The mind alone can continue to loom as the dreary cloud above,
that never goes away. In matters of health, we've become so good at
being the clueless victims. How do we know so little about the body, in
this age? How have we created a free geographic database like Google
Earth, eqipped with the jawdropping technology of streetview, and
continue to remain without an easy-access map of the anatomy of the
human body. It does, afterall, function much like a planet in all its
chaotic shift, flow, and energy exchange.
Mind is at the root of many diseases, with all of the emotional imprints that have been made throughout a persons life and how all of that is carried forward to the moment-to-moment lifestyle choices that we make. Even if the cause of the disease does not immediately reflect your lifestyle choices, the mind continues to be involved in either the perpetuating of suffering, or engagement in self-knowing and triumph over ill habit. It is inevitable that we must endure a plethora of sufferings throughout our lifetimes, however rich or poor. When we realize our fearful flight into the arms of a caregiver and how we abandon the trust in our own abilities to recover from sudden upsets in health, we must remember that it is essential to face ourselves and challenge ourselves to become reacquainted with what has ALWAYS rightfully belonged to us: The Human Body and Mind... (although hi-jacked by history)
With countless cells dying every second, and new ones beginning within the bones, muscles, and skin... How can we keep the body in a state of unchanging, perfect health? We cannot... But the effort to recover an OPTIMAL state of health and well-being is likely. Give this your careful attention. If you could find riches within the state of your being, would not the wealth be limitless?? Concentrate and resolve to watch and listen..
It can be hard enough to focus the mind on a project or goal that you find yourself dreaming of so passionately about, let alone fighting an invisible enemy or an obscure affliction which follows you from past habits and potentially unacknowledged traumas.
Seize the knowledge of yourself; the mastery of the chaotic branching of your mind... YOUR THOUGHTS.
Spirit will follow. It is then that you will experience a growing, surging upliftment ("shen").
A great purpose of Qigong training is to acknowledge that you must continue to more or less exist as an embodied person and have the opportunity to enhance its capacity for sensation - more specifically, to recognize the potential for healing that comes from the sparks of liveliness that can be discovered within your body and imagination. Qigong meditation is ONE of several methods. It is said again and again, that through this practice one may eventually approach an understanding of how to raise their "shen" (spirit) or "shine peacefully", which comes only as a result of choice, intent, and diligent work.
Qigong methods allow people to have a close look at the feelings of sickness and wellness in their bodies and improve how they approach exercising that part of the body with the conscious direction of the mind, and also how to allow it to open up and relax.
The utility of the mind has been devalued in western medical science, separating mind from body, leaving the global patient at a significant disadvantage in a pharmaceutical empire of misled caregivers.
Later on, I intend on elaborating on the topic "What is healing? What is it to cure?" from an existential and self-transcendent point of view.
I hope this, as well as future interpretations, will be found useful by those who loathingly wait at the dead end of their health care profiteers.
