You can try all you want to fix a problem by trying to fix the symptoms, but as long as you don’t fix the cause it will be an endless battle.
On the most physical level we have our bones, flesh, blood, our body.
On a more subtle level there is the energetic body; our electric signals through our nervous system, a constant flow, and our breath..
On an even more subtle level, there’s the mind, thoughts, creations of emotions. Our mental body.
We have our knowledge body, our intellect, discrimination and will.
And on an even more subtler level is the observer. The observer within. The witness of all the lower levels of activity. Our bliss body. Pure consciousness, or higher Self.
What happens when our systems or ‘bodies’ are out of balance?
The subtle is the foundation for the gross.
If we try to change something on the gross level and not the finer, subtler levels we can face blockages and resistance.
Everything that is gross is made up of smaller parts.
You may have an ache in your neck, a certain muscle tension, you try to stretch it all the time, it may help a little, but maybe the problem keeps coming back. But on a more subtle level, what may be happening? The brain is sending the wrong signals to that muscle, it’s constantly saying it has to tense and tighten, and this can be why you get certain muscle tension.
On an even more subtle level than this, maybe a certain thought, which is triggered by a certain emotion. Maybe a stress thought about the future creates this muce tension, and you try to work on the gross level to fix it.
By going to the most subtle level, we can often fix the problem.
Our body, mind and nervous system all reflect each other’s state.
To see the mind as not just in your head but in your whole body. The brain has got all it’s roots, its tentacles and tubes (nadis) flowing from it. Through the spine and through the nervous system. Through every corner of your body. So if there’s some tension or stress in the mind, it will send it somewhere into the body.
Everything is connected.
Your emotional state and mind reflect back into your interactions with people.
Maybe there’s something outside of yourself. Maybe you’re bumping into people that you’re continuously having struggles with. You try to fix it by trying to be nice, or maybe you people please. But at source level, at the fine level there is a certain stuck emotion, feeling anger about something that happened in the past, or about yourself, or a certain judgement.
Maybe you find it hard to avoid these people, or find yourself getting into the same mental patterns and same reactions.
Our state of mind is influenced by our subconscious mind.
Working from source level, at the subtlest level is all about learning to bring the awareness inwards. And as you work from the inside, our more subtler, finer layers influence the gross layers. This is where we can use will power, insight and wisdom to make changes within.
At the source there is pure consciousness and creative energy from which we can operate from.
