As you may recall, we recently published two newsletters on physical health and well- being. In response to those articles, one of our good friends sent us following comments:

“. . . if you’re open to a follow-up question with body theme, maybe (you could ask) Chief Joseph HOW one gets out of one’s body’s way. I mean, I know that all (Joseph) talks about is absolutely and totally true. But it’s kind of hard to ignore something that is ALWAYS with you (and being aware of) its moment-by-moment state.”

Chief Joseph

How do you get out of your body’s way? An excellent question!

As our reader wrote in her letter, it’s sometimes a daunting task to stay neutral when you are always in middle of situation you’re wanting to stay neutral about.

Your body is always with you. Wherever you go, there it is. You cannot escape it! It’s a fact of your life.

The only way to escape your body, obviously, is to die. But we don’t want you to die until you’re good and ready to go.

So, friends, we seem to have a dilemma, don’t we?

But, really, this is not a dilemma at all.

Let’s take a look at one ordinary day in your lives. In course of that day, you encounter all sorts of situations and information you may not resonate with. Perhaps even situations and information you start feeling depressed about. Especially if you linger too long in negative feelings.

For example, your mainstream news media. We are not advising you to avoid your news media entirely. But it would behoove you to limit your diet, if you will, of all “bad” news your media love to report.

So, yes, we would urge you to nurture a genuine concern and compassion for your sisters and brothers throughout planet who are suffering. And we would urge you to assist them in whatever ways you feel drawn to do.

But, in that process of helping others, it’s absolutely essential for you to stay peaceful and centered in your alignment with your higher self. To even feel a sense of deep joy in midst of suffering others around you are experiencing.

Here’s her letter. Following that is Joseph’s response.

Hi John,

Hope you are staying warm. Thank you for (last newsletter) article! I can totally relate to it.

I was talking with a friend this morning about my experience in healing my physical challenge. I then read your article which confirmed everything I had talked to her about on phone this morning. How uncanny!

I have been experiencing heart problems for a while now. Of course, I have been focusing on (them) and feeling anxious about it. Last Friday . . . a friend popped by. She . . . invited me to watch a flamenco show at a restaurant. I gladly took her up on this spontaneous invitation.

(At) a table beside us (there were) 12 people . . . laughing, dancing and having a great time! Their vibration was very uplifting and helped to create a shift for (me). My heart pain and headache went away!

I soon realized that I needed more joy in my life. I had an imbalance which created dis-ease in my body.

The next day some friends came by unexpectedly. (The boyfriend of one of) my girlfriends had a sore foot . . . and I . . . told him I could do some reiki on his foot.

All of us got lost in conversation and laughter. I (hadn't done) reiki on his foot yet when they were ready to leave . . . (but) he said his foot was fine and he asked me (what I did).

I realized then that when I experienced a shift in my vibration night before at restaurant, my vibration of joy elevated his vibration to heal.

I found myself learning to feel worthy of having more joy in my life. (Also), when feeling more joy in my life, I (find) my financial prosperity increasing.

As a lightworker, I don't have to go out there healing others. I am finding that it is giving to ourselves first which then creates a ripple effect for others. I read in a book that most people who are in healing field are doing it because they are avoiding their own pain and are not allowing their own emotional needs to be met. That struck a chord with me -- learning to meet my emotional needs. I knew what I didn't want but never really allowed myself to think of what I do want and allowing that to manifest in my life.
