Passing over the pain.

   I read a very inspiring article yesterday, one that educated me on the essence of slavery, it’s the inability to make a personal choice, and so as one thought leads to another I find myself choosing to write even more on therapeutic choices I have witnessed from people that I have viewed as being an energy massage practitioner and author.

   And it’s becoming more challenging as time moves on to educate a society still bent on holding onto pain of the overwhelming benefits of a really good holistic massage and to also read one of my books on how to elevate that good flow of energy with one’s own awareness.

      Is there a choice to be made? Actually there are many.

   Just as Moses saw the burning bush all aglow while many other people walked passed it and only saw a plain every day ordinary bush so too is it possible for someone to attain higher states of consciousness with a good healing session while many other people see only the mundane benefits of physical relaxation. Just a rub? Or did that rub alone solve most of your pain complaints? And here too one thought leads to another. A self-indulging rub that can lead to a selfish desire to want more and more, and no matter how many good rubs you have there you are still complaining of the pain in your life.

   Freedom from slavery would mean to choose to break free from a temporary high that a mundane massage view point can give. It would mean to choose to perceive the shift in energy as being an open door to the next phase of elevated reality.  Like a caterpillar that sheds its cocoon and transforms into a beautiful unique butterfly enabling itself to reach higher heights to accomplish higher goals so too can  spiritual healing bring about amazing transformation for the willing individual.     

 It would require understanding how one’s consciousness pertains to the body through open communication and reading and not just a rub for the body alone. It would mean a person would have to get uncomfortable long enough to make a solid choice of what would be longer lasting and more sustainable in moving forward to a more sustainable life. It would mean choosing to let go of the pain that is being pampered instead of being freed from the self-slavery that continually holds it hostage.
