The descriptions below are not a substitute for seeking medical attention. They address only the spiritual component of illness, injury and behaviours. If a description does not fit your situation, use it as a starting point and then work with your guide in meditation to gain more understanding.
| Condition | Spiritual component | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ability to learn Issues that can arise Learning disorders ADD / ADHD | Results from our feelings of worthiness to be alive, to receive nourishment, to receive focused, loving attention, and to participate meaningfully in the family Issues that can arise Learning disorders Can result from any or all of the following:
Change the pattern It may be possible to repair the learning disorder itself in some cases. Meditate to learn the incorrect beliefs about self that produced it and / or arose from it, and replace them with truth and understanding ADD / ADHD Means literally being unable to hold our focus for any longer than a few seconds, and it means literally that we received too little attention as a child. Hyperactivity is a physical response to a desperate need for focused attention Spiritual effects Can manifest as a chronic need for validation from others. See self-esteem Physical effects Ear and hearing issues, eye and vision issues, comprehension and memory problems Change the pattern Work on building a relationship with your inner child. By paying better attention to our needs, we find it easier to pay better attention in daily life. Doing these things gives us something meaningful on which to focus... our happiness. The more we pay attention to our needs, the easier it becomes to focus on others - an extra benefit! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Absenteeism / Tardiness | Absenteeism and chronic lateness are passive/aggressive forms of abandonment in which we are unable or unwilling to meet responsibilities. It is the source of many of life’s difficulties and can infuriate those who are waiting for us, and sometimes that is the whole point. See avoidance, dawdling, defiance, silent rebellion Spiritual effects Unable or unwilling to follow through on commitments, depression Physical effects Arrhythmia, hypothyroidism Change the pattern Meditate to find and resolve the reason for the pattern. Visit WikiHow to Learn how to prioritize Note: Do you know someone who is always late to meet you? Try setting a limit for how long you will wait for them (your choice whether to let them know). Maybe it will be 15 minutes, maybe 30, but stick to whatever you decide and leave after your time limit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accident proneness | Guilt or shame can make us unconsciously seek punishment, or wish to prove that we are not as good as everyone thinks, or that we ought to be punished for doing well if a loved one is a failure. This can manifest in physical as injury-causing accidents that often occur just before our performance is to be judged or tested (fear of failure/success). Injuries are a way to show that we are in pain and distress and in need of nurturing or sympathetic attention. See bruises Change the pattern Build stable self-esteem to enable expression of our emotional needs in a mature way | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Addictions | Physical result of the spiritual desire to avoid pain or run away from truth, from life, from responsibilities. Can be to a chemical substance like food, tobacco, drugs or alcohol, or to a behaviour. See abandonment, obsessive/compulsive behaviours. Spiritual symptoms of advanced addictions vary from telling constant stories about how everybody has 'done me wrong' (victim pattern) to pathological lying, to using guilt trips to manipulate others, to avoiding making decisions Change the pattern Addictions begin as thoughts which in turn create behaviours. Behaviours can be modified, and even, in certain cases, released completely. To bring about such dramatic change requires great strength, determination and commitment, but change is possible. Until the root cause of the need for the addiction has been recognized, resolved and released, the likelihood of recurrence exists. Very often, the root cause is the belief that "God must hate me" (see unconditional love). Excessive gambling can be caused by a chronic need to win (to prove that "God loves me") | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I don't feel like it syndrome | When given an opportunity to do something helpful or productive, we often use the old excuse of, "I don’t feel like it." What we are really saying is, “No”. It is all about power and control, and doing as we have been asked can be seen as a sign of weakness. Saying “I don't feel like it” is the polite way of keeping control and feeling strong. The challenge is to do as asked, even though we may not want to. Instead of telling ourselves that we are already doing enough, make that extra effort. Be prepared to work though, because once we get started, our mindset usually changes and enthusiasm sets in.

