I am reading David Hawkins book, "Healing and Recovery" and in it he describes the way forward from illness to healing:
"The actual healing of the physicality of the illness is letting go of resisting the inner physical experience of it without any mental label. At the same time, in fact, we begin to cancel the mental label and replace it with the truth. We cancel by affirming, "I no longer believe in that. I am an infinite being, and I am not subject to that. I am only subject to what I hold in mind."
"What does it mean to be "an infinite being and not subject to that"? It means we are only limited by our belief systems, and if we let them go, what takes their place? If form is removed from consciousness, what is left? The formless is left, and the inner experience of it is infinite, without boundaries, without beginning or end. The formless is the essential nature of consciousness itself and is unlimited. If we place a limitation or interject form, then we subject our self to what we are holding in mind. To replace it, we consciously cancel it by saying, "I cancel any belief in duodenal ulcers," or asthma, or whatever the illness might be. We then say, "I'm subject only to that which I hold in mind. I am an infinite being, and in truth, I am not subject to that. And that is a fact."
"When we muscle test that statement, we find it to be true. If we test a person and they say, "Cancel. I am not subject to that. I am an infinite being and subject only to what I hold in mind," we will see that they instantly go strong, indicating that this is a statement of the truth. Consequently, when we replace that which is false with that which is true, healing occurs."
..."The minute we tell the truth, the energy field at the level of Courage (meaning to tell the truth that we are an infinite being and subject only to what is held in mind) instantly puts us above the line at level 200."
"The willingness to accept this truth lifts us up to a position to choose appreciation of the body instead of the 'make wrong' of the body; the loveliness of our life instead of the 'make wrong' of our life; the loveliness of the being that we are instead of the criticism of it."
..."If we are willing to let go of our illness, then we have to be willing to let go of the attitude that brought about the illness because disease is an expression of ones attitude and habitual way of looking at things."
"The specifics of healing a particular illness consist of (1) letting go of resisting of the sensory experience of it, (2) no longer putting names or labels on it, and (3) using no words at all. Welcome experiencing what you are experiencing in a very radical way and at the same time (4) cancel the thought form and belief system, and (5) choose the energy field of Love, which heals."
"If we look at the basic physics of the energies involved, we can see why fear at calibration level 100 is overpowered by Love at 500 because these are exponential powers. Therefore, the power of Love is represented by 10 squared 500, whereas Fear is only 10 squared 100, a very big difference."
"To put oneself in an energy field of 540 is to automatically heal oneself. A loving thought then heals, and a negative thought creates illness. Choosing to become a loving person results in the release of endorphins by the brain, which has profound effect on the body's health and happiness. Happiness arises from the willingness to let go of that which is negative and to allow love to replace it in consciousness because essential nature of consciousness, unless it has been impaired, is lovingness. We see this in the young child who is only innocence, and lovingness is the expression of the essence of human nature. It is as if the child has not yet been programed to go into fear, doubt, or limitation."
Wow.
I intentionally did this while practicing Bikram yoga last night in class. My whole body responded immediately to the effects of any limitation or belief I found in "mind". My body was more than eager to rid itself of these "programs" and limitations of beliefs.
At one point during the class my heart was pounding so hard I could feel the "terror" releasing itself. I now find any discomfort or limitation to be a "good thing" during yoga. In the past I would consider it a "weakness" needed to be overcome.
How exciting and liberating.
