Issue 71: Freedom

Freedom

Before I embarked onto the healing and spiritual path, my concept of reality and existence was very different. In my mind, freedom pertained to what was more in the physical sense. The more I read and the more I listened to the world around me, the more I realized that many of us are prisoners of our own minds and we don’t even know it. And so, if we are not aware that we are in a cage of our own making, how do we escape? Are we really able to escape something we don’t know? Inevitably we do if and only if we have decided to move forward away from the comfort zone.

If we recognize our current situation, then we can extricate ourselves. Many, however, live the life that has been handed down to us and we end up dying not knowing that we could have done more with our life. Whether it is a new skill, a new craft, a new language, or a new business we are pursuing, we first have to confront the preprogrammed mindset (subconscious) that knows us as the person before we got interested in the new thing.

There will be repeated attempts by the subconscious mind to convince us to abandon the new ideas we have to change or improve ourselves and to return to familiar ways. I typically encounter this very phenomenon when clients with chronic issues decide that they want to do more to improve and heal themselves completely. These individuals are either on a polypharmacy of drugs and are either experiencing adverse effects from them or they are no longer effective and they have run out of things to try or both. Then, there are those who are strongly against taking any kind of drugs from the get-go.

Before they begin the program I’ve designed for them, I remind them that their egoic mind is going to want them to produce evidence that whatever they are doing is working. So, they need to remember that before there are obvious results, enough time has to pass to reach a threshold for our primitive 5 senses to detect. I remind them of an example of a bowl of 1000 red buttons that we want to convert into a bowl of 1000 green buttons. If we were to put in one green button each day in exchange for a red button, after 7 days, it is unlikely we would see the evidence of change but we know that we did put in at least 7 green buttons that are likely at the bottom of the bowl.

No matter how minute the change, the eventual outcome will be different from what was before. It is inevitable as long as the individual really wants this and is consistent and persistent with the transformational program. So many give up prematurely, but I find it curious that when we give up, where exactly are we going to? We are going back to the way it was before we started. Personal development author Earl Nightingale says,

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

We need to also remember that if up until now, we have been feeling poorly with some physical or mental ailment, we tend to be tempted to allow our present circumstances dictate our status. We have been conditioned by the body to accept the fact that we will never get better. This is an illusion. If we realize this, we can rise above it by remembering what Buckminster Fuller says,

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Neuroscience research indicates that in order to heal what ails us, or for that matter, change any aspect of our lives, we have to discard the old image and instead, hold a new image of ourselves, for instance, of being healthy and strong; and then, keep that new image in the mind consistently, act as that new person, until the preprogrammed mindset accepts it (when enough green buttons have replaced the red buttons). If we change the way we think about our body, our body changes. If we change the way we think about our health, our health changes. If we change the way we think about our life, our life changes.

It would be synonymous with planting a new seed to grow a new tree. We become the new tree while we stop watering the old one, thereby neglecting it so it will die off; and as we assign our old identity with chronic illness to that old tree, the illness dies with it. The mind actually accepts this and generates new positive healing thoughts, which then vibrates with an energetic frequency that then travels down to the body; and, the body has no choice but to comply, being the faithful, unquestioning servant of the mind.

Once we master this understanding of how the mind and body work together, through proper navigation in a certain way, we can become what we want to become, feel the way we want to feel, and have the life we want to have. This is happiness. This is freedom.

Meditation and Relaxation

1) If you haven’t written down your 8 to 10 things you’re grateful for including things you are wishing for in the future, do so now and spend a minute with each one and really feel them.

2) Find a quiet place to sit up comfortably and close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose or through pursed lips and follow the breath all the way down into the belly (5-7 seconds). Then, release the breath through pursed lips and follow the breath all the way down into the belly (5-7 seconds). Repeat 2-3 times or more.

3) Meridian points to access

—Chest points, one or both sides

—Blade of hand, keep to one side or alternate both sides

—Brow point, one or both sides

—Corner of eye, one or both sides

—Under the eye, top of cheek bone, one or both sides

—Chest points, one or both sides

—Under the nose above the upper lip

—Under the lower lip at the dip

4) Intentional Statement-Questions

—How are extraordinary things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are incredible things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are amazing things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are magnificent things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are marvelous things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are awesome things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

—How are magical things happening in my life now that I didn’t notice before?

5) Return to the breathing exercises in 2) and then you can choose to sit longer in silent reflection or slowing come out into the present moment or go to sleep if it is night time.
