The Power That Heals the Body

Almost everyone has an inner knowledge that mental and

emotional “stresses” can cause illness in the body.

However, the question has always been how and why? To

understand the inner workings behind stress-induced

symptoms, we need to understand and learn about the

way the body responds and adapts to a specific kind of

stress called a “conflict shock.”

There are two kinds of stressors we experience within our

psyche. The first, though they may be difficult to manage,

are predictable and relatively normal. They represent

hardships we are prepared to meet and are mostly clear on

how to navigate, despite the difficulty. The second kind of

stressors are ones that, without a moment’s notice, take us

by surprise and catch us on the wrong foot. They are acute

and isolating, where we have difficulty comprehending or

navigating the challenge, sometimes for weeks, months or

years to come. The latter kind of stresses are called

“conflict shocks.”

For the purpose of overcoming conflict shocks, every living

organism possesses what are called innate “biological

programs” of adaptation. Here’s how it works: The conflict

shock causes a visible, focal imprint in the brain controlling

a specific cellular adaptation in a corresponding organ of

the body, designed to help an individual, from the

biological level, overcome their conflict. Which organ, and

the degree of its cellular changes, depends on the nature

of the conflict and how the psyche perceived the shocking

event.

If someone is “conflict-active” (where the conflict is

unresolved), the cellular changes will continue to proceed

accordingly. If they resolve the conflict, the biological

program will begin to reverse those changes; edema will

present in the area of the brain where the foci exists, and

an inflammatory process of cell-restoration or recovery will

unfold to heal the organ tissues that had previously

undergone unique adaptation.

In all, I don’t think there is a more significant discovery in

all of medical science. We can now understand and predict

disease symptoms before they occur…Because “disease”

symptoms are merely the consequence of these natural,

predictable, cellular changes directed from the brain. The

majority of “common ailments” unfold at the onset of the

inflammatory process of healing or recovery after the

conflict is over.

Knowing each organ’s unique biological program of

adaptation gives us a scientific basis to understand health

and biology free of fear. By knowing the specific kinds of

conflict shocks that initiate each program, we can peer into

our own biology through a new lens, with a clear under

standing and comprehension of the meaning of symptoms.

In the case of chronic inflammatory conditions, we can

now see how “relapses” of the original conflict shock can

inhibit and prolong the healing or recovery process,

because the relapse re-engages the biological program

response.

In chiropractic there is a saying: The power that made the

body, heals the body. We are coming very close to a

scientific appreciation and comprehension of this power,

which exists in the individual’s nervous system, in their psyche.

In classical mythology, Psyche is the personified soul or

spirit, the beloved companion of Eros who embodies “a

type of love that seeks fulfillment without violation or

something else.” Etymologically, psyche comes from the

Greek psykhe, “the invisible animating principle or entity

which occupies and directs the physical body.” Psyche is the

animating human spirit that directs our biology and life.

There are several major gifts afforded by these brain-body

discoveries that have re-vivified the importance of the

psyche within our understanding of health and biology.

The first is in its scientific affirmation of the vitalistic

paradigm which advances the major premise that life

expresses intelligence—not malignancy or evil—and that

the purpose of healthcare is to enhance the individual’s

ability to express this innate intelligence.

In seamless connection to this, the second gift is the precise

method of achieving health by helping an individual address

and fully resolve their specific, unique conflict shocks.

Thinking in terms of chiropractic philosophy, this is a mirror

image of “correcting subluxations” within the physical body.

We are learning how to correct the psyche-level sub-lux-

ation that obstructs and diminishes our vitality and higher

health potential.

The third gift, and perhaps the best of all, is the empathic

bond and fellowship that will come out of it, not just in the

field of healthcare, but in our culture at large. If you can

imagine what the world would be like, if instead of judg

ment and blame for an individual’s medical, alternative, or

general lifestyle choices, we hone in with our empathic

circuits to honor their unique reaction to their isolating

shock-event—an event that could have just as easily been

ours in life—then you will begin to understand how the

world in this new healthcare paradigm, far above the turbu

lence of the past, becomes one of immense beauty and

love.
