The Healing Processes of the Heart

THE HEALING PROCESSES OF THE HEART

In my book, A Clear Path to Healing, Chapter 10 is The Healing Processes of the Heart.   This is a very special chapter in the book.   It was one of those writing experiences where it just flowed out of me in one sitting with no outline and no plan…and when I sent the final book to the editor, she said that it did not have one spelling mistake or grammatical error.   Truly inspired from the Heart!

Here is a summary of that chapter.   These are the 7 processes everyone experiences through the healing and growth process.

1. Awareness – The more aware you are, and the more keen this awareness, the more adaptable you will become and those things that once caused you grief, are now merely an itch.  Check out this link to learn a simple, yet powerful awareness exercise called the Present Moment Awareness Technique (PMA).
2. Acknowledgment –  Acknowledgment allows you to recognize the awesome being that you are.  By acknowledging every aspect of yourself, including the parts that cause you grief, can you then become whole.
3. Acceptance  – By accepting any situation with an attitude of “what is…is,” much of the anxiety and apprehension will dissipate and be replaced with peace and calm.
4. Appreciation  – When you come to appreciate everything the body does, everything that comes to mind and everything you feel, no matter how strange, uncomfortable or frightening, your disease or condition is no longer seen as such, but instead witnessed as a blessing in disguise…a sheep in wolves’ clothing.
5. Affirmation –  In this stage of healing, the universe begins to speak to you through life. You find that you no longer speak of lack or detriment, but instead spread only words of wisdom, healing and truth.  You have freed yourself from the prison of false beliefs, denial and doubt, and have become one of the few who sees through rose-colored glasses and always has a cup that is half-full, rather than half-empty.
6. Atonement – Atonement or At-One-Ment is the process by which you realize that we all experience challenges in life.  Each of us live each day with the same struggles and adversity that this physical existence offers.  This eliminates the need for forgiveness, for in this state no one is the culprit…nor the victim.
7. Awe – When you are in Awe, everything you see, hear and touch around you fills you with wonder and amazement, yet you are never surprised at what you experience.  Because of your awareness and understanding of how the universe operates and how you and everyone else is an integral part of it, your heart soars with what can only be called glee.

If you would like learn these principles in greater depth and take them to the next level, look below in our blog thread where all 7 Processes of the Heart are explained in depth.

How to “Deal” with Pain

Pain is something we need to deal with in Life.   We hate it.   When we have it, we want it to go away.  Often, no matter what we do, how many doctors we see, how many things we try….it doesn’t budge…or it goes away temporarily and comes back.   Sometimes it feels like an enemy inside us who’s only goal is to stop us from doing what we want, take away our Joy and interfere with our lives!    I get it!   Years of migraines, multiple spinal and other injuries, and working with 1000’s of clients for almost 30 years has given me this compassion.   I’ve been there and I know how it feels.   I want to share with you what I have learned and how I “deal” with Pain.   If you choose to read this and apply it, I promise you will be freed from the bondage of Pain.

First of all, it is important to understand that Pain is not your enemy….it is your GUIDE.   The first thing I would imagine that you think when you feel pain is “Something’s wrong.”   I am here to tell you that if you are feeling pain, it is there for a reason and something in your life needs to change for your well-being to expand.    If you step on a nail or touch a hot stove and don’t feel pain, then I would say, “Something’s wrong.”  If you eat a horrible, unhealthy diet and put things in your body that are not supportive of health, and you do not feel pain, I would say, “Something’s wrong.”   If you are in a job that you hate or a relationship that’s not supportive and loving, and you do not feel pain, I would say, “SOMETHING’S WRONG!”   Get my point?!

Pain is a GUIDE that tells you 3 things:

1. Stop what you are doing.
2. Pay Attention.
3. Make a change.

That’s it.   So, how do you deal with Pain?    Following the above understanding, here is a step-by-step process to create the change necessary to eliminate the NEED for pain.  This process takes courage, patience, and use of your WILL.  And sometimes its as simple as pulling the nail out of your foot.  😊

1. Stop what you’re doing and take a deep breath.
2. Stop trying to get rid of the pain…stop resisting it….and focus all of your attention into it and allow yourself to FEEL it.  (Sometimes this is enough to allow it to stop.   It may take minutes…sometimes hours…but often enough for the pain to relax.   It is how I eliminated migraines.)
3. Ask yourself “What is my body, mind, or emotions trying to tell me?   What do I need to change? (You may not get an answer right away.   But stick with it and you will know.)
4. Make the change!   
5. Seek professional help, if necessary.   Preferably a natural, qualified practitioner who understands what we have been discussing, such as a Chiropractor or Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
6. Do you’re best not to numb it out with medication, unless absolutely necessary to accomplish an important task or responsibility.

