An excerpt from The Language Your Body Speaks 
by Ellen Meredith

Energy healing is based on the premise that energy is our essence and that while our bodies appear to be solid, they are in fact a constantly swirling set of energetic exchanges.

In The Language Your Body Speaks: Self-Healing with Energy Medicine (New World Library, May 5, 2020), author Ellen Meredith, an energy medicine practitioner with over 35 years of experience, teaches readers how to speak the energetic language of the body, mind, and spirit through simple experiments, exercises, and practices.  We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the book.

Allopathic medicine is based on studies that prove statistically that something is true or effective. A medication or treatment must work for a given percentage of people studied before it is approved for use, though sometimes the demonstrated effectiveness of a medication is not much greater than its placebo effect! There are good reasons for insisting a medication work for many, but this shuts out usages that might help individuals. Herbalists believe individualized potions are more effective than just giving the same generic treatment to everyone with the same complaint.

Years ago, in the early days of the AIDS epidemic, I had a client who told me he had healed his AIDS. He had been tested (a number of times) as HIV positive, and then he caught pneumonia, which bumped his diagnosis to active AIDS. After he recovered from the pneumonia, he worked on his health using spiritual and nutritional approaches, and after eight years, he was consistently testing HIV negative. I was amazed and excited to hear his story. I asked: “What do your doctors say? Have you shared your story with others?” The belief at that time was that AIDS could not be survived, much less healed.

He said he was choosing to keep his story private, explaining, “When I tell people, they either don’t believe me or they believe I am in denial and will soon die. I have chosen not to live with their beliefs because that will overwhelm my own truth. So although I do occasionally get retested, I do not choose to live as an AIDS patient.”

This man was an exception, and life is full of splendid, amazing exceptions from whom we have much to learn. What he taught me was not to discount individual solutions or exceptions to the rule. I also learned to be more aware of the power of social beliefs in healing.

If everyone around you believes you can’t heal, it takes tremendous self-confidence and precious resources to break through that field of expectation to find your own path and truth, to become the exception to the rule.

Sue was a nurse who came to see me at the strong request of her partner, who believed in complementary medicine. Sue did not. But since she was scheduled to undergo a procedure the next day to have her thyroid irradiated (which essentially kills the nonfunctioning thyroid so they can balance your thyroid function through pills), she decided to give energy healing a try. I agreed to see her on the condition that, afterward, she have her thyroid blood levels retested before she went ahead with the planned medical procedure.

She agreed. When I tuned in to her throat energetically, I found that her thyroid had basically switched off. I used the language of energy to dialogue with her thyroid and move the switches to the on position. I could see the glandular tissue reanimate and return to normal functioning. I could hear it, the way you hear a refrigerator start up once you change the fuse that has blown a circuit.

She had gone off all thyroid medication in anticipation of the surgery and felt wiped out without it. Within a few minutes of resetting the switches, she reported (with some surprise) that she felt normal again. Joking, she asked, “Did you slip me a thyroid pill?” In a way I did. I activated the communication system of her energies to reanimate the gland, which in turn produced what her body needed!

The next day, Sue followed through on her promise and asked her doctor to test her thyroid levels one more time. The blood work came back showing normal on all parameters. The doctor was mystified. He asked her what she had done and whether she had somehow taken some thyroid medication, though he knew as a nurse she knew better. She told him about our session.

He barely let her get the words “energy healer” out of her mouth before hurrying to assure her that “idiopathic recovery” occasionally happened and telling her he was canceling her surgery. He asked her to return in a week to see if her levels were still adequate and her thyroid was still functioning. (It was.) What he didn’t do was show any interest or curiosity about her unique experience. He didn’t want to know more about energy healing or what led her to try it. He didn’t care that this individual had found a solution that might hold promise for other individuals. He had a name for what happened — idiopathic means unique to the individual — and therefore, it was not valid or interesting to him.

I have seen this response again and again as clients who experienced successful healing or self-healing encountered disbelief or dismissal from doctors, family, friends, and even within themselves. So I have come to see the wisdom of my ex-AIDS client who wanted to fly beneath the social radar. Using energy medicine successfully includes being willing to be an exception, to beat the odds, to defy gravity, to celebrate the unique capacities of our own bodies and energy systems. It is important to leave room for miracles in each dialogue we have with our own physical being. Experience has taught me that what is sometimes seen as a miracle is in fact just a matter of knowing how to communicate via energy.

