The Healing Crisis

Evolution is not always gradual and gentle, but usually consists of sudden transformations occurring in times of crisis. When a person undergoes a great transformation, there can also be a kind of crisis, as the body, mind and personality are all been rearranged. As the body cleanses itself, toxins can be released from every orifice. They can be a runny nose, a cough, nausea or diarrhoea. There can often be a fever which lasts a short time. It is important not to suppress these symptoms as they are part of a healing process. The things that got you into the healing crisis will get you through it quickly. This means the pure foods that raise your vibration. Muscle testing does not work during a healing crisis, as they test what takes you towards balance. During the healing crisis, anything that raises your vibration will take you further away from your previous level of balance and will therefore test week. Anything that lowers your vibration will take you back down towards that balance and will therefore test strong. A common mistake is to rush to your kinesiologist when you feel out of balance, and when he tests all your natural foods they test week, so he assumes you’re allergic to them all. When he tests all his synthetic supplements, which lower your vibration, they test strong, and so he suggests you take them all. Your vibration is lowered back to your previous level, so you feel better but no breakthrough is made.

There is also an emotional healing crisis as all past suppressed emotions come back up to the surface. It is important to welcome these feelings and then they will soon pass. The reason people may resist here is that the ego resists any big change. To stop this from happening we need to learn to recognise the egos language. The ego always blames, denies or justifies. If you are doing that you are in ego. It is also useful to recognise at which stage the egos development got stuck. The infantile ego sees the world as a dangerous place, and is concerned with getting enough. The adolescent ego is concerned with being good enough. The young adult stage of ego is concerned with learning or growing fast enough. The fully matured ego says “I am enough”. As we begin to heal our ego, it matures through these stages. You can work on healing your ego by first recognising how it works and then giving it to your higher self to be healed and matured in meditation. Assess your ego by looking at what makes you feel better than others, what things do you blame, deny or justify, and how you relate to the world. With a matured ego, you no longer resist change, and the healing crisis goes quickly and smoothly.
