I picked them from the same tree, on the same day. One has smooth edges, while the other is spiky.
Why would that
be?
The leaves with smooth edges were the first to grow on this holly tree. Then, in winter, deer in the area get hungry with very little food around – and they start eating holly leaves.
The holly tree doesn’t like it much, of course … if all its leaves are eaten, there’s nothing to help it produce food
for itself and it will die!
So - the holly has learnt to adapt to this ‘external stress’ in this way: It starts producing very spiky leaves, so that the deer find it inedible – and voila, the tree gets to keep its leaves and it survives!
This phenomenon is called ‘phenotypic
plasticity’.
The tree didn’t make a mistake, and neither is it diseased.
It cleverly adapted a part of itself, to survive. The ‘program’ to be able to do that was already inside of the holly tree – it was just switched on the moment deer started to much on the yummy leaves one winters
day.
Biological programs in our bodies too
That’s more or less what happens when we encounter a stressor in our lives. Our bodies have the miraculous capacity and capability to adapt a specific organ or tissue, to help us (the whole organism) survive the
stressor.
Our bodies have biological special programs built in, to cope with and handle stress situations, by adapting specific organs in specific ways. Those changes can help the organism (our bodies) to survive the temporary stress situation.
The ultimate aim is for the body to return to balance and full
health.
Those changes in our bodies can of course be very scary and usually, we call it a disease or illness. And sometimes, unfortunately we get stuck in the process, it turns chronic or very serious… and we start losing hope.
New Offering: Meta Consciousness Health Analysis
My work as a certified Meta Consciousness Practitioner will help my clients understand how this process of adaptation works in the human body in general, and exactly how and why their specific dis-ease (illness) started.
So far, it has been extremely enlightening for the clients I’ve worked with.
A recent comment after a ‘Mini Meta Health Analysis’ session:
“Thanks again Liesel, I got such a sense of how valuable this could be for your clients (especially when combined with the tapping and other skills). Even that mini-session had a big impact on me.” (Simon Berkowitz).
In my own life, it’s lead to a lot of relief and peace around all sorts of symptoms. I’ve also had miraculous mini-healings because of understanding what my body was trying to do.
That enabled me to help it along so the process could complete, and return me to health in those areas.
I have looked to Mother Nature so often in times of distress and have found wonderful wisdom and support there. With illness and dis-ease, the understanding that our bodies are always in an intelligent process has been extremely comforting to me and the clients I have worked
with.
Celebration: Three Gift Sessions
