Cellular Consciousness
Clearing Cellular Residue
From Wilhelm Reich to William Emerson, body-mind therapists over the last two centuries have recognized the body as a store-house of impressions. Emotional and physical traumas leave an imprint on the cells' memory, which I have termed cellular residue. This often shows up as chronic muscle tensions, constricting life patterns, addictions to substances or dystonic behaviors or relationships, or simply the feeling of not living up to one's creative potential. Since the body's primary programming is for survival, it 'learns' through experience what is safe and not safe and self-limits itself in order to avoid too much vulnerability or openness which it perceives could be life-threatening. This learning process is primarily not at a conscious level and a great deal of it is formed in the womb and early childhood as the body's nervous system is still being formed and habitual impulse pathways mapped out. Thus the body creates a self-protective defense system that operates at an automatic reflex level until consciously connected with and asked to change. Most adults are not conscious of their body's programming and thus many of their behaviors seem to be beyond their control or choice.
For a creative fulfilling life one needs to update one's operating systems ~ much like with computers. All manner of body-mind therapies and experiential educational classes exist today and report various levels of success in bringing conscious awareness and choice into the body-mind dynamic. Fortunately the body's survival also depends on adaptation, thus I've found with clients and myself that the body is actually full of goodwill when it recognizes that a change is in its greater self-interest for survival and life enhancement. It is largely a matter of bringing conscious awareness into the specific body sites where trauma or old and no-longer-useful patterns are anchored. The breath is used as a conduit for connecting the conscious mind into specific body parts and the feelings, thoughts, images, and information that are stored there. As this material is seen, felt, and worked with the stagnant held energy releases into dynamic flow and the cellular site is willing and able to recognize new information and respond positively. Sometimes the body also has specific demands about how it is willing to emotionally/physically heal. Sometimes the body simply wants an experience to be consciously integrated into one's totality. Tapping into the body's wisdom is one of the key elements that I do with clients.
My Work
People have sessions with me for a variety of reasons:
Every session brings definitive progress, new insights, and resolutions. (See Clients' Experiences) Challenging physical or psychological situations require more than one session. How many sessions depends on many factors: how much trauma was experienced in the womb, birth and childhood; how committed an individual is to change; how self-honest a client can be with oneself and the therapist, what goals or intentions the client is holding, and the resonance between the therapist, the therapeutic approach, and the client.
I continue to be deeply pleased and honored to be part of so many people's healing-evolution process. I have watched all kinds of ailments disappear as clients work with me to clear cellular residue. Clients also learn how to apply principles from our sessions on their own, gaining an overall increased sense of well-being, spiritual self attunement, enthusiasm and clarity for life and projects.
Pure Cellular Consciousness
Most people have had some experiences of pure cellular consciousness. This is what athletes commonly call "being in the zone". It is a heightened state of awareness in which one's attention is in the present moment, the mind is quiet, the emotions unencumbered, and one experiences one's body in a perfect flow of precision or oneness with the environment. A good example is skiing. One experiences pure cellular consciousness when one's awareness is an ecstasy of rthym and movement, one has the sense of being able to feel the texture of the snow even through one's boots and skies, one feels a seamless connection with the air and mountain. One's experience is being the flow. In discussion with other therapists, we have theorized that when an individual, even temporarily, moves beyond the affects of the body's defense mechanisms one enters the awareness of being in "the zone" or "The Field". (Lynne McTaggart's book The Field is highly recommended reading.)
At these moments one feels free from the cellular residue. In fact the pure cellular consciousness is a state of joy. This inherent joy is palatable in all living things. In the moments when I've 'seen' the pure cellular consciousness, the cells look like materialized light and joy is inherent. Thus it seems that the Satchitananda experienced by so many yogis at the height of consciousness (often in trance or out-of-the body experiences) is also the energetic template for physical life and can be experienced consciously in the body.
My personal experience and that reported to me by clients, is that consciously clearing cellular residue greatly increases the frequency and duration with which one can find and live in the "zone" or "field" awareness.
Accelerated Physical-Spiritual Evolution
History
A quick Google search confirms that there are thousands of groups and individuals around the world declaring that a new level of consciousness is now operating on earth and we have begun a new phase of physical-energetic evolution. In fact between 1910-1950 Sri Aurobindo premiered this concept and described some of the features of what he termed the Supramental consciousness in his seminal work The Life Divine. During the last years of his life Sri Aurobindo was actively bringing this 'golden' light-power into his body for a physical enlightenment and Divine transmutation. He also endeavored to anchor this extraordinary consciousness-force for the entire morphogenetic field of the earth. For profound spiritual-physical reasons he found it necessary to pass his physical realization into The Mother's body in 1950 and to work from subtle physical realms to hasten the event of a next stage of evolution for the entire earth. The Mother, born as Mirra Alfassa, was Sri Aurobindo's collaborator and dynamic head of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in India from 1926-1973. On
February 29, 1956,
The Mother, in one of the most remarkable experiences in recorded history, was able to release the Supramental golden consciousness-force into the morphogenetic field of the earth in a permanent way. The Mother soon observed that there were elements in the world and within people's bodies that responded favorably to this new energy frequency and there were elements within and without that resisted or tried to block the Supramental influence. The Mother attributed the radical awakening of the 60's directly to the Supramental energetic penetration. A condensed version of The Mother's experiences in physical transmutation between 1964–1973, can be found in the book Notes on the Way.
(See Biography for my personal connection with The Mother.)
Integrating High Energy and Supranormal Experiences
Throughout the world more and more people are noticing that the 'veils between the worlds are thinning'. Since the 1960's the rise in psychic readers and spiritual healers is phenomenal. Many people come to me after a sudden opening of a chakra- usually the 7th, 6th, or 4th. Profound spiritual experiences and/or extraordinary 'downloads of energy' are usually welcomed but can also pose unique challenges in integrating with one's physical body and ordinary life. Helping people energetically adapt is one of my specialties. But I also find that many people do not have a sufficient overview to what is happening in this evolutionary moment. Many of my clients have expressed great relief when I explain how this intensified time is affecting our perceptions and bodies. I have also developed effective skills in dealing with Overwhelm and what is referred to these days as Transformational Illnesses
or Ascension Symptoms.
