There is no incurable disease, there’s only
an incurable person – One of my Guru’s said to me.
After some contemplation I concluded “a person is definitely not the disease but
a person can become the disease”. Does
that still seem cryptic? I thought as much!
One of my spunky friends’ put it rather
simply “When you believe that there’s no cure for you, you can die of anything
you like”. Bingo!
Some of you (my regular readers) who have
read my previous blog “Faith and Treatment” might sense a contradiction. No Sirs! I don’t ask you to have faith, but I
askyou to keep an open mind. Presume neither magical recovery with alternative
systems nor the impossibility of getting better or responding to anything. When
you close your mind you ordain your body to be into a subtle resignation.
What is it that you want? Do you really
want to get better? If you are trying hard to fight illness, then continue to
do so. In Swami Vivekananda’s word s,
“Stop not till the goal is reached”. In
the process monitor what therapy works for you and the extent to which it is
useful. Do understand that your goal is
to get better and nothing other than that.
Some thought lines that detract you from
your goal of getting better:
No one cares for me.
They are responsible for my deteriorating
health condition and stressing me out.
Now that I am sick, you’ll have
to listen to me and pay attention to my needs.
Now that I am sick are you
happy? – REVENGE.
I hate myself, I can never
forgive myself.
I have wronged others, now I’ll
bear my punishment with resignation.
Things will never change.
What works for others does not
work for me.
We channelize our energies towards proving
that we are right. If you find yourself holding on to any of these belief
systems, then trust me you don’t want to do that if you really “real”ly want to get better.
Through our thoughts and actions we
constantly change our physical state of being. At cellular levels, the messages
get registered in our DNA unconsciously. When you mediate upon your goal, the
process becomes a conscious effort towards changing the being in you.
Meditation is known to enhance healing capacity and there are various
explanations for the same. I am still contemplating on my Guru Mantra “Meditate
to talk to your DNA”. How to mediate? Another blog, another time!
To Health and Wellness!!
