For many years, I have believed in the concept of cellular intelligence. Thankfully, other scientists are not only having this epiphany, but are willing to face the inevitable backlash that comes from openly embracing a concept that flies in the face of modern scientific thought. Regardless of the advances made in quantum theory, the very mechanical, Newtonian view of the universe still prevails overall.

In the beginning of my practice over 25 years ago, I would see the body do incredible things that were beyond explanation.  Over time, I started sharing my theories with the students I taught. Hypothecizing that cells do have intelligence, language, communication, cellular cognition, and an inherent desire to reproduce their functional physiology into the world just like our basic human desires to have children. It is my strong belief that cells have the desire to replicate their functionality in our external environments to make our lives more efficient. What if cells have some form of communication and cognition and they are capable of putting ideas into our minds of how they themselves work thereby being the engineers of our inventions and the brain is the drafter creating the plan? Working together to create those things which help us in our lives by replicating the actual cellular systems of our body.   We are only now beginning to understand the brain, yet we invented the first computer during WWII which replicated brain function long before we understood the neuroscience behind it. Ask yourself how does that happen?

There are many other examples of this same phenomena as well.  I also go as far as to state cells have language and a form of cognition we do not understand yet.  How does a thought get into our minds?  Perhaps our cells are the engineers and the mind is just the blueprint that they are drawing upon.  Perhaps science has it wrong.  Perhaps there are multiple intelligence centers in our bodies instead of just the brain as science has thought for centuries.  The brain being the drafter and again the cells being the engineer which the drafter depends on to do its job.  

Bruce Lipton began sharing his ideas some years ago, and his thoughts have often echoed my own. Each cell is its own individual being, that completes all of its own life functions. But these cells have evolved to live in a thriving and harmonious community with other cells.

According to Dr. Lipton, “There is not one function in the human body that is not already present in every single cell. For example, you have various systems: digestive, respiratory, excretory, musculoskeletal, endocrine, reproductive, a nervous system and an immune system but every one of those functions exists in every one of your cells. In fact we are made in the image of a cell.”

Over the years, I have taught my students that these cells have language, a desire to procreate and an understanding all of their own on a micro-level which replicates our macro-level understanding of the world around us.  

Imagine that. You  replicate a cell. You are fifty trillion, living, breathing, acting, thinking cells working together in harmony to live as one organism. And what do you think happens when one or more of those cells becomes disharmonized with its fellow cells? That is when disease begins.

Given that these cells are fully intelligent they are in constant communication with one another, and with you, or rather, they are you—they can tell each other when something is not right. Not only that, but they know what needs to happen in order for them to become reharmonized with every other cell to create balance in our bodies and heal ourselves from the inside out.

Bodyworkers and graduates of ATIT are taught to listen to their intuition in order to “hear” what these cells are trying to communicate. When an Integrative Meridian Therapist is working with your meridians, acupressure points, foundation, fascia and other systems, they are taking a multifaceted approach to following your cells’ instructions on how to rebalance, or reharmonize the body systems that are in dis-ease. Working multiple systems at the same time allows balance and healing to occur much more quickly than if only one system was being touched.

It is when these systems are in harmony with one another that your fifty-trillion cells thrive. When those fifty-trillion cells are thriving, that is when you experience health, harmony, and balance.    

Until next time...

Have you ever felt a tingle on the back of your neck when someone was behind you? Have you ever heard the phone ring, and knew exactly who was on the other end? Or have you had a “gut feeling” that a person or a situation was dangerous? 

We have all had those experiences, although we may struggle to explain why. Some people try to claim that it’s a ‘power’ that few possess, when there is really nothing mystical or magical about it. The ‘power’ those people hold is the ability to listen when another person’s body is trying to communicate with their own. Every person’s body is equipped with communication abilities, other than just speech or touch. We all emit signals, from thoughts to feelings, about our intentions. 

Brain waves, and waves that come from other internal organs, differ from radio waves only in their frequency. It is all electromagnetic energy, making its way out from the source and toward a receiver. Whether that receiver is a radio or a person. Radio waves and other communicative waves that we are familiar with travel at a frequency of between 50 and 1000 Mhz (50 million to 1 billion cycles per second), while brain waves are in the 10 to 100 cycles per second range. 

In class, I have been teaching students for decades that intuition is really an electromagnetic form of communication between two people that some people are more skilled at listening to than others. Ultimately, everyone can learn to hear and intuit in this way.  It's simply a matter of learning and then understanding a new language.

Take police officers.  Police officers develop this ability, though they do not necessarily understand what they are tapping into. They are constantly scanning their neighborhoods for malicious intent. Ask any police officer on any given night and they will tell you their gut feeling about what kind of night it is going to be. When criminals are plotting, that intention is being transmitted by their bodies/brain waves and picked up by the police officers. The police may not know what is going to happen, or where, but they do know something is imminent. They develop this ability because they are taught early on in their career to listen to their gut instinct; something most of us are often taught to ignore.  This gut instinct is related to the vagal nerve and part of how we transmit and receive through our brain waves.

MIT developed a machine, called the Magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner, to isolate and measure brain waves. The machine is in a room that is shielded by mu metal, making interference from outside electromagnetic waves impossible. The lab has been open since 2011 and so far, they have measured the brain’s electromagnetic response to multiple kinds of stimuli, proving that different experiences cause the brain to emit different messages. 

This silent communication is exactly what energetic bodywork practitioners are tapping into when they work with an individual and their body systems. From reflexology, to acupressure, to integrative meridian therapy, to somatic trauma release... these modalities, synergistically combined with a willingness to hear what a person’s body is trying to say, is what facilitates the healing process.  Advanced Bodyworker's can train and learn these extremely subtle forms of communication.  

What a wondrous time we live in where science has caught up to the internal & healing arts of Asian Martial Arts practices.  Science is now proving what bodywork practitioners have known and practiced for centuries.

Until next time...
