Is good health the opposite of illness? A lot of people believe this, but it couldn’t be further from the truth…
Instead, many believe in a very conventional (and unhealthy) mindset that illness is something to be eradicated at all costs without a whole lot of thinking about it.
I came around to a better way of looking at illness a long time ago, thanks to the work of Margaret Newman and her book, Health as Expanding Consciousness. In her work as a holistic nurse, she witnessed countless examples of how illness was as much of a gift as a challenge to patients.
Her view was that working with an illness consciously helped patients make an important shift to become more conscious about their health challenges, solve them, then become living examples for others.
I talked to Dr. Robert Gilbert about this very subject recently on Living 4D and he shared some great insights about the many ways illness can be reflections of things going on deep inside us that bubble up to the consciousness where they can be addressed.
If you’re dealing with poor health or know someone who is, I hope you’ll check out the wisdom shared by Dr. Robert Gilbert in this week’s blog/vlog.
Love and chi,
Paul