One more thing about pain, before closing.   It is very common that when something is healing or changing, you may feel more pain.   Why?   Because when something is healing or changing, you will become more aware of it.    If there was pain before, it may feel like its increasing.   If you had no pain, you may start feeling pain.   You are just becoming more aware of the area or emotion.   A great example is when your arm or leg falls asleep.    When it starts waking up, it often hurts.   You are becoming more aware of it as nerve and blood flow is restored.    So, if you are in a healing process or making a change and something physically or emotionally hurts, follow the steps above and it will pass.

I hope you received great value from this article, apply it, and create great results supporting your on-going optimal health and well-being.   If you have any questions or need support with this, please reach out to me or our Wellness Consultant, Anja at info@placeforhealing.com or 954-848-4325.

Your New Year’s ReVolution

It is a time-honored tradition of yearly commitment to change – the New Year’s Resolution.  We sit down and make a decision that this year we will begin a regular exercise program or new diet.  Or perhaps we will quit smoking or spend more time with our children.  Why is it that when we make these ‘resolute’ decisions, so many of these annual promises rarely last?  When we resolve each year, what we are really looking for is ‘a dramatic and far-reaching change’.   What we seek is a New Year’s REVOLUTION.

Often our New Year’s resolutions ‘revolve’ around actions we want to take or habits we want to change.  The focus is always on the action – the Doing.  To create a dramatic and far-reaching change, we must first understand that all of our actions come from what we are thinking and feeling… who we are being.

It is a common belief that ‘when I do this…then I will have that…and then I will be happy.’  For example, if I work real hard, I will have lots of money and then I will be happy.  The truth is true success and happiness occur in the reverse.  When you are happy with an attitude of success …you will do the things that will bring you all you desire.  The being always precedes the doing and the having.

To create your New Year’s Revolution, you must first decide what you want, and then, more importantly, determine why you want it.   Ask yourself why you want to exercise or go on a diet.  Is it to lose weight?  Is it to get in shape?  But why do you want that?  With each answer to why, keep asking why.  Dig deeper.  Are you trying to get away from or MOVING TOWARD something?  Ultimately, you will find that the answer will always lead to a state of being you want to move toward…to be stronger…to be freer…to be happy.

Would you like to know a secret?  Come closer…you do not have to do anything to be happy!  All you need is to change your focus and decide to be happy.  Ultimately, this is the decision that needs to be made…to be happy.  It is an attitude.  How do you be happy?  Ask what it would feel like right now if you were happy.  Ask yourself how a happy person would be.  How would a happy person breathe…shallow or deep?  What would their posture be like?  How would they move?  What would they be thinking?   How else would they be?  Once you have the answers to these questions, you have the formula to be happy.  If you want to be successful… enthusiastic… compassionate, ask how a person with these qualities would be and be it by putting your attention on how it would feel right now..  You will find that once you develop these qualities, you will automatically do the things that will bring you the things that you desire.

Always start your New Year’s Revolution by developing your be.  Before taking action, spend a week, or even a month, being the person who would take that action by putting your attention on the feeling of it already accomplished.  You will reach a point when the feeling will be so real you will naturally take the action that will bring it forth easily and effortlessly.  It will be a natural expression of who you are.  Just as a flower effortlessly releases it fragrant scent and a bird naturally sings its song, so too will you naturally fulfill your New Year’s REVOLUTION.

The Power of Presence

by Rob James, Founder of the Self Discovery Life Mastery Techniques

The most powerfully transformational reality we can explore as humans is to be fully present with our moment-to-moment life experience, to fully acknowledge and be aware of our thoughts and emotions and physical sensations as they occur. When we embrace our life in this way, everything begins to “flow” and transform in truly amazing ways!

