Subconscious Programming and Constipation (Sally) [Dynamic Self-Discovery]

[Guest guest]

Hi Sally,

 

My backlog cleanup continues, and I find this unfinished conversation with

you. I realize that your habits have probably evolved since this

conversation began, and that what I say here may therefore be a bit outdated

for you. Still, I hope that you and perhaps others may benefit.

 

You write:

___

I have always considered that emotions could play a major role in my

diagnosis, as I was diagnosed a couple years after having a miscarriage and

then experiencing the death of our 17-day-old son who was never conscious

during his life. Uh, yes, I have always considered that an option.

___

I would frame this somewhat differently, letting go of the word " diagnosis "

and using " emotions " differently. It sounds as if you have some very painful

feelings stored in your memory--pain, loss/grief, guilt, shame, perhaps

more--that you've never made time to address and/or never known HOW to

address (possibly more the latter than the former??). And it sounds like you

may be " stuck " , as many people would express it, unable to move forward in

many areas of your life because a large focus of your attention remains

riveted on the past, on these unresolved feelings and the decisions you made

(beliefs you formed) through the experiences that led to the feelings. Much

of this, of course, is stored in your subconscious mind, substantively

inaccessible from your conscious awareness. And so you create experience

after experience, each time repeating the general structure and

frustration/disappointment of what has occurred in the past.

 

Am I on the right track here?

 

If " yes " , then the fastest, and in the long run by far the most

cost-effective, way to resolve all this is by working in and with your

subconscious infrastructure, your most deeply held beliefs, or programming.

I say this because whenever the content in your subconscious mind conflicts

with your consciously chosen goals, values, beliefs, etc., your subconscious

mind almost always " wins " . In effect, you go through life as a

semi-automaton, possessing the raw capacity we call " free will " , yet never

successfully " getting on top of things " and exercising that free will as you

would so love to do.

 

How might this relate to constipation?

 

Perhaps you are familiar with the expression " scared shitless " . When we

feel terrified, particularly when this occurs repeatedly and early in life

(age 6-7 or younger), we may learn to " hold it all in " . Why? Because then we

can more attentively monitor our surroundings for potential danger. I know

this sounds a bit ridiculous, and from a conscious adult perspective, it is

ridiculous. But from the perspective of a small child, it is all too real. I

have helped a number of small children resolve chronic constipation by

helping them resolve fears ... and often by working with others in their

families, as well.

 

As we go through life, we never arrive at a point where we resolve the

garbage that went into our subconscious when we were vary young. And so we

carry that programming ... AND the corresponding behaviors ... with us

wherever we go.

 

How can we address such a " buildup " of legacy beliefs and behaviors? As I've

mentioned in several writings, here, by working directly with our

subconscious programming. If you wish to learn more about the distinctions

between our subconscious mind and our conscious awareness, I invite you to

listen to our free audio program, provided by the Path of Health Community,

entitled " Do I Have Two Minds, Or What? !! " . You can download this program

Hope this helps connect the dots a bit!

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Constipation

 

 

" ...1. The cause of your constipation is dietary. From your brief message,

below, we have no information about what you eat ... " going raw " describes

nothing at all ... and it is possible that your version of a raw diet is

quite constipating. Also, we have no information about you. For example,

if you are overweight, then your system is always dehydrated which could

contribute to this situation.

 

2. The cause of your constipation is not dietary, in which case we might

explore emotional and/or other causes.

 

Back to you! ... "

 

When I said " going raw, " I mean that I juice carrots, cucumber, and any

fruit left in the fruit bowl for my family's use from the day before. I am

drinking about 2L of juice per day. Other than that, I eat lots of veggies

and fruits. About once a week, I have had a small amount of cooked food.

 

As for my over all health, I am about 50 pounds over weight. I am 46 years

old.

 

I have always considered that emotions could play a major role in my

diagnosis, as I was diagnosed a couple years after having a miscarriage and

then experiencing the death of our 17-day-old son who was never conscious

during his life. Uh, yes, I have always considered that an option.

 

Does that help?

Pretty sure that expression has entirely the opposite meaning:

It describes the involuntary bowel evacuation often preceding

the flight option in fight-or-flight situations as preparation

for action.
