Mirrors stand as a symbol of reflection – both physical and spiritual. Our thoughts, words and actions are a mirror of our feelings. A mirror is nothing but a metaphor, a reflection into our own selves.
Mirrors have been used since ancient times across many different cultures. However, the ancient Chinese laws of Feng Shui give particular importance to mirrors and their placement.
According to Feng Shui, a mirror is a representation of water. Since chi energy can be pooled or collected with water, it can be done so with a mirror as well. This makes mirrors an extremely powerful tool – they double everything including chi energy.
All Feng Shui experts and practitioners know the power of mirrors. Mirrors are often referred to as Feng Shui’s aspirin. They can magnify, energise and alter a space dramatically. If placed properly, mirrors can even cure any space that is awkwardly shaped and lacks chi energy.
To solve any crisis in life, we need to determine the cause of the problem.
Only when we see these problems can be work towards fixing them. Now, given that mirrors are a reflection of our lives, they can help us see problems and fix them. For example, only when we look at our reflection in the mirror can we say whether we’re having a bad hair day or not! http://graceguru.net/tag/spiri
Thereby I received this message on Facebook recently:
Hey Ken: I’ve been keeping this to myself well my husband and mom know. But keep me in your prayers. I made a mistake and it led to a bigger problem. My spleen has had issues since I did a ton of chemo and transplant back in 2012. Each year since in the winter and spring my spleen struggles to do it’s job. Long story short. I had symptoms like excessive mucus production. Swollen glands and lymph nodes on my left side. Loss of appetite. I was treating all these symptoms and forgot about figuring out the actual cause.
The Emotional Life of the Body
Liver, Gall Bladder: Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder, which makes these two organs vulnerable to negative Choleric emotions like anger, irritability, frustration, resentment, jealousy and envy. These negative Choleric emotions are stored in these organs, and can slowly eat away at them if allowed to fester. Anger and rage can explode upwards from the liver into the head, causing a lot of havoc in their wake: headaches, migraines; red, sore, bloodshot eyes; and muscular tension in the neck and shoulders. Nervous and emotional tension and stress, as well as Melancholic emotions like pensiveness and worry, will stagnate the flow of the Natural Force in the liver, which in turn causes nervous, colicky, Melancholic disturbances of the digestive functions. This excess melancholy often accumulates under the lower ribs, giving a stuffy, distended, congested feeling in the whole chest and diaphragm area. This is the origin of the term hypochondriac.
Stomach: The stomach is a seething cauldron of emotions, and is intimately connected to the Gastric Center, or chakra, also called the Abdominal Center, which governs energy flow and distribution throughout the belly and gut. Choleric emotions like anger, hate, rage and frustration stored here lead to gastritis, ulcers and other Choleric stomach conditions. Many of us hold a lot of Choleric emotions like anger and resentment in our gut. Melancholic emotional stress and tension, as well as pensiveness, worry and anxiety, will stagnate the flow of the Natural Force in the stomach, causing distension, bloating, colic, gas and stomachache. And so, we must always try to be of good cheer when we eat. If accumulated Choleric and Melancholic emotional tensions in the stomach and Gastric Center get very severe, we may experience anorexia, appetite disorders, giddiness, nausea and dry heaves.
Colon: Since the balanced, proper action of black bile is important to proper colon function, the colon is very vulnerable to aggravations and excesses of the Melancholic emotions – especially chronic or deeply held worry, anxiety and nervous or emotional stress and tension. Security issues and deep insecurities will also impact negatively on the colon, since its functioning is intimately connected with the Root Center, or chakra, which pertains to our emotional security. These Melancholic emotional disturbances usually produce disorders like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, or spastic colon, but if the aggravation is severe, even colitis and more serious degenerative diseases may result.
Adrenal glands: The adrenal glands, sitting right on top of the kidneys, are injured and drained energetically by excessive stress. The adrenal medulla and its fight-or-flight adrenaline response is excessively provoked by acute stress and emotional outbursts of anger and the like in those whose lives have become an overdramatized emotional roller coaster. Chronic stress aggravates the functioning of the adrenocortical hormones like cortisol, which can lead to weight gain, especially in the lower body and midriff, as well as rising blood sugar, if the stress is constant and unresolved. Since the adrenal glands provide the energetic support for healthy urinary function, the health, vitality and functioning of the kidneys will also be drained, and adversely affected by weakened or challenged adrenals.
