HEALING
“Truth is like a jewel, like a diamond. It has many facets. If you look at only one side, you will not see the whole picture. What you see depends on how you look at it.”
~Grand Master
WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?
The term Alternative Medicine means any form of medicine that is outside the mainstream of western medicine or conventional medicine as practiced by a majority of doctors today. This term is loosely used to cover all forms of medicine except allopathy. In 1973, the Medical Faculty of the University of Rome convened the first World Congress of Alternative Medicines and the provisional program contained no less than 135 therapies.
Alternative medicine exists in all cultures to some degree and terms such as traditional medicine, indigenous medicine or folk medicine etc. are used to describe such practices. These medicines date back hundreds or even thousands of years depending on the country and culture concerned.
There are more than 100 systems of alternative medicines still in practice all over the world. Every country, region or area has its own traditional system of health and medical cares such as: for the Chinese it is acupuncture, for the French, magnetic healing; for the Germans, Heilpraxis; for the English, Herbalism; for India, Ayurveda with Siddha being widely practice in the southern part of the country; for Japan, Shiatsu etc.
The most popular forms of alternative medicine are Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Yoga, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Magneto therapy, Shiatsu, Herbalism, Meditation, Aromatherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, Chromo therapy, Diet therapy, Hydropathy and Reiki.
There are Five basic areas to work in the quest for healing. Before considering any of these there are some questions you should ask yourself.
What is your idea of healing? Is it freedom from pain, or the ability to move freely, or eliminating medications that you feel are blocking your real healing?
Whom do you trust to help you with your healing? Do you believe healing is permanent or cyclical? Where do you think that healing comes from? How long do you feel that healing will take and how long will it last?
WHAT BLOCKS HEALING?
Five Basic Requirements for Healing
- Balance
- Growth or Change
- Relationships
- Healing Environment
- Systems
These requirements are present on three levels: Body Mind and Spirit
BALANCE
Balance is the absence of extremes in the five basic requirements. In achieving balance you must place yourself in a Center for retreat when stress emerges. Instead of fleeing from fear and anger you will find your Center where negative feelings and emotions can be neutralized.
Centering, based on your own basic beliefs, can be achieved through Chakra clearing, Energy work, Karma cleansing, Feng Shui, Body Posture and Movement, Sleep, Meditation and Silence.
Here is your chance to build a center for yourself using any of the tools above or another of your choice. Visualizing yourself in an atmosphere of peace and beauty is a good start. I always choose to be on a black sand beach, with palm trees, stroking the neck of my animal spirit guide, a white horse named Pax.
Hypnotherapy, by a practitioner you trust, is a good way to break through to your power to become balanced. Balance is a state that no other person can give you. Only you have the power and the intent. The trick is to create Balance in Body, Mind and Spirit. Just for a little homework write down possible methods to achieve Balance on all three levels.
A personal Shrine or quiet place offers a Gateway to peace and cleansing of the debris of everyday life. Perhaps an empty closet or a grotto in the woods. Populate your shrine with items of meaning and endearment to you. Photos of loved ones, beautiful sculpture, icons, books, silk tapestry, pillows, candles, crystals, mirrors, music, aroma. I purchased an old dressing table at a sidewalk sale. It has an angel snowglobe, some candles, my favorite rock specimens, some jewelry, candles and a silk piano scarf in rose pink with draping lavender fringe. I can tilt the mirror to reflect the items back to me.
Your shrine can be in your heart. It is a place of peace, quiet and meditation. It is a place where you meet the Master. You need only be still riding on the bus, waiting at the airport, during the SAT test, while sitting in the principal’s office. After practice you will find your center has more power that the stressful situations around you, and you can carry this power with you. It is more important than your cell phone.
GROWTH OR CHANGE
Healing takes place in the process of Growth or Change. Your perception tells you that things that do not flow with the energy of the universe are resistant to change. Resistance to change causes friction, stress, decay. What you are looking for is Transformation.
