The Secret Language of Your Body M


onday mornings we have more suicides, strokes, illnesses and heart attacks. I think our bodies are trying very hard to tell us something about how our lives, jobs, relation- ships and attitudes affect our bodies and our health.


Centuries ago in the Gospel of St. Thomas, Jesus shared these


words: “If you bring forth what is within you what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” If we do not pay attention to our feelings and the messages from our body then our body will assume we do not enjoy life and get us out of here as quickly as possible.


His words present us with further insight; He who seeks to


save his life will lose it but he who is willing to lose his life will save it. To stop living your untrue self’s life, which others imposed upon you, and to eliminate not yourself but what is killing you. Thus, by paying attention to the messages from within your body, saving your life.


What we have to say is never anything new but it is practical and oriented to your life and time. Yes, you can be born again and restore your body to its healthiest state while letting it guide you to healing your life. A healed life carries many benefi ts, one of which can be a cured disease. Just as bacteria, viruses and plants alter their genetic make up to resist antibiotics, vaccines and weather changes, we are capable of inner healing too. It is a lot harder for us because our lives are a lot more complicated, but if we listen to the messages from our intelligent cells and create an internal envi- ronment which nurtures life than self-induced healing can become a more frequent occurrence.

First, you must be willing to pay attention to your body and feelings and not live solely in your head and thoughts. Distractions and drugs are not the proper response to your feelings. As a lawyer said in a time of crisis, and being a lawyer can be a serious illness, “I came to a conclusion that was imminently reasonable, totally logical and completely wrong because while learning to think I almost forgot how to feel.”


The reason most people have a hard time paying attention to their feelings is because their feelings are painful. The majority of people grow up with mottoes to die by rather than mottoes to live by. They need to abandon their painful pasts and get over the destructive messages received from various authority fi gures such as parents, teachers, clergy, doctors and others. The effect of their words upon children, up to the age of six, is hypnotic and very diffi cult for them to overcome when they grow older and become conscious of the destructive nature of the messages and the toll they are taking upon their bodies and health. Often the search for better feelings leads to a variety of addictions and violent behavior due to their damaged nervous systems.


The language of your body doesn’t have to remain a secret.


We do not want you to awaken to life due to a major disaster to become strong at the broken places. We would like you to learn from your body how to survive and be strong enough to stand up to the forces of nature while still supple enough to bend when the circumstances require it. By bringing meaning to your symptoms you can be guided to heal. Pain is necessary for us to protect and defi ne ourselves. If we never experienced pain it would be a disaster for our lives and bodies. But when we give the pain or affl iction meaning we do not have to suffer. Pain and suffering are two distinct entities. Consciousness is non-local and we need to tune into the messages we are receiving. Since organ recipients can tell you about the lives of their donors we must realize our life is stored within us.
