《自律養生實踐家之旅263》 自由.尊嚴.現在.自己
每當我談起幾種與癌症相關的情緒記憶時,幾乎所有聆聽者都能坦然接受。有些人是因為本就相信情緒與疾病的關聯,有些人則因為信任我而願意相信。
這些致病情緒的分類,不是來自實證科學的統計,而是長期臨床與生命觀察的結晶。
主要包括三種情緒:憤怒、悲傷,以及被拒絕。未列入恐懼,因為恐懼指向的是未來與未知,而非過往的記憶儲存。
接受這些科學無法驗證的論述,或許是一種直覺的選擇。
人類的直覺,其實是自然法則與靈性閱歷的回聲,不是對錯的問題,而是關乎真假的辨識。
你必須相信自己的直覺,那是真正的精準,多少受過科學訓練的大腦,最後敗在長期忽視的直覺之下。
科學無法駕馭直覺,就如同化學最終敵不過物理:前者是人造,後者是自然;前者靠數據,後者是真實的存在現象。
回到記憶本身,它其實可以簡單分為兩類:快樂與不快樂。
仔細想想,你常回憶的是哪些?是歡樂的片段,還是揮之不去的遺憾與痛苦?
若以統計學客觀分析過去記憶的情緒傾向,再對照醫院重症的比例,你會發現:疾病的根源來自於過去的情緒殘留。
那些讓你憤怒的事已經過去,那些讓你悲傷的時刻也已經遠去,曾被拒絕的委屈都是可以忘卻的片段。
只在意倒掉家中的垃圾,卻將情緒垃圾長年留存;每天坐在馬桶上排掉生理廢物,未必知道如何清理深層的心理廢物。
總是讓過去在體內盤踞,最終引來身心的重病。更諷刺的是,這個世界熱衷於創造生病的環境,因為「疾病」早已變成了一門生意。
我曾經對學員說:「把心裡的痛說出來,就是一種清理。」
得到的回覆是:「說出來了,可是它還在我心裡啊。」
我告訴他,那表示你還沒說得夠深、夠痛快,那就繼續說,繼續找人傾訴。
這不只是心理諮商的語言,而是一種生命的練習:將過去的情緒轉化為當下的覺醒,才能在此時刻下幸福的印記。
若你只想解決「現在的問題」,你將永遠困在本質上是過去問題的「現在的問題」。
只有當你的直覺能喚醒智慧,現在的思維才有可能規避未來的難題。
畢竟,我們此刻所遭遇的困難,其實都是過去未處理的殘局,而這樣的生命狀態,是對未來失去希望的「病態生命」。
曾經站在惡性循環的大門口,直覺告訴我要拒絕進入。
我選擇放下那些沉重的包袱,即使那意味著可能要和某些親情割離。
那是一種破釜沉舟的決心,一種選擇「為自己而活」的勇氣。
我當時並不知道,那一刻其實同時也是「為自己的健康而活」的契機,那是生與死的十字路口,也是健康與重病的分岔點。
所謂「為自己而活」,是活出撰述自己價值觀的生命,是為未來的自己,畫出一幅清晰且有尊嚴的藍圖。
過去的記憶不是不能存在,而是它與現在的你無關;未來的願景不能只是幻想,而必須與當下的努力緊密相連。
我們可以從「倒垃圾」這件事重新理解養生的本質,不僅要排出生理上的毒素,更要清理心理與情緒的殘渣。
唯有如此,才能留下真正的自己,活出當下的自己。
在養生的修行之道中,大腦永遠只是配角,卻是負責學習與覺知的角色。
阻礙你成為自己的所有人事物,都該被清楚辨識與隔離。
你必須堅守的,是你的自由與你的尊嚴。
任何企圖掌控你這兩者的人,請你務必遠離。
任何讓你無法活在「現在」的人,請你拿出勇氣,拒絕他們的愚昧與無知。
千萬留意,這些障礙你的人裡面,經常存在你自己的身影。
(提到人類的尊嚴,我們沒有妥協的空間。)
Freedom. Dignity. Now. Self.
Whenever I speak about certain emotional memories linked to cancer, listeners tend to accept them without resistance. Some do so because they already believe in the connection between emotion and illness; others, simply because they trust me.
These classifications of illness-inducing emotions are not based on empirical scientific statistics but are distilled from years of clinical encounters and life observations.
The primary three are: anger, grief, and rejection.
Fear is notably excluded—because fear points toward the future and the unknown, not to stored memory from the past.
Accepting ideas that science cannot yet prove may stem from intuition.
Human intuition is a resonance with the laws of nature and the echoes of spiritual experience.
This is not a matter of right or wrong—but of truth or falsehood.
You must trust your intuition—that is where true precision lies.
So many scientifically trained minds ultimately falter before the intuition they’ve long neglected.
Science cannot harness intuition, just as chemistry ultimately yields to physics: the former is man-made, the latter is nature; the former relies on data, the latter describes phenomena that exist regardless of observation.
Returning to memory itself—it can often be divided into two categories: joyful and painful.
Think about it: what do you recall more often? Is it joyful moments, or the lingering pain and regrets?
If we could statistically analyze the emotional tendency of past memories and compare that to the prevalence of chronic illness, we’d discover: the roots of disease lie in emotional residues from the past.
The events that made you angry have already passed. The moments that brought you sorrow are long gone. The wounds of rejection are merely fragments that can be let go.
We’re meticulous about taking out the household trash, yet we let emotional garbage accumulate for years.
We sit on the toilet each day to eliminate physical waste, yet many never learn how to purge psychological toxins.
Allowing the past to dwell within the body inevitably leads to serious physical and mental illness.
The cruel irony? This world is invested in creating environments that breed sickness—because “illness” has long become a profitable business.
I once told my students,
> “Speaking out your pain is already a form of cleansing.”
And one replied,
“But I’ve spoken it—and it’s still in my heart.”
I told him: that means you haven’t spoken it deeply enough, or fully enough. So keep speaking. Keep seeking someone who will listen.
This is not merely the language of therapy. It is a practice of life: transforming past emotions into present awareness, so that your present may be marked with imprints of happiness.
If all you want is to solve “the current problem,” you will forever remain trapped in a problem that is essentially a remnant of the past.
Only when intuition awakens wisdom can present thinking prevent future suffering.
After all, the challenges we face now are simply unresolved residues of the past.
Such a life condition—disconnected, unresolved—is a form of pathological existence that has already given up on the future.
I once stood at the threshold of a vicious cycle.
My intuition told me: don’t go in.
So I chose to let go of those burdens—knowing it might mean severing ties with certain loved ones.
That was a moment of fierce resolve—a choice to live for myself.
What I didn’t know then was that this choice was also the turning point for living for my own health—a crossroads between life and death, between wellness and deep disease.
To live for yourself means to live a life authored by your own values.
It means to draw a clear and dignified blueprint for your future self.
Past memories are not forbidden, but they are no longer relevant to who you are now.
Future visions must be more than fantasy—they must be deeply connected to your present actions.
We can re-understand the essence of health by looking at something as simple as taking out the trash.
It is not only about eliminating physical toxins, but also cleansing the residue of emotional and psychological debris.
Only through this can we leave behind the true self, and live fully in the now-self.
On the path of health cultivation, the brain is never the leading role.
Its job is to learn and become aware.
Everything and everyone that obstructs you from becoming yourself must be recognized and set aside.
What you must protect above all is your freedom and your dignity.
Anyone who attempts to control either—stay away from them.
Anyone who keeps you from living fully in the present—gather the courage to reject their ignorance and delusion.
And most importantly, beware: among all who hinder you, one of them is often yourself.
