Bridge Between Body And Mind
Bridge Between Body And Mind
When you continuously internalize some idea, philosophy, concept, truth, it is your intestine's musclememory which first starts living that concept.
That is why, if that concept is agitating, irritating, against life, it is your stomach which will be affected first; it is your stomach which will be upset first. If the concept is healing, soothing, for life; you will experience healing first in your stomach. So, your intestine muscle-memory can be the scale to find out whether to practice a certain principle or not. It can be the measurement method, the touchstone, to find out whether that principle is going to help you, whether it is going to expand your life, whether is it going to raise your consciousness.
In the tantric tradition, even to find your ishta mantra, the guru will ask you to contemplate on the mantra on your navel; because, if you can't use it on your stomach, you will find out in two days.
Start bringing Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching to your intestine. Just start living them for a few days. The first thing will happen is a thorough healing of your navel; your digestion will increase, cleaning of prana and apana will happen. If you have any disease related to the navel, heartburn, anything related to gas, or ulcers, they will be completely healed.
You may wonder why I am bringing Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching to your navel!
I tell you: each concept brings a certain taste in your throat, a certain breathing pattern in you, and a certain experience in your intestine muscle-memory. If you can just make your intestine muscle-memory experience these four principles – Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching – the amount of healing you will experience in the navel will make these four principles as part of your cognition.
Anything your navel tastes will become part of you. Your intestine muscle-memory is the bridge between your body and mind. Anything your mind contemplates, works on, whether it is good or bad, your intestine muscle-memory will tell you within forty-eight hours. Forty-eight hours is more than enough for your intestine muscle-memory to tell you whether you are on the right track or wrong track, whether you are functioning for life or against life. If you go to the right place, the first thing will happen to you is you will have a settled feeling in your stomach. If you feel uncomfortable, churning in your stomach, you are in wrong place. Even if you're here, if your stomach is churning, something is wrong; you have come late, may be, or ahead of your time. Your intestine muscle-memory will directly tell you whether what you are doing is right or wrong. Usually, healing of the stomach ulcers, healing of the stomach, healing of the navel-related problems will be the first thing happening when you practice these four tattvas. I tell you, any completion will first cool your stomach.
