Depth Perception
We see with our eyes a certain measure of what is in front of us. For instance, when we are driving, we judge the distance of the cars and objects on the road. Some suffer from a lack of depth perception in making judgements as to the distance and position of what is in front of us, so naturally we are much more careful about what we cannot yet see. This can be literal in physicality, and it can be in levels of awareness of the truth of our true potential in life.
Integral Health is like that, in that understanding this modality of healing is “body-mind-spirit.” The first two words we can fairly well perceive but the spiritual part of our nature is that “great void” where there is so much more to be perceived! Such greater levels of awareness await. You see ads for “reaching your true potential,” but without the spiritual component, the real depth perception won’t materialize in your consciousness.
Practitioners of Integral Health are trained to have a greater “depth perception” of the Whole Human Being (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual archetypes). In that perspective, the practitioner “sees” at the subtle (spiritual) energy level, the level of the aura or biofield and chakras where the true vital energy that sustains the human being exists.
How to perceive something that is based in subtle energy (beyond time/space) yet that which is our true nature? An example is the acupuncturist who measures the various “pulses” of the subtle energy system of the body by touching key points on the wrists of the patient, making assessments of the patient’s physical, mental and emotional health. The acupuncturist “looks beyond” the physical and sees more deeply to the non-physical: their depth perception greatly increased by their intuition!
That can seem such a distant idea to many of us; that only trained practitioners are privy to such a greater depth perception of the whole human being. But we are all composed of spirit and a physical body, simultaneously!
How can you increase your depth perception? One is to connect with your healers who are trained in the subtle arts. They can help empower your self-care from nutrition, meditation, exercise, spiritual practices and more. But to really increase your life’s depth perception is to awaken your intuitive faculties by trusting that they already exist!
The beautiful thing about being is that we are blessed with intuition that is already functioning. Like a muscle, it becomes stronger with faith and trust when used in an appropriate and prescribed manner. To increase your depth perception in life is to become more aware, to behold a deeper comprehension of yourself and your connection to all things.
This is the teachings of ancient, awakened masters. They “saw” with great depth perception the whole human being, bringing forth the array of Integral Health practices so widely available. What was true then, is true now. Are you willing to increase your depth perception?
Doing so garners a deeper appreciation of all life, a reverence for the subtle flow of energy throughout all levels of being. Why is that important? Because it offers you the power of choice through greater depth perception of reality to self-empower and self-realize, leading to a more productive and meaningful life.
