Dear Higher Self: My physical body has been quite a challenge in the last few months and things seem to be getting worse, that is, now I have this breast discomfort and the hip discomfort is getting intense; I have the issue with my finger, and my foot is healing ever so slowly. Why do I have this plethora of maladies? I’m trying hard to eat right and get enough water and minerals and vitamins. But still – the discomforts persist. Please help.

Indeed, this is a time of recuperation and regeneration, and of learning. You see, when we have discomforts, our mind is forced to recognize that which brings us discomfort – and to observe that we are more than just the business of our daily lives. When we are in discomfort, we must pause to acknowledge that the physical body is the temple of the soul and as such it must be honored, appreciated, valued and respected in new ways.

You see, the body is always speaking to us, but do we heed? Do we listen to the nuances of speech that the body engages with us? Oftentimes we do not. And so therefore the body must find ways to speak loudly enough so that we will listen.

Now the body has your attention. So the key now is to understand what the body is saying. Have you been getting the minerals that you need? Are you supporting the optimal PH levels in your blood? Are you giving your body the necessary nutrients and protein and oxygen and all the essential amino acids? Are you polluting yourself in any ways?

You must acknowledge, too, that you have lived for a good number of years and that within those years you have not always been kind to your body. Smoking, drinking, and excesses and deficiencies can come knocking on your door years later even as you have made radical and ongoing changes over the years.

The body is truly a miracle of creation. There is hardly another creation in the universe, the known universe of man, that rivals the earthly human, physical body in terms of its perfection, its symmetry, its loveliness, its aesthetics, its purity, its imaging of God and spirit. Indeed, the human body is a miracle of creation.

But as humankind, you have not always appreciated these attributes. Indeed, you, collectively, have violated them. And so the body, the beautiful body, must account for these violations in the only way it knows: it changes to show you the outcome of your free will, free choice and free intention.

Now, you must understand that the body is truly a creation of your own making, but it is also embued with spirit consciousness, that is, the very essence of you IS your Spirit Consciousness, and as such, you, then, and your physical body, are intertwined as Spirit Consciousness. And Spirit Consciousness recognizes that you have free will, free choice and free intention to create whatever you think about. We become what we think about, and what we think about, we do.

So you can take inventory of those things that you have done, that you have thought, that you have BEEN, and you can understand that these thoughts and actions have become your physical reality.

So, herewith is a grand challenge: to accept that you are a creator, and that your creations have meaning, and that you can change your creations with your power of thought and with your power to create in the physical world just as you create within the world of your mind, your emotions, and your spirit senses.

You ARE a creator and as such, you are responsible for your creations. So now you may ask, “What do I wish to create? Do I want to restore my body to its perfection? Do I believe that I am subject to the fears of my past, or do I believe that I have the power to change myself, my thinking, my body, and my life?”

You do indeed have this power to change all that you are. You see, you can change whatever you wish. But you must have a plan of action, and you must see it through.

So here is a plan of action for you to consider in terms of healing those so-called maladies:

1. Understand, accept, acknowledge and respect each one for the lesson that it is showing you. With your hip, you are learning that mobility is essential in your daily life, and that sitting, while important for your job, is not always pleasing to your physical system. You must move more. You must make a point to move more and to engage the body in motion. Let your cells breathe and dance. Go to a masseuse. Let your body be invigorated. Have NDP done. Work on those nerves. Revitalize the sensory connections within and let your body sing once again. Do not believe that these changes will happen overnight. They will not. You must be patient and you must be diligent and you must have faith that your choices, your mental choices, will manifest physically if you make the commitment and follow through.

2. Now, you wonder about the tenderness in your breast. This is indeed an issue to track. Perhaps you have a low grade, opportunistic infection that is deciding what it wants to do. It is imperative that you allow your blood and your fluids to maintain optimal PH levels so that you can replenish the blood supply to areas that need it, and to allow comfort in those areas that want to rest. Now, do not be afraid. Your fear can cause harm and can delay your healing. Focus on what you want, not on what you do not want. Send energy to your breast. You do not want to have to take antibiotics. This illness, this dis-ease, can be cured through natural methods. Read in your book of natural remedies. You can find a cure but you must be diligent. This is about a lifestyle change. It is time for some big changes. If you make these changes, you can find comfort.

