Question on clearing blockages.

[zenmaster]

Clearing a blockage is temporary, unless you understand and change what caused the blockage itself.

This is true although it seems that one can re-align to a more functional distortion without the conventional type of 'understanding'. Sometimes just a suggestion will transform.

Some alternative health-care practitioners will work from 'lower' (physical) to 'higher' (spiritual) when diagnosing and treating distortions. Physical could mean chemical, nutritional, skeletal, neural, muscles, glandular, etc. Sometimes the cause is indeed purely physical, as allopathic medicine is designed to address. But at the emotional level for a source, it does seem crucial to become consciously aware of the misunderstanding in order for there to be a permanent change (which alleviates the lower, physical symptoms). A change will occur with at least an acknowledgement of anything that was previously unconscious.

Making something conscious always results in a more integrated, or healthy condition. And it could be the case that a simple acknowledgement does the trick to rectify a particular condition. However, going beyond acknowledgement and seeing the limiting attitudes and behaviors will go even further to address imbalances - because various, disparate, misunderstandings are often combined to contribute to an imbalance.
