Organs
are complex structures of tissues and cells that perform
specific tasks in the organism. So far, the definition sounds clear,
but our body cannot be categorized that easily. Are hands, accordingly,
organs? Or is the immune system its own organ, even though it consists
of a variety of individual functional units?
If we go a step further, organs are, for the surgeon, literally
"tangible," for Traditional Chinese Medicine they are functional
circuits, the ancient Egyptians saw embodied gods in them, and from a
spiritual perspective, we are dealing with entities that, in their
physical manifestations, make life on this planet possible for us.
Depending on how we view our organs, our concept of healing will be
shaped accordingly. At the latest, here we come into contact with the
spiritual essence of our organs, with phenomena that we can no longer
comprehend in a mechanistic way of thinking.
How can we approach our organs? The access most frequently used is
through diseases or deficiencies. This is the main path of medicine. It
is a path that allows us to a certain extent insights into the organs.
However, for this we have to mentally dissect the organs. Inevitably,
something important is lost in the process, namely the mystery of our
body as a whole.
The path that brings us closer is the contemplative observation of our
organs, in which they support us in their functions in our life. In
doing so, we encounter true wonders, a world behind the physical
organs. Here, well-being, health, and healing await our attention.
What
means healing?
One of the biggest misunderstandings is the assumption that healing is
only about organs. Of course, the organs are our carriers of life
functions; however, with our healing impulses, we basically address
functions, and these are far more extensive in their physical,
psychological, and spiritual manifestations than organs. What sounds
like a small technicality has far-reaching consequences. A function is
not directly tangible but can only be determined indirectly.
Another misunderstanding arises from considering the difference between
health and healing. When a diseased organ is operated on, it is
surgically restored, that is, healed, while we often experience that
the actual healing process only then begins on a mental or emotional
level. Thus, a holistic approach encompasses considerably more than
physical health. In this sense, a person who is wheelchair-bound due to
an accident can be healed if they have found their purpose in life,
while we often observe that physically healthy people can spend their
entire lives searching.
It quickly becomes clear here that what we call healing and cure
depends on how we see ourselves as humans (according to Eric de Rosny),
whether we understand ourselves as physical beings that possess soulful
aspects or whether we perceive ourselves as spiritual beings that have
a body. Unfortunately, we usually only recognize the first approach as
valid. Healing goes further. If we follow the statements of famous
healers, we often encounter terms such as "wholeness," "unity," or
"love" in many forms, and above all, the love for ourselves as complete
beings.
However, this does by no means imply underestimating the blessings of
modern medicine but rather seeing healing in a synthesis of
medical-physical, mental-psychological, emotional-soulful, and
spiritual-intellectual endeavors. In this way, every health craft
becomes a healing art that is contagious.
Energy
and Information
In order for us to anchor the essences of the organs even more firmly
in our body awareness, we should provide them with a field in which
they are welcome. For this purpose, all treatments that we also use for
energetic harmonization are suitable. The ancient Chinese as well as
Indian teachings say that we swim in a sea of energies like a fish in
water. These energies are to be utilized. All cultures have found
access to this and developed treatments. We know them as acupuncture
points, meridians, chakras, or reflex zones. These are the gateways
where we interact most intensely with our surrounding energy fields and
where we can particularly well receive impulses for our inner
regulation. br>
In the West, such knowledge was indeed suppressed for many centuries as
heretical, but about 150 years ago, a development began in which we
also opened windows for these energetic treatments. Our Western energy
gateways, where there is a special connection between the inner and
outer worlds, are the reflex zones. They are our 'maps of health,' onto
which the organs project their conditions and through which we can
convey our treatment impulses inward to the organs.
The
essence of the organs
In our habitual thinking, we all too easily forget that everything in
the body is interconnected, that the same blood supplies both the tips
of the toes and the roots of the hair, and that through the autonomic
nervous system, which has a length of about ten times the circumference
of the Earth, all corners of our body are interconnected. Moreover, we
live with the idea that focusing on what is missing or disturbed is the
only way that health and healing work. However, our body does not
function like a steam engine, where we operate a valve and then what we
expect moves. We are a complex system of body and soul, in which linear
ways of thinking and simple cause-and-effect mechanisms are guaranteed
to fail, and in which such explanatory models are insufficient and
simply absurd. It is precisely here that modern medicine also reaches
its limits, as it consistently excludes the mental and spiritual
aspects of our being.
The essences of the organs invite us to change our perspective and to
experience our organs in a different way. Freed from a purely material
way of thinking, in this orientation we align ourselves with the
healing field of life. However, this is more of a holistic seeing,
feeling, perceiving, experiencing—definitely not thinking!
When we engage with the essence level of the organs, a seed begins to
germinate within us that we have neglected for far too long. As it
grows, a fundamental knowledge of the spiritual roots of the organs
unfolds within us, a consciousness that teaches us once again a feeling
awareness for our body, and, when this fully blossoms, we thus find our
very own inner life force.
If we follow this invitation of the organ beings, we enter into a
dialogue with the deep levels of our being. In doing so, we activate
the soul blueprints of the organs and, so to speak, retrieve the
"updates" of our spiritual "organ software." This way, we come to a
better appreciation of our body, and this is ultimately an essential
factor for our health.