You have been changing and growing since before you were born in this world. Change is the one law of the universe that you do not want to break. Growth and Change open your life to the influx of blessings that spirit has stored for you. Don’t fear the changes that you expect. They are all designed as part of the Universal Plan to bring you to the Center of All Centers.
Spirit is constantly creating and flowing blessings just for you. The Hopi Indians believe that those who connect to spirit teaching (and lead their tribes in planting, living, healing and mourning ) have an “open door in the top of their heads” that allows the Great Spirit in to guide them. Those without doors live without fulfillment and eventually wither and die.
During your cycle as a human you will gather much knowledge through study and reading. Social interaction will be a learning process throughout this lifetime. You will learn to add new interests to your life, to sacrifice to achieve goals, and to enjoy the pleasures the senses. Think music, chocolate, sunshine, waterfalls, roses, kisses, laughter, dancing.
Service to others takes you out of yourself. In The Second Book of the Tao by Stephen Mitchell he recommends living life as though you didn’t exist. Think of how you will be changed. While you are thinking of non-existence also practice Silence. Dr. Sha in his book Tao II
Lifestyle
Very few are willing to change or give up a current lifestyle that may be the underlying cause of dis-ease. Here, the application of common sense principles will tell the tale. Are you staying out late and partying, drinking, overeating? Are you addicted to gaming on-line or gambling at casinos, or playing electronic war games? Do you work over sixty hours a week at a job you don’t like? Are you an adrenalin junkie taking risks in dangerous pursuits? Do you sleep all day while your environment falls into chaos and disrepair? Do arguments with your kids or spouse fill your mind with anger and resentment? Addictions to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food, sex and emotions all have a negative effect on health. These are just samples of destructive lifestyle choices that should be eliminated.
My Aunt once developed an enormous oozing protruding sore on her nose. It grew to an embarrassing size and finally someone in the family asked her what it was. Without hesitation she declared, “It’s Resentment!” She was a devout Christian Scientist and understood the villainy of negative emotions in her environment. Soon afterwards she and my Uncle moved to Florida and she was restored to her former elegant self in an environment she respected.
During your period of seeking — a process of elimination flushes out whatever is harmful or toxic to you. Everyone’s list of negatives is different. Remember the old saying, “To each his own poison.” I love to hear someone is making a decision to try something new. It is like green is the new black, or adventure is the new healing.
RELATIONSHIPS
Abraham Hicks repeats the theme of the Law of Attraction over and over. After awhile you get it ...that you attract what you create in your mind. If this is true and you believe it ... Then you know the importance of positive thinking. Many women say, “I guess I just attract the wrong men!” What!!! Right thinking and intent will bring the perfect partner. Be careful what you wish for.
All aspects of LIFE are inter-connected and interactive. Your relationships to your family, friends, community and self are all connected. Self hatred is the most destructive aspect of all. If you condemn yourself with guilt, rage and despair you become vulnerable to emotional toxins and poisons. If you attract likewise people to your circle then you become a pair or group of people drowning in negativity. The antidote is to Love yourself and open the door in your head to the spiritual blessings that are actually already in your mental and causal storehouse.
Partnerships foster, cooperation, support, sharing, protection, and strength. A carefully woven web of family and social contacts with positive and loving partners makes you as strong as a great general with an army of thousands.
Great relationships are based on empathy. Caring for and loving others regardless of their situation or circumstance is a path to sainthood. Serving others is the first best step to clearing your Karma of the debris of past mistakes. Learning to love unconditionally will make you a magnet to health, success and the underlying joy of creation. People who love others more than themselves often are imbued with super-human abilities to see the future and heal.
Near death experiences always change the entity. Closing in on the pure essence of Spirit brings near death victims to Center and their eyes are opened in Spirit. They have a different point of view for living and dying. The shock of closeness to God shakes them up to the importance of lovingly living.
