A practitioner asks: “Many people can create a metaphor to represent experience of physical pain, illnesses or other upset. Presumably anyone can invite metaphors to come into consciousness for any aspects of life – health, wisdom, relationships, etc., from their intuition or imagination. To what extent though can the conscious mind alter the metaphor to achieve a significant healing benefit? For example, if a metaphor occurred of a burning fire as a symbol for a pain in the body would it be beneficial to imaginatively put the fire out, so to speak, using water? Is there benefit to casually using imagery exercises to impact cellular consciousness or karmic cordings to other people, or is this too simplistic?”

Unfortunately, your well-intentioned idea to capitalize on the insights you are gaining about the power of the mind to rework personal history for the better, and gain a healing consequence energetically, is not something that can be done through conscious thought and focus because it is the wrong level of the mind. There must be an opening of the gateway to deeper levels of the mind so the exercise involves them directly. The conscious thoughts are functionally distinct and thus disconnected from other levels of the mind. So while they might be noticed, there will not be an expectation or even understanding necessarily of what the conscious mind is doing and why. So your scheme is a somewhat haphazard way to foster generating a kind of healing stimulus, but unfortunately, would be highly uncertain as to whether it would take, and have the desired impact and specificity. For the most part, the conscious mind does not even know the deeper concerns of the subconscious and deep subconscious, nor of cellular memory. There can be cordings giving rise to thoughts and feelings consciously, but they are the tip of the iceberg. There are many, many, others the conscious mind will not be able to discern nor take an effective series of steps to do just the right things to launch a kind of redefinition energetically, that will go out to the akashic records and neutralize the negativity on storage there.
