Pain is evolution’s oldest device for getting your
conscious mind involved in your body’s health and safety.
Pain
is your body’s version of tough love. Pain forces you to stop what you are
doing and shift your attention.
The acupuncture points situated along the meridians have been
likened to the amplifiers that are found along a telephone cable, boosting the
signal so that it can continue to the next amplifier.
Rather
than thinking of meridians as an obscure or foreign concept, you can know them
as 14 tangible pathways that carry energy into, through, and out of your body.
If
you keep ignoring your body’s demand that you slow down, your body will
eventually make the decision for you.
Your
nervous system is a phenomenally sensitive 37 mile long antenna that
reverberates to the subtle and not so subtle energies of the world in which you
live. Everything from the food you eat
to the people you encounter carries its own frequency and impacts your nervous
system. While most of these vibrations
exist below the threshold of your awareness, your body resonates to some and
tenses against others.
Pain is more than just a distress signal. It is a distress signal with teeth. It insists that you fix the problem and that,
if you don’t know how, you figure it out.