The natural healing process of our body begins – and stored emotions and sensations that we formerly were unconscious of begin to surface. As we become aware of them and allow them to flow without resistance, without trying to “fix” them or “process” them or analyze them or “do” anything at all to them – just the act of passively observing them creates a miraculous transformation!

The “charges” that were held in our body begin to dissipate much like discharging a battery and we free more of our attention to use as we decide. We can then live with more deliberation, self-determination and the result is more freedom and clarity in our life.

The law of least effort applies fully here – how much effort does it take for the grass to grow or for birds to fly or for the Earth to whirl at an incredible speed through space! How much effort do you want to exert to live your life? If most of us ask our heart this question we will hear the intuitive answer – effortless living. When we surrender to fully experiencing each moment, our natural tendency is to live in this “eternal now” and life flows effortlessly – you meet exactly who you need to and experience exactly what you need to move your life in a more expansive and fulfilling direction…serendipity becomes the norm.

Some of us have struggled for so long that we believe it is the only way, we believe we deserve to suffer because we did not do what our parents or society programmed us to do exactly the way they told us to. Far more fundamental to who we are – our heart yearns to be free and for us to fulfill our true desires and deliver our original and unique message to the world, our life purpose, to fully express ourselves as who we are.

Most of us know all of this intellectually – the question to ask yourself is how conscious are you being? How much of the time are you being fully aware and present? How about right now? Are you aware of the room you are in or your body or the thoughts you are having right now? Are any of your identities running you on automatic? Is your mind “stuck” in the think, think, think mode with opinions about everything? Observe it right now for a moment and see…

This is all you ever need do – practice being aware of yourself and observe yourself moment-to-moment . Choose to act only from inspiration and intuition and watch the miracles begin!

If you want to deepen your ability to be conscious in every moment of life and release limitations to your joy and success – you will want to explore the Self Discovery Life Mastery Coaching. What does your intuition tell you?

Chiropractic Supports Children’s Immune System

Yesterday, our son woke up with 103.7 fever. I immediately gave him a Network Adjustment followed by a gentle Toggle to his atlas. In less than an hour, his fever broke and today he has a little cough but no fever. No antibiotics. What medicine? Chiropractic, rest, positive intentions, nutritional immune boosters, lots of love and attention and the innate healing intelligence of the body. (Watch how his neck responds to the gentle Network contacts on his sacrum.)

A Beautiful Testimonial: What My Practice is All About

A Beautiful Testimonial:

What My Practice is All About

 

“I originally came to Dr. Barry Weinberg and A Place for Healing because I suffered from vertigo, migraines and lower backaches.  Lots of work stress and taking lots of medications.

Since receiving Network Chiropractic care, I’m off my meds…less tension in my back and neck.  I’m much more aware of my mind and body.  I experience very little headaches.  I used to have an episode of vertigo about every other month, but now I’ve had only 2 minor attacks during the year I’ve been coming.

I feel energetic physically and mentally under Dr. Weinberg’s care.  I now have peace and am stress free.”

~ Linda Damon

This beautiful testimonial demonstrates what my practice is all about. People who have been to my practice know that I am not about fixing anything or making pain go away. Yet, when the spine and nervous system are free of tension and interference, the body seems to “magically” heal and pain, illness and injury leave the body. People who have been to my practice know that I don’t usually give instruction on nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle habits. Yet, when the spine and nervous system are free of tension and interference, people seem to “magically” know what changes they need to make in their lifestyle and make those changes.

People who have been to my practice know that I am not a counselor, life coach or therapist. Yet, when the spine and nervous system are free of tension and interference, anxiety, depression and fear tend to “magically” fade and they experience more mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

This is what my practice is all about.

Through the gentle, honoring contacts I apply to the spine with Network Spinal Analysis chiropractic care, people connect more with their bodies and develop new strategies to release tension, use tension to create change and become more adaptable to life. Through this process, not only does the body heal, but people experience more well-being in all areas of their life in a way that they never experienced before.

This is what my practice is all about.

Empowering people to heal themselves by finding the message in their pain, tension, illness, or injury and using it as a guide and the fuel to make subtle changes in their life that produce dramatic, positive results.

This is what life is all about.

This is what I am all about.

