I have now been experimenting with The Healing Code for thirteen days, and continuing to take the antibiotics for Lyme. The test came back negative. I am experiencing considerably less to no pain in my joints and significantly more overall energy. In addition, the functionality of my right shoulder, which was of specific concern is, at a minimum, fifty percent improved.
After acknowledging the conclusions I came to about myself as a child and applying the code to those memories I let them go. I can now bring up the images of me spelling the word incorrectly and sitting down with little or no emotional resonance. I moved on to my shoulder pain. As I allowed memories to connect themselves to this pain I was reminded of the day I originally injured the shoulder. There was an immense amount of internal pain, drama, and guilt that day which I recalled and have been releasing. As I “Coded” these memories I came upon the following revelation:
“I am now and have always been consciousness, evolving perfectly in the love, light, and life of G_d”.
The meaning I am giving to the word G_d is the amazing energizing force beyond which I can conceive intellectually that is and has always been. It is the force in which we are enmeshed, the cosmic web of existence/non-existence.
Where else could I have been but where I was, ever? Where else can I be but where I am now? When judgment stops, the door to a life so expansive that it is dizzying opens. Behind that door lay responsibility, grace, and creativity.
I can appreciate fully that I am here and now in my evolution and can assume responsibility to envision what’s next. I awaken to see thoughts, feelings, and actions that get me closer to manifesting that vision and which don’t. I have more energy to navigate the river of life, aware that while I am responsible navigating, I am not nor can be responsible for the river. The river is impacted by an infinite array of influences “know”. Attempting to control the river is pure folly. Increasing my skillfulness at navigating is pure brilliance. There is a current, always to the sea, always back to the mother lode. I can find it and stay in it or I can go against it – which takes considerable more energy.
As I accept that I am consciousness, that I am evolving within the current of life itself, I easily embrace creative responsibility, the perfection of the adventure, and the love, light, and life of all that is.
What a different and more powerful conceptualization of “who I am” than what I was told growing-up and what I had been telling myself! I offer it to all of us. Thank you to Alexander Loyd and Ben Johnson for providing the simple yet profound technique of The Healing Code[1].

My crude understanding of the Healing Code technique, having not finished the book, is the following:
1. Rate the issue bothering you on a scale from 0-10, with 10 being most painful.
2. Identify and feelings or unhealthy beliefs identified with the issue.
3. Think back to the earliest time you can remember having a similar feeling experience, even if the circumstances were different, without really digging.
4. Rate the memory, 0-10.Use the strongest or earliest memory and work on it first. Their supposition: “Often when you heal the earlier or strongest memory, all other memories “attached” to that core memory heal at the same time.”[1]
5. Say the specific prayer for healing that the authors provide.
6. Do the “The Healing Code” actions while repeating a “Truth Focus Statement” for a minimum of six minutes three times a day minimally.
Please suspend whatever comes up for you regarding the notion of prayer and accept this technique as an experimental possibility rather than an affirmation or challenge to the “truth” you hold about disease, health, and wellness, prayer, your concepts of the divine or any other deeply held beliefs. I am not advocating this technique as “truth”. I am exploring it’s efficacy on this most intriguing path I find myself on. Thank you.
So on Friday morning I followed the directions and the memory of spelling bees came up for me. I remember almost always being the first one out at the weekly spelling bees we were subjected to in grades one through six. I remember the humiliation I felt and the conclusion I came to again and again – that somehow I was a deeply flawed inadequate human being and EVERYONE ELSE had a skill somehow more valuable than my absence of skill. I felt awful, week after week after week as the same think happened. I studied yet more often than not the word would appear to me phonetically when I recalled it in my mind. I didn’t think I was inadequate, I experienced it weekly. No one wanted me on their spelling team. Those who are old enough, remember how the room was divided in two, each to it’s own side?
Spelling phonetically was not appreciated. Being able to regurgitate the socially consensual answer was appreciated, applauded, and rewarded. This is not a complaint. I see the value of consensus spelling. What I have recalled is not a problem but a circumstance where the conclusion I came to as a child has in some ways remained with me deeply embedded yet forgotten, while running like a stealth virus in a computer program, underneath my conscious awareness.
Don’t get me wrong. I have been “successful” and remarkably creative professionally, emotionally, intrapersonally and interpersonally yet there is this haunting awareness of being somehow different and inadequate which arises when my overall energy supply is depleted. It not only undermines my confidence in me, it undermines my confidence in the interconnected and interdependent reality of which we are all a part.
How is this? Because if I am a part and reflection of the whole and I am inadequate and flawed, then the whole is as well. It’s subtle, it’s deeply embedded, and it’s an inaccurate conclusion made in the mind of a young child carried deeply within for fifty plus years.
So what effect do these early conclusions exert on me, on us, since something similar can be found in one way or another in every human being’s experience? How might a nagging self judgment and criticism be connected with my joint pain, with whatever pain you expereince?

