True Healing and the Healing Crisis
The Cell
Within the human body, we have organs made up of tissue, and that tissue is made up of trillions of cells. Each tiny cell is being polluted when we think negatively, act negatively and hold onto our toxic emotions. It is also the cell that is absorbing toxicity into its membrane from our processed food and toxic environments. The cell holds memory. That is why true healing must take place on the deepest level, at the level of the cell.
Cell Emptying
Emptying the cells of toxic particles that congest and impair the cell, and therefore organ functioning is paramount in the process of healing chronic illness. Two of the most powerful ways of doing this is by taking herbs that cleanse the cell and by taking regular short cold showers.
Toxins in the physical form aren’t the only form of toxicity in the human being. Mental toxicity jams up the smooth flow of energy throughout the cells in your body, also causing illness. Herbal medicines can be used in conjunction with emotional healing techniques to remove negative patterns of being and kick out the old programming.
When you were born, you were completely innocent and empty. You relied on natural feelings – if you were hungry, you cried etc. As you grew, your family, friends and neighbours etc slowly infiltrated you with knowledge and belief systems some of which may have been based on fear and judgment. Now the mind, which was given to you by society, over-rides your feeling, or inner voice. We will then perhaps stay in a toxic job because we are afraid we won’t be able to pay the mortgage if we leave etc. This trap comes from societal mind. Perhaps cleansing our cells of our childhood influences may not be such a bad idea!
Re-experiencing the suppressed emotional pain is for most a painful experience and may involve a healing crisis.
The Healing Crisis
Whilst on an herbal detox program you may experience what is known as a healing crisis. This occurs when you are truly healing. The kidneys, bladder and spine hold and process fear. The liver/gall bladder holds and processes anger and is involved in decision-making. The lungs hold and process grief and sadness. If the cells in these organs are letting go of their memory by way of herbal medicine, it is possible to re-experience some of what we have suppressed, as it is released from our being.
You know you are experiencing a healing crisis, when you feel like giving up, feel you are all alone in the world and nobody cares, feel acutely desperate, extremely angry and/or experience a huge anxiety attack. A healing crisis will always pass, usually as fast as it has come on. Like ‘Shrek’ says, we have layers like onions, some layers are easy to peel off and some take a bit more work. The best thing to do is to sit with your emotions and re-experience them. Observe the physical and emotional pain, stay with it rather than trying to escape it with the mind and it’s multitude of distractions. That way the old emotion will pass through your being and you will truly heal. Many orthodox medications suppress emotion. Herbal detox programs and cold showers can help a person reduce and often stop medication entirely. This can be done slowly and at a person’s own pace.
I would say that 98% of cancer patients I have ever met have been angry. As anger becomes blocked in the liver, part of a cancer patient’s journey back to wellness would be liver detox. As the liver is being cleansed with a pure diet and herbal medicines, the old anger has no choice, but to be released. For what is bellow is also above. You cannot cleanse one without the other.
Cold Showers
Cold water has the ability to hold onto memory just as a DVD holds onto sound. Cold water…that is cold showers, baths, the ocean, streams, lakes etc will draw out the old memory in your cells. Cold is Yin and Water is Yin and the double Yin affect is what has the drawing action. Try taking three, short cold showers per day for two weeks and then stopping. You will notice the difference. Regular cold showers, enhance your white cell activity, balance your hormones, reduce stress and anxiety and leave you feeling fresh, energised and positive.
