What Has Your Disease Come To Tell You?
Winter Altar – Arrangement & Photograph by Toni Roberts
My experience with breast cancer some thirteen years ago taught me one thing…without a doubt…
Disease is a messenger from the Soul!
Today as I sat before my altar in contemplative meditation…wondering about the cause of this sudden painful stiffness in my right thumb…and recent erratic blood pressure readings…the following Understandings drifted across the landscape of my mind:
All dis-ease is a physical manifestation of internal…spiritual and/or psychological conditions…
Arthritis mirrors rigidity…an unwillingness to yield…to bend…to surrender to the realities of your physical existence…resistance and stubbornness…instead of non-resistance and surrender…
High or erratic blood pressure is a manifestation of your reacting emotionally to that which you find unpleasant and unacceptable…instead of rationally accepting that which you cannot change within the limitations of your human power…it is a result of emotionalism…of your repeating dysfunctional emotional patterns modeled by your immature parents…
***
We must learn to accept that which we cannot humanly change…
***
Seek within for solutions…ask and you shall be answered…directed by Wisdom higher than the rational mind…
***
Non–resistance…surrender…acceptance…are the keys…
***
And so, my Soul imparted this bit of Wisdom which I shall surely follow…for my Soul has never led me astray along this lifelong Journey to Wholeness…
***
Whatever your stumbling blocks in life may be…I encourage you to seek within for solutions…for understanding…for guidance and wisdom…
And then wait in quiet acceptance for the responding Message from your Soul…
For your Soul will never lead you astray…
Ase…
