Healing & the Extraordinary Mind
Updated: Sep 19
Excerpt: Opening Statement and Closing Summary
This article describes how deep relaxation and nuanced sensing into the body, mind, and subtle energy field release trauma and open a healthy, embodied pathway for human
consciousness to unfold, expand, and evolve into advanced stages of human awakening.
Conclusion
Reich’s framework, the Hindu energy philosophy, the body-centered psychology methods and the Tibetan Buddhist philosophy encourage the individual to relax tension and open to a natural flow of energy which seems to clear the channels in the human body of physical imbalances and disease while clearing the mind of obsessive thought and emotional disturbances leading to expanded consciousness.
In the language-based developmental models of O’Fallon and others, a relaxation, opening, and expansion of the mind occur to include more and more of reality - from only identifying with the concrete world, to including the subtle world of thoughts, feelings, plans, and ideas until all is “just this” where all of concrete, subtle, and super subtle form, are expressed inside or through timelessness, boundlessness, and formlessness.
As the individual relaxes and opens through the body, mind, subtle energy field, into and as Awareness-itself - a deeper stillness, peace, and quiet become prevalent and through this stillness one can perceive past, present and future, stop the karmic chain, and allow spirit/energy/life force to energize, enliven, and move the body into spontaneous, fluid “right” action, synchronized with all, in each moment.
Ultimately, the individual surrenders primary identification with the personal self altogether and perceives the transparency of all of form emanating like a dream from the boundless vastness of the Unborn. As we relax our identification with a physical body or any form, whatsoever, the truth of our Original Face reveals itself. We relax further and we feel ourselves as all of form literally experiencing life saturated in and as clear Formless Awareness.
The evolutionary impulse seems to be intensifying in many of us now, possibly even
exponentially. Perhaps for those on the path, enlightenment and Buddhahood are more attainable than we have imagined. Tilopa said: “When all attempts to conceptualize cease, you will attain perfect awakening.”84 If you have read this far, you know what to do. Relax; feel and sense everything; let go of the subtlest attachment and avoidance in body, emotion, mind, and subtle energy; and let the magnificent radiance of (your) Being be free. Freedom, Love, and Clear Light are right now shimmering as your already Enlightened Self.