HEALING ENVIRONMENT
Ram Das named his book “Be here now.” The Zen of this statement applies on the body, mind and spirit levels. Where you are is not just a geographical location, or a level of achievement or a good mood.
We are all on a journey to find our true authentic selves. When we do realize who and where we are, it is a shocking revelation that takes us back to where we began. The journey is populated with failure and success (subjectively). It is full of dreams, visions, acquisitions, losses, jackpots, broken bodies, trophies, flights in fear, lovemaking, learning and the varied experiences of living. If we believe that we deserve what we get, then it behooves us to behave in a way that attracts truth and beauty to our lives.
First, you may find that fine-tuning your thoughts and actions to abide by the laws of attraction will draw you nearer to your ‘ruling love’ (ref. Heaven and Hell—Emanuel Swedenborg), and bring enlightenment to you, fulfilling your desires.
T'was a time when everyone wanted enormous homes, European cars, unlimited bank accounts, a face without wrinkles, two or three perfect children, a PHD, the presidency of a company ... and so on. After several years of suffering to supply these, most of us have figured out that these goals are only temporary fixes. The stress that accompanies getting “more stuff” makes it too costly to your sanity and health.
Now, a trend is forming that stimulates us to simplify our lives, shed the extra baggage, and in many ways draw closer to earth, spirt, nature, the universe and love. Just writing this paragraph has lifted a weight from my heart.
Heaviness of struggling to acquire, with no thought of feeding the soul, can have devastating effects on the health of the body. The stress of clinging to false beliefs and building barriers with objects and possessions from the environment, pulls down on the body systems and strains the very cells of the brain and body. This process lowers immunity, leaving the body vulnerable to dis-ease. Ignorance of this process is no excuse. It cannot be denied or blocked out.
The magnificent brain becomes un-centered, looses focus and receives input from negative thoughts. Instead, consider the prospect of “Let go, and let God.” Allow the brain to center on positive affirmations, thoughts of love. Sink into a relaxed state — and listen to thoughts that originate from Spirit. Whether you call it prayer or meditation; in this environment you will find the source of creativity, love and beauty in your life.
Just by doing a one-eighty from satisfying the quest for the material, but instead, loving and caring for your precious soul and spirit, turns your life around. Now, instead of suffering, you feel fulfillment, inspiration, elevation, and connection with your real true self.
Having centered on the thoughts of this healing project has sensitized me to attract the tools and ideas I need. First, I was gifted with a new computer, where I spend most of my time. Then, as I walked down the aisle of my favorite Goodwill store a book caught me eye and I grabbed it as if it would fly away. The book is Tao II, The Way Of Healing, Rejuvenation, Longevity, and Immortality by Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha. Master Sha says, “In the twentieth century and for centuries before, mind over matter played a vital role in healing, rejuvenation, and life transformation. In the Soul Light Era, soul over matter —Soul Power—will play the vital role to heal, rejuvenate, and transform all life".
Master Sha says the three vital purposes of all souls are to SERVE, HEAL, and TEACH. Every soul has its own spiritual standing and Three Empowerments to Heal, Rejuvenate and Transform life. He calls now the Soul Light Era and says it began August 8, 2003 and will last 23,000 years. During this time The Souls of man, animals, trees and plants, oceans, earth, and all universes have superseded the physical forms and are now in control. “The Soul is Boss.”
If you use your empowerments in “unpleasant” service your reward is: ...“sickness, accidents, injuries, financial challenges, broken relationships, emotional imbalances, mental confusion and any kind of disorder in one’s life” Divine Service brings blessings of: “universal love, forgiveness, peace, healing, blessings, harmony and enlightenment.”
Dr. and Master Sha has studied Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Kung Fu, Feng Shui, and Soul Transformation. He has written a book “Soul Mind Body Medicine. His web site is www.drsha.com Dr. Sha (pronounced shah) has been recommended by Marianne Williamson, John Gray, Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, Dr. Masaru Emoto, and many others. His book Tao II is on the National Bestseller list, New York Times® Bestseller, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller.
