Healing ResponsesAre you having a
healing response?A client asked me to describe them in detail...
One of the things that is likely to happen as you pursue healing and dedicate yourself to the issue/cell memories you are working on is that you will initially feel much better and then, may feel a little discomfort. It may seem like more of the symptom you are trying to change or it may be discomfort that seems to be completely unrelated to the problem or memory. Often, it will be something familiar: the headaches you get every once in a while, the sneezing fits you have in the morning, the lower backache at the end of the day, or the winter cold that comes to visit and stays!
But here's the thing: now that you are faithfully doing your healing codes every day and keeping your autonomic nervous system in balance, those familiar symptoms will improve and gradually disappear. And this is the
paradigm shift you need to make: if they
aren't getting better, and you are experiencing them, they are
now probably a healing response! And I don't mean just the physical stuff, either, I mean irritability, depression, sadness, shame, anger, etc.
What we are used to doing whenever we have discomfort is creating a reasonable explanation for it so that our world continues to make sense. We sniffle and we remember that we shook hands with Sally a couple of days ago before finding out that she had a cold. We decide that we have caught it and will, therefore, not feel well for a week or so. But this is a form of what I call creative writing. Making up the stories of our lives, which may or may not be true!
We feel tired in the morning and we immediately remember looking at the clock as we went to bed. So we tell ourselves we're tired because we stayed up too late. And we know that that means we'll probably be tired all day.
As the day goes on, we notice that we are a bit irritable and we feel guilty for snapping at a few people who got in our way, one way or another. We decide that it must be PMS or low blood sugar or the traffic snafu we encountered on the way to work or the brief argument we had this morning.
But what if none of it is true?
What of the sniffle, the tiredness and the irritability are ALL healing responses?? What if we could resolve them in hours
or minutes? Once we convince ourselves of our preferred, more familiar explanations, we may be stuck with those symptoms for days! But if we can get into the habit of immediately recognizing that they are healing responses, we may be able to leave the house without them!
What is a healing response?A healing response is a sign that you are healing the problem or issue you are working on, and that your body is attempting to release the toxic material associated with those cellular memories being healed. But there is some delay or "traffic jam" keeping them from being released completely and what's happening, instead, is that you are experiencing them in some form: headaches, irritability, sleepiness, upset stomach, sadness, etc.
The mistake some people make when this happens is to try to "tough it out" by continuing to do their codes, hoping that the symptoms will just go away. Instead, the symptoms get worse, and more symptoms present themselves!! If there were an actual traffic jam, it would be like deliberately sending more cars in that direction. Or, to put it another way, it would be like trying to add more fiber to your diet, noticing that you're constipated, choosing to ignore that and continuing to eat more fiber.
Here are several steps to take when you have been working on a code and you are feeling some discomfort...
(1) Do the same code but change the focus to "healing response symptoms" and name the ones you are experiencing.
(2) Do your code intensively--for half an hour or an hour at a time at least once that day.
(3) Do your code much more frequently--every hour or two hours for 10-15 minutes at a time.
(4) "Multiply the effectiveness" by very high numbers to super-charge your code.
(5) If you've done all of these steps but you are still having the healing response, do it again for an extended period of time, and then, go back to every hour. You might also try increasing the numbers you were using.
(6) If your healing response lasts longer than a day and you've been following these steps precisely, call your coach for troubleshooting.
