep within, must be open to self and willing to accept presence of the problem. Most of all one has to be “do or die” in dealing with inner issues / health problems, very determined about resolving them and to believe in their resolving.
    Just give the best you can and everything else will God do for you.
    Well, at least, that has been my experience in healing.
    Thank you for sharing these articles which are helping us to learn more and understand better not just health issues but the process and depth of every inner unfolding.
    Thank you just for being.

  2. Thanks for sharing such useful and great information, Studies have shown that the chiropractic adjustment triggers the release of natural painkillers called endorphins and that swelling, inflammation and pain can reduce significantly after an adjustment.
