Hello and welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. This is Dr. Paula Apro continuing my journey into healing the soul. In past episodes, I introduced you to the concept of Downward Causation and I explained how both illnesses and healing can "trickle down" from the higher bodies of consciousness down to the physical body. I'm not sure if that really sunk in so today I would like to share almost the same concept but in a different way.
Like I mentioned previously, this Downward Causation theory was really an integral foundation of my studies in Quantum medicine. I definitely had a firm grasp on it and I knew that my practice would be solidly grounded in it. But, when I heard almost the same information presented by a different medical doctor and spiritual leader/healer that's when I really had an ah-ha moment that stopped me in my tracks. Suddenly everything got more clear.
I hope I can wipe your lens a little more this week and help you to understand what I consider to be the most important lesson of my lifetime which comes from the ancient teachings of Tao science.
I have always considered energy as the single most important significant determiner of a person’s health because after all, energy moves and dictates matter. But here's a little secret that took me nearly a decade to uncover. There is something that proceeds and controls the energy. When I discovered this, well my entire worldview changed.
Buckle up for some information that hopefully rocks your world too . . . What I’m about to share with you is the “Universal Law of Tao Science” and it’s called Shen, Qi, Jing. I learned this from a medical doctor and spiritual leader/healer named Master Sha. Master Sha has created his own form of healing called Tao Healing Hands and I went ahead and became certified in this form of healing (to add to my crazy list of credentials and certifications).
So what is Shen, Qi, Jing?
Let’s start backwards and learn what “Jing” is. This is the easiest element to understand because Jing is matter. It’s all the things in this world that you perceive as physical, like for instance, your body.
Qi is also going to be easy to understand because by now you’re all in the know about energy and its role in the universe. Qi = energy. It is what controls the physical world. When you hear the word “energy” what probably comes to your mind are all the various energy sources that allow the world to move about, heat air, and run equipment etc. We all need energy to “get things done.”
And then comes Shen. This might be the most challenging part of this equation to understand. For starters, it’s not just one thing. Shen is actually made up of three parts: the soul, the mind, and the heart.
As you can see, we are moving away from the mechanical view of the world and now entering the more esoteric part. This is truly the merging of science and spirituality. There have always been two camps: the scientists and the church and neither one wanted to listen to or accept the others’ views.
But it’s not until you bring them together can you truly understand the universe and your human body. After all, your human body is made of the same matter as the universe.
Getting back to Shen . . . When we think of the mind we often think of the brain, but it’s so much more than the brain. The brain is the materialistic view of the organ that sends the signals to all your body parts and systems. But the mind includes all of your past memories, your beliefs, the early childhood programming, your perceptions, etc. It is through the mind that you perceive either a beautiful world or a hell hole.
Just the way the mind has a physical and non-physical aspect so too does the heart. Yes, it’s a pump that transports the blood around your body, but it’s also so much more. It’s the electrical center of your body and it stores your emotional energy.
Now we enter even trickier waters and try to wrap our heads around the concept of soul. We don’t need to get into a religious debate because as far as Tao science is concerned the soul is just INFORMATION. It is a collection of the information that you came into this world with and all the experiences you have had in your current lifetime.
When I say, “the information you came here with” I mean you carry the energetic imprint of your entire ancestral lineage. All the shocks, traumas, good deeds, bad deeds, etc. of your ancestors are encoded in your “soul” or information. I guess you can say this is the “cards you were dealt.”
Some of us come from a lineage of happy, healthy, good-hearted people that did good deeds while others of us come from a lineage of unhealthy, unhappy people that harmed others. No fault of our own, but we must deal with the deeds of our ancestors, like it or not. Many of you have heard the concept of Karma and this is where it comes from. We come into this world with this kind of information pre-loaded.
I may be losing you here, but please stay with me. I realize this may be outside of your religious beliefs or worldview and if it is, this is a great example of how the mind (the core beliefs and programs that were installed by your parents) influence how you see the world and what you are willing to accept and not accept. Please bear with me just a little longer.
Now we have a whole lot of information, plus all of our emotions, plus all of our beliefs that make up Shen. There is a hierarchal order to how this information flows through our beings. First, we are born into this lifetime with a certain amount of information. Some of us have more positive than negative and others of us start off with more negative than positive information. Then we are bombarded every second of the day receiving new information from endless sources.
This information is just passed along to our hearts. The heart’s only job is to receive it and feel it. The heart does not assign any meaning to the information and doesn’t label anything as positive or negative.
The heart simply passes this information over to the mind and this is where the trouble starts. The mind will process it and assign meaning to it. If the heart felt negatively, then the mind will assign a negative meaning to that information. And of course, it will do the opposite if the heart felt positive feelings. Once the mind “makes up its mind” you are now stuck in a pattern where black is black and white is white and good luck to anybody that tries to convince you otherwise.
The illustrations included in the show notes will help you understand this flow.
All of this information gets passed along to Qi, which is the energy that is going to make things happen. This pure information gets distorted by the mind before it gives the commands to the energy.
You can also think of the “mind” stage as the filter by which you see the world. Are you looking through rose-colored glasses? Is your cup always half full or half empty? If your information is getting too distorted by your emotional states predominately feeling negatively and/or your childhood programming and beliefs, you are instructing your energy to create things that you probably don’t want.
This is because that Qi or energy is going to drive and affect matter, ie, your body. The more positive information in your soul, heart, and mind, the more health and happiness you will create.
The more negative information, the more challenges you will experience in this lifetime.
This “greatest lesson of my lifetime” led me to the “greatest question of my lifetime.”
Is it possible to change our information????
Stay tuned for the answer to that all-important question coming up next week.
