A Deeper Level

I've mentioned that I went to the osteopath again today.

Most of the treatment that I am having at the moment is based on the cranial osteopathy model rather than having a skeletal problem (e.g. a back problem).

Part of the cranial osteopathy philosophy and, indeed, part of the traditional osteopathy philosophy is promoting well-being within the body rather than just focusing on the aspects that require remedial work.

Cancer involves the multiplication of bad cells in a process called "mitosis" and chemotherapy and radiotherapy seek to destroy the bad cells and call an end to the process.  In attempting to achieve these aims both processes destroy not just bad cells and tissue but also good ones.

The cranial osteopathy treatment that I am receiving, as well as my own personal efforts are focused in a different way and, I suppose, may be considered to be a complementary opposite.

Aspects of cranial osteopathy seek to engage with the person's underlying "blueprint" and promote it.  That may be viewed in a contra light as it can be considered as promoting a healthy environment rather than trying to reverse the bad.

Of course it is the heavy guns of radiotherapy and chemotherapy which are the centre-piece of any potential cure but the contra approach is a healthy one.

Whilst the cranial osteopathy provides a physical aspect of the contra approach the aspect of my meditations with my mantra aim to do the same thing on a mental and emotional level.

The mantra is about going back to my source and generating the flower image from that just as the aum is perceived to emanate from the source as I explained in a previous post http://thebookofsilence.blogspot.com/2010/10/using-mantra.html

"To me, however, it is symbolic of regeneration and healing. I often imagine the rose heads as cells and the spreading of good cells in my body"

I had not perceived the synergistic approach of the cranial osteopathy and what I am doing myself, but it feels good to be "singing from the same song sheet" and is helpful in continuing to feel positive.