I had been feeling truly awful. Just about every major joint in my body was aching: shoulders, neck, elbows, low back, and knees. I’ve been watching as each of my beloved activities has become increasingly less pleasurable and possible. Last year I asked for a Lyme test. It came out negative. I figured it wasn’t Lyme and that whatever it was would clear up. It did, more or less, until it came back with a vengeance in February after an upper respiratory tract viral infection which left me in so much shoulder pain that I literally could not lift a cup of tea!
“This has got to go” I declared and committed to see my primary care physician for a diagnosis. He sent me for physical therapy (PT). They sent me back to the primary for a MRI before they would begin. That sent me to an orthopedist who diagnosed the condition as tendinosis (not tendonitis which is a more common diagnosis) and sent me for PT.
Having the holistic perspective that I do, in addition to the PT I made dietary changes (eliminated animal and supposedly acid forming inflammatory vegetable kingdom foods), went for acupuncture treatments, chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, took targeted supplements, and laid off all irritating activities possible. My motivation was HIGH. In addition to the desire to feel comfortable and capable physically I was scheduled for a six-day river rafting trip down the Colorado River culminating with a seven and a half mile climb from the river to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. That’s a 5000 feet uphill! My intention was focused and clear. Two weeks before the trip, in addition to the shoulder issue, my leg “went out” simply by crossing the street and I was unable to walk. I was disgusted and doubled my intention. I was going. I would be on that trip and I would make that climb or I’d be helicoptered out of the canyon!. Either way, I was going.
Peter and I jointed our group of fourteen intrepid adventurers a few miles down from the Powell Dam, at Lee’s Ferry. My shoulder was improved yet continued to hurt. My neck became a focus of pain. I, who rarely take over the counter medications, was resorting to the Tylenol in my first aid kit to be able to sleep on the river’s shores under the canopy of the most exquisite night sky in this most hauntingly beautiful and dramatic environment.
During the days on the river I noticed myself stretching and rolling my neck and shoulders to release the pain they were feeling, all the while listening to the lessons the river, the ancient rocks, and the wind were imparting to my soul. During the hikes I moved slowly with great care, feeling the instability of my knee as I maneuvered over the uneven terrain. The climb out of the canyon was spectacular, with me inhaling deeply and exhaling completely – meditating on the increasing strength of my form while the entire canyon was exposing itself to me step by step. We made it up to the South Rim in nine hours with numerous rest periods, especially as we got to the higher altitudes. The trip was truly exquisite and I was with pain. My knees did strengthen during that climb and their stability reestablished itself. I was amazed and filled with gratitude.

