There is a misunderstanding in the world that the body is of little consequence to the spirit much as a roadside hotel is to a traveler. In fact, the body is contained within the spirit and not the other way around. It may be said that your body is a direct reflection of your consciousness.

The Body as Biofeedback Device

As a reflection of your spirit, your body is a biofeedback device – in other words, a way for thoughts to find their way into the physical realm where they can be directly experienced. These hands-on encounters with the children of your thoughts are opportunities to bring your conscious mind into spiritual alignment.

If the body manifests a disease, this is an indication that the thoughts playing on the screen of the mind are not spiritually aligned. This is not a judgment, only a mechanism for gaining awareness of the spiritual laws that exist in the universe so each person can come into harmony with these laws.

When confronted with illness, many seek relief from the discomfort that has been created. It’s natural to avoid discomfort, but before you seek to eradicate the symptoms, listen to the messages they’re bringing you. Distill as much information from them as you can. By learning to perceive symptoms at more subtle levels and "reading" their meaning, you gain awareness of the understandings you were seeking by creating the symptoms in the first place. Once you see the bigger picture of an illness, you can address it at all levels in a holistic way -- mind, body and spirit. This is the way to create permanent healing.

If an understanding were gained upon the first manifestation of an illness, there would be no need for further healing of it. This is how the body's biofeedback system is intended to work. When a person seeks to avoid the causes of their illness by rushing to the nearest healer to enact a cure, they often fail to get at the root cause. This guarantees the energy of the illness will return. Over time, the energy of the illness will become stronger as the body grows weaker and less able to replicate itself. This is when rapid aging and physical death occurs.

"Reading" the Energy of an Illness

The way to turn this around is to "read" every physical manifestation and understand its meaning. Once you establish a dialog with your creations, you are able to learn their meaning. In this way, you are able to fine-tune the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitudes that are the recipes for your creations. As in food preparation, if you find the taste of your food to be "off," you comb through the list of ingredients until you identify the source of the "off" note and correct it.

Reading the energy of your physical creations is a matter of looking at the affected part of the body and its purpose. If a person manifests diabetes, for example, this has to do with the pancreas, which is linked with regulating blood sugars. Sugar is "sweetness," which symbolically reveals a person's experience of sweetness and joy. Aside from whatever course of healing is needed, the person diagnosed with diabetes would do well to also examine issues of sweetness and joy in their life. They might look at what gives them joy and find more ways to create these feelings. By setting an intention and following up with the necessary actions, it is possible to create more "sweetness" in life experiences.

The feet are yet another "easy read." Symbolically, your feet are your spiritual foundation. In the physical life, they are the body's foundation. As above, so below is a truth to remember when interpreting the symbolic meaning of a disease. In the case of feet, those who have studied reflexology know parts of the feet are intricately connected to other parts of the body. In the same way, your spiritual foundation is linked to every part of your life experience, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

By opening to the messages of an illness, you are able to review the recipes of all your physical creations and read the energy of their symbolic meanings. Once a symbol is grasped and understood, you have in effect signed off on the "receipt confirmation" form, and the universe's etheric postal service will halt its attempts to bring this particular package of physical illness to your door.
