Whether we are engaged in healing as a vocation to support others or are seeking healing in our own lives, the exploration of the cells and the wisdom they offer is profound. Regardless of what modality we use to help our bodies, this much is true - transformation must occur at the cellular level for lasting change to be evident.

The cells, as the building blocks of our bodies, dictate not only how fluids and toxins move through the system, but also how energy is held and shared. Patterns of holding, or constrictions, impact directly on where flow, or the movement of energy, can go. These constrictions arise at the level of the cells, whether the stimulus or reason for the constriction is emotional, mental or physical. The cells are the intermediaries between all the levels of consciousness, including spiritual. Our cells are the templates for who we are and what we are here to offer to the world. They hold within their boundaries the genetic makeup of our bodies as well as the history of what we have experienced here and in other lives. Singularly, they hold the key to living a life of balance, one that is rich and supportive of being present in the world in a state of grace.

Cells will choose balance over chaos and peace over excitement. They strive to exist in a state of balance in each exchange that occurs. Cells interact from a state of non-competition, cooperation and awareness that there is a greater mission than their individual contribution. Oneness, the state of being where there is no separation, is understood by the cells.

As we explore healing, we have access to all of this innate wisdom that lies within the very matter of our own physical bodies. We may touch this place when in silence or during times of fear. If we learn to listen to the cells themselves, we can access the very wisdom that is needed for healing to occur.

In our quest for wholeness, we may be focusing on the task of getting rid of symptoms. We may have lost sight of the fact that the symptoms themselves are often there to get our attention. They are calling our aware-ness deep within, to the place of imbalance. A nagging pain in the back can signify that attention has not been paid to the body in ways that support balance and health. It can also mean that we haven’t created space in our lives for our own essence to be fully present.

When we shift our attention to the larger system, our bodies, we may see that these symptoms are calling our awareness inward. We may, if we pause long enough, hear the wisdom of the very cells themselves, offering us insight into what is needed. Imbalance requires a soft awareness and gentle approach to begin to create an environment that is conducive to the return of balance. How we listen, how we respond is as significant as what we do trying to eradicate symptoms. Being present to the issues at hand, whatever they may be beneath the surface of the skin, allows us to explore what is truly needed for balance to return. Often, when balance is present, health returns as well.

Consciousness provides the key to what is needed. The cells house the consciousness of our bodies, our environment, our history and our purpose. Joining them in this exploration creates the opportunity to learn about ourselves in a profound way as we return to health and balance.
