BRING THE BODY BACK TO LOVE
Perceptual wellness
While many people categorize love as an emotion, love is something much more. Just because we can’t see love directly with our eyes or touch it will our hands doesn’t make it less powerful. Love heals. Love organizes. Love brings the body into being. Without love nothing exists. Even though love seems ethereal, sentimental and like something to be felt with those we consider loved ones, we are barely scratching the surface of the totality of love when we limit it in these ways. We’ve put love in a box rather than recognizing that love IS the box and everything else fits inside of it. Whatever you treat as outside of the box of love, is that which you will have to bring into it, in order to heal. All healing is a return to love. Nothing else will do the trick. No new method, strategy, practice or thought is the answer. You are the answer. The power to heal yourself resides within you because only you can decide what you will or won’t include inside of love.
Your inclusion, or lack there of, of this or that thing, person, situation or experience, doesn’t change the nature of those things as love, but it DOES change your fundamental experience of them. See everything is already in its whole and complete state in this very moment, and in every single moment that has ever occurred and will ever occur. The reason you don’t experience it as such is because your perception creates flaws, lack and wrongness. You view through eyes and a mind that sees deficit. Deficit means not whole. Not whole equals not healed. While many people might read that and think that it is just a game of mental gymnastics, it is much more. Most don’t really understand that their perception directly impacts their body and everything they think of as physical.
You can’t be rested in the perception of wholeness and be unwell at the same time. They are contradictory states. This doesn’t always mean that your body will express or behave in the ways that you think it should. Sometimes it won’t. It does however mean that you can experience wholeness (ie. being healed) regardless of the expressions that are present in your body. If you are waiting on the symptoms or sensations of your body to change so that you can experience being healed, you will likely be waiting your entire life. An example of this would be looking at a tree whose leaves had fallen off because it was the season for its leaves to fall, and then saying “The tree is sick and it won’t be healed until the leaves return.” People do this with their body all of the time. They wait for the body to express in some certain way that indicates to them that they are healed. While the body might align with our perception of how we think it should be behaving for a little while, then the season changes and there is a different expression. The tree doesn’t adopt the belief that it is unwell every time it loses a leaf. Be like the tree. Recognize your wellness is not in the expression of whatever is happening inside of your body, but rather in what is happening inside of your perception.
ALIGN THE BODY WITH LOVE
Bring everything inside of the box
Let’s make a distinction. There is the body and there is you. They are not the same. You are not your body. Your body has its own intelligence and is its own “being” so to speak. It knows how to regulate, repair and organize itself. You are the awareness inside of the body and actually all around the body too. Now your body does respond to you. There is a relationship between you and your body. Many people aren’t aware of this relationship. Most tend to relate to their body as an object rather than as an intelligent being. Due to this let’s say lack of relationship, we often feel helpless to the body’s expressions. We don’t understand them, we try to fix them because we fear they mean something is wrong and biggest of all we don’t listen. Why don’t we listen? Because we don’t even know that we can. We miss the communication from the body altogether and rather focus on trying to fix it in order to have it fit into our idea of what we think it should be.
Despite what it might feel like at times, your body is also not “out to get you”. In fact your body is completely neutral towards you. It doesn’t have an analytical mind like you do. It is just responding, and in fact listening very closely to you. It doesn’t have the same filters that you do, so it gets all of the information you are sending out. You can think of it as a one sided relationship where you do all the talking and it does all the listening. It’s out of balance. No relationship can sustain that type of dynamic for very long, but the body does the best it can. It is incredibly adaptable and will attempt to keep itself alive so that your awareness can continue to utilize it. This body is a gift for your awareness to use. It is not flawed or defective. It is just doing the best it can within its given context. Tend to it. Care for it. Listen when it speaks and nurture it the best you can. But also don’t be overly concerned or obsessed with it. Put good physical fuel into it, utilize it to go about the activities of life and realize that it knows how to run itself. It might not always run like you want it to, but just do your best with what you’ve been given.
What is of keen importance to pay attention to, is your alignment with love. Be obsessed with that. When you align with love, your body will receive that information from you. It will resonate with the information of love, which is the frequency of coherence (ie. wholeness or the healed state). This brings the body back to love. The body “struggles” when it doesn’t have the frequency of love to entrain to and with. Again it does the best it can with the information you give it regarding lack, wrongness, incompletion and non-wellness, but it has to respond to what you give it. The perceptual fuel of love is equally, and I would say more important, than the physical fuel you feed your body everyday.
How do you align with love? You know that feeling you have when you “fall in love”, well that is your true nature. Levity, openness, joy, passion, flowing, overflowing and easeful. It’s that feeling that all is well and that all is right in the world, and that’s because it is. When you come into alignment with the way things are you experience love. When you insist to see it in a way it isn’t, you suffer. This isn’t to ignore what needs attention, but rather to first see it clearly. Through clear sight you will take right action. Not from fighting what is, but from alignment with the truth of what is. Not your personality’s truth, but the truth of the heart.
Feel that feeling of being in love & come back to your box. What have you included and what have you left out of love? This is your map. Your work is to include everything you’ve put outside of the box & bring it back in. Once you do you will fully vibrate as the frequency of unconditional love, which is the frequency of the entire universe, & your body will come into alignment with love because it has no other choice.
