About Cellular Memory/Resistance = Suffering
By Luis Diaz
The brain isn't the only place where our memories are stored. Besides our mind's memory, Cellular Memory is also available to us. This means that at the physical level of a single cell, the body records experiences that will condition the future. Physical impairment and psychological imbalance are not the only effects that we may expect, cellular memory affects the way we perform routine tasks and react to times of stress and emotional challenges in our present circumstances. If these old wounds are not healed, they can limit our freedom, and can even cause disease. Our cellular memory is a complete file of our human bio-computer. In our cells, we stored information from our genetic heritage, and all the information acquired in our individual history. Each of us has his own database. Everything that happened to us in the past is recorded in the cells. Nothing we ever experience escapes the notice of our basic organism. The conscious part of the stored information is only the visible part (Logical Mind), like the tip of an iceberg. The invisible part, the vastly bigger part is submerged deep in the water (unconscious).
Stored in the cellular memory are all the conscious and unconscious patterns of unproductive behaviors that don't allow us to feel well, healthy, happy and to attain our goals and fulfill our destiny.
Because all of these patterns are not conscious, we need a tool to access this information. A simple, safe, effective tool is needed so that we can modify in the present what was programmed in the past and build a future where choice is a reality. The tool is Accurate Muscle Testing. This biofeedback technique is used in all the modalities related to Cellular Memory Release (CMR) work.
The word "cell" derives from the Latin "cellula", meaning "small chamber", and each chamber has within it hundreds of specialized compartments called organelles sharing a common energetic bond. Because energy is information, it is accurate to say that our cells are also held together by information. The basic unit of all life, the cell, exists only because it is held together by energy. The atoms and molecules that make up a cell also exist because their various parts are held together by bonds of energy.
“It is energy that keeps a human being in one piece.” (Surgeon Sherwin Nuland). Biologist, Lynee Margulis, describes the way cells function as a type of cellular consciousness, writing that even the simplest one-celled organisms, such as protozoa and bacteria, have what he calls “a simple consciousness.” Flowers, trees, dogs, chickens, quails and humans all have cells that respond to sound and contain microtubles and other microscopic parts that may combine to constitute some form of cellular memory. As complex as they are, our cells are more space than stuff. There are 75 trillion cells in the human body. It is well known that they are tiny packages made up of energy-conducting walls with various receptors, cytoplasm full of substances that conduct the business of cellular life and a nucleus that serves as the cell's mini-brain. Every cell is also 99.999 percent empty space with sub-atomic bundles of energy whizzing through it at the speed of light. The cells in our body vary from about .0002 to .0004 inches in diameter. Although mostly space, these tiny energy-particle "wavicles" still make up two thirds of our body weight, making us literally heavy with info-energy.
Eckhart Tolle writes in The Power of Now "...inside every physical body there is far more 'nothing' than 'something'." Physicists tell us that the solidity of matter is an illusion. Even seemingly solid matter, including your physical body, is nearly 100 percent empty space—so vast are the distances between the atoms compared to their size. What is more, even inside every atom there is mostly empty space. What is left is more like a vibrational frequency than particles of solid matter, more like a musical note.”
Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., writes about cellular memory in his book entitled, The Heart's Code: "If information is carried in the energy of the heart and circulates within the cells, and if energy cannot be destroyed, whatever memories of a life experience anyone has ever had may be able to become our own individual memories. Cellular memories may be experienced as representations of universal, archetypal, infinitely shared memories that represent the collective consciousness."
"FORM is emptiness, and EMPTINESS is form" —Buddhists have known that for more than 2,500 years. "The existence of all things is EMPTINESS" states the Heart Sutra, one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts.
Resistance = suffering
The original thought that: "No, I don't want this," "I'm not ready for this," "This is too much for me," "This cannot happen to me now," occurs when we fail to recognize that our Life Force needs to flow in us like the river needs to flow into the ocean.
When our mind is producing thoughts that are resisting our Life circumstances, the Life Force that was naturally flowing in us, will accumulate and stagnate. This process of accumulation creates a condition termed "over-energy" in Oriental medicine, which is traditionally equated with pain.
To help you see this more clearly, imagine now a free flowing river, blocked by boulders and debris, and the stagnant pool of unhealthy water which results. To get a sense of this disharmony, imagine the over-energy in the river which is blocked above the boulders, and the lack of energy downstream. It is not the quality of the water that is the problem; it's the fact that the enormous pressure it is under creates an intense imbalance that is felt everywhere.
The Life Force that is trapped in our own system like a large mass of water is trapped by a river dam creates what we term the Pain-Body, an energy field of negative beliefs and negative decisions that controls our perceptions and behavior.
Two of the main foundational rules in Chinese medicine say: "Stagnant energy creates disease." and "where there is Pain there is over-energy". Over-energy in the body-mind electrical circuits, creates physical, emotional and mental disharmony that is referred to in Chinese medicine as Yin/Yang imbalance. On one side, there is not enough, on the other side, there is too much.
Yin and Yang together symbolize the never-ending creative dynamic movement of the universe. Yin-Yang is in us, since we are part of this universe. If we resist or deny the existence of any of them in us, the Life force becomes stagnant and unhealthy. We feel cut off from Life and from ourselves and our only company is our suffering.
To react and resist is much like placing boulders in the stream of life. When we change our reactions and we accept the fact that, "Okay, this is happening in my life, and it really exists," we are allowing the Life force that was stuck to flow and to be transformed. We can go on ignoring that pain for as long as we wish, but once we consent to engage in it directly, the door to the real transformational process get open for us.
"You see, Life is intelligent.
Life is all-powerful,
and Life is always and everywhere seeking expression.
What is more, it is never satisfied
It is constantly seeking greater and fuller expression.
The moment a tree stops growing,
that moment the Life Force in it starts
seeking elsewhere for means to better express itself.
The moment you stop expressing more and more of Life,
that moment the Life Force starts looking around
for other and better outlets" –
