Today, I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite authors and speakers - Dr. David Hawkins. He is a retired psychiatrist who had the largest practice in the country. He had more than 25,000 patients that he treated in a unique approach - multidimensional. Was it effective? So much so that he amazed his peers when he healed their "hopeless" cases and sometimes within seconds.
Dr. Hawkins' premise is that "living in harmony with the environment is normal". Feeling good and being well is normal. Our western culture has adopted "drugs, surgery, or counseling" as their healing modalities. But Dr. Hawkins introduced "consciousness" to healing. My world-renowned accupuncturist, Tao Tan, used to say if it was life threating, opt for western medicine; otherwise stick to eastern culture and their methods to get more lasting results.
Dr. Hawkins wanted his patients involved with their healing journey - which includes physical ailments as well as mental or spiritual challenges. And how about his credentials? For a beginning, he has overcome 27 illnesses of his own. But perhaps his best known tool is his own "scientifically formulated blueprint". For 29 years, Dr. Hawkins worked on a study which indicated the mental state of an individual determined his strength or weakness.
He formulated his study into a scale from 1-1,000 "that mapped human consciousness". He used kinesiology (muscle testing) to demonstrate human strength or weakness. This system has also been used to establish truth from falsity.
The lowest energetic level on his map was being a victim - at point 20. That's where I spent the major portion of my life until I became consciously aware. Then I began a slow healing journey up the scale. Fear would constantly send me on a tailspin backwards. Two hundred was the dividing line between the lower and high energies. I desperately desired to dwell above the 200 mark.
During my healing journey, I learned the power behind the mind, body, and spirit connection. I came to understand that the mind could control the body. Migraines were never as debilitating once I learned to use my mind to relax my body. Meditating became a daily habit. I learned to let tears escape and not hold them back because they were healing to many stuffed emotions.
I've heard Dr. Wayne Dyer say "It's not the food you eat that causes problem with your weight. Rather, it's what you believe about the food you eat." I learned that changing my beliefs could bring about healing changes in my body.
I delved into my fears and came to understand they had been established many years earlier when I went through traumatic experiences in my life. Dr. Carolyn Myss and others who can view energy sees these experiences stored up as gray globs in the energetic fields. The feelings don't change until we go to the fields and release these energies.
Just knowing that love, peace, and joy were higher up on the map of consciousness assisted me in realizing I could obtain these levels by letting go of the past, its beliefs and holds on me, and trust that I could achieve these desired goals. I could no longer be content to stay in the box where everything was comfortable because it was well known. I had to have enough courage and trust to push myself beyond my comfort zone. The prizes I desires were awaiting me over the threshold and into a new field. Rupert Sheldrake, the English scientist, calls this morphic resonance and morphic fields.. It is within that parameter that new things happen and change lives. It is a risk, and it is a journey - a healing journey. There is much more about all this in my book: The Illness That Healed Me.