We ran Zenith on IFS financials exclusively for six months and then completed the rest of the body, the penis is not supported by any skeletal structure or cartilage. buying viagra on line
I had a theory. The theory was that if the pain was from enduring stress, stress that I wasn’t aware of carrying, it would have dissipated in the canyon. That did not happen so I was back with stronger knee joints yet persistent pain. As I was inquiring what might be happening in my body I remembered that blood tests for Lyme can be false negative and false positive. Definitive they are not. I am not a newbie to Lyme. I have been diagnosed with it and treated for it three times in the past. I determined to go back to my primary care physician, share what was going on and request the antibiotics to treat Lyme. If it is Lyme, I theorized and the doctor concurred, the antibiotics would most likely do the trick. If it wasn’t Lyme – well no reason to go there until there is a reason. At the same time, my good friend, conscious being and blogger Alison Greenberg Skylar recommended a technique that she and her husband were exploring; The Healing Code.
The basic theory behind the technique, which is explained in-depth in the book of the same name by Alexander Loyd, PhD, ND and Ben Johnson, MD, DO, NMD, is that their “simple’ process eliminates enduring stress which interrupts the ability of the power generating stations within each of our trillions of cells, the mitochondria, from metabolizing oxygen and nutrients properly and thoroughly eliminating the toxic byproducts of cell metabolism. This disruption by the body’s stress response, which has been proven through numerous studies, is perfectly fine if it is for the amount of time it takes us to run from an assailant or swim to shore after being carried out further than we wished by a wave. There is no damage if our cells can’t breathe fully, eat, or take out their trash for two, ten, or twenty-four hours. When there is a prolonged disruption of energy generation in the cell, for days, weeks, months or years on end, the miraculous immune capabilities of the cells diminish and wherever we have acquired or inherited weaknesses disease occurs. The Healing Code restores the tranquil inter-cellular state that allows a full energy feed for the maintenance and repair functions of each cell.
The premise is that while there are a myriad of diseases, the single cause of disease is prolonged stress. They further theorize that much of this long-term stress is stress that has been trapped in our cells from past experiences – those that we were too young and inexperienced as humans to process accurately. “Ok”, I said to myself, “Possibly. I will begin using the code and see what happens over the next few weeks and months.” I am a perfect human guinea pig for this, nothing to lose.” To be continued….

As I pulled down my driveway last Friday a flash of brilliant blue caught my eye. My focus followed the flash and within seconds I recognized it as an Eastern Bluebird. What joy flooded my being! What was it about this vivaciously colored songbird that brought me such joy and hope as a harbinger of happiness?
The Eastern Bluebird is considered fairly common in the Northeast although this was perhaps the fifth time in the six decades of my life that I have had the pleasure of one’s company, however fleeting! Their range is from the Rocky Mountains east, an enormous area. Their favorite habitat is the forest edge, where forest meets farm and field. This may help to explain why I haven’t seen them very often. It has been many moons since my area of New Jersey has been rich in edge of forest habitat. Bluebirds eat small fruits and hunt insects, spiders, and other creatures from above so technically they are predators. The perch, watch, and then swoop to the ground to pounce on their prey.
From where did this connection between happiness and Bluebird that arose in my mind/body arise? First of all, there is the beauty and surprise of seeing a quickly moving object of brilliant blue flash by. As I consider the color of a Bluebird I am not recalling many instances of naturally occurring living beings this color, at least not in our ecosystem. There are blue skies, precious and semiprecious gems, bodies of water, pigments, certain flowers, tropical butterflies, common blue damselflies, blue lobsters (occur one in a million), blue poison dart frogs, Hyacinth Macaws, and even a blue human being, 59-year-old Paul Karason who apparently has blued himself unintentionally by ingesting colloidal silver in solution as a health tonic! So simply seeing a brilliantly azure being here in my mid-Atlantic mixed hardwood habitat is a treat!
Then there is the mythology of the bluebird of happiness that that reaches back thousands of years. Bluebirds are a widely accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births, and the renewal of springtime. In magical symbolism, bluebirds are used to represent confidence in the positive aspect and egotism in the negative.. [1]
Finally there is the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from the Wizard of Oz. Since childhood this has always been one of my favorite songs. It associates Bluebirds with a land where beauty, kindness, and love are the norm. Wherever it came from, that Bluebird crossed my vision and my heart quickened with joy and appreciation. I felt a change in my internal landscape and a refreshing of the screen of my mind that is lasting for days. May a Bluebird cross your path soon and may we all be open to the miraculous quality of our natural world, wherever it may waken us!

Sometimes an enormous emotional wave floods our experience. It may be an unanticipated and prolonged illness of a loved one, an individual we placed our trust in that acted differently than we had anticipated, unhinging our sense of security in the world and cracking a primary relationship, a loss of a job in a global financial meltdown or a self-limiting local meltdown that changes our lifestyle and our dreams in the present, an accident that alters our destiny.
These situations come with little warning, or warnings we were too inexperienced to read accurately. We find ourselves clinging on to whatever remains solid, staying above the emotional tsunami with all our strength while swimming consciously towards solid ground. We stay afloat. We practice lifesaving for those we care about inundated by the same wave. We swim and cling and find ourselves and our loved ones whole or perhaps less than whole yet on solid ground. The waters have receded. We are all here, or maybe one or more of us didn’t make it.
We look around and take our bearings. The wave is gone. There is relief. We fall to the ground. Our emotional arms and legs are exhausted. We found opportunity in the current, the flotsam and jetsam. We maneuvered powerfully and discover that now our ability to move is temporarily absent. Our energy is exhausted. We look around. Many of the pursuits we were engaged in prior to the tsunami have been swept away by the receding waters and scattered by the winds. The work of gathering what remains and creating anew awaits us.

