The Carnal Body and The Holy Temple

From the perspective of energy work, there’s a remarkably bigger focus on assisting a client with emotions and intangible or more abstract imbalances. The fair reason is that the medical field already exists, as practitioners we’re (most likely) not qualified to offer other kinds of assistance or advice when it comes to physical injuries or concerns, we may assist in relaxing the body in order to enhance the healing rate or nullify some pain, sometimes we may even intuit an emotional or mental factor that possibly affects the area of physical concern. Energy Work becomes a supplemental type of work in that way and it can be quite useful and appreciated in this manner. Often however, the main reason or most common reason why clients or anyone is attracted to energy work can be linked to personal and more psychological purposes, even unexplained phenomena (makes sense, doctors and other kinds of physicians don’t take into account energetic factors in terms of healing). Physical injuries or physical pain don’t rank as high as one of the reasons someone is drawn to energy work. However the physical body is a conductor of energy, its state of health in part shapes our experiences on earth and denotes the depth of rich and vital feelings and sensations we experience when we’re fully immersed and involved with life. The body in essence can elevate our inner and outer world, it’s the foundation upon which the emotional, mental, psychic and subconscious layers (of energetic material) gravitate around. A stronger and healthier body means clearer, sturdy and robust-vital energy deposits and energetic-field. 

The physical vessel is left in our hands, yet with gentle focus and commitment the individual is free to choose and to learn ways to look after it. This statement is merely over simplified and does not reflect the nuances of reality. Our own unique relationship with our bodies is complex, multilayered and often the psyche and the body itself holds seeds, thoughts and ideas that were imposed by others, by society and even by communities that could have negatively affected the way we interact and think about our own body. It is a relationship that with time, love and reverence real results in the form of improved changes and circumstance manifest both internally and externally. Your love, your devotion and your presence makes all the difference. In this self healing process building a solid connection with your body is as important as setting up the right foundation for any strong and grand building to stand on or when preparing the right prerequisites of a delicious meal. Furthermore, eliminating emotional and mental clutter, fears and negative associations that impede healthy growth are also equally important elements to consider when diving deeper to unlock an ocean of unconditional love for your own body. The last important factor to contemplate in this healing journey is attaining knowledge, learning about the anatomy of the human form, its parts, its functions even if at a base level can be life enhancing, for many the body is as mysterious as the dark side of the moon. In this way knowledge wields tremendous power for transformation.

The Carnal Body is the Holy Temple, it’s the literal walking representation of life on earth, honoring it with the highest degree of our love, of nourishment and care is like making an offering to your spirit. Choosing a path of vibrant health is very much a spiritual path, it’s a part of centering oneself and becoming more present in our life, one of the greatest demonstrations of self love you can grant yourself with greater benefits than one can count. The body contains a separate spirit from our conscious self and will respond to your offerings of love, care and nourishment with healing, beauty and with an abundance of energy to live out your life as light as a feather. This dedication goes beyond just the physical aspects of health and beauty but touches on important life lessons such as discipline, responsibility/accountability, trust and compassion. These virtues add depth and dimension to our lifestyle, they empower us and lend us hope and experience to confront changes, challenges and ourselves. Thus the secret to a glorious and embodied life is through the body first and foremost.

Before outlining a tarot spread for those of you who wish to connect with your body through journaling, I’d like to touch on one interesting biological consideration that’s fascinating. The brain and the nervous centers contain the highest energetic/electrical tissues we have. By eating raw fruit, without cooking or processing, according to Dr. Robert Morse and his clinical studies, raw fruit will regenerate brain and nerve tissue because fruit has the highest electrical energy of all foods. This can be measured by Volt - ohm meters and electromagnetic meters. Electromagnetic energy is rated in units called angstroms, the higher the quantity of angstroms the more electromagnetic energy. The reason this is so important to understand is because when you eat fruits the electromagnetic energy transfers into your body and cells, this not only regenerates tissues but also gives you fuel and energy. As humans, we also hold our own body frequency which will likely be around 6,500 angstroms, to be happy and healthy we need at least 6,000 to 7,000 angstroms of systemic energy at all times. Another important aspect is that at 4,500 and 5,200 angstroms, people are much more susceptible to cancer and other degenerative issues, a cancer patient’s body frequency for example is generally around 4,875 angstroms. This goes without saying that depending on the foods you eat, they can either uplift you (energize, heal etc.) or make you tired/sick. Cooked meats have 0 angstroms, makes sense since it is not alive, milk has 2,000 angstroms, cooked vegetables has 4,000 to 6,500 angstroms (not high enough to uplift us), raw vegetables 8,000 to 9,000 (very much improved energy levels and healing capacities) and finally fruit at 8,000 to 10,000 angstroms (most powerfully healing foods). For more in depth information about foods, the body and healing I highly recommend Dr. Robert Morse’s book The Miracle Detox Sourcebook, it’s easy to read and so incredibly valuable especially in times of misinformation and fear. Knowledge wields tremendous power for transformation, don’t forget.