3. With respect to the fingers, you are finding ways to treat this. Go natural. Avoid the cortisone and rather use the tea tree oil. Just stick with it. Have faith. Send energy to your fingertips. Be a friend of your body. Support the body chemistry that will allow your skin to breathe life and joy again. Your skin is akin to the lungs. Both breathe. Both are there to support you in living a vital life. Moisturize your skin. Nurture it. Be kind to your skin.

4. With your foot, time will heal this wound. You do indeed need time to restore the balance, the bone stability, the integrity of the joint. Send energy. Do not use the electrical energy from your mother. This is not what “the good Lord” intended. But you may use NDP and the body’s natural electrical and magnetic energy. Restore with what is natural. Be patient. This time at home (off the dance floor) is valuable to you and it is showing you many ways to enjoy your own being independent of the social circles that generally draw you away from more productive ventures. Not that these are not valuable – they are indeed, and your friends are a precious gift that you have given yourself. But you must balance, and always, always remember that you have a purpose and your purpose, your chosen purpose, is to help mankind learn the lessons and the principles of spiritual philosophy that your beloved teacher has given her life to teaching you and your fellow students. So – it is for you, according to your choice and your life plan, to honor the teachings and to share them with others as they have been shared with you, in the purity of the Pythagorean tradition of experience, of commitment, of immersion, of loving friendship, of camaraderie to support the blessings of personal growth and change. Thy will be done.

Are there any other physical ailments that you would like to discuss?

Not ailments per se but I would like to know more about my acupuncture treatments and my work with Ta-Ya Lee. She has been such an inspiration to me to change and to respect the natural communication that my body has with me, and to move forward with my healing.

Ta-Ya Lee is a spirit energy of great gifts. She does indeed have much to share with you, and as you have noticed, she is very committed to sharing her gifts in the true spirit of healing, not for the money or the glory but for the compassionate assistance she may be able to provide to help one soul, and another soul, and whoever may wish to engage her services, to achieve balance and good health. This is a special gift for anyone to share, and for Ta-Ya, it is her life work. She eagerly shares.

Now, acupuncture as you know is a very old science of understanding the physical body through the electrical impulses that it yields to the awareness of a sensitive being. Ta-Ya is a very sensitive being and she can help immensely. But acupuncture itself does have limitations in that the electrical pulses that are generated by the piercing of the needles is not enduring. It is not necessarily sustained. So it is like the sprint runner who can go very fast but not for long. Your goal is to go the distance in an enduring way.

But the value for now is that you are helping the body to remember its rightful rhythm and pace and electrical balance. So – it is fine to keep going to Ta-Ya. Eventually you may exhaust your interest in this approach, and you will find, through experience, that NDP is truly the most successful and enduring and powerful healing approach that exists. It has the power to heal beyond what you currently accept. You would do well to spend more time investigating the healing powers of Kathy Oddenino’s neural depolarization. It is a gift of unparalleled value. See it for what it is and you will be accepting a gift of immense proportion, not only for your own healing but for the healing work that you may wish to share with others. It is a lasting healing approach and it is time for the world to understand that as a physical body, a mind, a soul and a spirit consciousness, we are all that is, and we groove with the energies that swirl around us and through us and to the degree that we can balance these energies, we will know health and vitality, happiness, joy, peace, and have understanding that nothing, NOTHING is not within our reach, including full and unequivocal healing, and love in all its splendor.

So, may these words bring you encouragement and happiness in knowing that YOU ARE A CREATOR. So – create! Have fun in your creations. You body is your first and primary creation. Your death will be your last creation in this life. All that lies inbetween is the wonderful joy of living. So live joyfully, heal joyfully, and share your joy with others for that, too, is a healing. And to heal is to BE the creator that we are. Go forward and CREATE!