Male Reproductive Organs: Since the male reproductive organs are closely linked, both functionally and anatomically, to the kidneys and urinary tract, negative emotions that adversely affect the kidneys, like fear, fright, shock and anxiety, will adversely affect male sexual function as well. Male impotence or sexual dysfunction, doesn’t always have a physical cause; it can also be emotionally or psychosomatically induced by feelings of fear, inadequacy, insecurity or performance anxiety, which often operate on a subliminal level. Since the main energetic flow of these emotions is sinking and downwards, there may also be incontinence of sperm or premature ejaculation. Since the adrenal glands, particularly the adrenaline response, provides the energetic support for both urinary and sexual function, or response, in the male, men who don’t live a balanced, well-regulated emotional life and drain their adrenal energy will also find that their sexual performance suffers.
Brain: The brain comes last in our discussion of the emotional life of the organs because it’s often the effect of humoral and metabolic imbalances arising elsewhere in the body, which send subtle vapors up to the brain to influence its functioning. Choleric vapors agitate, irritate and inflame, provoking anger, rage, envy, jealousy, or irritability. Warm, moist Sanguine vapors can stir up feelings of wellbeing, pleasure, sensuality or even lust. Melancholic vapors provoke feelings of prudence, caution, pensiveness, worry and withdrawal. Cold, wet Phlegmatic vapors will dull or fog up the brain, producing mental lethargy and dullness, or they will cloud objective thinking with excessive sentiment and subjectivity. However, the brain is not all effect; it can also be cause, since the kinds of thoughts that it habitually thinks can have a profound impact on the heart and its Vital Spirits, and hence on the entire Vital Faculty, for better or worse. And so, we have come full circle, and again return to the heart.

Conclusion
The proper balance and regulation of our emotional life is an important part of our daily hygiene. It’s important not only to the health of the mind, but, as we have just seen, to the health of the body, and all its internal organs.
During his 16 years as a holistic chiropractor, Dr. Bradley Nelson, the developer of the two Codes, found that when working on his patients, beneath their physical symptoms there seemed to be an emotional component. This emotional component seemed to cause either a delay in healing, or actually prevented healing altogether. Dr. Nelson began identifying and releasing emotions that had become trapped in his patients’ bodies. The results were positive. He codified the method, and in 2007, his book The Emotion Code, was released.Over time, Dr. Nelson discovered that Trapped Emotions are the most common cause of imbalance in the body/mind, and these imbalances cause a wide array of emotional and physical symptoms. Dr. Nelson continued using and developing his method, and realized that there were some other causes of imbalance, as well. These factors were more physical, although most often, Trapped Emotions negatively influenced them. He added these additional factors to his method, and called this more comprehensive system The Body Code.
Watch these. The whole thing. This gets right into it.
There are 6 components in the Body Code. The first of these is the emotional component—The Emotion Code.
The components are listed below, along with examples of what each addresses:
The 6 Components of The Body Code
- Energies– emotional, post-traumatic, mental, offensive (The Emotion Code)
- Toxicity– heavy metals, EM spectrum, chemicals, microbial residue
- Circuitry– organs, glands, chakras, meridians
- Pathogens– parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses, mold
- Structural– bones, nerves, muscles, connective tissue
- Nutritional– pH imbalance, foods, herbs, nutrients, magnetic field
To do this work, one becomes certified first in The Emotion Code. This is important because, as I stated above, Trapped Emotions are the single most common cause of imbalance in the body/mind, and also underlie most of the imbalances caused by the other components. Certification in The Body Code can follow and encompasses working with all 6 components. I am certified in both, and use the comprehensive Body Code System in my work.

**************************************************Some people confuse self-love with arrogance, selfishness, self-importance, or ego.
But that’s not what loving yourself is about at all.
We all have within us a Divine spark, that piece of God consciousness that animates us in human form. Loving yourself simply means that you recognize that this spark exists, and in doing so, you realize you are inherently and divinely lovable.
It’s also about prioritizing self care, because you can’t truly love and serve others unless you’re giving and loving from a place of fullness, rather than depletion.
When you allow your Divine spark to be nurtured and cared for, and when you radiate that Divine spark out into the world – LOOK OUT WORLD.
That’s how mighty you are and how much you have to give.
Who is that Divine spark within you?
Yup. You guessed it.
Humbly raising my hand,
Your Inner Pilot Light!!!!
