Opening your mind to healing potentials

Have you ever heard of a microtuble? You could think about them as skeletal fibres or 'rebars' which provide shape to a cell. Every cell with a nucleus contains microtubles, illustrated here in yellow.

In 'The Genie in Our Genes', Dawson Church describes these protein filaments as 'transient' in that, their lifespan is much shorter than you might imagine. He goes on to quote John McCrone from the June 2004 issue of the Science and Consciousness Review.

“Do you know the half-life of a microtubule, the protein filaments that form the internal scaffolding of a cell? Just ten minutes. That’s an average of ten minutes between assembly and destruction."

Dawson states, "The conclusion of this research is that the entire brain is being recycled about once every other month, opening up an enormous field of enquiry into how neurological change interacts with changes in energy systems."

Now, consider the implications of this discovery. If the turnover time of the physical matter of our brain (and our bodies) is so transient — how is it we continue to be how we are, hold beliefs as long as we do. How do we remain intact and express ourselves as consistently as we do?

Consciousness is the answer. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our emotional states and the environment we exist in all coalesce into a frequency — an energetic state — which, when on loop or when remaining unchanged or unstimulated by new experience — retains said patterns. We are more space than matter. We exist in an ocean of energy. It runs through us from beyond us, and we are each individual expressions of this greater energetic source.

The healing implications

Imagine being told (while undergoing a recovery period) — 'did you know the cell structure recycles itself in less than an hour? So really it's up to you and what you believe, and the energetic state you exist within, as to how quickly and efficiently you might heal...'

What potentials might open up if the perspective offered was as open ended, and more importantly, self-empowering as this.

Imagine you take a mere 20 minutes of your day resting in this potential, feeling the body as it naturally goes through the process of regenerating new cells at a rate more rapid than what we think is possible. They are already halfway decomposed and building anew, and you're only halfway through this article.

"The very skeleton of each cell is being revised several times each hour, as though a building’s architecture was metamorphosing each day!" — Dawson Church

Imagine creating space in your perceptions to the possibilities that your focus on the quality of these cells, and how they're interacting within, can influence the quality of the environment they're generated within.  

There's no force required, just a restful awareness set by your intention to generate peaceful and harmonic conditions, and then an allowing that sets the environmental tone around you and within.

No matter though (pun intented), if some habitual thought patterns of thinking occur — you need only let a few minutes to pass for new cells to be imprinted with new energy, existing in a harmonic moment, which sets the tone for the next moment, and the next.

"“Memory, learning, stress and healing are all affected by classes of genes that are turned on or off in temporal cycles that range from one second to many hours. The environment that activates genes includes both the inner environment — the emotional, biochemical, mentals, energetic and spiritual landscape of the individual — and the outer environment. The outer environment includes the social network and ecological systems in which the individual lives." — Dawson Church (The Genie in our Genes).

This voice-over is an excerpt from the Mind-Body Align hypnosis, which is a great (and free) place to start with using hypnosis to practice interoception — attuning to the internal sensations of the body. This gives you a glimpse and a real, lived-experience sense of how conscious repair can occur.
