“ The Life is in the Communication”
wHILE HEALTH IS OUR MOST important physical possession, communication is just as essential to the quality of our lives. Even love is a form of communication, and we are social beings first and foremost, unable to live completely on our own.
Having recently read the book‘ Doctors Are More Harmful Than Germs’ by Dr. Harvey Bigelsen, I was struck by how communication functions in the same way as our bodies. The analogies are almost endless, as life is holographic and the patterns are seen everywhere.
As Dr. Bigelsen points out, the key to health is flow, both on a biological and energetic level. Our bodies are constantly moving in oxygen and nutrients, and moving out toxins, waste, and dead tissue. Communication works in the same way.
We share uplifting and encouraging moments to bring life and joy to others, and also work through painful and difficult situations to remove impediments to happiness.
Just the day to day " housekeeping " requires constant communication.
Health deteriorates when the flow is interrupted. Stress causes the walls of our cells to shut down, leading ultimately to disease. We also tend to " shut down " and stop communicating in stressful situations. These can lead to toxic misunderstandings which only make things worse.
One of the biggest causes of disease is the buildup of scar tissue, both from unavoidable accidents as well as from surgical procedures. Scar tissue is effectively a " road block " that cuts off the natural flows and allows pools of toxins to build up. This results in inflammation, a natural process designed to protect the healthy tissue from toxins. But when the toxins can ' t move, it becomes chronic.
Can you think of an analog to inflammation in the realm of communication? Like maybe anger? Anger is a natural and necessary emotion in certain circumstances, but we ' re all too familiar with chronic anger. Most of us have experienced it in ourselves and others at times. Isn ' t anger also being used to protect " raw nerves " or some other seeming vulnerability that we aren ' t ready to have exposed?
