Healing and Evolution of Consciousness
This is a three part series that is about the themes or doorways to evolving consciousness. The doorways are healing, manifesting and transforming, aka personal and spiritual growth. In today’s post, we’ll take a look, from an energetic perspective, at the doorway of healing.
The Doorway of Healing
Our desire to heal can come from any level—physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. A unique aspect about healing is that a trauma that was created at any level can show up in any other level. Emotional wounds can show up mentally or physically while physical wounds can create a mental change. Any wounds that are not fully healed in a lifetime, move into the spiritual realm as karma so that we may heal them in a following lifetime.
Sometimes we don’t notice anything that needs to be healed within ourselves, but view external situations or relationships as needing the healing. All healing has an internal and external component to it and for complete healing both must be addressed. I refer to these two aspects as horizontal and vertical components. Vertical refers to everything within us, and our connections to heaven and Earth. It is fundamental to understanding who we are at an essential level. Horizontal refers to all that is around us. When we are fully in tune with the vertical then we can express this horizontally. It’s not enough to just be whole on all levels on the inside; it’s also what we choose to do with it that ultimately determines our mastery of being a human. In the Bhagavad-Gita, the sacred and ancient text of India, the terms jnana and vijnana describe the vertical and horizontal aspects of our being. Jnana is having awareness of deeper underlying wisdom, while vijnana is expressing that wisdom in daily life.
Sometimes healing one component, such as the horizontal, results in an instantaneous shift in the vertical or vice versa. Other times one component is healed and the other aspect comes later. This can be a frustrating time in the healing journey. We can feel the freedom throughout our life in one area but it doesn’t translate through all areas yet. Or we might not be aware of the healing we’ve achieved and we continue to try and heal what doesn’t need healing any more.
These kinds of problems arise when we don’t factor in the importance of timing when it comes to healing. Timing is a crucial element in healing, as in all areas of life. The Energy Body or innate intelligence of the body has a sense of order about healing. A simple example is one where an ankle can’t heal until the knee above it is healed, even though it is the ankle that is complaining the loudest. Trusting your own unique timing can help release stress and unhappiness.
Let us take a moment and explore the meaning of healing and disease. At its most fundamental level, disease refers to the fact that we have become distorted from our original energetic blueprint. We are familiar with the many of the tools of healing that modern society offers for disease. Herbs, surgery, acupuncture, psychology, and antibiotics are just a few. But what is healing itself? Healing is not just the absence of pain or uncomfortable symptoms. Healing refers to invoking unified states of order, alignment, integration and balance within our entire system. It creates synchronous relationships within our whole being. In short, we realign to our original blueprints.
Here is an important truth about healing. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to healing. We are hardwired with healing mechanisms. The body heals best when it’s given the right conditions and information, in the right timing and order. Granted this is no small task! But just being aware of these factors can help you navigate through a healing journey.
In the next post, we will explore evolution of consciousness through the doorway of manifesting.
