Energy Healing, Self Observation & Sensation

"We're beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel." ~ Dr. Oz 

Although I am not a big fan of Dr. Oz's TV show, he does, occasionally have some interesting medical information to share. In this case it is what many in the "new age", alternative medical movement have been espousing ever since I can remember - beginning perhaps with Edgar Cayce and early Christian Science groups. The statement he makes above is true. It can be verified by self observation and sensation. If you are interested in inner being, higher consciousness and the links between mind-body and health, make efforts to observe the connection. What you see will help you to be healthier human Beings.

Observing a Lie

Evolution Series #13
©2008 ~ L. Lopez

Well, here's an interesting start to the work year. 

After our conversation today, I sent the following to a young woman I coach by telephone every morning. I sent it because she expressed an interest in the TV show Lie to Me. And, now that the touchy feely, ooey-gooey "loving" and "caring" feelings of the "holidays" are behind us, I am sharing part of that email with you. I bring it to the fore now because lies and lying have been a non stop theme since before Thanksgiving with all of those I mentor as well as with the world in general as evidenced by upcoming elections campaigns and everyone else back to "business as usual". In order to learn how to BE present and objective lies and lying - in oneself and in others -  must be understood on the objective level. This is essential Knowledge.

"Dear ...:

... BTW - A Wise Woman once said:

"If you look for lies you will find them, if you look for truths you will find them. What do you really want to spend your time [focusing on]?"

You already know, on the instinctive/psychic level, when someone is being honest with you and when they're not. You just don't know yet how to stop your own *habitual automatic reactions* when you sense you are being lied to. 


[This is where you get into trouble. You are quickly taken by the emotions which are much faster than the other centers.]

Try this - When you sense a lie, instead of reacting emotionally, stop for a moment and go to your true center like you do when you first used the ... [centered yourself with sensation]. Stand in it. Become still inside and just [clinically] observe what it is you are hearing and seeing when you look at the one who is "lying" because there's so much more to a lie than the lie itself. There is so much more to see [know]. 


[You will see it is not really about you and you will know better what to do and say in 'response' to the lie and the liar.]

It is very interesting to view a lie from this more objective perspective. We can't do this when we are taken into illusion and imagination by our [automatic and habitual] subjectivity because we are not present in those moments. We have succumbed to *the stories and associations* in our heads and have reverted to the past, dream, imagination and illusion fueled by the stories. 

When you take yourself out of the equation by not reacting and by becoming still inside, [by becoming more present]  you are free to gather more objective  information about what is happening in those moments."

Spring Giddiness

"Today, like every other day, we wake up empty

and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

---

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don't go back to sleep.

---

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.
Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it.

---

Daylight, full of small dancing particles
and the one great turning, our souls
are dancing with you, without feet, they dance.
Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?

---

All day and night, music,
a quiet, bright
reedsong. If it
fades, we fade."

  from The Essential Rumi, translations by Coleman Barks with John Moyne, 1995

Where Fear Cannot Live

ASCENDING, LL 2002

"Fear tingles in me.
Gripping  at my innards like a tap dancing fighter
It wrestles with my emotions and head brain
In the arena of my body.

Creating an anxiety
that spreads throughout my cells like a rash,
Causing an 'unpleasant itching' in my heart
And exaggerated tension in the tummy.

With attention awakened, I stop everything and am very still.
Hmm...
Here's a clue.

A sensation at the back of the head is whispering stories.
I can hear them clearly now,
Whereas before there was only a vague "not feeling so good".

Know the difference in sensations and where they fall in you.
Learn the body's mode of communication well.
The sensations of knowing what is real and and what is true do not live there,
At that spot in the head.
That is the ego's place
Recognizable by it's dull sensation.

Listening sensing carefully, I realize it is that snake, ego
Rummaging around in old files in the 'formatory apparatus',
Reading off the past presenting it as the now
To do it's fear mongering.
The liar is trying to fool me.
That is what is causing  this"fear".
It is trying to fool my sweet heart into total upset.
It is trying to trap my being in it's illusion with it's snaky whispering.

Shh....
More vigilant now, more present...
Shh... quieter still,
I shine the light of Attention on them,
That secretary of the filing cabinets and the sneaky snake.
In the shadows I see
Ego desperately wanting to regain lost ground.
It wants its "throne" back, it wants to "live".

It wants to be Laura.

In the illumination of this revelation
The cellular rash clears instantly.
Tension, that 'itching'  in the heart area
and tummy go away.

Ahhh, I am myself again.
O' Happy day.

Breathing freely.

Peace and Blessings
Peace and Blessings,

Thank you GOD, The All.

Peace and Blessings
Peace and Blessing to You
All eternity long. "

The "Head Brain"

This whirring machine
Wasting precious time and energy
In senseless pursuits of "truths"
In a place where no real truth exists
Beware the false idols that live in the pigeon holes of its illusions
And its bins filled with yellowed pages blurred by time
Stop trying to fit square pegs into round holes
Beware lusting after paste gems that appear to be diamonds and rubies in that dung heap
You are hallucinating
Come out, come back to yourself
Drop the anchor, settle in the body
Bath yourself clean with your own sensations of Living
Give up those ideas and dreams that you are.
Acknowledge the weather and your breath
Stand inside yourself
Open your heart to your own being
Inhabit your body.