This is what my practice is all about.

With Love,

Dr Barry

The Key to Begin Healing

Have you ever had a pain that just wouldn’t go away?  An injury that doesn’t seem to want to heal?  Any chronic health problem or challenge?   It is my intention in this article to share with you a subtle, but powerful solution to this dilemma.  And although the solution is simple, I can guarantee a part of you will not want to do it.  In fact, a part of you will scream, “NO!  I WON’T DO IT.”   Let’s explore this.

In any healing process, the first step is awareness.  You have to become aware of a problem before it can be changed.  If you have a piece of lettuce in your teeth, you can’t remove it until someone points to their mouth and says, “There’s something in your teeth.”  In the healing process, this awareness usually starts as a symptom, such as a pain or discomfort.

The next step in any healing process is acknowledgement.  You have to acknowledge that there’s a problem.  If you ignore the pain or discomfort that you became aware of, what usually happens?  It gets worse, doesn’t it?  So acknowledgement is necessary.  The admittance that “I have a problem and something needs to change.”

Now we come to the next step in any healing process.  And this is the key to truly begin the healing.   This is the step I referred to earlier.  This is the step that you will probably resist and stop reading this article with an adamant “NO!”

The third and critical step to any healing process is ACCEPTANCE.

Once you become aware that there is something happening that needs to change, and you acknowledge it for what it is, to truly start the process of it changing and healing, you must accept it for what it is.  You must feel it, experience it and accept that in this moment this is what is.   You must accept that your life up to this point has led to this experience.   You must accept responsibility that the structure of your life as you have lived it, your behaviors and actions, and your thoughts, beliefs and the meaning you give things led to this experience.  And, most importantly, you must accept that you have the power to change it and only YOU can change it.

One of the greatest stories of the power of acceptance is the story of Victor Frankl, author of Man’s Search for Meaning and a survivor of the Holocaust. Victor Frankl was a prisoner in the Auschwitz death camps during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Surrounded by the smell of burning bodies and the sounds of children’s screams, Frankl found himself in an experience where death was certain.

One day, Frankl was taken to a dark room in the basement of a burnt out building, so that the “doctors” could give him a “routine checkup.” Before he knew it, he was strapped to a table and the men began sterilization surgery on him … without anesthesia. As he lay on the table in excruciating agony, he had a realization. These men had the liberty to go where they pleased and do what they wished, but, they did not have the freedom to think for themselves. They were puppets of a dark master, of which they must perform such horrible acts upon another human being. Although they had liberty, he, Frankl, had the freedom to create in his mind whatever picture he desired and think his own thoughts. With this sudden insight, he accepted his situation and began spending all his time with his eyes closed imagining himself running through green fields with his children and grandchildren. He saw himself being free of his horrible surroundings and envisioned himself traveling to America to share his story and newfound wisdom.

Victor Frankl survived the death camps. He traveled to America and wrote his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, which has been a source of inspiration for millions of readers. If Frankl had not accepted his situation, he would have suffered through his experience and probably never survived. By accepting his appalling circumstance and creating a new vision within his mind, Victor Frankl not only lived through it, but healed himself in the process and helped millions of people around the world to accept their situation and heal as well.

So what comes after acceptance?  NEXT!!!  This is what is, but what’s next?   What is your ideal?  And your ideal is not to be free of pain or cured of your illness.   The ideal is what is on the other side:  abundant health, vital energy, full self-expression, living on purpose.  Create a vision of your ideal and align the structure of your life, your behaviors and actions, and what you focus on with that vision … and watch the magic of healing, growth and success unfold.

Healing your Pain

Do you feel any pain or tension in the body?

Pain and discomfort has one purpose:  The body is asking for your attention.

Often when we experience a pain or discomfort in the body, our first reaction is to resist it and do what ever it takes to make it go away.  Instead, give the body what it is asking for:  ATTENTION.

Close your eyes and put your full attention into the area of discomfort.   FEEL IT without resistance….without trying to make it go away.  Allow it.

It may take a little time, but by give the body the attention it is asking for, not only will the pain begin to lessen, the body will begin to heal.

Just as we give a child attention when he or she is crying….and not try to stifle their expression….so too should we give our body attention when it cries for it.

With Love,

Dr Barry
