Emotional pain body
Martina Navratilova, the professional tennis player and now commentator, recently was talking about a player coming back from hip surgery. Martina said that sometimes the most difficult part of recovery is that “the body has to know that the hip is now okay.”
The body is so used to compensating for the hip injury, that it still wants to compensate (e.g., not walking fully upright, or having a limp) even though there’s no physical reason that the player shouldn’t be in perfect hip health.
“Every sickness is a tool of survival of the species.”
I heard those words in an interview, discussing Dr. Ryle Geerd Hamer. In treating cancer patients, Dr. Hamer would ask the patient what happened just before the symptoms appeared.
For instance, a boy came in with bone cancer. The boy was told that he needed amputation. Answering the question what happened just before, the boy said that during a soccer match, he totally whiffed the ball when he went to kick it. His teammates laughed at him.
The boy thought he was done for at the soccer club. So, his new physician had the soccer club managers talk to the boy. Missing the ball happens all the time, they said, and of course he can be a part of the club again.
After being reassured, the cancer went away. Think about bone cancer. Your skeletal framework deteriorates. What are you without it? A pile of skin. The boy wanted to disappear. And bone cancer was the physical manifestation of that.
Another patient had testicular cancer. What happened right before? The patient’s son had died. The product of his loins had died before him, and that’s how the body reacted.
I know I’ve had leg injuries after feeling that my life was not moving forward. I see people around me who have back and shoulder injuries when they feel they’re not supported or feel weighted down.
We live in a culture that attempts to eliminate symptoms, but not investigate why symptoms appeared in the first place. If the root cause isn’t healed, the symptoms will pop up somewhere else.
The bandage is not the healing. The true solution heals the cause – the cause that’s there before the body reacts.
