Isn't it interesting how much we dislike change? Or is it just me? Another word for change is transition. According to
dictionary .com transition is: "movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another..." Our climate is in transition. Our economy is in transition. Our government is in major transition. Since one of the principles of
polarity therapy is "As above, so below", it would not surprise me to discover that many of us are experiencing more transition in our individual lives and bodies as well. Change is usually frightening because once it begins, no one can ever be really sure when it will end, how far it will go or even if the direction will remain the same. Religious institutions profit from that uncertainty by offering reassurance. I believe it is often worth the price. From an energy medicine perspective, physical change occurs AFTER energetic change occurs. An energy field shifts to a different vibratory rate. Frequencies increase or decrease and matter rearranges itself as atoms, molecules and cells dance to the beat of a different drummer. Change occurs first on a subtle level. Then, the physical universe begins to shift. Our bodies are part of that physical universe and they eventually respond to the energetic environment. This is the real story of health and illness, joy and depression. That physical (and emotional) shift can be very unpleasant. So, who controls the energetic environment? I don't know that I can answer that completely. I do know who controls the choice of food that I take into my body, the quality of water that I drink, the development of my muscles and other tissues through exercise, the people that I spend time with and, most important of all, the thoughts that I focus on. I may not have complete control of my personal energy field and the many fields which surround and permeate it but, I have a hell of an influence. I know that I can make those transitions much more tolerable...sometimes even exciting.
