Occasionally we get stuck in an old belief, some idea we just picked up along the way juxtaposed to our present situation.  We don’t see it but underneath we start feeling pressure a sense of inner tension that just keeps building.  It starts to affect our sleep, our eating patterns, our communication and every other area of our lives.  If the inner conflict remains unresolved long enough it will always show up in our physical experiences; either mental, emotional or physical health.  But still we will not be able to identify the root problem precisely because it is a ‘root’ problem.  It is a foundational concept that we have built our whole lives and values around.  And the only solution is a complete collapse.

This is incredibly wonderful news; granted in a strange and often unpleasant feeling way.  It is wonderful because the discomfort is absolutely necessary for us to recognize we have a core value misalignment.  The healing can not begin until the dis-ease manifests.  The greatest beauty here is in the realization that ultimately the healing is not in fixing the problem, certainly not physically, through external intrusive medicine, although that can have its short term benefits.  The only real answer is surrender; release to a realignment of beliefs and values.  As the great teachings declare; “Be ye transformed through the renewal of your mind.”  

So as soon as we recognize the ‘problem’ even before we see our health practitioners, we can start the healing process.

I choose to be grateful for the revelation of misalignment revealed through this discomfort and I choose to surrender, I let go of my way and open to a new experience.

Then we can carry on with whatever action we trust will help in the ‘healing’ thereby being proactive in our process.

And again, we can not force this to happen. Ultimately all any of us can do is surrender to a higher order.  For this we only need a faith that there is a power greater than we are available to us, and that we can use it by surrendering to it.

As this season of celebration comes in don’t forget to surrender to a higher power as the various discomforts arise.  This season really can be a season of healing; and not just for computers and appliances.