Bacterial versus Viral infections The difference between bacterial and viral infections is that some bacterial infections can occur spontaneously. In such a case, the spiritual component is purely from within self and requires no input from the environment to manifest in physical. Communicable infections, whether bacterial or viral, are spread by contact with infected people or contaminated surfaces, air, food or water. With these, the spiritual component arises from within self but the infection requires input from the environment to manifest in physical | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Memory Issues that can arise Alzheimer's disease Dementia Forgetfulness Remembering everything Transient global amnesia Unable to forget | Energetic representations of our life experiences and our reactions to them. Memory is an elusive creature; however, here is a brief explanation of its workings from a spiritual viewpoint. An individual has an experience. A personal memory is created in the brain via the firing of neurons. The memory contains every single detail of the experience, including informational input from the experience itself (who, when, where, why, what, how) and sensory input from the physical organs (sight, smell, sound, taste, touch and thought). Each of the neurons consists of not only a personal, physical memory, but a spiritual or "quantum" memory. The personal memory is stored in the brain, while the quantum memory is stored in the akashic or soul record. Upon physical death of the individual, the life experience is reviewed and the soul is prepared for its next set of required life experiences. The records may be accessed during an incarnation as well as during intervals between incarnations, to review a soul's spiritual progress Issues that can arise Alzheimer’s disease Chronic self-deception. Habitually denying that we played any role in our negative experiences, yet feeling guilt over choices we made that we know had devastating consequences, and/or a strong desire to make everyone believe that we are innocent. In other words, wanting to live in a fairy tale and escape being held responsible (see fear of retribution). The underlying guilt and shame can create a victim mentality and a constant need to blame. See dementia Dementia Progressive inability to function within the boundaries of the lies we tell self and others about the type of person we are or were. See Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease Forgetfulness Often used as an excuse for obsessive/compulsive checking and rechecking. This is not forgetfulness though - this is inability or unwillingness to be in the moment. Can be a means of bringing extra attention to self, as a way of saying, "You are not important enough for me to bother remembering anything about you" or as a way to cover up our mistakes or shortcomings. Habitually using forgetfulness as an excuse can contribute to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. See ADD / ADHD Remembering everything Constantly reminding self of events, losses, experiences, victories or hurts in case they are needed to gain the upper hand in arguments (see guilt trips), or to give us a sense of superiority Transient global amnesia Occurs when we relax into a higher level of consciousness that enables our guide to present information from a past or future life experience that has bearing on our current incarnation. See Akashic records. Contact the author to discuss your experience to gain more clarity Unable to forget Can be triggered by traumatic events. See PTSD | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Menstrual cycle Issues that can arise Adenomyosis Amenorrhea Endometriosis Endometritis Menorrhagia Menometrorrhagia Metrorrhagia Missed periods Premenstrual dysphoric disorder Premenstrual syndrome Uterine fibroids and/or polyps | Signifies the start of a new cycle, a new way of life, or a new opportunity. Can also represent recognition of our limitations, or that we have a pattern of fighting any change suggested by others (see defiance), refusing to go with the flow, or arguing just for the sake of being disagreeable. The cycle can be a guaranteed week or two every month when we can blame our body instead of admitting that we have needs. Like the flu and menopause, this process is often used as an excuse to under-perform or to be mean. Those who have painful cycles may have a victim or a martyr mentality. Such pain, discomfort and other effects can be reduced, or even eliminated, by not allowing self the luxury of using this as an excuse. After all, the Universal Intelligence cooperates with our desires. Some lie and say they have painful cycles even if they do not; this can arise from a desire to play on the sympathies of others, or to escape responsibilities. See infertility, miscarriage, pelvis, pregnancy, uterine fibroids, uterus Issues that can arise Adenomyosis Unresolved pain and agony over our childhood, and/or the children we have or have not had. Agonizing over the sort of parents we had or the sort of parent we have or would have been Amenorrhea If not caused by breastfeeding, pregnancy or menopause: Deep and possibly unrecognized fear of any or all