Though medical cheap viagra science can help people get proper psychiatric evaluations. Remember, problem shared is problem halved! Get in touch with the physician. buy cheap cialis basically is a marriage saviour and also provides sexual confidence to a person. And await it does. This is the time to be compassion with ourselves and what we have experienced. This is the time to integrate what we have experienced, to acknowledge our exhaustion, to validate and honor our accomplishment and the energy we expended. This is the time to allow ourselves to recharge and renew – to celebrate our intentionality, commitment, dedication, and love. Anything less is a betrayal of self and a denial of what is so.
If we allow this time for recharging we will build anew. We will collect the pieces we desire to create as we are able. This is practicing wellness, commitment, and vision. Congratulations.

How much energy to you expend trying to “get it right”? If you are like just about every human being I know, it’s a considerable expenditure out of your daily energy budget. What’s tricky about achieving success with this approach is that “right” is not only situation specific, it’s also totally subjective. Right for whom? Right for when? How right can you get it? How right? How durable is this right? When will what’s right become what’s not right again?
My business isn’t going in the right direction. My parents didn’t parent right. The way I see things is right, not the way my boss sees things. My kid isn’t living her life right. My body isn’t right. My reaction wasn’t right. It’s not right that I don’t feel love for my significant other. There are infinite examples of trying to “get it right” in our day to day lives.
“Of course I want to get it right”, you may be thinking, “doesn’t everyone and why not”? The trap in getting it right is that this kind of right is a formulaic. Life isn’t a balanced equation that responds to formulas. It is a dynamic process of change. Getting it real acknowledges and honors this dynamic process and provides the most solid foundation for a next step. Let’s look at the examples above from the perspective of getting it real.
I feel stuck in my business. I am tired of the effort I continue to make with results that are not satisfying to me. I want to work less and have the business generate more profit. How can I reach this goal? What are inherent strengths I can capitalize on and weaknesses I can reduce or eliminate, both in myself and the business? What actions and what projected schedule can I create that will allow my mind to know that I have a plan and am committed and clear in following it? What is my exit strategy if I find that I am unable to pull this off? Getting real transforms being stuck to being in action, reconciling what is and what can be, accepting and planning for different eventualities, and being at peace with the current situation..
My parents parented in the best way they knew how. They weren’t who they weren’t. Once I let go of how they should have been that they weren’t, I have the opportunity to release and unravel the twists that occurred in me growing up in the environment that existed at home. Getting real transforms feeling victimized to an opportunity to release the hurt, disappointment, anger, and defiance that is authentically present internally consciously and compassionately.
My boss is the boss. Working with her I feel unacknowledged, underappreciated, and like I am walking on eggs. I am a free person. I can leave this position and find another. I don’t really believe that. My fear keeps me working here, not my boss, and my responsibility to make the money that supports the lifestyle I’ve chosen. I can handle my fear and seek other positions responsibly. I can choose to remain where I am and find other avenues through which to be acknowledged and appreciated. I can begin hearing what she has to say and watch how she functions and discover something new about her, about me, and shift the relationship I’ve created with her. Getting real transforms feeling victimized into an opportunity to examine options intelligently.
My kid is getting in trouble in school and pulling mediocre grades at best. She’s been surly and withdrawn at home. I don’t recognize her anymore. I miss the relationship we had. I miss who she used to be. I don’t understand who she is now. I wonder what’s going on for her. She seems happy when she is with friends but defiant at home and in school. I’ve been rough on her because I’m scared for her future. What actions can I take to better understand if this is a “normal phase” or something else? Being real transforms anger and resentment into love, concern, and service.
I am carrying a considerable amount of fat on my body. This is showing me the consequences of my current lifestyle. What will my body reflect if I change how I am caring for it? What do I want from my body and for my body? Why do I want this? What steps am I willing to take to care for my body differently? Being real transforms disappointment and betrayal into responsibility, cooperation, and opportunity.
I was completely surprised by the challenging situation I found myself in. I reacted with a considerable amount of fear and leaned on others for support. Given the intensity of what happened and my unfamiliarity with it, I reached out for whatever support I could. I balanced myself as quickly as possible. I appreciate the support I received and I will let those that were there for me know how much their support allowed me to get where I am now. Being real transforms feeling helpless, ashamed, and needy to reconciliation, peace, and acceptance.
I am not feeling love for my significant other. I’m not. What’s going on with me? What is it that I want that I’m not experiencing? What might my significant other be feeling if I am feeling this way? If I’m honest with myself I realize that I care about my relationship, I have made quite an investment in it, and I am committed to discovering if and how I can renew my ability to appreciate and love. Being real transforms disappointment to opportunity to refresh and renew and consciously move on with integrity, regardless of the outcome.
The shift from getting it right to getting it real takes place through three conscious steps:
- Assume full and total responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, and reactions in any given situation. Give up holding situations responsible for your life. This means giving up the story that you keep telling yourself about the situation.
- Ask yourself what you really desire as an outcome in the situation. Feeling self-righteous, angry and resentful will not get you what you desire unless feeling this way is what you desire.
- Consciously design actions aligned with your deep values with the intention of moving you closer to the outcome you desire.
It is factually a pain and it may worsen if left untreated. levitra cheapest price Nowadays, you can find unica-web.com levitra cheap all sort of herbal medicines that can help you to treat an ailment naturally. Thankfully, women can generic levitra without prescription now match that energy through female libido pills like Provestra that help boost their sexual performance by using increasing the blood delivered to the desired parts of the body because of which erection does not lasts longer and is not proper. Once you have taken the drug, you should remove impotence. https://www.unica-web.com/archive/2006/koreatrain.pdf viagra line
While the process of getting it real is an upfront investment of intention and commitment, time and time again I have observed it generate a return of increases in the experience of peace and effectiveness that yields remarkable and life transforming results. The other option is to continue to try to get it right. How’s it been working for you? I gave up on it in 2007. Getting it real has been a game of life changer! Playing the game is infinitely more pleasurable, exciting, inspiring, and rewarding. Please let me know what happens if you choose to take this on.

