The Psychology of Illness
By Shelli Stanger Nelson, Founder and President
Just
as quantum physics has raised the bar from Newtonian physics on the
topic of what we know and understand to be true about the physical
world, epigenetics gives the hip-nudge to DNA theorists regarding the
rules about genetic predisposition. Epi, meaning above or over, and
genetics-meaning genes, gives rise to the newest research regarding how
the genes of our DNA actually become activated; and it’s not
what you might think.
In his
book, “The Biology of Belief”, Dr. Bruce Lipton, a
research scientist in the USA gives fascinating insights on how our
belief systems actually trump the twisted strands of DNA in determining
what manifests in our bodies. Things like physical illnesses,
for example, appear to be less related to our specific gene blueprint
than to the messages that same blueprint receives.
Epigenetic
research provides us with the truth that what we think, believe and
cling to in our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies plays a
substantial role in how, or if, illnesses arise. And even more
importantly, whether or not we recover from these afflictions.
Dr.
Lipton’s work is demonstrating that the role psychology plays
in illness, disease or even in physical injuries cannot be
overstressed.
This is precisely why the Rukha Method(sm) of energy healing marries energy science with psychology.
Science
studying the Human bioenergy field (HBF)-also called the aura- reveals
to us that anything occurring in the physical body occurs first in the
HBF. The HBF is all about one’s personality, that is, personal
emotions, personal beliefs, personal thoughts as well as how we view
life.
In other words, the HBF is all about one’s personal psychology.
Quantum
physics long ago taught us that we are nothing more than vibration.
This vibration occurs first in the HBF at a high rate of speed.
Eventually the vibration of the atoms slow to a speed where we become
solid flesh and blood. Since the HBF is the warehouse for our
psychology, it naturally follows that the physical body is actually a
solid expression of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
Dr.
Lipton shares with his readers the new science of epigenetics, but I
sense a gap in how the beliefs change the signals that speak to the DNA.
Could it be that the mechanism of action lies within the energy held
within the psychology that comprises the HBF?
Epigenetics
is revealing more and more about the critical role of our emotions,
thoughts and beliefs as they relate to our health. The science is
exciting for energy healing professionals who incorporate psychology in
their treatments. It also reinforces a quote I heard some time ago,
whose author I’ve forgotten; “The wonderful thing
about science is that it gives tangible proof to what we already know is
true. “
The
difficulty in working with the psychology of an illness is revealing
the unhealthy beliefs and emotions that are being quietly tapped,
tapped, tapped out in our sub-conscious from the HBF. Once we
are able to articulate them, well then how do we move from that point of
reference to another? I refer to this shift as the quantum step over a
thin, white line. Pulling the lever to cross that line requires a lot of
insight, courage to acknowledge our own painful truths and then
proficient energy science techniques to support the HBF in holding a new
way of thinking and relating to the universe. Most critically, a new
way of relating to the self.
