Our History is Stored in Our Connective Tissue
There is scientific evidence that suggests each of our
cells has its own intelligence.
One example of this is the research from
Albrecht Buehler Ph.D. who says:
“My research for the past 30 years or so was devoted
to examining whether cells have such signal integration and control centre(s).
The results suggest that mammalian cells, indeed possess intelligence.”
His research documents that cells have the
ability to see and respond to light as well as possessing special awareness,
and can change their direction towards a different object if required. Other
research indicates that each cell in our body contains traces of cerebrospinal
fluid and can function like a mini brain containing a definite level of intelligence.
Bruce H. Lipton PhD discusses the matter of
intelligence in each of our cells in detail in his book Biology of Belief. In
one of his interviews about his book he says:
“We think of
ourselves as a singular entity, but the reality is that we are an interactive
community of 50 trillion individual cells. It is their technology and their
intelligence that created us. The reflection of their intelligence is in their
technology—they can manage their environment and manage their world with
technologies that we haven’t even comprehended yet”.
As a therapist myself, having specialized in
post-traumatic stress disorders for ten years, I am constantly witnessing how
much unconscious memory is stored and can be held by our connective tissue, and
how intelligent this tissue memory is.
The body’s inner self-healing ability seems to
play an integral part within this process, as well as it seems to be an
intelligence in action, which aims for a resolution and completion of the
bio-emotional process.
Every force that is impacting on our body has to be
dealt with in one way or another by our physical system.
If it is a light
force, like someone accidentally bumping into us in a crowded department store,
we might be pushed slightly off balance, but otherwise our body can easily deal
with this impacting force.
The energy of such a nominal impact will go
straight through our body and won’t leave any traces behind. But if we happen
to walk down a flight of stairs and accidentally miss one of the steps, the
impact of the force of that fall might not only lead to a lower back injury and
some bruising, but the physical and emotional trauma that fall has caused, will
be stored within the connective tissue. The energy of the impact of the fall
will enter our body and instead of travelling all the way through it to
dissipate on the opposite side again, it will enter and be directed along a
certain vector and will get stuck somewhere in the connective tissue.
The place where it gets stuck is usually quite a
bit further away from the actual injury. The same is the case regarding the
impact of forces like surgery, food poisoning, any verbal abuse or physical
abuse as well as sexual abuse or severe illnesses.
Most of these extreme impacts force us into a
state of shock and, depending on its severity, we may not remember a thing
afterwards. People describe this experience as if a large part of themselves
froze in time and was paralyzed during the traumatic experience. What they
might be left with after the physical injuries have healed and their life has
gone back to normal, are feelings of anxiety, minor to major changes in behavior
that can be triggered by certain situations or unexpected circumstances.
Severe trauma causes our mind to blank and can
lead to complete loss of memory of what actually happened. This can result in
experiences of paranoia, feelings of being polluted within, aversions to touch
and affection as well as mood swings and phases of deep depression.
To therapists those areas of trauma are called active
lesions manifesting as hardened tissue within the body’s connective tissue
structure. And once those lesions are detected and palpated, they usually
display a specific movement pattern.
By applying specific tissue release techniques
to these active lesions, as well as simultaneously implementing very specific
non-invasive therapeutic dialoguing and imagery techniques, the client’s tissue
gently will reveal and shift the dormant memory up into the field of the
client’s awareness, to enable the person to release the stored energy the
traumatic experience had caused in the past. In time, and with regular
treatment sessions, the symptoms that had been causing a lot of problems to the
client’s wellbeing completely cease to exist.
The capacity of tissue memory is vast and very
precise. Nothing is forgotten, yet not everything is required to be remembered.
But rest assured, only what we no longer need, and only what is of no further
constructive use to us will be brought up to the surface by our self-healing
faculty, that forms part of this amazingly intelligent organism called our
physical body.
Organ transplantations and obvious changes in behavior
of the organ receivers, has attracted the attention of the medical world.
Candace Pert78says:
“Memories are stored not only in
the brain, but in a psychosomatic network extending into the body, all the way
out along pathways to internal organs and the very surface of our skin.”
She discovered neuropeptides79 in
all different kinds of tissue and fascia, which gave rise to her conclusion that:
“...through cellular receptors, thoughts
or memories may remain unconscious or can become conscious-raising the
possibility of physiological connections between memories, organs and the
mind.”
Paul Pearsall, MD, a psycho-neuro-immunologist and author of The
Heart’s Code, has researched the transference of memories through organ
transplantation. After interviewing nearly 150 heart and other organ transplant
recipients, Pearsall proposes the idea that cells of living tissue have the
capacity to remember.
University of Arizona scientists
and co-authors of The Living Energy Universe, Gary Schwartz PhD, and
Linda Russek PhD, propose the universal living memory hypothesis in which they
believe that:
“...all systems stored energy
dynamically and this information continued as a living, evolving system after
the physical structure had deconstructed.”
Schwartz and Russek believe this may
explain how the information and energy from the donor’s tissue can be present,
consciously or unconsciously, in the recipient.80
To summarize:
•
We can say
that the ability to store memory might not only be exclusive to the brain and
its neurons, but also to different tissue types throughout the body.
• Then we can say that this newly researched cell memory
ability does not only store trauma caused by an external physical or psycho-
emotional force, it stores all the memory and the blueprint of different states
of consciousness.
• Furthermore we can say that the impact gamma wave
activity has on our cells and different types of tissue requires further
research, yet the impact of gamma wave activity on permanent changes in brain
function does not require further proof.
• And finally we can say, that increased memory of
higher states of consciousness in our cells, might play a major part in the
formation of something, which is not subject to change within induced by
objectless meditation.
• And we can say that regular
meditation can have a powerful impact on the way we assimilate and integrate
the stored memory, which was brought up to the surface by the connective tissue
while it processed towards release.
Suggestion:
If you have the feeling that you are inhibited
by certain Somato-Emotional, or Psycho-Somatic patterns to develop into your
full potential, it might be worth considering talking to someone who is
specialized in post-traumatic stress disorders. The relief and freedom you
might gain out of a few sessions with an experienced therapist can be
phenomenal. Throughout this process you only rid yourself of something you no
longer need that is not conducive to you and your life anymore.
