Intuitive healing

Intuitive healing is something we all do. Resting when tired for instance.
But this healing process can potentially be corrupted. For instance, a person is familiar with caffeine and gets used to consuming it. When tired the intuitive response may be to drink more coffee rather than rest.
It's a principle I've been pondering today. Coffee and being tired, just the tip of the iceberg.
Does intuitive healing seem like a reasonable proposition? Is yours corrupted to some degree?

Could you perhaps be getting intuition mixed up with habitual programming?
Intuition will mainly flow and be "heard" if we are attuned to it or are in the right headspace etc. coffee and the like ramp up the adrenals for about 8 hours and probably throw our intuition out of whack because in that mode we are all about fight or flight. Whether we know it, or not.
Moral of the story... ditch coffee. if you need something to give you energy, try fruit or a fresh juice. Borrowing from "peter to pay paul" is never a good idea. Oh and try dandelion root as a coffee alternative, you could start with half/half for a week or two or just go all out and go cold turkey.
Take care.

Any instance of intuitive healing would have some level of programming but one could draw a difference between the experience of resting when tired and consuming caffeine when tired. For someone who has never consumed caffeine their only intuitive response is to rest (If we're assuming these are the only two choices). Resting is more "natural" and I use the word loosely, more like an inherent capability.
Caffine is a step above natural body functions in that it's a substance we may or may not ingest. On the same level as food which is another area that may have similar intuitive connotations. Is a person "hooked" on excess carbohydrates ignoring basic information being related to the brain when eating? Has programming/habit and pleasure seeking overtaken the sense of a more optimal amount of food?
So I suppose in a sense, intuition could be the voice that questions habitual programming when it's not optimal or healthy.
For the record, I drink coffee every morning. I think it's a healthy habit. While it does increase heart rate a small amount it also dilates vessels shortly after consumption so there isn't a corresponding increase in blood pressure. Moderation is key.
So I guess I'm not saying higher level learned behavior is bad or unintuitive but it holds the potential for both good and bad.

moderate daily coffee is part of my intuitive healing from which which subtends self soothing including sugar free treats when it seems like it is not injurious, which is usually before noon for coffee.
at this point I am aware that I am addicted to part of my intuitive healing process (especially when it comes to coffee)

I had a sugar and caffeine addiction, but then I separated the sugar from the caffeine, kept on sugar free energy drinks and lost 12 kilograms in 8 months.
I still enjoy caffeine and sugar, but not mixed together in a drink.
And with a little moderation in meal size and hence a general calorie intake.
I find that replacing one addiction with another can provide relief in the mean time.
It can be a reward to have faith in ourselves.
I think it can be good if hobbies are addictive.
If you were to ask 100 people what their addictive behaviours were.. I think I'd like the answer. It sounds interesting.

I don't agree with the concept that drugs cannot heal.. or enable healing of the mind body industry.
Take all the shamans from all the ages..
Dream work, dream healing.
Ayuasca, mushrooms Peyote.
To say there are not benefits to these drugs is insane..
Don't trust the conspiracy!
Drugs can heal! Drugs can provide benefits..
Therefore drug usage is good for the human system.

Caffeine, like many chemicals in the amine group, is highly addictive and doesn't actually give you any boost at all. When you get your morning coffee, the withdrawal symptoms are leaving and you feel your body's natural state of well-being.
This is easy to test. Go cold turkey for 2 weeks. After about 10 days you will experience a huge "caffeine rush" that just won't go away.

I seem to have put myself in a place where I can't go to sleep without a handful of melatonin, THC gummies, or a dose of amanita muscaria. I try to rotate them and take breaks... but I should probably take more breaks.
It seems like a learned artificial routine that puts me in the mental state for that natural, intuitive healing.
Maybe these learned routines are Pavolvian?

so odd, I like and enjoy caffeine (especially illy blend Arabica put through the Aeropress) and I have no problem falling asleep. I never use melatonin, but often have some THC (between 8 and 25 mg/day at various times usually water soluble format from Emprise).

