How to Dialogue with Illness

How to Dialogue with Illness More Guidance Solutions

Adapted from Same Soul, Many Bodies, by Brian L. Weiss, M.D.
(Free Press, 2004). Join Dr. Weiss at the Omega Being Fearless Conference,

This fascinating exercise focuses on a symptom, mental or
physical, that you would like to understand and, by understanding, heal. Dr.
Weiss has used this exercise many times in his workshops and reports
that it helped, in many cases, to alleviate the symptom. While he does not
promise miracles, we do know that the mind-body connection exists and
this exercise is a means of maximizing that dual force.



Simple Solution:


Try the exercise here:

Pick one--and only one--symptom, mental or physical. It
could be the arthritis in your joints, your fear of heights, or your
shyness when you meet a stranger. Notice the first thoughts or feelings or
impressions that come into your mind. Do this spontaneously, without
editing; these should be your first thoughts, no matter how silly or
trivial they might seem. Get in touch with that part of your body or mind
that is troubling you. Try to make the symptom worse at first,
experiencing it as fully as you can, and observe how you did that. Then switch
places with the symptom; you are the symptom, the symptom is you. This is
so you can be most fully aware of the symptom. It knows where it is
located and how it affects the body or mind. Next, have the you that is
outside the symptom ask the symptom a series of questions.

* How have you affected my life?

* What are you going to do with my body/mind now that
you're in it?

* How have you affected my relationships?

* Do you help convey something I can't convey without you,
some message or some information?

* Do you protect me from anyone or anything?

This last is the key question, for people often use
illnesses to avoid confronting the issues that lie behind them--a form of
denial. Let's say, for example, that you are experiencing sharp pains in
your neck. This exercise will let you locate exactly who or what that
pain in the neck is--your boss, your mother-in-law, a way of holding your
head so you don't ve to look somebody directly in the eye.
