You cannot attempt to treat the body without healing the mind.
When studied closely, the human body seems to know a deep mysticism. Beneath our skin, almost six trillion cells work in complete harmony to preserve the integrity of the organism. and at any given point, each cell knows exactly what every other cell is doing.
Every cell has a mind that knows how to repair itself, because the inherent nature of life is to heal all things made by itself. And the cell is alive. Life throbs within its microscopic confines.
But the problem arises when you do not allow the cellular mind to function, when you do not give it the time it needs. You have our own busy schedules, your own agendas in life, and those agendas do not have any space for your body, because you are completely consumed by your mind. Your mind does not allow you to listen to the body and let it thrive.
All of you have experienced fever. You love popping a pill to bring it down. It seems like such a harmless thing to do, because even though you have fever, you also have work to do, money to make, an important engagement to attend. You cannot allow. the body to languish in its febrile state.
It is uncomfortable, too. So you pop the pill. Harmless as the action looks, it could possibly open you up to graver diseases.
Why?
Because fever is an immune response. It is a part of the body's natural defence mechanism. The body raises its temperature to kill the invading microorganism. It is equipped to do so and it is guided by a timeless intelligence that is more than a million years old.
So, when you take a fever-reducing medicine, you interfere with its natural protection process.
Now the body gets confused. The cellular mind goes off- axis.
The immune system suffers a shock. It is as though battle- ready soldiers, who were going all out to meet the enemy, suddenly find their arms tied.
Slowly, over time, your immune system figures out that you do not trust the intelligence of your body. You do not rely on it. You do not believe that it can fight disease, on its own. It begins to understand the futility of maintaining such a huge army. It begins to lose focus, and the understanding of what its function is, becomes flawed.
This is how the immune system starts disintegrating. The powerful army within you starts disbanding. And you become even more vulnerable to alien attack. The more susceptible to diseases you become, the more you hear that your immune system is weak.
But the point is that it is you who destroyed that army. It is you who made it weak, by not trusting it.
