being, soaring energy, clear-headedness,
and so on—all communicate to us that
we are on the right track. Now, if we peel
back another layer, we can see that even
more than pain and pleasure, the body’s
premonitory symptoms come in the form of
expansion and contraction.
All symptoms of pain can be traced back
by hours, days, weeks, and even months
and years to unconscious contraction. Unconscious contraction is the premonitory
symptom of pain. The problem is that most
people don’t ever notice it because they
are unaware of how contraction and expansion fit into the order of Natural Law.
So long as we are operating under the
dictates of money, time, and fear, we will
remain in an extreme state of contraction.
Sadly, this is the norm for most people,
so it goes largely unnoticed in our culture.
Contraction is the held tension in the body
that leads to calcification and decay. That’s
why most people today are devitalized
and aging prematurely.
Until we become very conscious of the
contraction reaction at every level of our
being, and work consciously to reverse it,
we will never discover our true potential
as vast, unlimited beings. Even the most
aware among us are still steeped in contraction. We must release the tension and
ride waves of fluidity back to our flexible,
free, expansive selves.
You might ask, what will that feel like?
What I have found as I’ve undertaken this
journey from contraction to expansion is
that my body ceases to feel like just a
body that is useful for transporting me
through life; rather, it begins to feel like
an instrument of harmonious sensation, in
which every organ resonates with song.
I feel a vibratory hum with surges of brilliance in mind and body, as if my whole
being is aglow with the golden mean of
original design. There is no other feeling like it—it is the feeling of true health
and wellness. The body sings with blissful
sensation, the mind flows with ideas and
solutions, the heart brims with love for all
life forms. That is why I would do anything
to be able to sustain this feeling, to unlock
its secrets and share them with the world!
So what are some practical ways you can
move from the dark state of contraction
into the bright song of expansion? It’s quite
simple; you just have to be very clear with
your intentions and stay focused. I recommend going through every category of your
life, asking yourself many targeted questions, and answering them as honestly as
you can. To get you started, here are a few
examples of the kinds of questions you
might ask:
“What substances/relationships/habits/
thought patterns are contracting my life experience and which of those are expanding it?”
“What are the things I can do to begin to dissolve the tensions and calcifications and restore
lightness and flow to my life?”
“What foods and food combination enable my
system to flow and breathe more deepl y? Which
substances nurture gentle but powerful growth,
and which trigger violent triage?”
