Awaken the Body through Healing (August 13, 2007)
(Path toward Enlightenment - Step 1)
Spiritual journey often begins when you are encountered by illness. In other words, the process toward healing of illness is an opportunity to begin spiritual journey. Such illness is not limited to acute physical illness, but often chronic conditions, including psychological conditions, such as depression and anxiety.
Physical illness is progressed by a lack of communication between the Body and the Soul. If the Body is awakened, the Body has the ability to communicate with your Soul, giving multiple warning signs before severe illness is developed. Some people were born with the ability to feel or be sensitive to the sensation of the Body, but the majority is not. With your dedication and willingness, however, you can build the sensitivity and the ability to communicate with your own Body.
The most severe obstacles to developing the ability to communicate are the misuse of the Body and physical abuse, especially using recreational drugs, excessive alcohol intake and smoking. These substances will numb your Body, reduce the bodily sensitivity and create illusionary ecstasy compared to true Spiritual Awakening through Kundalini Energy rising. Using these substances on a regular basis is considered not only an obstacle but harm to awakening the Body.
Awakening the Body is the first step toward the process of Enlightenment. It is not possible to achieve the goal without getting in touch with your Body and appreciating its sacredness. The Body is the temple of your Soul.
The human body is made up of roughly 100 trillion cells, each of which has the Soul. Not only each cell, but each organ has the Soul. Awakening the Body means nothing but activating and connecting to the Soul of each cell, tissue, organ and system and appreciate how much your are supported by their services. Your existence is due to the hard work of 100 trillion cells day and night!
I have seen so many spiritual seekers whose Body are not awakened. Spiritual journey is completed only when the Body, Mind and Soul are all awakened and integrated for the higher purpose.
The first step toward awakening the Body is to squarely face the physical illness if any and take steps toward it as naturally as possible by listening to the voice of the Body. In this process, the purification of the Body should be accompanied. (Please read “Purifying the Body (June 25, 2007)".
Please appreciate the bodily gift that you have received from the Universe. The awakening the Body starts from this recognition and appreciation.
