Your Body is a Mirror of Your LifeWritten by Martin Brofman, Ph.D.
Continued from page 1 The Human Directional System We can say that we have an inner guidance system, a connection to our Higher Self, or our Inner Being, or whatever name we choose to give this Higher Intelligence. This inner guidance system functions through what we call our intuition, or our instinct. It speaks a very simple language. Either it feels good, or it doesn't. All rest is just politics. We are told we should move with what feels good, and do not do what doesn't feel good to us. We are told to trust this inner voice. When we don't follow this inner voice we feel tension. We feel not-good. Then, voice must get louder. The next level of communication is through emotions. As we move more and more in direction that feels not-good, we experience more and more emotions that feel not-good, and at some point we can say, "I should have listened to myself when I thought to move in other direction." That meant that we heard inner voice. Otherwise, we could not have said, "I should have listened." If we make decision we know is right one for us, and therefore change direction, there is a release of tension, we feel better, and we know we are again on right track. If we continue to move in direction that feels not-good, communication reaches physical level. We create a symptom, and symptom speaks a language which reflects idea that we each create our own reality. When we describe symptom from that point of view, we can understand message. If we change our way of being, we have received message, and symptom has no further reason for being. It is able to be released, according to whatever we allow ourselves to believe is possible. If we created symptom with a decision, we are also able to release it with a decision. As an hypothesis, we can imagine that someone makes a decision that it is not a good idea to express what they want. From that moment, whenever there is something they want, they keep themselves from expressing it, and therefore from having what they want. That feels not-good. The tension grows. They feel more and more not-good as they keep themselves from expressing what they want and not having it. Eventually, something happens to create a symptom on physical level, and their right arm is affected. It could have happened through falling from a ladder, or in an automobile accident, or by pinching a nerve in neck, or by "sleeping in a draft." Something had to happen on physical level to create symptom, in order to give person message on physical level about what they had been doing to themselves. We do to ourselves literally what we have been doing to ourselves figuratively. The effect is that person cannot move their arm. They are keeping themselves from reaching for something, and since it is right arm, on "will" side of body, they are keeping themselves from reaching for or going for what they want. They have been giving themselves reasons to not believe that they could have what they want. When they begin to do something different in their consciousness, they notice that something different begins to happen with their arm, and symptom is able to be released.

Continued from page 1 It is obvious, for example, that we could not tell Russia that Chernobyl was their problem. We have seen that events in one country can have effects on other countries, if not worldwide. We have become obliged to think in more global terms, and in fact, we have begun to do so. AIDS, like any other out-of-balance condition, can be healed. What it takes is love. One young man in San Francisco who had developed AIDS was given a radical therapy, which reversed effects of disease and resulted in his recovery. He had to walk through streets carrying balloons, being obviously different, and when passers-by would look at him, he had to give them a card saying, "I love you." At first, he felt very conspicuous. The second day, it was easier. By third day, he really did feel love for these other Beings that were seeing him as different - and he also felt loved, even with his differences. He recovered. Louise Hay, an extraordinary American healer, has had much success with reversing AIDS by focusing on aspects of forgiveness and self-acceptance, and using therapies emphasizing these qualities. Her successes show effectiveness of this approach of heart. She has had more success with AIDS patients than any other individual I have heard of. In experience of this writer regarding healings of AIDS patients, consistent factor was imbalance of heart chakra, and poor quality of relationships in their lives. One young man who was able to open to receive love during a healing was later told by his doctor that he didn't have AIDS after all, but just a systemic fungus infection, Candida. Another who recovered was told by his doctor that original diagnosis must have been a mistake. People can recover from AIDS when they learn to recognize love, and trust it, and place themselves in relationships that are nurturing, rather than punishing. That is, they learn to stop punishing themselves, and so allow themselves to be nurtured. They learn to accept themselves, and even to accept others who do not accept them. With acceptance, with love, heart chakra can again function normally, restoring strength to thymus gland, and therefore to immune system. The individual can then decide that there is something to live for, after all, since love is again in their lives. The flow of energy is restored, resulting in a return to experience of wholeness that we know as health. We are Beings of energy. When we block or interrupt flow of this energy, result is illness or injury. Sometimes this happens as a call for love. We each have ability to restore flow of energy, and provide an abundance of love where there was a perception of lack. When we do this, a healing happens. It is imperative, now, that we keep our hearts open, and replace judgments with acceptance. It is vital that we learn to love even more, and to allow ourselves to be loved. We must relate in our relationships, and use communication to clear misunderstandings and disagreements. When we can keep ourselves in a loving space, we will have a positive effect on our environment, a healing effect. With our hearts open to love all around us, and fully accepting ourselves, we will not be creating conditions in which AIDS develops. The answer is acceptance. The answer is love.
