Dis-ease and Intuition: Illness Is Your Body in Conflict
by Ari Koinuma on Jan.29, 2009, under Ari's Diary, Intuition
I’ve been under much stress this week. Over the weekend I decided to live true to my intuition and since then I’ve been dealing with the full-on terror (that’s what it feels like to me!) of what it’s like to make decisions without knowing the reasons why.
I tell you, I never knew that I relied so much on knowing how my actions are justified.
On Monday, I got a very strong sense that I needed to buy a new digital camera for my business. Not just a point-and-shoot, but a digital SLR.
What?
I’m going to be in MUSIC business, you know.
So I kept questioning myself. I began looking on eBay but what I saw didn’t comfort me — they cost more than what I feel comfortable to pay for a piece of equipment I don’t know why I need it.
But the voice inside my head was telling me not to delay, to act now. I said, no, I don’t wanna.
By last night, I was starting to feel a knot in my stomach. I felt a sickness coming on. Only after 2 days of resiting my intuition.
So I finally gave in. Last night I placed an order on an older Canon.
As soon as I hit the order button — my deed was done, I can’t take it back any more — I immediately felt a tremendous sense of relief. I may not be able to tell you the reason why, but I know I made the right decision. It’s possible that in 3 months I’m going to sell it, but buying it now was something I needed to do.
I also know that had I continued resisting my intuition, I would be home sick today.
I firmly believe that an illness is an indication of a deeper inbalance in your system — not just physical, but mental and spiritual as well. A person who’s self-actualized, having the time of his/her life, doesn’t get sick. But a person who’s suppressing deeper problems also doesn’t get sick — well, they do, but not sick enough to make them stop and reflect. And the latter is very dangerous. I have seen people who were known to be healthy go-getters all the sudden develop major illnesses like cancer and die young.
Bob Proctor says in the movie the Secret that disease is dis-ease, your body not at ease.
I may have increased my family’s financial risk last night, but my body is more at ease today. That’s gotta be an indication of something.
