the Body as Deep Consciousness (Heather Eggleston)

We are each and every one of us made of the primary element, which is Light.

Light is crystallized Love.

We are living manifestations of Love.

Each of us sings a particular vibration of Love and we harmonize together within the Whole. As above, so below. As without, so within. Each of our organs, our cells, sings in harmony within the Whole of the body.

Because we are made of Love (the primary e-motion) we are active (do not nominalize Love – it is constant Creation). The process of existence is to allow this purity to flow through us without restriction and, when we find restrictions, to breathe  through them until we are free flowing again.

When we have a hit it is registered and then held in the deep consciousness of the physical body itself. This can cause restriction and twisting so we do not have to occupy the same spatial reality in which it originally occurred – thus avoiding the full registry of related emotion. This delays the actual free flow of the emotions and the freedom of the physical body itself. Postural deviations in the body and mental defense mechanisms in the mind are the results of this “freezing.”

The physical form itself, the Temple, may be considered a microcosm of a uniquely imprinted spatial emotional reality.

Last night I dreamed about consciousness. The physical form is the “deep conscious.” It records the imprint of absolutely everything that happens to us. The body does not forget. Each component of the body records a particular aspect of experience.

The bones are calcified memory. The fascial tissue and muscles wrap themselves through everything to connect, protect, and bring mobility. Together the bones and muscles are collective memory moving through space in a process of constant creation.

Our waters hold emotions. They are vessels that hold within them the fluidity of experience and the moments of our joys and sorrows. Our waters are reinforced by the emotions we continuously dream into them. Peaceful seas, stormy oceans, and stagnant swamplands exist within. Our blood, sexual juices, and all the other fluids of the body are imprinted with the emotional realities in which we exist.

The fires are our inner heat, the digestive system, the spark that fuels us. When we eat we take in Light from an external source to spark our inner Light and maintain the deep conscious and the physical experience. This is the hub of incarnations.

The heart is the connecting point to the All. We connect with the Mother and each other. Each beat of the heart drums rhythm into the rest of the deep conscious of the body.

Our breath: the mists, our songs, inhales the blessing of the Universe and passes it through our inner landscapes. The respiratory system is the great Tree within who constantly purifies and recycles each Breath.

The body doesn’t forget anything, even when the mind creates defense mechanisms to wire itself around painful events, whether a physical accident, a heartbreak, loss of faith, or existential crisis. Most painful events holistically entangle all aspects of the human being so body, mind/emotion, and spirit are all affected in some way. The intellect is very nimble and will use all manner of gymnastics (including bad habits!) to rationalize or avoid pain but the subconscious mind [which I suspect to be encoded in the tissues of the physical and etheric body(s)] records the event with precise accuracy and when certain conditions are met the original pain will resurface in some event or crisis, often illness or pain. Caroyln Myss teaches biology as biography and it is an excellent point. When we know someone’s story it is easier to see the pain encoded within the physical structure itself and that understanding may offer clues on how to facilitate healing if we stay humble and let the client’s total portrait speak. I am cautious, however, about some of the dogmatic codes that equate a particular illness or pain to a very specific “prescription”. Each person is a beautifully complicated creature and has created unique adaptation mechanisms that require a delicate unwinding process.
