The physical body and the physical plane are the slowest rates of vibration of matter and energy and spirit.
Spirit gathers energy and forms matter in order to manifest on the physical plane.
Everything is slowed down on the physical plane compared to the speed/vibration rate of matter, energy and spirit on the inner planes.
That is because this physical plane is "school" for us awesome beings so we can see the results of our thoughts, our actions and our in-actions.
The body should be kept in good condition and in good health and trained to obey the orders of the mind and not just rule the mind. It is one of our tools and for our use and growth. Not just physical but spiritual growth as well.
The physical body is made up of cells and each cell contains a miniature bit of life, a tiny bit of life consciousness or mind..of a certain degree of growth and it is this life/consciousness that enables the cell to do the work it is designed to do. It is a level of consciousness within each cell and atom that enable it to grow and work.
These bits of consciousness are subordinate to the control of the central mind of man and will readily obey "orders from headquarters" given either consciously or subconsciously.
These cell intelligences are each perfectly suited for the work they are suppose to be doing.
There are many examples of this which can range from taking nourishment and minerals from the blood to build new tissues or to repair parts of the body or to replace old cells etc.
The healing of the body, the delivering of oxygen to the parts needed, are examples of the "life" within each atom and cell. Each atom is an independent thing, leading it's own independent life. These atoms combine in different combinations to form more complex organs and then again as these larger combinations to form a vehicle for yet higher consciousness...such as a body or vehicle of a plant or animal or human etc.
Our bodies are never more "alive" then after the soul departs as each atom separates and goes back into the Flow/universe/Spirit to form yet other combinations and vehicles.
The force that held the cells together is gone when the spirit departs and they are free to form other combinations.
Some will go into the earth and are taken up by other plants to form new leaves etc. Some are scattered into the air and will eventually find a place or way to combine or be taken up into the body of an animal or human or form a new plant or mineral, etc.
They are like the lego building blocks of the universe.
There is not a cell of your body that was there ten years ago. Your whole body is constantly changing..as is everything on the planet.
The "new" body of cells are not the ones you started out with.
It is the same with a plant. They take up new atoms from the soil and water etc and "grow" and when they reach the end of their cycle..the plant deva is removed/leaves the vehicle and the vehicle returns to the earth because each atom is free to go it's separate way once again.
Sometimes the plant deva only "sleeps" and stores energy for a new growth cycle in another year and then grows again.
When a plant or whatever..."dies"..what is really happening is that the atoms/prana is free to recombine into other things and the spirit is free to go to yet another vehicle and continue to grow and learn.
We are energy beings, living in/on an electrical/magnetic universe and the only thing we can count on with certainty is that.. Everything will change.
Sometimes we can think our selves "sick" or we can also think ourselves well again because the atoms will obey orders.
We can do an experiment to help us see this at work the next time we or a loved one has a headache.
We can sit still, (or have them sit still)...or lay down is also good.....place a cold compress on the neck muscles (to aid in sending the blood cells away from the area and back toward the heart and to reduce swelling which is pinching off the flow of energy......and then tell the blood cells of our body to all flow toward the feet the next time we have a headache.
Take a few moments to mentally visualize the blood flowing toward your feet. Place your consciousness on your feet and feel the blood filling them. Give the mental command to the cells of your body to relax and to be whole.
As soon as you feel you have clearly seen the blood flowing toward your feet...and have placed your consciousness on your feet...begin going back up the body and stop and give the command to each part of the body to relax and to "be whole, be well".
Keep moving slowly back up the body checking your body parts and talking to them in the mind.
After a few minutes of this......check back to see if you still have a headache.
The majority of headaches will be gone. The exceptions are when a bone is out of place and is pinching a nerve etc...or sometimes chemical imbalances..both of which will take a physical effort to rectify...but most headaches are caused by tension and these mental commands will relieve the majority..including migraines.
This was just a short examples of ways we can use the mind to help ourselves and to give mental commands to our cells.
Healers do this for people they are zapping too. They give a direct command.."Be whole" and visualize the person as whole and well. Not sick and getting better but the end result desired...whole and well.
We can do the same for ourselves in meditation. Mentally sending energy to the part that needs strengthening and healing will speed up the process.
Always remember to never give your OWN energy as there is plenty of free energy in the universe...enough to build galaxies... and we can take it into our bodies in five ways and store extra energy as well.
But that is another story.....
Here is the disclaimer.. I am not a Dr..if you suffer from headaches or are ill...see your Doctor for medical advice. Information is given only for educational purposes regarding Advanced Yoga Philisophy and is not intended to replace seeing a doctor when you are ill. :)
