STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

 

Another benefit of this practice in the physical realm is a great

strengthening of the immune system, which occurs when you inhabit

the body. The more consciousness you bring into the body, the

stronger the immune system, becomes. It is as if every cell awakens

and rejoices. The body loves your attention. It is also a potent form of

self-healing. Most illnesses creep in when you are not present in the

body. If the master is not present in the house, all kinds of shady

characters will take up residence there. When you inhabit your body,

it will be hard for unwanted guests to enter.

It is not only your physical immune system that becomes

strengthened; your psychic immune system is greatly enhanced as

well. The latter protects you from the negative mental-emotional

force fields of others, which are highly contagious. Inhabiting the body

protects you not by putting up a shield, but by raising the frequency

vibration of your total energy field, so that anything that vibrates at a

lower frequency, such as fear, anger, depression, and so on, now

exists in what is virtually a different order of reality. It doesn’t enter

your field of consciousness anymore, or if it does you don’t need to

offer any resistance to it because it passes right through you. Please

don’t just accept or reject what I am saying. Put it to the test.

There is a simple but powerful self-healing meditation that you can do

whenever you feel the need to boost your immune system. It is

particularly effective if used when you feel the first symptoms of an

illness, but it also works with illnesses that are already entrenched if

you use it at frequent intervals and with an intense focus. It will also

counteract any disruption of your energy field by some form of

negativity. However, it is not a substitute for the moment-to-moment

practice of being in the body; otherwise, its effect will only be

temporary. Here it is.

When you are unoccupied for a few minutes, and especially last thing

at night before falling asleep and first thing in the morning before

getting up, “flood” your body with consciousness. Close your eyes. Lie

flat on your back. Choose different parts of your body to focus your

attention on briefly at first: hands, feet, arms, legs, abdomen, chest,

head, and so on. Feel the life energy inside those parts as intensely as

you can. Stay with each part for fifteen seconds or so. Then let your

attention run through the body like a wave a few times, from feet to

head and back again. This need only take a minute or so. After that,

feel the inner body in its totality, as a single field of energy. Hold that

feeling for a few minutes. Be intensely present during that time,

present in every cell of your body. Don’t be concerned if the mind

occasionally succeeds in drawing your attention out of the body and

you lose yourself in some thought. As soon as you notice that this has

happened, just return your attention to the inner body.
