Working
with Chronic and Life Threatening Illness: Part IX
The seventh chakra, also known as the crown chakra is the avenue through which our soul enters the body and through which we exit the physical plane. It is through this chakra that we may draw in divine healing energy and with our mind send this energy to any area of the body that is in need of healing. As a culture, we have become dependent on our doctors and nurses to heal us and often do not realize that there is an unlimited amount of healing energy available to all of us to enhance our healers’ work. Slowly an awareness of our ability to participate in our own healing is growing. Many behavioral medicine departments teach patients such techniques as creative visualization. For example, a cancer patient is taught to visualize healthy cells in place of cancerous ones. However, by focusing divine healing energy to the cancerous cells, one can speed the process of healing and transformation.
There are many ancient healing practices that can aid in bringing the body in balance and well being. Practices such as yoga, Tai Chi and Chi Gong facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body so that negative energy does not get stuck in the body. These ancient practices work with the core energy channel in the center of the body through which divine healing energy can flow in through the crown chakra and expand throughout the body and energy field. Many of our chronic health problems stay frozen within the body as a result of energy from trauma or absorbed negative emotional states of others that are stuck within the energy field of the body. Many of these chronic conditions are difficult to both understand and treat within the allopathic paradigm and are a huge drain on the current health care system. The body is amazing in its ability to carry the energy of painful experience and hold what the conscious mind cannot. When we turn to ancient wisdom to facilitate the breakthroughs of modern western medicine, amazing things can happen.
