I touched on the idea that problems are symptoms in last ezine and want to take the concept a step further. This is tenet of holistic healing and there are many ways that it is expressed and used. Recently, a colleague shared this with in the most simple and clear language yet. Are you ready?

The problem is the solution. Let me explain. We, as a whole person (Spirit, Mind, Emotions and Body) create a solution to every problem we encounter. It may not be the best solution. It will be the quickest and strongest. Le me give you an example which every hypoglycemic knows. When blood sugar drops, we will eat anything in reach to bring the blood sugar back up. Ideally, we would eat protein and balance the sugar levels appropriately. No, food now, is the order of business. An immediate solution is needed.

This works the same in every aspect of our lives, from small to catastrophic. So, if you complain about being tired, the tiredness you experience is your whole self’s solution to a deeper issue. It may be the alcohol that you drank without eating food. It may be the thing you are worrying about that so that you did not properly rest and heal your body. It may be something that will take time to discover. Look beyond the complaint and easy answer.

I hear some of you asking, “What about a bigger issue such as having your car stolen?” The same applies. My car being stolen was a solution to a deeper problem. And no, I don’t have total insight with it, yet. I am looking and asking and working on things as they come up, which always takes me a step further into understanding the bigger picture. Big things can be an adventure while, at the same time, be frustrating.

Our whole selves show us, on a moment-by-moment basis, our truth. You have thousands of examples and need only to pay attention. I think that is one of the coolest and most magical things about being human. Since this simple truth was brought into focus, I have looked at my life differently. Every time something is wrong, I look at that problem as my personal solution and work backwards to the real issue.

It has given me amazing insight into how I work from the inside out. I have seen family patterns, things I know have come from past lives and understand blocks I never realized I had. I have asked for help (and received it) with healing those issues. I have laughed heartily and often at myself. I have learned to listen with a keener ear. I have learned to not judge the manifested problem. I have more freedom, am feeling stronger and beginning to feel more in control of my life.

Play with this information. Look at your problems as solutions and work backward. Have the courage and adventuresome spirit to look deeper into your world. You may be absolutely astonished with what you discover about yourself. Ask for help when you need it. You will be healthier. You will be more integrated. You will flourish. You may even be happier.

Blessings to you on this adventure.