I have trouble falling asleep when my physical activity is low for the day.
I drink a cup of coffee in the morning and maybe some tea at lunch or dinner. No caffeine after dinner.
Not sure if I've ever had caffeine withdraw. I've gone caffeine free and didn't notice any difference. On an average day I'll have 3-4 caffeinated beverages, probably around 200mg total. I was drinking yellow edition red bull but kicked the processed sugars out so now I make my own energy drinks.
2 cans Dole mango/pineapple juice 1 lemon peel (fruit mostly removed) 2 200mg caffeine capsules 1/4 teaspoon salt
blend lemon peel in water and remove pulp. Add all ingredients to a 2 liter bottle and fill to 4" from the top with water. Let chill and carbonate. Makes 7-8 servings. Delicious... for a low sugar drink. The most delicious thing I've ever carbonated was fruit punch Gatorade.

For me intuitive healing is when I come to terms with future reassurances of where I'm going and what I'm trying to do with my life.
The ambivilance of uncertainty can get to me when it's related to my career advancements. I haven't had highly specific goals, just preferences of activity and it's gotten me well qualified in my field.
I now feel more reassured having developed more than 1 career projection with good probabilities with preparation, from a range of possibilities.
I feel better this week after a rougher time, now that I've assessed my options and have been able to allocate a desirable plan to the business end of moving states.
I have an alternative plan that could work out if the current plan doesn't work by the end of the year.
I just have a backup plan for my career advancements now and I find reassurance in knowing that.
At least in this sense of business, maybe it's a kind of intuitive healing, I don't know, I'm not sure, but I feel like that's right. Enough. For now.

i usually take the word "intuitive" to mean at a glance, without deliberation or training - but as with any perception - at a glance or over a longer time period - it is the same overall process of forming ideas in the mind.

Yes seems like a valid example.
Another example you've shared, I'm sure you had already read that processed sugar isn't extremely healthy but wasn't there a point where you thought to yourself that it might be a good idea to cut out the candy? What went through your mind to cause that change?

Another example, even without input from the rest of the world a person may examine a tobacco habit and think "this doesn't feel great, I should probably smoke less or quit". Such is the addict that they have trouble quitting even though they intuit that it's a good idea. The intuition is also saying tobacco is good, and perhaps nicotine on it's own does provide some useful function that would warrant consuming it.

Chronic drug & alcohol abusers often magnify the benefits of abusing while minimizing or totally ignoring the deleterious effects. "I don't care" is often the cognitive mantra the abuser hears when considering abstaining. Long term abuse and misery can greatly cripple and inhibit one's ability to clearly see the positive benefits of abstinence.

I agree, but don't think the lack of care precludes any sense of what might seem intuitive if they did care. It might pop up and get quickly smothered.
Care and lack of care could be manifested in a dualistic manner, affirmations of having no care a result of protruding intuitions about what would be caring.
Aside, after giving it some thought intuition seems to lay between (executive function and conscious thought) and (instinct). Perhaps a propensity that stems from instinctive behavior, yet requires mental acknowledgement and perhaps some executive function to be fruitful. In this sense an intuition is something that "comes to a person" and what they do with it is up to them, so to speak.

I've been studying gambling addiction and what I learned is most gambling addicts who use those machines in bars and casinos is that they are well aware that they can't win, that they are losing, but what keeps them going is they like to play. The passage of time is so unbearably painful and difficult to fill that addicts would rather keep playing, even though, they know they are losing.

Better the devil they know than the one they don't?
Aside, reading your C.G. Jung quote in light of the topic, I wonder if what is known is also a necessary component, at least in the sense that it will have an effect on what actions are taken.
Is there some deeper component involved? Would it be considered instinctive or some other descriptor that doesn't require or isn't based in knowledge? What's the are that heals?

