Helping the Healing Cycle

We left you at the end of '07 with the 'eternal NOW.'

We welcome you to '08 with one of my favourites - the law of Conservation of Energy.

We are conceived with a predetermined quantity/quality of life force.

It is our choice as to how we spend our allotment.

When the body needs to perform an extra-ordinary function, ie. entering into a healing cycle in order to repair itself, it draws on this allotment.

In order to facilitate the process of healing we should assist the body by resting - thus the conservation of energy.

Resting is not simply a matter of ceasing physical activity - it is also a process of resting the digestive (chemical) and mental (electrical) processes.

1. Physical rest is best attained by going to bed.

   - best done without the aid of all electrical devices and stimulating literature.

2. Digestive energy is best conserved by 'fasting.'

   - only done with the guidance of a competent practitioner.
   - if complete abstinence from food is not possible then a mono diet of fruit will greatly assist in the resting of the digestive organs.

3. Mental energy is restored by being positive and attaining a state of equilibrium in ones thoughts.

   - fear is the greatest threat to equanimity
   - overcome this emotion and observe the tremendous change that transforms the rester into a much more peaceful state.

By combining these 3 states the body will be greatly assisted during its healing cycle.

All the best in rest.