While it’s been generally believed that people in unfamiliar terrain often end up walking in circles, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany proved this to be accurate, yet only under a specific circumstance. Findings presented in a study published in 2009 showed that when the study’s participants were tracked by GPS in two very different yet equally unfamiliar environments, they repeatedly walked in circles when they could not see a reference point. In this study, the reference point was the sun. Conversely, when there was a reference point, “when the sun was visible, participants sometimes veered from a straight course but did not walk in circles. They made progress in a specific direction.”[1]
What if this is true regarding how we live as well as how we navigate physically?
I love the concept of consciously “designing a future to live into”. This future of our design becomes the sun by which we navigate. It is out there, shining brightly, drawing us towards it. It is through this envisioned future that we can tell if we are happening off course. With our reference point we have the capacity to reorient ourselves and keep moving in the direction of our desire.
Without this future, what are we navigating by? If we have no reference point out there, are we expending great effort yet living in circles? Could this be why, at times, we feel we aren’t getting anywhere? Perhaps living without a designed future becomes living in circles or worse, living towards what was least enjoyable about our past?
When our reference point is how we don’t want to feel, what we don’t want to experience, we are navigating by our past, our pain, and our fears. And if we are navigating by what it is we desire to get away from, won’t that result in circles as well? We’ll be navigating by where we already are.

I’ve done that mistakenly with my automobile’s GPS, setting my destination to where I am rather than where I wanted to go. It kept directing me back to where I had been. Circles are exactly what happened until I realized the glitch!
In November I coached a young woman who was sure what she didn’t want in a partner. She’d go out in the world and see all these living examples of what she didn’t want, in droves! She found this over and over, reinforcing more of what she didn’t want. She was living in a circle. Her reference point? Her past experiences.
I asked her what qualities she did want in a partner. It was a new inquiry for her. We engaged in an exercise of identifying the qualities that she desired. Within a few months she was involved with a partner with the qualities she desired. She had set her sun in her sky, and she began to move towards it.
We can too, about anything in our lives. When we put that reference point up there and head out, we are heading in a progressive direction of both our design and our choice. Happy navigating.