Perhaps knowing why the mind is in pain, or what the pain is we all share would be a good start. But I think the mind is like a wound, particularly in regards to sexuality/romance. I think it's literally a miracle that people fall in love, getting married and have children, despite all the disorder and disease in the world.
Quote:

The shallowness and dullness I believe comes upon a person gradually, it's a gradual process of isolation. Deeper living comes when we stop questioning other people about whether they like us or not. I remember a Borat skit, where Borat was asking a museum curator, "do you like me?" and the curator got ticked off, and he replied in irritation:, "I don't know if I like you!"
Quote:

Things like dancing, singing and physical activity... I don't believe those things are shallow or insignificant. We can question people and ask why they do things, but we are missing out on our own lives when we question others too much, especially about personal things. I've made that mistake myself. I read the other day, "never ask a lame man how he became lame." There is much disability and disease in the world, and again, it's a miracle that we have any of the professions such as farming, palliative care, end of life care. And as miraculous as success can be, it's also frightening how deep mankind can fall into failure. I watch documentaries like the fifth estate and the like and when things go bad, it's just unbelievably bad.
Quote:
What's the are that heals? 
I can remember getting into a fight with a coworker once. I mean, I've had plenty of conflicts with people at work. This one coworker, she seen me blush. I'm not sure why I was blushing, but she asked me, "are you dating?" I was a 21 year old male at the time (I'm 43 now), and I wasn't thankful for her question, I was quite irritable in my answering. I did plenty of dating as a teenager and I think Carl Jung's ideas about the archetypal account for how we fall in love in a larger fabric of social relations. As we get older, there is a process of isolation that makes for dullness or shallowness. Only by fully immersing onself in school, sports and activities can anything happen at all.
I'm certain that in isolation, nothing can happen. As a 43 year old man I can only tell you that nothing worth experiencing ever happened by staying home. I had to put myself out there, but I couldn't do it without family and friends. Life has become sooo difficult for me now that I'm older. I have mostly appointments with nurses, doctors and social workers, much of my time has been taken by people holding professional positions, and they are not always very helpful, because, sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and one kind of gets shuffled from one hand to another. It's like getting knocked down, or knocked around sometimes. Words and language can be a barrier to communication. Things like gratitude, thankfulness and forgiveness can become mysterious, enigmatic or just plain unbelievable.

"There is abundant evidence to show that high buildings make people crazy.
High buildings have no genuine advantages, except in speculative gains for banks and land owners. They are not cheaper, they do not help create open space, they destroy the townscape, they destroy social life, they promote crime, they make life difficult for children, they are expensive to maintain, they wreck the open spaces near them, and they damage light and air and view. But quite apart from all of this, which shows that they aren't very sensible, empirical evidence shows that they can actually damage people's minds and feelings." - 21 Four-Story Limit

Any answer anybody gives should put an end to your questions. But it does not." [UG-K]

I have to admit, I am happy to be at ground level these days. Cory, I kinda like your quote about attentiveness even if using strangely manipulative terms such as "The Attentive do not die" (which is double speak at best) and "path to true life" - all life is true, but attentiveness fosters a good synchronization (connectedness), while inattentiveness fosters disconnection (separation).Quote:
Cory Duchesne said: Attentiveness is the path to true life; Indifference is the path to death. The attentive do not die; The indifferent are as if they are dead already. – Buddha Shakyamuni

Life fuels death. Grasp what you can. Forget not the damage done. Don't leave it too late.

Strange is it not, that so many I wish beside me stand against me, while at my back are only the flawed and damaged. I am a master of broken monsters.
It does not matter how the galaxy burns, only that it does. Warmaster - that is what it means, my brother. The strength to do what must be done."

in what way does life fuel death? death is the lack of life. a dead body is not death, it is worm food and soon quite alive in a different way.
death also is neither an engine nor an entity. it does not need to eat.
Some fantasies can be taken too seriously.

cool! 
i woke up today and had it pretty good because i have been drawing more lately but then when i read that i was really relieved
it reminds me of bhante gunaratana's you are enlightened don't worry it will happen to you
but i think we have to attain enlihtenment to not die which happens if we are truly attentive. if we are enlightened. so maybe it's not true but that if we are enlightened we don't die

I play an esports game called Super Smash Brothers Melee.
And I noticed the reason why I get beat or why the top players are where they are.
It all boils down to attention..
The pros have perfect attention and a high degree of awareness..
Its almost at a point where practice doesn't mean anything anymore.
So I go with spiritual exercises to help me gain more attention (to detail) and better awareness.

this is what I mean by bringing death and not dying into the dreams. nothing alive will never die, it does not deserve to be repeated.
part of the whole wonder of life is that living things last only small spans of time. days to centuries, and that's all folks.
