Life is a Mirror

A girlfriend Skyped me this morning. She recently moved back from London, has already changed states, has been through a bunch of short-lived jobs, and on Thursday was frog-marched out of her latest boring admin position. She is lost, directionless, and has no idea what to do. “And to top it all off,” she said, “My knees are killing me. I think I have arthritis. I’m off to get some herbal drugs.” I raised my eyebrows and responded, “Um, hel-LO… do you know what legs and knees symbolize? Your direction in life!” She was stunned. But it makes sense, doesn’t it?

Last week, another friend was in the middle of a conversation when her nose started bleeding. Just like that! How bizarre! Whose nose starts bleeding during a conversation?! I went home and found my bible – The Body is the Barometer of the Soul So Be Your Own Doctor by Annette Noontil – and emailed her what nose bleeds mean: “Bursting a blood vessel! Not satisfied with self, so pushing yourself too hard to show that you are able to do things as well as others.” The idea that everything that goes wrong with your body is directly linked to an emotion was explored a few decades ago by Louise Hay. In You Can Heal Your Life , Hay outlined a bunch of common and rare ailments and gave their corresponding emotions. Thus, mouth ulcers mean “Stagnating, and keeping the habit too long, frustrated that you are not outflowing better than you are, when you cannot say how you feel”, while breast cancer indicates “not nurturing yourself; doing for others before you”.

In our holographic universe where everything is intricately connected and it’s all just a big pot of vibrating energy, everything that is felt in your head / heart is automatically projected out into the reality around you. Thus, life mirrors back what’s going on deep inside you. And the stuff that you push deep down, suppressing for years and years? Well, the energy of those thoughts and feelings has to exist somewhere — so we hold them in our livers, our stomachs, our breasts etc, in the form of cancers, abcesses, tumors and other strange growths. This is why instant healings (aka spontaneous remissions, or medical miracles) have been known to occur: when a person is able to release a major emotional blockage they’ve been carrying for years — or lifetimes — incredible energetic changes take place as peace and freedom returns.

And don’t think that what’s going on in your head is limited to the physical symptoms your body is experiencing: if you drop a glass, see a white owl, run out of petrol, get fired or stub your toe, that’s all a reflection of what’s going on inside you, too. In fact, Noontil’s book contains a fascinating section showing how what’s wrong with your car has a direct correlation with your life! (A flat right front tyre = a fear has stopped you being in charge of your physical direction; forgetting where your car is parked = not able to find your [life] direction).

The message here? You’re not a victim who ‘gets sick’ because of forces out of your control. Stuff doesn’t just ‘happen to you’. You are responsible for the thoughts in your head, and thus the energy you project all around you. You are in control. If life seems to be hitting you hard, what is resisting or conflicting inside you? Focus on that, and true change and healing will begin.
