Questions for Carla

"I've done a lot of emotional work, like 'Course of Miracles,' centered on forgiveness?"

Forgiveness plays a big part in healing. It is hard to get past guilt or shame until you understand why you behaved the way you did and what really happened to you. How can you truly forgive others until you know precisely what you're trying to forgive them for? Otherwise, you'll be set up to fail, when someone pushes your button, leaving you to exclaim, "I thought I had gotten over that and forgiven him!" Then you feel like a failure because you're not kind, loving, or spiritual enough to forgive. What didn't you clear out or don't understand about what you suffered? For example, you forgave your mother for being an alcoholic but what about all the embarrassment, anger, fear, and disappointment that her behavior caused you? Do you remember WHAT IT FELT LIKE AS A CHILD? Your subconscious mind does, but that may not be REAL until you feel it in your body because that's where the emotions were stuffed when you were a child. Or did you get to discuss all this with someone and let all of your feelings out? Another problem with focusing on forgiving someone is this attitude feeds the ego and places you in a position of superiority. Often you may feel more compassionate, giving, patient, or loving than the person in need of your forgiveness. Once you have resolved a problem, there is no longer any need for forgiveness, and you don't have to keep re-enacting the drama, being on guard, or worrying about your buttons being pushed. You can truly let it go.

There is a strange concept circulating amongst self-help circles called Radical Forgiveness, in that if you truly forgive a person or event, it did not happen! Phoof! This gives new meaning to the term denial.

"I have some other issues that I didn't note on your form. Should I just write them down & bring on the next appointment?
Remember, my philosophy is that I don’t TREAT symptoms as my healing efforts are focused on helping to bring you into alignment and release muscular tension so that you can heal yourself. Therefore, it’s really not necessary for clients to tell me about all of their physical problems. Naturally, I am delighted when ailments are healed, but my primary focus is centered on helping people to feel stronger and more balanced in their lives, and connected to their Inner Source.

This is just to let you know I appreciated the treatment a week ago. I have been integrating the experience. I am still working with a wonderful polarity therapist as a case study.
Sounds good. When I began this work I used polarity therapy with excellent results. However, most people could not HOLD the healing due to the high frequency of energy, and the unresolved emotional factors underlying the ailment, not to mention still being out of alignment, and thereby, expending even more energy on fighting gravity. Thankfully, I discovered that the majority of health problems are caused by spastic muscles and emotional shock conflicts. Therefore, my work focuses on bringing people out of shock via the alignment (by lifting the consciousness up from the brain stem to the neo-cortex/human-spiritual brain) and releasing muscle spasms which must be done gently as to avoid driving the spasms deeper into other muscles and organs. This is often the cause of fibromyalgia.

When muscular tension has been gently released, lactic acid is often dumped into the surrounding tissues which may result in SORENESS. In general, the bigger the reaction post-session, the more healing was needed. Therefore, I hope you are feeling good and have a better appreciation for the stress that was held in your body in the form of tense and “defensive” (from the backstabbing co-worker) muscles. It was vital for you to realize that you didn’t feel safe at work. I’m glad that you’ve devised an appropriate (short and real) affirmation to change the way you are feeling so that you are no longer a victim.

My mom talked about the Eckart Tolle book, 'The New Earth,' again but really doesn't say anything. She doesn't get it? Can the ego so want to be part of a big mass experience by Tolle and Oprah that it chooses to be part of the in group and not even know what it is truly about? And can it be that everyone's ego is so strong that it excludes those who aren't on board with the experiment? Yikes!

I recently met a fellow who has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease/Amymtrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Could he benefit from seeing you?
Remember, I only help people to heal themselves, so any condition can be healed. The shock conflict for ALS is feeling trapped or stuck in one's life, and physically-- muscle spasms! You knew that was coming. I should be able to help him. Ask him if he had an accident and/or pulled a muscle. The unreleased muscle spasms may have spread into the rest of the body (muscles).
