MOVING TOWARDS BALANCE
MOVING TOWARDS HARMONY
We all know the basic five senses: hearing, smell, touch, taste, and seeing. We filter the information that gives shape to our thinking through these five senses. Our actions and opinions are the result of the information we get through these five senses. Then there is the sixth sense, called “intuition,” or intuitive mind (right-sided brain), then comes the “logical mind,” or analytical mind, and I will call it the seventh sense. Intuition cannot be replaced by analysis, and each sense has its role to perform. In another sense, analysis is complementary to intuition, just as yin and yang are interrelated.
In Hindi, ‘intuition’ is known as ‘Antargyan’ or’sehajgyan’, and analysis is called ‘vishleshan’. The sixth sense, or intuition, is sometimes uncontainable and vivacious; for example, a practitioner might get a correct feeling or perception of the patient’s emotional state or life pattern during the consultation or diagnosis. In the same way, when treating the patient, the practitioner or healer may get a strong sense that he must use a certain treatment protocol, which then proves to be curing and effective. This is called ‘sixth sense’ or intuition. On the other hand, analysis can be strengthened through intuition, which comes in subtle or silent ways and is collected through physical sensations, quiet premonitions, dreams, and abstract ideas. When combined with information and learning theories or hypotheses, this intuitive knowledge can make a useful combo. We must understand the importance of understanding the theories so that we can differentiate them and grasp them better. However, we should keep a balance between intuition and analysis; otherwise, we will wander in either intuition or analysis. Wandering too much in intuition can lead to overthinking, and while doing analysis, we might go to extremes of detail, leading to mental exhaustion and stress.
We can develop and sharpen our sixth sense with a deep understanding of how our mind and body function as a balanced system. This understanding leads to the path of the eight senses or state of harmony and balance, that is, our aptitude for health and fitness, from chaos to order. Our physical bodies are driven by this aptitude or natural ability, which starts the moment we enter this world and remains active throughout our whole life on this earth.
This sense, or our natural ability to move towards harmony, has been discovered through research (Jordon, 2002) that when the body is released from past conditioning and judgment, it has an innate wisdom about moving towards harmony and health. Just like the way we listen to our inner feelings and sensations by tapping into the sixth sense, we have to explore the link to reach the harmonious state, or ‘eight sense’. This harmonious state is the direction in which our bodies are moving.
HOW TO AWAKE THE SENSE OF HARMONY AND HEALTH INSIDE YOU.
The first step towards awakening is getting a sense of self-authority back to yourself. Don’t let others take your decisions, and to awaken the giant within, one must ignore all of the outside sources of incoming information and look deep down within themselves. In other words, the center of control should be internal rather than external. Some call this inner source God, the higher self, or whatever you want to name it. In Chinese medicine, this source of energy is called Yuan Qi, or Source Qi. The five senses: Hearing is related to the kidneys, eyes to the liver, tongue to the heart, nose to the lungs, and mouth to the spleen. The intuitive mind, or right-sided brain, is linked with the liver gallbladder, while the analytical mind, or left-sided brain, is linked with the spleen. Willpower is connected to the kidney organ, intellect to the spleen, planning to the liver organ, and spirit resides in the heart. Taking back authority to oneself is not easy.
