Love through Health
Energy won’t kill you.
You are the energy that you feel then you expand into it.
Since love is total allowance and acceptance of what is, then that means that to stand in Love, we have to also accept our current state of well being or health. The corona virus is running rampant in the world as I write this. There is a lot of fear in the world. The stock markets have crashed for three days. So, even our economy is reacting to the fear. The fear of not being well.
I made a grocery list yesterday for my husband to get groceries for two weeks so that we would be prepared for a two-week period of staying at home. Is that fear or Just being prepared? Caution is not really fear. I am feeling cautionary. And I allow that feeling.
The Absence of Fear
So, what does Love have to do with it? Love is the absence of fear. And it is allowing the feelings that we are having. Not denying them. Until we don’t feel them. Then we can move on into accessing the Love that is already inside of us and waiting to come out.
Of course, when we are unhealthy, we are down and in bed or maybe just compromised in some way like we had a broken leg. Or maybe we are suffering from a disease. Any of those things can keep us from having a relationship with another whether we are physical indisposed or maybe we just don’t feel like it. When we have robust energy, we are much more likely to interact with another person. When I am sick, I just want to be left alone and go to bed.
My husband wants people to wait on him. And take care of him. He has a different approach. But then he is an extrovert. And I am an introvert. Although my mother was an extrovert and she wanted to be left alone when she was sick. So maybe that has nothing to do with it. Maybe it’s just learned behavior.
Wellness
I think that wellness is about loving ourselves. Its’ hard to love ourselves when we are sick. We are usually in judgment about how we have done something wrong; or we wouldn’t be sick in the first place. What if being sick has nothing to do with doing something wrong? It just is.
We need to accept that it is and move on to getting well. If we can love our current state of health for what it is, then we can move on to being healthier.
A Touch of Flu
I had a touch of the flu a couple of weeks ago. I almost never get sick. I wondered why I was sick. But then I just said oh well. I’m going to bed until I feel like I can get up. And I did. I was dizzy, tired and didn’t feel like doing anything. There were a few moments when I enjoyed being on the couch doing nothing. I did make the judgement about myself that I had been working too hard without a break. I needed to just stop everything. And I did. My body was telling myself to stop.
So, did I do something wrong? I let myself go into judgement for just a short time. Then I let it go. Not stopping might have been wrong; but the virus stopping me was definitely right. So, did I love the flu? Not exactly. But I did like the stopping very much.
Love your Body
We don’t have to love our colds. But we should love our bodies for their right reactions to our behavior. We should love our bodies for their ability to adapt and heal themselves.
We should be grateful for the miracle and magic that our bodies are. They can for the most part, heal themselves. There are times when we need to assist them with medicine and rest or a different behavior. But that’s OK. We are in a relationship with our bodies. And that relationship is a loving relationship. Our bodies are grateful to us for all the assistance we give it. And we are grateful to our bodies for all the experience that they give us. After all, without our bodies we would have awareness but no experiences.
Techniques for Experiencing Love through Health
- When your body seems to get well on its own or with you help, say: thank you body for healing yourself. Say Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- When you get sick and it seems to be the result of some behavior, say Thank you body for making me aware of my behavior. I will do better next time. I will take better care of you next time.
