DeMartini on Health and Wellbeing. Living from a balanced perspective.
This evening, Dr John DeMartini was talking about Health, and wellbeing. Being a doctor, who has read a lot on the subject of health and wellbeing, I figured it would be interesting to hear his take on health and wellness, and how to restore health, to an ill person. Not least because of my own physical condition, Lymphatic Filariasis, which I have yet to be completely healed from.
Of course, I didn’t get quite what I was expecting upon my arrival!! DeMartini started out at the level of the individual cell, explaining how just the cell is still an individual mystery to science… They know what happens, they just don’t understand why, or how processes get triggered…
At the level of the cell, it was almost as if there was a balancing act occurring, and whilst there was a balanced environment the cell remained healthy. DeMartini also brought into the equation an intelligence that was present, as being the behind the scenes capacity for the cells to be able to perform everything that they do, and he mapped out how there was a level of conscious intelligence at ever level of the human body. From the level of the cell, that was conscious, to the level of the tissue, and then organs, and different bodily systems, to the level of the body as a whole, until it reached the level of us. He described how these levels of consciousness layered and interfaced with each other, and if there was an unresolved issue with any of them, then they would get stuck, and the physical level below it would manifest the imbalance. Clearly they’re all interconnected, and with his understanding, one way of working through any physical ailment, is to identify the underlying stuck emotion, or state, and work it through the conscious mind, until through catharsis it’s released, and leaves the system, restoring balance and harmony…
Jumping forward a little, DeMartini goes onto describe how from his perspective, he started to observe a phenomena of balance, how nature always finds a way of balancing things, and health is the product of a balanced environment. His research team went back through time to find moments when major events happened in the world and he discovered that for every major event that happened in history, somewhere in another part of the world, there was something happening, to balance it out.
This holistic worldview was something which he then shared from his own experiences of balancing, and seeing the balance restored. During his time working as a doctor, there are days he would have a great day at work. He would get a bunch of extra clients, and have a really good day, and he would be really proud of how good he was, and how much better than all the other doctors he was, and on those days, when he got home, his wife would bring him down. On other days, he would have a really bad day, the practice would be a little slow, and things just wouldn’t be going right, and on those days, when he got home his wife would bring him up.
Now, he had an office on the 52nd floor of a tall building, and what he started to do, was at the end of the day, before going home to his wife, on the good days, he would bring himself off his high horse by thinking of all the people he didn’t serve today, all the patients he didn’t see, all the doctors he didn’t compliment, and just finding faults, to make sure he got a balanced perspective, and got to neutral. And on the bad days, he would start to go through all the things he did accomplish, all the good stuff that he had done, all the people that he had helped, all the small things he had done that day for people, bringing himself upto neutral.
And what he found was that when he did this, and brought himself back to neutral then when he got home, his wife would also be at neutral, ready and receptive for him. This neutral state was described as being a balancing between the mind and the heart, a state of gratitude and appreciation, that was balanced and aligned. And it’s almost as if by putting himself into that the state, his wife, all the way back home, was also finding her way into that state simultaneously, as if through some form of quantum entanglement. In my mind, that’s just the next level of consciousness manifesting itself – the consciousness that exists between two people. When it’s in harmony, it’s balanced, and when it’s out of harmony you get the whole good guy bad guy scenario playing out.
All in all, I think there’s something to be said for balance, and grace being something that we as a society can strive towards.. and perhaps were media providing a more balanced perspective on life, the world would come into balance (but you can always argue it the other way too huh??) I guess it can only begin with ourselves, striving to be in balance in our daily lives, and slowly finding our sweet centre spot, aligned, balanced, so that we can then be able to live in balance with others, creating a world of peace, and harmony.
