Dialogue With Illness Exercise

There is a message in all things
if only we have the desire to understand it.

Pick one symptom mental or physical that you would like to understand and by understanding heal.

It could be arthritis, fear of heights or shyness, etc.

Notice the first thought or impression that comes into your mind.

Do not edit. Just observe. Just let it blurt out.

Now allow yourself to get deeper
in touch with that which is troubling you.

Experience it as fully as you can.

Now make it worse and observe how you did that.

Now switch places with the symptom.

You are the symptom.

Next have the you that is outside the symptom
begin to ask the symptom the following questions.

How have you affected my life?

What are you going to with my body / mind ?

How have you affected my relationships?

Do you help convey something that I cannot convey
without you?

Some message or information?

Do you protect me form anyone or anything?
(This question is key for we often use illness to avoid confronting the issues that line behind them. A form of denial)

What is the positive intent behind this?

What lesson once understood will free me from this?
