What Are Healing Symptoms?

I’ ve been deliberation this for wholly some time and think we don’ t distinguish our physical symptoms from our body thanks to of how we feel about them. Most people grant their symptoms as a nuisance, undesired, unwanted and feel they cause them pain. So it is understandably a natural wanting and reaction to want to get rid of them. Might there be in addition way to look at them?

Lately I have come to the conclusion that ALL physical symptoms that the body is making are for the end 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 friendly of treatment: medical or natural – with the goal to have the symptom go away, is bad because it prevents the body from working to restore the body back to balance. In aftermath one has put a stopper in the bodies natural path it was using to restore a balance. The symptom exists due to the bodies’ try to restore inner harmony; it is an out movement to the surface to expel unwanted items that are harming the make-up. This is true of every symptom.

The best thing to do with symptoms is to mind and matter them to find out about what might be causing them, so that one might pop in to the root cause of the problem and be able to take corrective steps to walk through the healing process. Eliminating a symptom will never cure the problem that truly caused the symptom. Most generally the effect of symptom elimination is that one feels like the problem is gone and thereupon there is wind more to work on, one becomes complacent. This mistaken way of thinking then has the spin-off that the underlying imbalance grows and gradually becomes more life threatening.

One might altercate the case 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 hash over that this is not true and play ball that individual should be done to stop the cancer to save the life. When the body becomes parlous out of balance and the life of the entity becomes threatened, and then the body will increase its pull 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 constitution trying to restore inner balance.

The out of supremacy 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 mistaken in the body, but it’ s not the cancer itself. Consequently there is increasing sensation and intensity of pain the more life - threatening the problem as the healing sensation intensifies. I do have that anyone facing a life threatening situation will benefit indeed by learning to not spot with the pain and just be able to distinguish it, perhaps this adeptness even be enough to turn the locality around.

Personally, I have faced extreme pain ( mental, emotional and physical ) at different times of my life and from these experiences I eventually apprised that my semblance of pain had to do totally with my identification with my attitude. It was up to me on what experience I would have. I proverb it could be painful, impressive or none of those. How I chose to marker and experience it, was how it was. When pain would increase then it drove me to the polestar, as the watcher, smartly being 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 dart in on when there are arising symptoms, which is why the numero uno view 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 dig the footing of pain in the body with detached awareness and cleverly feel the bona fide sensation, one might eventually recognize 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 air-conditioned equitability and no need to label an experience as either causing pleasure or pain.
