Where your attention goes your energy flows.
Think about how we direct energy. Goals, playing a game, conversations, at work, relationships, in all cases we are directing energy in some way, just as we do when working out, running or weight lifting.
You are in relationship, business, lovers, parent and child, we focus attention into it, and we are also familiar what happens when we stop putting attention into a relationship. Our spouse become grouchy, our kids angry with us, our business partnership become shaky, and the list goes on. We are directors of attention “Energy in Action”.
We realize that attention causes action. What does this have to do with self-healing, everything.
It is the same when you put or do not put your attention into your arthritis or any disease you might have including stress, ulcers, high blood pressure, over weight and so on. Our attention causes interaction we start relating, we take some responsibility for what is happening. Responsibility often has a negative context in our society it carries guilt; responsibility means the ability to respond, so it has nothing do to with blame.
A story, my foot had swollen especially the big toe, I grew a bunion, the foot was very painful I was on crutches for a while and limping for months. I was tested for Gout all test came back negative it was arthritis. I could suffer, take pain pills, hope for the best, get shots, but I knew that all of these actions would be focused on the symptoms and not the cause. I wanted over the problem not just a band aid.
So I decided to get involved by meditating twice a day for twenty minutes, using creative visualization I imagined energy flowing into the swollen foot, then I would see it normal and healed and especially I would feel myself walking normally. I engaged in the problem, I wasn’t trying to escape, avoid or get away from it.
In our relationships with lovers, children, business, when they become painful, frustrating, irritating we often try to avoid contact, discussion or communication we try to get away from it, we want to be comfortable so we put our attention elsewhere. And the problem often gets worse or lingers as a constant irritation.
When we invest time, communication techniques for problem solving we begin to find solutions.
Back to the foot, during the time I am focused on healing the foot which was close to three months, I experience grief, sadness, terrible feeling of despair. I realized my foot was a metaphor for my fears of stepping out into the world, my anger at not having enough courage and the held feeling of despair that I experienced as an abused child. I also got that my thinking had become ridged with fear just as my foot had become ridged with arthritis. After two months I am waking up in the morning with almost no swelling, and most of the intense emotions were gone. By the end of three months I was healed and walking normally. This was accomplished mainly by “Creative Visualization combined with Feelings” I also did get a bit of reflexology and acupuncture. No pharmaceuticals were used. Oh yes the bunion disappeared that is not suppose to happen by the way. Attention causes action my focusing in the way that I did caused my body chemistry and my energy to go into healing action.
In many instances people do not want to be involved in a painful situation be it a relationship or a physical problem. We try to escape by giving up and using drugs, alcohol, depression and many other means of avoidance. When we take responsibility and respond to the problem now we can focus our energy into healing.
No healer, pharmaceutical or Dr heals us we all heal our self, that does not mean that we don’t enlist the aid of other modalities when necessary, but we respond and get involved in the solution. “Creative Visualization” is we using the healing process on a conscious level. Simply put we are willing to be engaged in the process.
Where your attention goes your energy flows.
