Hi _____, (deleted material).....I am glad to notice that alternative healing methods are coming into their own, from dietary to energy adjustments. In earlier true claims of quackery, they threw out the ducks with the bathwater...good to see that not all ducks were bad guys. I've read somewhat on (and sometimes used) various alternative disciplines including reflexology, colonics, herbs, vitamins, minerals, acupuncture, Shiatzu, Chinese acupressure, polarity therapy, Therapeutic Touch, to name some of them.
Anyway, I see what you mean about urgency. You can use metaphysics if you like...and we can talk about that. More important, however, is to become more self-aware and more self-empowered by that awareness. I wouldn't call that a technique, but simply observation with somewhat of a cessation of technique. Go within daily and observe what is there, even if it seems nothing is there. For you are certainly there, and it is just as certain that paying more attention to yourself beyond the judgments and ideas "about" yourself will make you more self-aware, even if it does not seem so to the thinking mind. And such increased awareness cannot help but affect you and your life in terms of understanding, attitude and any other aspect of your life. It is conditioned into us to want to see evidence, to see proof, to have some sensory way of monitoring what we arbitrarily deem to be progress...and that is fine as far as it goes...however, this also enters upon the scene a perfect rationalization for doubt. To doubt beliefs and teachings is fine, but to doubt what is so about yourself at all levels and beyond levels is the destructive factor...self-doubt, poor self-image, misdirected attention, failure to know one's own intention, etc. So, as I said, you can use metaphysics (loose use of the term), but it is important to include increased attention within, for that brings foundation to all that you think and do. While metaphysical approaches can assist with some things, they are not necessary. Meditation upon self within is mandatory however. All people are in meditation 24-7 throughout their lives, and that meditation is sending images to be engraved upon the soul of spirit, which then multiplies it back to us as we have "requested." To address soul via metaphysics by sending "decided upon" programming to soul through various methods, can indeed provide temporary relief for things and, in some cases, is advisable to avoid unnecessary pain and worse. To address soul via willingness to become aware of whatever it shows you and of the renewed views the miracles provide through erasing error is particularly helpful, both in the short term and long term of it. In this way, spirit itself addresses the real issue of error at the root level for the custom-made best and shortest recovery from error. It is our "WILLINGNESS to" step out of the way intellectually that allows awareness of spirit to arise and do what it always does (as opposed to stopping mind chatter itself, etc.). Along the way, it becomes clear that this spirit is who we really are, and that its very substance is a living principle and law of life. We become clear that this spirit within is not limited to this body, nor even to our personal self as an entity...but instead, is a single light shining in all, bringing all dreams to happiness and taking them beyond happiness to peace and joy. It is very freeing to realize fully that this Holy Spirit of God within us is actually who and what we are, rather than the weak, faltering and dying image we cut our teeth on. At some point, the viewpoint that now seeks to know the will of the Holy Spirit will shift...and you will see that the Holy Spirit is who you are...and "your" intention will become more and more clear, healing all things as its light pushes error gently into silence. love always, Doug (altarlight...LightDancer) ------------------------ Yahoo!
