What if? it’s a small world After all!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be a part of a community whose primary focus was harmony? Or even if we could see what that type of community looks like so we could use it as a model? Wouldn’t that be great? What if we are already part of a community like this, a very large one, in fact, and all we really need to do is look within?
I recently listened to the book "The Wisdom of Your Cells" by Bruce Lipton, PhD. In the book he talks about the fractal patterning of nature, and how we humans are not excluded from this. It was so fascinating to listen to him illustrate the As above; So below-ness of our bodies, and how right down to our cells we are made of complete systems. Our cells carry out individually all of the functions that our body carries out collectively. It is a beautiful representation of the holographic nature of being! He also sheds light on the fact that our bodies are just giant communities of cells each doing their part to ensure proper function of the body. This community must hold harmony in the highest regard, for without it there is no chance of thriving--for your body harmonious unity is a matter of survival. The book explores how we can look within, to this community, for the wisdom of how to be in thriving community. I highly recommend checking it out!
As I listened, I was inspired to apply this concept of the fractal patterning to my healing. Instead of the overwhelming task of healing my whole body, why not focus my attention on one cell, or at least move my focus to the cellular level. Real-izing what is true for one cell would have to be true for all of my cells. It was worth a shot! First to decide what cell to focus on...
Well, some cells have a pretty short life span, so I wanted to make sure that the cell I worked with was going to stick around for a while! A quick Google search was in order! 😂 When I asked, “What cells in the human body live the longest?” the first answer to pop up was neurons, or nerve cells, including our brain cells which are suspected to be able to live for over 200 years. While this made sense to me, for some reason I felt like that was not the answer I was looking for, so I scrolled on. And there I saw it! According to BBC's ScienceFocus.com, your eye lens cells last your entire life! 👀Wow! Of course! That makes so much sense to me! Essentially the lens through which we view our world is comprised of the same cells today as when we were born! No wonder it is so hard for us to shift our perspectives on the core things, because when we get to the core of our perception, we have been looking through lenses that were molded & shaped a long time ago. And these cells have been the eyes for, and informants to our neurons, perceiving and relaying information about the environment we are in to our nervous system, and subsequently our entire body. So, what other cells could be a more perfect candidate for healing?
Before I go into the experience that has unfolded I want to add, once I began thinking about our cells as a community and how healing on this level might work, it came to me that while our eye lens cells and the other cells related to our 5 senses are the reporters or media channels, our neurons play the role of influencers. They are taking in the information provided, processing & forming an opinion about it, and deciding the best course of action. They then spread it like wildfire throughout the body getting everyone onboard to take action in harmonious union. This just reaffirmed that the eye lens cells would be a perfect choice because, as they returned to their natural state of well being, the neurons would quickly catch wind of this and spread the gospel of wellness throughout my entire body! ❤️🔥
Also, I have noticed over the last couple of years that as I have gotten healthier my eyesight has improved slightly-- just enough to add to my irritations around wearing glasses, which I have done since age 11. Having added bifocals about 5 years ago and soon after adding in a pair of glasses for the computer at work, I have tried to ‘pair’ down each time I have noticed improvement to no avail.
I began visualizing my eye lens cells as these perfectly functioning little organisms swimming around freely and harmoniously (pulling from memories of microscope images of little round things moving around each other). Then I started sending love & light to them, at which point I remembered that all of our cells produce light! So now they looked more like little suns radiating around. But as I thought more about their role and the community aspect, I decided I needed to go with a less traditional vision of them. They soon became these beautiful, shapely socialites with their faces pressed up against the window of the eye wall looking at all the beautiful things in the world. "Oh my goodness, did you just see that?" "Oh, look over here, quick!" "Aww, how sweet!" …the murmurs of excitement and joy… some moved to tears, and when the neurons show up, they are practically tripping over themselves trying to recount it all. "All is well!" they say. "We are safe!" " Everything is going our way!" "Isn't it just wonder full!" they exclaim blushing and gushing. 🥰
I also utilized my other tools including several PSYCH-K® balances with the help of Louise Hay's affirmations associated with the eyes in "You Can Heal Your Life." For instance, “I am willing to see my own beauty and magnificence." After diving deep into all of the different angles of healing my eye lens cells for about a week, something happened that made me aware of an improvement in my vision! Like never before kind of improvement! A return of my near sight--no more bifocals--no more computer glasses!
So, I’ve doubled down, surrendering my far sight and using this as a new focus for my goal statements. I have continued to improve to the point that I can now see better without my glasses then with them! Very exciting yet leaving me in a place wondering if/when I will regain my full far sight…while I do wish to lean into and follow my guidance--I do want to see the world around me clearly! I decided the only thing to do at this point is to embrace and love where I am and take advantage of the opportunity to lean into my other senses.
When I began working on healing these eye lens cells, clear vision was the expected outcome. What I did not expect was that on top of the physical improvements to my vision, I have gained an expanded, multidimensional view of my world! And, actually, this has been a more profound healing than that of my physical vision. I don't have the space here to go into depth about that but here is an example:
Over the last year I have been doing much work around feeling and knowing that I am fully supported. Last year, it came to me that I could not truly see myself as fully supported until I could see that Truth about all others as well--if it is true for one, it is true for all! Most specifically, I needed to see that was true for my husband. I have been working on that, and making progress, but I have now had a breakthrough, expanding my view dimensionally! I didn't feel it was flat before, but now I do!
I see now that I need to see him as fully supported by God/Source/The Universe/All That Is, because this full support is what gives him the ability to be fully supportive of me. At the same time, I must support him (I'm part of All that Is... hehehe) by holding a vision of him in a higher degree of Love, fully supported and able to support me, so that I can choose to experience that version of him in any given moment. And when I do that, he becomes a part of my full support! And it is not that my being fully supported is dependent on him, but on me choosing that version of him (or any of the other players in my life) & vice versa. Whoa! That was a lot! I hope you were able to follow that…it is not easy to convey in words. I think part of the multidimensionality is experiential! This new vision has helped my see the Greatest Degree of Love in an expanded way as well! I will write about that at some point in the future...I'm not sure I can quite put that into words yet!
I will leave you with one last expansive view that I have gained this month. Most of us have been ingrained with this idea of perfection that is completely limiting and therefore, imperfect. I had to have a difficult conversation this month and, as I am sure many of us do, I rehearsed it over and over in my head and had the idea of what the perfect version of it looked like on both sides of the table. I even took it a step further and visualized it going perfectly. And guess what? It went just as I pictured--🤣 Not! Ha!
But you know what? Because of the perceived imperfect track that it did take, I was afforded an expanded view that I would not have seen otherwise. One that will most definitely help me in all of my future difficult moments! And as for this healing of my eye lens cells, my previous definition of perfect healing would have equaled instantaneous. But if that had happened, I would not have kept digging deeper, delving into all of the layers that led me to this multidimensional, expansive vision that I have gained! I would not trade that experience. And while my vision is not yet 20/20 it is almost there! I have not worn my glasses in almost 3 weeks now!
I encourage you to try it out! Simplify your healing process to the cellular level and see just how quickly changing one can impact the whole! Just don't pick your neutrophil cells--they are a type of white blood cell that may only live about 2 days!
