Journey of Healing
We notice that something's not right in the mindbody For example, varicose veins, perhaps being overweight, acid indigestion periodically
In that awareness may be the beginning of a journey
The end of the journey is resolution of the problem, whatever it may be
But here's the hooker Questions mount by the mind How long will this take? Will I ever get there? What will I need to do to make it happen? Who will I need along on my journey?
And along the journey Will we ever get there? Am I wasting my time? Is this the right thing to do? Maybe I should be doing something different? Who said this is the right way? Are these the right materials to use?
This incessant questionning by the mind raising doubts are a result of fear
Fear? "Fear of what?", you ask
Not knowing. And this is a result of being out of control And everyone wants to be in control
But the secret here is, we are not in control Sorry to have to break this bad news but it is a fact
We may think we are but we are not
So the biggest obstacle to healing is fear and our loss of control that we thought we have but we don't
And it begins with that first step of awareness Hey something's not quite right(eg varicose veins) Or, hey something's definitely wrong(eg cancer)
And at the end of the journey lies the joy, pleasure, and excitement of overcoming adversity which was primarily the fear residing in the mindbody! You chose and overcame the mind and its fear
You see, the major obstacle to healing anything in the mindbody is not the cancer or the varicose veins It's the mind in fear
Have you ever witnessed the fear of the unknown-a trip, health challenge? Did it seem insurmountable at first? Does this fear seem to get played out over and over again in your life?
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
