YOUR SKIN CELLS HAVE SUCH GREAT MEMORY!

The human cell: no wonder it has such
good memory.

Skin cells have an incredible memory. You may have experienced this yourself. For example, years after having recovered from surgery or a trauma of some kind, you’re getting a treatment from an ayurvedic practitioner, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist or a massage therapist. Then seemingly out of nowhere, a memory blocking self-healing comes up through
a shoulder, a vertebra, your stomach to be released.

What caused that release? Why now? Why that practitioner? Why that body part? The mechanics of it are getting clearer. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a passionate chemist, describes this with today's scientific tools what ayurvedic seers knew thousands of years ago: that each cell of the body, including skin cells, has incredible memory. For a great demonstration, watch his video on fractal evolution on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xywpyZwm7Ko. 

But you can trust the intelligence of your own body. One thing is sure: it has nothing to do with the rational mind. It knows when it’s ready to let go; it knows who it can trust and when. It also knows how to inform the rational mind, subtly or not, that it is time create an opportunity.

The process sure can be surprising. It could bring tears, a song, laughter or a re-living of the incident, but usually in a detached way, as if you were watching a video. Then a layer of the past is gone, never to return. This makes room to enjoy new experiences and to witness a bright and expansive landscape of who you really are. In a sense, it’s like cleaning the drives of your computer, making space for relief, rejuvenation, spaciousness and for… the unknown.

By attending to big or small traumas and daily aggressions, the body counteracts the aging process. This is why I love giving and receiving physical or energy treatments so much. It’s like getting a wrapped present, wondering what is in it and then delighting in the surprise. 

It even happens that the same memory will surge from different body parts at different times, as layers of a piece of our life. And life is so generous. It provides so many chances to experience, review and heal layers until nothing is left but gratefulness for all that was learned.

The irony of it all is that aging is necessary to figure out how to stay youthful and meet the un-dying force within. Isn't that great! Something definitely worth looking forward to.
