Keeping to Time is a Medicine
Time and space in ancient practices are part of the healing process. And in this blog article I will focus on how keeping to time is a part of medicine and healing as well.
Punctuality
In Asian culture, it seems that most people think lateness is a norm, as we can observe in traditional banquets where the actual dinner can start 1 to 2 hours later than as printed on the invitation cards. However that is never the case in practices, healing and treatments.
In the yogic and spiritual practices, time is held as upmost importance and a part of personal discipline and practice. Because time is life. Come later than 5 min for your class and you will be barred from entering the room.
Same for treatments. However it seems that patients have thought that by going for treatments, they are being SERVED. Well, hell no. In fact in real, non-commercialised traditional treatment practices, the patient hold half the responsibility for getting better. The patient and the practitioner work together, not the practitioner serve and pamper you to heal.
So keeping to time for your treatments is a way of practice and part of healing as well.
One can get ill because of disorders in their body systems. And what is happening inside is usually reflective on the outside. Vice versa, by changing the outside, you can bring changes to the inside.
In my practice observation, keeping to time in all their daily commitments seem to be a challenge for the patients who are imbalanced.
Observing punctuality in your treatment and healing sessions is one channel to get you balance. It may seem insignificant, but definitely all these subtle and minute areas that you can bring healing faster and more effective to yourself. Keep to your time and you will find your life change to be more orderly and better too.
Last Minute Cancellations
This not only applies to clinical settings but even day to day relationships. But in this context I’ll focus on the clinical aspects.
I cannot emphasize on how last minute cancellations are disruptive to your ownself but also the practitioner’s time for others. Again we are seeing patients who put other priorities in life ahead of them instead of self care when these happen.
But in last minute cancellations, the energetic reverberations are much bigger as it affects the other party as well.
In clinical settings, last minute cancellations mean that you void the time of the practitioner for other patients who are in need
Energetically this is taking away essence of life.
In ancient medicine, there are sayings “What you give out comes back to you; what you have taken shall be removed from you, multiplied and folded over.”
So learn to commit and put yourself first, and if all else fails, inform early.
Ability to keep to treatment frequencies
In clinical practices, it should be the practitioner giving the advice of how many and how frequent the treatments are needed.
In my clinical experience, patients who are really off and not in their body cannot keep to treatment sessions as advice as well. Most of the time, they will have multiple excuses to make taking care of themselves not a priority.
The cure is there, but usually it is the patient themselves who self sabotage and brush themselves aside. And they lose power to others by bringing themselves last to the list.
So by keeping to the treatment frequencies is one of the first steps to regain power back to ownself, to become healed from the deepest core.
