What Are Healing Symptoms?

I’ ve been meditation this for totally some time and think we don’ t figure out our physical symptoms from our body since of how we feel about them. Most people muse their symptoms as a nuisance, undesired, unwanted and feel they cause them pain. So it is understandably a natural desire and reaction to want to get rid of them. Might there be and way to look at them?

Lately I have come to the conclusion that ALL physical symptoms that the body is making are for the proposal to restore homeostasis or harmony back to the body, thusly they are ALL good. If this is true, then to treat any symptom – no matter the propitious of treatment: medical or natural – with the goal to have the symptom go away, is bad now it prevents the body from working to restore the body back to balance. In upshot one has put a stopper in the bodies natural path it was using to restore a balance. The symptom exists due to the bodies’ aim to restore inner harmony; it is an apparent movement to the surface to expel unwanted items that are harming the chemistry. This is true of every symptom.

The best thing to do with symptoms is to detect and question them to find out about what might be causing them, so that one might present to the root cause of the problem and be able to take corrective steps to simplify the healing process. Eliminating a symptom will never cure the problem that just caused the symptom. Most oftentimes the end product of symptom elimination is that one feels like the problem is gone and consequently there is goose egg more to work on, one becomes complacent. This mistaken way of thinking then has the follow up that the underlying imbalance grows and gradually becomes more life threatening.

One might compare notes the circumstances of someone in extreme pain from a growing cancer, that this symptom can’ t be good, that to not treat it then the person would die. I won’ t altercate that this is not true and consent that object should be done to stop the cancer to save the life. When the body becomes surpassingly out of balance and the life of the entity becomes threatened, and then the body will increase its sweat to restore the balance to save the entity.

I don’ t know what the answer is but somehow I know the cancer is a symptom being produced by the management trying to restore inner balance.

The out of power growth of the cancer and intense energy being exerted to save the entity is losing the battle. So cancer tells me that there is something seriously not working in the body, but it’ s not the cancer itself. Therefrom there is increasing sensation and intensity of pain the more life - threatening the problem as the healing sensation intensifies. I do consider that anyone facing a life threatening locality will benefit strikingly by learning to not spot with the pain and just be able to behold it, perhaps this capacity even be enough to turn the locus around.

Personally, I have faced extreme pain ( mental, emotional and physical ) at different times of my life and from these experiences I eventually experienced that my feeling of pain had to do totally with my identification with my say so. It was up to me on what experience I would have. I maxim it could be painful, striking or none of those. How I chose to docket and experience it, was how it was. When pain would increase then it drove me to the center, as the bystander, smartly due to to stay identified with the pain, became ‘ unbearable’. Pain is one of our greatest teachers, teaching us how to surrender.

Pain is what most people skyrocket in on when there are arising symptoms, which is why the magnificent leaning prevails that symptoms are bad and need to be eliminated. Behind the sensation of pain there is a strong healing energy at work, the body is working on correcting the problem in the tissues whether it be mental, emotional or physical. Pain doesn’ t have to be one’ s experience, if one can behold the post of pain in the body with detached awareness and cleverly feel the present sensation, one might eventually beam that there is also arising pleasure as the area is worked on. The healing energy that is at the same time causing pain is also causing pleasure – underlying this healing energy there is a process of transformation happening. You can tune into either one of them, but neither one is the truth. The truth rests within the bystander, with nipping impartiality and no need to classify an experience as either causing pleasure or pain.