It is believed that what you don't like in others is a mirror of yourself, and that what goes around, comes around. If this is true, then why is it that some people can be nasty, spiteful and blatantly lie about me when I am not like that to others? I have had several experiences over the past eight years when I have found out that I have apparently said something I never really said, and it usually comes from people I have barely spoken two words to. I have analyzed this to death, and I can't work out why this keeps occurring. Why are some people mean to people who are kind-hearted? How do nice people manifest such experiences?

Thanks
Virgo

Dreamchaser:

Lisa, I am glad you asked this question. Why on earth do you think that just because you are kind and honest, people will be the same way towards you? Where did you get that idea? If that were the case, no child would ever be murdered by a psychotic lunatic, and no sweet little old woman would ever be beaten for her social security check. There would be no wars. There would be no famines. There would be no suffering of any kind.

Often, the nicer you are to someone, the meaner they are to you. I think that sometimes people are threatened by Light or kindness, love, peace, joy, etc. I think that some people find it necessary to combat kindness with anger or hatred. I also know that some people have issues with intimacy and kindness, as their own childhoods were bereft of either. If one was not shown how to love unconditionally, how to be kind, generous, respectful, etc., then how will one grow up knowing how to do those things? In some cases, no matter what you do or how nice you are, you will continue to get what you consider the raw deal. That is how life goes.

It is very Virgo of you to expect everyone to be upfront, open, honest, and decent to you if you treat them that way. It is also a hard day when we start to realize that the world is NOT fair. You keep expecting fair treatment in business, friendships, love and life in general. So far, you have not received it in ANY area. I think you are starting to figure out that people will just treat you badly at times, regardless of how you treat them.

On the other hand, there are people who will also be exceedingly kind and generous to you. When you come across those types of people, it makes your journey easier for a while. I think there are more positive people on the planet than negative ones, despite what it looks like when we turn on the evening news.

Do not stop being the kind person you are just because the majority of people around you do not return your kindness. You are planting seeds of decency. Hopefully, one day those seeds will take root and those people will start to grow some manners themselves. Also, please notice that if you take a deep breath or two and clear out the energy, you can readjust a situation's energy sometimes. For example, if you smile at someone and they just scowl at you, instead of scowling back and muttering something mean, take that breath and feel the energy lift. It WILL change some situations around you.

I wish you PEACE.

Astrea:

You can't control what other people say and feel about you, and being hurt is a CHOICE you make. You say that over the past eight years, you've been lied about by people you barely know. If you barely know these people, it shouldn't matter to you what they say, Kiddo. There is always going to be some jealous person who wants to hurt you in some way or another. Those people have to live with what they're doing, not you! The only Karma that is being damaged is THEIRS!

When someone goes out of their way to hurt your feelings, it's very difficult to ignore it. If you examine their motives, however, you can rise above it. Why give that acquaintance power over you by choosing to have hurt feelings about a lie? Why give the mean person REPEATING the lie that power? I find with lots of my Virgo friends that mean people like to bait them because the angry, dramatic performance that is sometimes the result is so much FUN for them to observe! Most of the things that these people tell you "others" say are exaggerations anyway, and don't deserve your time and attention.

"What goes around, comes around" is a SLOGAN, like "the show must go on" or "there is ONE soul mate for every person." "What goes around, comes around" might be a comforting notion at times, but it isn't necessarily true. Often, mean people don't ever get the meanness they put into the Universe back, or at least, not in this Incarnation. Expecting that bad things will happen to the people who say bad things about you is unrealistic, and not something to look forward to, anyway! That just keeps you STEEPED in the DRAMA of the situation, and puts more negativity into your life. Dwelling on people getting what they deserve is perpetuating the bad feelings, and will keep drawing those kinds of people into your Harmony to disrupt your life.

As much as I would like to believe that when we meet people in kindness and love, that's what we'll always get in return, I have lived too long to be that idealistic. There are some VERY MEAN PEOPLE in the World, and they get their kicks from other people's unhappiness. As a Virgo, you're going to be challenged in ALL of your personal and work relationships.

Virgos like to be IN CONTROL of their lives at all times. That's the nature of your Sign. What can you do about it? Try to keep YOURSELF in a positive mindset, no matter what others do. The only person's mouth and feelings you can control are your OWN. Remember what you learned as a child about sticks and stones!

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
