I have read and re-read Chinese medicine resources as much of it aligns with symbolism and patterns I've witnessed myself. Below is an excerpt from one resource by Lawrence Michail of Compassionate Dragon Healing that speaks to how the body displays its symbolic patterns of energy that are stuck or disharmonious as disease (often past harmonious patterns can become disharmonious if clinged to as life is dynamic).
What was even more intriguing was he pointed out that healing at an "individual" level may impact the collective, the global. That's essentially what ho'oponopono does--it clears past energetic patterns to allow life to flow without any obstructions or blocks. I just utilize symbolism (often to decipher the symbols, I use a combination of Louise Hay, Lise Bourbeau, very good dream symbol dictionaries such as passed down by the Toltecs as well as my own innate ability to perceive symbols) to help me focus on a particular pattern we're dealing with. That is longer story (and possible a future post), yet if you begin to consider and experiment with the physical (matter) to be constellations and representations of holographic energy it may make more 'sense.'
You can also do this for yourself. You are your own healer if you are willing to heed all the messages sincerely and with integrity. It wasn't until I lost my health insurance over ten years ago that I was guided to learn these self-healing techniques that ultimately depend on no external healer and simply point you time and again back to the divine wholeness that you are.
"Realistically, when our body refuses to do what we want it to, metaphysically, it is not actually broken. It is doing its job. One of its functions is to carry messages from the higher energetic planes to us. [For me, I don't think of it as higher or lower--just more subtle dimension of ourselves.] It is then up to us to interpret these messages and take action.
Western medicine takes the position that we feel pain because we can. Western approaches to pain, as the main symptom of any disease, are pretty much limited to drugs and surgery. Treatment consists of numbing or diverting pain receptors in the body or cutting off the offending organ. While this approach does have its place in acute situations, it is at best a temporary and often harmful way to approach pain or other disharmonies we feel in our bodies.
Most often, western medicine has little to offer most of us and incredibly makes us wait until our symptoms become unbearably acute before it can even acknowledge a disharmony. The trend today, as much for economic reasons, as for reasons of spirit and human development is to encourage people to take responsibility for their own lives. This is the approach of ancient wisdom.
We use our bodies to communicate with our selves and with others. We use our bodies to work out emotional, mental and spiritual questions. While we do tend to judge a diseased body negatively, there really is no right or wrong about it. The ancient Taoists theorized that good and bad, right and wrong, yin and yang, were just different points of view that we all adopt at one time or another. Because the earth plane is dualistic in nature we all view, at one time or another from both the Yin and the Yang ends of the telescope. There does not seem to be a point in judging one good and one bad or judging one good and one evil. These just are the symptoms of being human.
Still, there is such a thing as being well, and there is such a thing as being sick. When we get sick we tend to want to do something about it.
Enter the healer.
A healer is trained in the observation and interpretation of signs and symptoms, and in methods for dealing with them. Wholistic Healing of the individual occurs at different energetic levels. These are the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
For those on the path, there are a great many more levels and sublevels identified in various cultural, religious and philosophical traditions. But for our purposes we can look at the individual in these four broad realms to at least begin the process of healing. Healing by the way occurs not only at the individual level, but also at the family, community and global level. When one heals 'mindfully', as the Buddhists say, these other aspects of individual healing may become apparent. " - from Compassionate Dragon Healing
Inspiration came from what is perhaps Kors favourite decade, the seventies, with hints of the eighties thrown in. Agyness Deyn in head to toe white had an air of Bianca Jagger about her, whilst the Oliver Newton-John Xanadu sountrack added the eighties touch along with A-line shapes and splashes of ruffles.
