Your Body's wisdom

Deep inside Your Body
there is the most incredible Cosmic Wisdom

In many spiritual traditions, perhaps more in those which have been led by a male-dominated priesthood, the body has often been seen as the “weaker member” in that bodysoul complex we call human life. Much that is associated with the “unedited physical” is subjected to being trained and buffeted into higher service, in order to be “whole”; especially in our western society our medical systems are geared mainly to help us subdue the body so that it “serves” our ideas of how we should be.

The idea of strengthening the sinews has much to recommend it, but it comes at a life-threatening price, as the financial and moral cost of modern medicine shows; and at a deeper level many of us lose that innate feeling for the wisdom of the body – those feelings which show us what is more truthful and what is less (even in such mundane matters as “shall I have another piece of chocolate?”)

Anyone who gives or receives massage and any other form of bodywork will know how important listening to the body is; when we spend time becoming more and more aware of those signals with which the body communicates its needs, we also become more intimate with the rhythms of healing which are possible.

The vibrational resonances referred to on the Cosmic Zap page were first noticed not as words or ideas or concepts, but as rivers of tingling throughout the body. These tinglings had their own wisdom which was not logical in terms of why-here? or does-this-connect-there? They were like suddenly re-discovered rivers which had long forged their own valleys in a hitherto hidden landscape, now brought into view.

The expanded vibrations have come as an opening into what the shamans call “other timelines” - scientists and spiritual practitioners are now understanding in accordance with ancient shamanism that there are many parallel possibilities all existing at once. Though we have usually only been able consciously to be part of one-timeline-at-a-time on Earth, now the timelines are beginning to intertwine; it is these rivers of tingling which are the key to experiencing multiple realities. The vibrational rivers are also the key to being able to choose different possible futures and the kinds of healing we would like to experience in our lives, medical and spiritual, and in our relationships with one another and the Earth.

All of this can present a problem for anyone used to living primarily through deciding first and then getting the body to do what we have decided. It can take quite a lot of discipline just to let go and surrender to what is going on in this fantastic instrument of flesh, bone, blood, energy, nervous and lymphatic systems and so much more. Unforced natural breathing really helps; anyone who has done yoga or free dance or other natural body-freeing physical activities will have a closer path to experiencing the rhythms which are related to the healing vibrations.

How the healing vibrations start is a wisdom-of-its-own. Allowing oneself to be free to feel the body more and more easily makes it easier for the vibrations to find their way.

Personally, I feel that a prayerful container is important. Prayer in a wordless respect of the Infinite, or in any spiritual tradition which is affirmative of goodness and progress in alignment with the best for everyone and everything, will ground this process in safety.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Pray before you relax into beingness. Every time!
