 Now it's interesting. I've actually been in the middle section of doing research for my doctoral thesis on spontaneous remissions in cancer and It's uncanny How many of these spontaneous remissions and even people just in chronic illness? They say Word for word how important their intuition was in figuring out the process now? Sometimes the intuition was don't take this physician's advice Sometimes the intuition was do this very unconventional thing even though you're terrified of it and sometimes the intuition was to Take your foot off the gas pedal and just sit back for a moment Now one thing I find that we poo poo in modern society and just this era in human history We tend to poo poo the intuition and instead praise the logic the intellect the physician with the book of answers the merc manual and We forget that intuition has gotten us this far in human history and evolution on the planet and In this video, I want to share how you can use intuition as part of your healing process Hey, I'm Alex high and current doctoral student in classical Chinese medicine and author of the book master the day Now I've also included a free download. It's the first link in the description It's a free PDF on five rituals to add ten years to your life with traditional or classical Chinese medicine So you can check it out right there in the description So I want to quickly read here this little paragraph on a book called the healing path Which was written largely based on cancer spontaneous remissions But one passage about a patient who ignored the logic and went with our intuition because of just how important it really was So when Ted was admitted to the hospital with abdominal bleeding He was told it was too late that the cancer had spread throughout his body Four or five guys in white came into my room the head of oncology the surgeons and told me at best That I'd be dead in four months. They did offer me chemo, but when I asked them will it cure me? They said probably not Will it give me a 5050 chance of living? They said nope. You might live a year at best They'd officially given me up, but an inner voice said that's not right So I told them you guys are wrong. I'm going to take care of this myself I don't know how but I'll figure it out People who struck out on their own path of healing Sometimes reported being treated like outcasts fugitives or recalcitrant children When I refused to play the good little patient one told me it pissed off just about everyone But with their lives in the balance. It was a risk. They felt obliged to take So the thing about intuition to me that's so telling is that we don't fully trust it and yet Intuition has gotten us thus far. I mean humans have been around for 200,000 years modern humans And we've made it millions or billions of years in terms of evolution from the beginning of time on earth the billions of years Now how do animals survive? They know to survive not based on these logical calculations, but based on intuition the felt sense The most primal sense at its most primal level Intuition is about survival and when you're dying of illness nothing is more concerned with your survival than that itself So it's the bodily intuition itself that guides animals the body feeling Not the you know when you sit down and you've been on a date and the person is everything you dreamed of on paper The height the pedigree the look the Everything everything you like holy crap. This person is blowing my mind, but at the end of the night you're like Why don't I feel anything? This is weird. Why do I not feel the vibe? So what is the vibe the vibe is the intuition? That's the body wisdom the knowledge the wisdom that's gotten us here Hundreds of thousands or millions or billions of years however you want to interpret that So animals know when weather changes they feel they should go get cover Animals get that intuition about food eat it. Don't eat it. They get that intuition about people Anyone that owns pets or dogs knows some people give off a vibe that their animals Don't like right away and there's that joke, you know if the pet doesn't like them don't date them But the bodily intuition is the oldest form of wisdom and knowledge that all animals all species have Humans are animals too. The problem with humans is that because of our powerful logic We can easily rationalize ourselves out of our intuition because that physician is a doctor from Harvard Because that person is so sexy and so smart even though we don't feel it because this job is a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity and I really need the money, but we hate it We can talk ourselves out of the most primal truthful sorts of knowledge We have in self-healing and so it's kind of been undeniable my research Uncanny how many people said the key to their self-healing was following their intuition and trusting that especially if it was not on the path they expected especially if everyone else was Telling them they should be afraid or what are you doing? They were putting these fear-based messages It doesn't mean you stop seeing your physician It doesn't mean you stop taking your doctor's advice or stop taking a pharmaceutical medication. It just means tune into the intuition see what it says you need to heal and maybe you try that for a period of time and See where it leads you So again, I hope that helps that is the next step on the path to self-healing as far as this self-healing process and kind of Free course we've been going through here Again, you can check out the first link in the description Which is a free download on five daily habits that ten years to your life with classical Chinese medicine And of course you can check out my last two related and recent videos right there and right there
