Energy heals on all levels. When this healing process is taking place, blockages are removed, energy flows smoothly.
We are all unique. So what might be true for one's experience may not be the norm for someone else. Some may not even experience healing symptoms at all. This is in no way an indication that something is being healed or not. Some are just more sensitive to the shifts in energy than others and it will also depend greatly on what energy distortions are being healed. So do not compare your experiences to others.
Here are some of the things you may or may not experience.
The healing crisis is nature’s way. It is the body itself that has the make-up and the materials that produce a crisis. It requires energy to have a crisis. It takes a reserve to go through a healing crisis, and the body will not produce it, unless it is able to go through with it.
We cannot put a new foundation in the body without first cleansing the body, a process not always comfortable. Clean-up reactions are adjustments by the body to keep itself whole and functioning. If there is a pile-up of waste matter, the immune system may decide it’s time to clean up.
It then provokes, say, a cold, or some other mucous discharge to flush out the obstruction, calling in an army of bacteria to help dispose of the stuff.
During a healing crisis, a great deal of toxins may be pulled out of body tissues and put back into the circulation in order to be eliminated. During this process, some uncomfortable symptoms may occur, such as:
· general fatigue
pains and aches, such as headaches, low back pain, joint pain, etc.
skin discharges, unusual sweating and body odours
frequent urination, diarrhoea or constipation
fever, or feeling of coldness
temporary cessation of menstruation, or decrease in sexual desire
mental irritability, restless dreams, etc.
The healing crisis may last from a few hours to a few days; only in rare cases will it last a few weeks. The healthier our general condition, the fewer symptoms there will be. The more the body has to clean up, the stronger and/or the longer will be the discharge reactions.
They will also be more pronounced if the change in diet is abrupt, less so if it is gradual. During the healing process, the body brings back old diseases in reverse order, especially if these diseases have been suppressed through medication. It is like a movie seen backwards. However, the eliminative processes bring back old troubles in such a way that it inspires one to live an entirely different life, so that we are finished with the old way of living.
The healing crisis differs from the disease process in that it is a blessing and not a curse to the body. Though the manifestations may be similar, a healing crisis is brought about through an accumulation of health in the body, and the active healing power carries the person through.
A healing crisis comes right after the person is feeling his best, usually following a positive change in lifestyle, such as a better diet, a high-quality food supplement, a fast or detoxification cure, giving up smoking, alcohol or drugs, a new exercise program such as yoga, or a new spiritual discipline such as meditation. There is a feeling of well-being at the core during the healing crisis; that is, deep down inside, it feels O.K., while a sickness feels like something is definitely wrong.
The average person may develop a healing crisis within three months, but sometimes it does not come until after a year. A younger person will have the crisis much more quickly than those of advanced years. One crisis is not always enough for a complete healing. It takes 90 to 120 days to renew all the red blood cells. After about 3 or 4 months, the healing process shifts deeper. It begins to pull debris out of the inter-cellular spaces, and very often a new manifestation of discharge symptoms show up at that time. After the initial 3 - 4 month period, there may be a few more discharges, on and off, for the following 6 to 12 months.
Each healing crisis is followed by increased vitality and a greater feeling of well-being.
