Attention Healing!

(relieves intermittent pain & reoccurring discomfort)

     Attention Healing is a process of witnessing your pain disappear as you practice
appreciating the bodies intended design. The technique is simple, it works, can be done at your
own schedule, requires no medication, no therapy, no diet and definitely you won’t need to
replace body parts.
 
      I developed this technique after observing my friends who had more health issues than
myself. As well, I also needed a cure for those small discomforts that show up far too often and
for no apparent reason. As a young adult, I adopted the logic of refusing to let pain prevent me
from being active. When a sport injury occurred, I made a deal with my body, forcing it, to get
me through the game while promising to attend to it later. Immediately the discomfort would
lessen and as a remainder of our deal it would return when the game was over.

     This is where I began my efforts to pin point the precise attribute that was helping me
experience less pain and heal faster than others. It took two full years of trial and error
elimination to satisfy my curiosity. There were repeat experiments in tracking the influence of
foods, observing the effects of changing weather conditions, being attentive to season, lunar
and astrology patterns, remaining sensitive to my state of being, and simple wondering if it was
a mere natural cycle. Those two years were a steady process of trial and error, eliminating the
not so obvious and in 2011, I had it narrowed down to one possibility.

     As the sun rose on that clear morning in June, I set off walking toward a road bridge that
crosses the Ottawa River connecting two Canadian provinces, Quebec to Ontario. The intent
was to start my test when I reached the bridge and for the pain to be gone when I stepped onto
the opposite side. To my absolute delight, within that 10 minutes walk, my pain had miraculously
left, except now the mystery was no more. During the months that followed, I actually looked
forward to having pain so I could practice my technique and within months the healing time
narrowed to one minute and eventually it disappeared as quick as the thought occurred. Having
lived this method for more than a year, I seldom experience more than slight discomforts, so I
suspect that attention healing is having longer term positive affects as well.

     Attention Healing works on the principles that; pain is a language to be understood, and
through appreciating the design of the body, we instinctual transform disharmony to harmony.
The process is painless, adventurous, simple and the opportunity is yours to explore if you
choose.

The Language of the Body:

     Pain can be compared to a language, where one part of our body is communicating with
another, in this case, the body is communicating with you. The message is simple, ‘things are
not functioning at they should and you need to do something about it’

     Slight pain is often caused by simple discomforts such as; an uncomfortable chair, or
having a stone in your shoe. Reoccurring pain can be compared to a dripping tap where we
know that it is only going to get worse. Similarly the body is giving us a heads-up on a problem
that will only get worse if not fixed. Steady pain is debilitating and one can imagine the body
saying, ‘Well, we warned you that there was a problem, but you misunderstood the message,
and took the incorrect action or did nothing’.

     That cycle can end right now by re-looking at what the body is attempting to
communicate and how to gain an understanding of the remedy.

Generally we have two of everything, with exceptions to the centre line of our body, like
the spine, the tongue, everything else comes in pairs. When pain strikes, it most often affects
one part, while the other remains healthy. It is with this information that our healing technique is
built upon.

      Presently though, our common approach to pain goes like this: First, comes the moans
and gowns to ourselves, then we reluctantly tell a friend about the terrible sleep we had, or how
we were unable to jog because of a kink in our knee. The listener will anxiously share their
problem, and suddenly you have a group chat happening around the coffee machine until
someone speaks about their grandmother who died from a similar problem.

      It gets worse when we begin researching how others are dealing with the same
symptoms and more importantly, we wonder if it’s going to be with us for ever. Eventually we
find ourselves at the Doctor’s office and then a specialist to determine the cause, the
seriousness and the plan of action. In the end, we are given a name for it, and at that moment,
we own the belief of how it will play out in our life. Our options are to either rearrange our
lifestyle to include the discomfort, or gamble on an operation.

      This is how, most of us, choose to understand the language of the body, and like a
young upset baby trying to communicate to its’ parent, the child will scream until heard. So it is
with pain but we can begin listening to our body and put an end to this pattern. We are going to
rethink this process and focus on the healthy parts for clues in understanding the language of
the body. The process is called, ‘Appreciating the Design’

Appreciating the Design:

My observations of Nature, tell me that all living things strive to be at their individual
perfection with the local growing conditions determining the outcome. So it is with us, our
immediate environment, determines what to overcome while providing a bounty of opportunity
for healthy growth. The modern human has traded an awareness of their place in their
surroundings with external distractions. This has lead to the disconnect from the natural ability
to understand the language of their body.

     Disharmony is real in all aspects of life including; the organic world, including mechanical
mechanisms or electrical equipment. The various parts of any system, either works in harmony
with each other or other parts compensate for the disharmony, which leads to early failure of the
entire system.

     Being unconscious of potential health problems doesn’t mean that your organs, or your
muscles, or your nervous system are unaware. Their awareness causes them to automatically
compensate to keep our bodily systems functioning. We forget that every part is alive and is
carrying out many tasks on our benefit. Their only means of conveying trouble signals to us
consciousness is to shock us with discomfort. To mask such signals with drugs is not the
solution and future generations will certainly considered our present cations to be an insult to
human intelligence. But, in the present we can begin the change toward bringing Harmony back
into our body so it can function as the design was intended.

     It is through marvelling at the complexity of our design, for example: how muscles
contract and expand, how the joints move in a variety of directions and how they function in fluid
motion to our every demand. The depth of appreciation for this cooperation that is constantly
occurring on our behalf, that creates a connection between our consciousness and our body
and brings about the healing.

The Healing:

     On a scientific / spiritually level, appreciative focus creates conscious connection with
the part of the body of choice. Appreciation, of its’ beauty and perfection of its’ design, magnifies
the frequency of it’s own perfection giving the damaged part more to healing power. That
increase in frequency of energy is what disharmony needs to bring itself back inline with its’ own
design. It is through your appreciation that brings unhealthy inline with healthy and the energy
aligns itself back into perfection. You are creating your own antidote for the problem. All of
nature has the ability to heal itself and it does so through creating antidotes to ward invasions
that could prevent it from being at it’s best. Resisting external distractions that cause us to loose
this restructuring ability for maintaining ourself at our best can bring us back in tone with the
language of the body.

     The healing process becomes a 3 way connection between consciousness, beauty and
disharmony, that can result in a balance throughout our body. This is the fundamental principle
behind Attention Healing. All you need is to switch your focus from the part of your body that is
in pain to the part that is functioning beautifully, and familiarize yourself on how those part feel
when they function. It takes only a few minutes and you will notice the pain slowly diminish.
Repeating the exercise speeds up the healing process. Permeant healing will automatically
result as you perfect the technique.
