I had a similar experience with my spine. I had scoliosis for many years and started at age 23 to actively work on it with relaxation and visualization techniques. This was after Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book landed in my hands as a birthday gift and inspired me to try something entirely new. I would lay in my bed and relax my spine and imagine that it becomes entirely straight. What I would feel the most was my lower back where I sensed a strong “burning” feeling as if there was a lot of energy blocked. Later, when I started to study chakras and the so called Kundalini energy, I realized that what I felt was this particular life energy being locked in my lower chakras. After directing my attention to this location on my spine for a few weeks and mentally sending intentions of a straight spine, I woke up at some point during the night to a completely unusual and surprising sensation in my back.
I was almost catapulted out of my bed so strong was the energy push that rushed up my lower back all the way to my head. It was obvious to me that something major had happened. In the morning I jumped out of bed with a clearly straightened spine and a vibrating lightness. This was only possible because I had set a clear intention, believed in the change and focused my entire attention on visualising the positive result. I was willing to be transformed and open. I was willing to liberate a part of me so that I could become the person I was intended to be, with the straight spine I deserved.
Now, this technique can be applied to any health issue as an additional exercise to traditional medical treatments. Way too many people after getting diagnosed with whatever disease remain scared and frozen by fear, they hear horrifying predictions about their health conditions by doctors and often therefore symptoms strongly increase and worsen after a diagnosis. When someone tells you “with your diagnosis you should be long in a wheelchair by now” or “usually you should only have 4 weeks to live” – what do such statements do to a person emotionally and physically in your opinion? Healing starts when people refuse to buy into narratives of what will happen but focus on a positive, self loving and constructive version of what should ideally happen. Is it a guarantee that you will defy your illness? No, but it gives you a much higher chance of defying it when you believe in your possibility to govern your body with your mind rather than being governed by the outside.