of the following: being an adult with responsibilities, being a female adult, attracting sexual attention, becoming pregnant, giving birth, becoming a parent Endometriosis Needing to control every little thing. Overly dependent on our mate (co-dependent relationship). Holding onto a core belief that is narrow-minded or out-dated Endometritis Unrecognized anger toward self and our part in the reproductive process Menorrhagia Results from a legacy family pattern of cyclic emotional and/or physical abuse toward the family’s female members or its children. This creates an unrecognized belief that life as a woman is all about suffering, with the body cooperating with our expectation. See premenstrual dysphoric disorder Menometrorrhagia Results from a legacy family pattern of cyclic, albeit unpredictable, emotional or physical violence toward the family’s female members or its children. See nose bleeds Metrorrhagia Results from a legacy family pattern of cyclic, predictable, emotional or physical violence toward the family’s female members or children Missed periods Can be caused by pregnancy or breast-feeding, eating disorders, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure or an "I give up" attitude, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids Premenstrual dysphoric disorder For some, menstruation is a thing to be dreaded. There can be no comfort because the next cycle is just around the corner, waiting to hurt us. This can result from a family pattern of cyclic, albeit unpredictable, emotional or physical violence toward the family's female members or its children Premenstrual syndrome For some, the monthly cycle is a reminder of all that is wrong in their life. The weight of such a concern manifests as an increased emotional burden which in turn creates physical discomfort Uterine fibroids and/or polyps Represent stifled creativity along with a desire for a life-changing experience and yet a fear of the unknown

See intermittent explosive disorder, stress Aggressive/passive behaviour Obnoxious behaviour designed to force others into submission. This childish, abusive pattern results from growing up in an extremely controlled household or an environment with no boundaries at all. The aggressive phase can manifest as shouting orders, criticisms or guilt trips, throwing temper tantrums, threatening physical or financial assault, or abandonment. When the victim submits and becomes obedient and docile, the passive phase then begins. The aggressor shows mercy by showering the victim with affection, warmth and praise, giving gifts or rewards and generally being sweet and attentive... until the next time. The passive phase lures the victim into a false sense of security, and can even create a guilty feeling for ever having doubted the aggressor Spiritual effects Pathological lying, greed, self-righteousness, distrust Physical effects High blood pressure, dental problems (can result in total tooth loss), laziness or hoarding Change the pattern If this behaviour is an issue for you, either as aggressor or as victim, visit Section 2 to start changing your life Bi-polar disorder Seemingly never-ending cycle of extreme self-approval and extreme self-hatred - usually in direct response to another's words or actions that have been taken as either a reward or a personal attack.

Borderline Personality Disorder Profound sense that one was, is, and always will be, a failure, and incapable of 'correct' thought or action. Often comes as a result of a child having every choice controlled by others or of having no one to provide guidance, in other words, no experience of what it is like to make right or wrong choices in a safe learning environment. This can result in a nearly complete lack of self-trust, along with anger at the imposed control of others and fear of having that control removed (fear of abandonment). See inner conflict Chronic confusion Can be caused by habitual repetition of negative thoughts, or by believing the constant criticism from our caregivers or loved ones. Too many people to please. See fear of looking stupid Change the pattern Check out spiritual decluttering and do the self-esteem exercise Conduct disorder Chronic feelings of intense rage and indignation over our life situation, along with a belief that it will never change because those who are responsible for us, those who should care the most, are hurting - not helping - us Depression Depression is not a constant state , being more like waves on the ocean. Just as we are recovering from a bout, a new experience can trigger another episode. Depression can become a reflex reaction to a specific experience, like making a mistake (whether anyone else knows about it), disappointing someone, or someone saying "no" to us. Until the root cause has been recognized and dealt with, the condition can only be managed. Depression is based in our self-worth and self-esteem. A wave of depression often occurs if we feel that we have lost the approval of someone who is very important to us. If our sense of self is completely wrapped up in that individual, as can happen when living or working in co-dependent relationships, we feel we will lose our identity without their approval. We