We are able to heal ourselves in many ways. Some are obvious and can be explained. Others appear to be mystical or magical. I prefer to say that there are some innate abilities that we can’t easily explain.
In my New York State practice a few local doctors sent patients with chronic illnesses such as Post-Lymes, or auto-immune diseases. While not everyone experiences a total cure my clients were all able to improve the quality of life through finding our own innate sources of healing.
It starts with the breath so that people can go into deep states if that’s what the body needs. The technique involves finding that infinite, unconditional love. When we do that we can safely explore deep states and deep healing.
I ask people to agree to four rules or contracts for work in deep states. We do this only when the person has found that loving and peaceful state that I talk about. The rules are:
- to go to the part of our selves that was built on unconditional love
- to see love as infinite, so that if we have had only one experience of love we have experienced all the love that ever was and ever will be
- to assign symbols or blurs to the idea of infinite love to stop our Everyday Mind from trying to understand infinity
- Number four is only for when I work with someone: that you are in control of the session at all times and can stop at any time
Only love can enter this state and only love can leave this state.
In this state we are incapable of unwarranted guilt and shame. We are capable of taking responsibility for things that we may have done that warrant guilt or shame – these are things that harmed others.
In my therapy practice instead of changing critical and undermining thoughts I help people find the state where they can’t exist.
But these are things that need to be experienced to be understood. I will be adding audio files to take you into these states or you can make an appointment with me or with another practitioner who is learning these techniques.
On Healing and Inner Space
We are not taught to respect and explore our Inside Space or Inner Space, that rich world inside of us (coming soon a blog on Inside Space.) Our teachers rarely talk about what goes on inside ourselves. We rarely use our inner world. We might enjoy a sexual fantasy or daydreaming about a vacation coming, see old friends. But we rarely just spend time with ourselves. We fill the silences because it feels awkward to be with others in silence.
Scientists and artists of all kinds can go into Inner Space to invent new things. An athlete can rehearse moves and consider situations that might come up on the playing field. But we can all use our Inner World to make our lives more full and to find our own healing powers. We need to tune into the body more often.
Pain is the one way our bodies can get our attention. But if we learn to listen and tune in to our deeper states, our inside space, we can find and fix problems long before our bodies need to yell at us in the form or pain.
We are capable of going into deep states where we can learn to listen to our bodies. The adrenals, the glands above the kidneys that secrete stress hormones, can be brought into conscious control. We may be able to tune into sensations that have been there all along but we just weren’t paying attention.
NSR has proven effective in lowering inflammation. Post-Lymes, Post-Covid and oxinflammation (sub-clinical brain inflammation newly discovered by science) all can be improved by lowering inflammation. Our attention to body parts often increase inflammation. Migraines, for example, tend to get worse with attention. By learning to lower temperature we can reduce inflammation.
I like to show people that we can actually have conversations with parts of our body. We can even have a discussion with several parts of the body to find better ways to work together.
We can also find healing resources that come in myriad forms: people can get oils, teas, pastes, herbs, fruits, poultices, scents and myriad other medicines in that inner space. What these healing things are I don’t know. If they are only symbols that make us believe we can heal, as long as they work it doesn’t matter if we don’t understand.
Again, I’m describing things that might only make sense if you experience them. For now I can still work with people individually and there are people learning NSR.
