How Spirit Moves

We have talked of stress, and how excessive amounts greatly determine our levels of health. As well, we have talked of ways to help deal with excessive amounts, and how to increase our ability to handle more, so that it doesn’t show up in our bodies. From a preventative or wellness standpoint, we have covered a lot of ground. I would like to talk more about the essence of this healing power and understanding it more, instead of how to reduce it or manage it.

Our essence is spirit, or you may know it as life force, or universal intelligence, or you may even call it “God”. It is what we were before we manifested into matter, it is to what we return to when we die. We are energy, and the very first law of energy is that it is constant- you can’t get rid of it; you can only change its form. Our bodies are merely physical anchors for spirit, a matter to change an unseen energy into a “seen” energy.

Within spirit is a limitless power or intelligence that changes energy into form; an incredibly intricate, enmeshed, and resourceful machine called “the body”. We are born with this innate intelligence, the same incomprehensible power that joins two random cells, and from that, billions of cell divisions later, creates our wonderful bodies. It doesn’t leave us when we are born, it stays with us and is the force that helps us grow and age, and most importantly, to heal. An equally important law of energy is the one of conservation; energy seeks the least expenditure for change. That means that a system in balance seeks to stay in balance, conversely, when it is out of balance, it seeks to return to balance. Being healthy is a balanced state, and this is why our bodies are capable of healing itself. When we eat a bad meal, our digestive system recognizes this and throws the food out. When we cut ourselves, the wound heals. When we strain a muscle, the injury repairs itself. When our heart breaks from some grief, it heals over time, and we go on. It is a power that is greater than ourselves, and has the capacity to restore us anytime to our balanced, healthy selves.

We all posses this power, it is on constantly. It wants to express itself, but it is we who suppress the power through many of the choices we make or the attitudes we take. I believe that the ultimate “purpose” for those of us here on this planet is to allow the fullest expression of this power. We are here to live, to thrive, and grow as much as this power will allow. Tapping into that power is not a guarantee of living forever, but it is of living life at its fullest. If there is indeed this power that lives within us, guides us to being balanced and healthy, and wants to “shine” as brightly as possible, why do we all struggle so much with health and wellness? I believe that it is partly because we fail to see the greatness that is within us, and that is all of us. The first step to allowing this power to guide you is to open your heart and mind, and not only see the greatness, but believe that it is working for you.

“Have you more faith in a teaspoon of medicine, than in the power that created our bodies?”