will do almost anything to cope with our sense of loss and deprivation. Usually this means doing any number of negative behaviours in the hope of getting that person to help us recover and buy back into the relationship. Then, we tell ourselves, everything will be ok again. And it will be, for a little while. Until, almost from out of the blue, another experience will trigger another wave of self-hatred. Then we are right back where we started … punishing and hurting self ... going on a binge of alcohol or drug usage, starving ourselves or overeating / purging, withholding communication, shopping for things we do not need with money we do not have, cutting ourselves until we bleed, contemplating or attempting suicide, stopping doing the things we truly love to do … oh, the list is endless. There is another way to live, but it means changing how we relate to others, and more importantly, how we relate to ourselves. It means becoming aware of - and changing - our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, beliefs and desires. If depression is hurting your quality of life, see choose a pattern
Help-rejecting complainer Living from one catastrophe or heartache to the next and, although seeming to want help to change their seemingly dire situation, resisting any suggestions that could help. They say things like "I've tried that already." "That won't work for me because..." "Nothing ever works right for me." Exasperating for us, but even more so for them. The spiritual component is being stuck in a feedback loop of craving sympathetic attention and recognition for all of their suffering, but needing to keep on suffering to justify their compulsion.

Belief that it is not enough to win - everyone else has to lose. Chronic refusal to give others a chance to speak. The pattern often leads to isolation, as very few people want to be around someone who is unwilling to listen, share the spotlight or give credit to another; however, if the narcissist happens to hold a position of power or authority, many are only too eager to forego their personal needs and sell out in favour of self-promotion. See self-importance Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Hiding our anguish and futile rage over being unable to change certain situations creates a chronic need to do something, anything, to divert our attention from them. OCD behaviours result, since doing a behaviour, even if self-destructive, or repeating certain thoughts, allows us to feel as if we have a bit of control. See addiction Obsessive/Compulsive Behaviours Unable to cope with life without doing certain routines when certain things have happened, or a seemingly uncontrollable urge to repeat a behaviour, whether it is acted out. Often done in response to repression or suppression of strong emotions, to gain some measure of control when we feel like a victim. Form of addiction that can be as difficult to treat as chemical dependency; however, if dedicated to healing self, tremendous change is possible. Before repeating any behaviour, it is important to remember that we have the ability to choose. See free will, obsessive/compulsive disorder, perfectionism Physical effects Self-soothing by using substances or behaviours to excess.

My negative life experiences result because of them, not because of Me.

| Motor neuron diseases Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Kennedy’s Disease Post-polio syndrome (PPS) Primary Lateral Sclerosis Progressive Bulbar Palsy Progressive Muscular Atrophy Spinal Muscular Atrophy | Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), adult-onset Denying our chronic, desperate need to avoid discussing painful issues or sensitive subjects, yet yearning to bring them out into the open. The issue here is fighting with self over whether to discuss something that is important to us or keep it hidden. Of course we all have reasons for wanting to avoid discussing some subjects; often it is because we think others will react poorly when we raise topics that they themselves wish to avoid. This not knowing which topics are safe to discuss - the indecision - creates a push-pull effect on the body. Nerves and muscles are unconsciously tightened and relaxed at a furious pace, creating unimaginable strain on the systems. After many years of living with this pattern, damage occurs at cellular level. The body is eventually unable to cope and ALS results. Not everyone with this issue develops ALS (see Primary Lateral Sclerosis). For those with ALS, the behaviour is severe, chronic and long-standing. It is not just one topic that is avoided - the indecision manifests in all choices of topics to share or avoid discussing. Those that are discussed that meet with negative responses or reactions cause us to judge, criticise and condemn self for making trouble. Those that are kept hidden remain in the thoughts creating further damage. The challenge is to change the pattern, that is, to share and discuss what is important to us and to keep hidden that which we do not yet wish to disclose, in the knowledge that we cannot control how others react. Their reactions are just that - their reactions If inherited See birth abnormalities and What is karma?
