Thread Name: BS: Mind-Body health connection
Subject: RE: BS: Mind-Body health connection
There is some really interewting material out there on this subject. From Gresham and Nichols comes a viewpoint I want to study more thoroughly.

"Your body's architecture is not random. Every site on or in the human physical structure is predisposed to resonate with specific other sites. These resonances extend to your emotional and mental makeup and your life purpose. Through movement, touch, and expanded perception you can access directly the body's map of consciousness.

Introduction

Ingrams
Inner/Outer/Inter-space
You Are Designed For Movement
Movement Teams and Planar Relationships
Posture
Barriers: Moving - and not
Floor work
Defining a Matrix: Your Rules Are Your Patterns
Shame and Deliverance
Integrated Awareness "

And here is another author who applies the Map of Consciousness to a specific purpose: The Uses of Smoking

"How come nicotine replacement therapy (nicotine patch and gum) only has a 7% success rate for quitting smoking? Why do people on nicotine replacement therapy still crave cigarettes? Clearly, there are reasons for smoking that go far beyond simple chemical addiction. This article, based on The Body's Map of Consciousness, explores the uses of smoking. It gives you some pointers for how you can go about quitting successfully.

"People use smoking to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions such as sadness, grief and anxiety. People use smoking to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions such as sadness, grief and anxiety. This is accomplished partly through the chemical effects of nicotine on the brain. (Many other articles discuss this, so I won't go into it here.) More important for this article is the interaction of smoking with the Body's Map of Consciousness.

And here is Dr. Hawkins: Dr. Hawkins

MAP OF CONSCIOUSNESS
   
"In Power vs Force, Dr. David Hawkins describes how he used kinesiology (muscle testing) to investigate consciousness. He determined that the human experience can be placed on a scale that he labeled from 1 to 1000. Different levels reflect radically unique viewpoints of the world.

"At the low end of the scale are qualities such as Guilt (30), Fear (100), and Anger (150). Humans experiencing life at these levels are trapped by life; they feel victimized by the effect of forces in the physical universe. All levels below 200 are described as "Force," and characterized by a weak kinesiologic response. Levels above 200 are described as "Power," and elicit a strong kinesiologic response.

"Higher on this scale are Courage (200), Willingness (310), Reason (400), and Love (500). Humans experiencing life at these levels feel that they are the source of their lives -- they create effects in the physical universe.

"At the highest end of this scale of human experience (600-1000) are qualities that transcend duality. Labels such as "enlightenment" cannot describe the bliss of these levels of consciousness. Dr. Hawkins reports that the great prophets of recorded human history (Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, etc.) all calibrate on this scale at 1000. Their original message of unity also calibrated near 1000.

"Dr. Hawkins provides valuable insight for spiritual seekers who wish to learn more about spiritual evolution. He also states that, on average, reading Power vs Force will increase a person's level of consciousness 35 points on the scale. To put this in perspective, most people increase only 5 points in an entire lifetime."
