In "Power vs Force" by David Hawkins, he writes,
"In the experiments to be described in this book, the reactions of the human body provide such a signal of change in conditions. As will be seen, the body can discern, to the finest degree, the difference between that which is supportive of life and that which is not."
"This isn't surprising: After all, living things react positively to what is life-supportive and negatively to what is not; this is a fundamental mechanism of survival. Inherent in all life forms is the capacity to detect change and react collectively - thus, trees become smaller at higher elevations as the oxygen in the atmosphere becomes scarer. Human protoplasm is far more sensitive than that of a tree." DH
There is so much going on in the Universe that we are not aware of; all the little choices that are made due to a detection of change in conditions.
I see the home environment as a small universe within the universe. And its occupants with highly sensitive bodies, that detect change of conditions.
Children come in with bodies of high intelligence, that far exceeds what their minds know. And they too learn to grow or not grow depending upon the climate within the home.
No matter what they are told, they can feel the lay of the land, and adapt in order to survive. When love turns abusive...their bodies detect the change of conditions...they become alert, wary, anxious, etc...and grow accordingly.
They will require less if less is given.
Or flourish and expand according to the safety and love given.
You don't have to know the intimate details of a family home, just look at its children. How are they doing in society? Are they flourishing or floundering?
We step forth with the markers of how we were raised.
You can see those of us who lived in home environments where the child wasn't seen; we have a hard time finding ourselves, our voices, our worth. We grew low...we adjusted our selves and didn't rise higher than the treatment.
Our stunted growth shows.
The lack of emotional growth or balanced lives.
What is so remarkable, is that we forget we are not permanently planted, like a tree. We can transplant ourselves...and Move to a more Life Supporting environment.
What is hard for folks to imagine is that parents will naturally keep their children at the same level they are. They can only raise a child as high as they are, no higher.
My life clearly showed how I only grew as high as my mother.
And it would have been stunted there, had I not gotten out.
My body had always felt the negative vibes, but I had overrode them. I believed that my body was working incorrectly, for it was sending signals Against family.
I believed that I had to work harder to be/feel more loving toward my parents. I had feeling issues.
It was a horrifying relief to know my body was right on.
Except now I had to reverse all that I knew and follow this highly sensitive brilliant body...and celebrate each feeling.
For each feeling was a signal to me of the condition and changes around me. It didn't care what I believed, what dogma I followed, what history I had with people, it was literally moving around beeping and binging messages to me, constantly.
It is like having the best instrument in all the Universe...and you live in it.
Once you are aware that the body talks to you constantly, you can't be unaware.
To stand by your feelings is to stand hand in hand with the Ultimate power; God/Universe.
What I see in abusive homes, is we are taught to worship a lesser god, one that disregards our feelings. Our parents.
When you honor and love your parents in an abusive home, going against the feelings of your body, you are being turned away from your Higher Power.
What is so amazing to me is that God created our bodies and yet we don't see the connection or feel the vast Divinity of them...nor trust that God made them to work perfectly.
Doubting the body, to me is, doubting God.
When someone abuses our bodies, they are actually wrecking the gift that God created.
When others treat our bodies violently, we are taught to not feel like the gift we are.
It takes lots of effort to restore our selves to our natural state.
My life changed completely when I stopped honoring my parents and began to honor my body...it truly has never lied.
