Have you ever wondered why, at certain moments in life, your body suddenly starts to get sick? In Recall Healing, the key to understanding this process is the concept of biological conflict. Although the word "conflict" usually brings to mind an argument, in this context it has a much deeper, biological meaning.
It's Not Just a Definition, It's a Reaction
In Recall Healing, it's hard to find one rigid definition of conflict, like those we know from encyclopedias. Most simply put, a conflict is anything that triggers a reaction in us that we weren't ready for at that moment. It's a situation where a stimulus—coming from the outside world or from within us—exceeds our current adaptive capabilities.
The stimulus can be almost anything: extreme temperature, chemicals, but also a word we hear, someone's criticism, or even our own emotions or a medical diagnosis that frightens us. The bridge connecting this stimulus to the body's reaction is always emotion. How our body reacts depends on what feeling arises in us under the influence of a given situation.
The Boundary Between Stress and Conflict
In daily life, we live in a state called normotonia. It's a state of balance where our body efficiently handles everyday stress, such as an uncomfortable chair or a bad day at work, thanks to defense mechanisms and the nervous system.
The problem appears when the force of the stimulus breaks through this "safe ceiling" of our psychological and physical resilience. Then we enter the so-called active conflict phase. This happens automatically, before our consciousness can react.
Three Conditions of Biological Conflict
For a given event to become a biological conflict, certain conditions usually need to be met:
- Strength of the stimulus: It must be significantly stronger than everyday stress.
- Unexpected nature: The event occurs suddenly (shock) or has a long-term, repetitive character, like "water dripping on a stone," until finally the cup overflows.
- Sense of isolation: This is an absolutely crucial element—we experience the conflict in solitude, with a feeling that we have no support in anyone.
The feeling of loneliness makes the weight of the situation much greater. If, however, we can talk about the problem, share emotions, and feel support, the conflict "softens" and it's easier for us to emerge from it.
Two Paths to Conflict
We can reach the active conflict phase in two ways:
- Sudden shock: Like a lightning strike—something happens suddenly and completely surprises us.
- Sum of repetitions: These are situations that in themselves aren't a great drama, but repeat so often that our brain eventually "blows a fuse" and says "enough." An example might be a burdensome relationship at work that we can't end.
Disease as a Solution?
In light of Recall Healing, what we call disease is often already the healing phase. The body shows us in tissues what we couldn't handle on an emotional level. Interestingly, the duration and intensity of this repair are proportional to how strongly and how long we experienced the conflict itself.
How to Help Yourself?
The most important step toward healing is becoming aware of the conflict. The moment when we understand what really "conflicted" us is the moment when the healing process can accelerate. Equally important is coming out of isolation—finding someone (a therapist, a friend) who will listen to our difficult emotions with love and acceptance, giving us a sense of security.
Remember: Your body always works in your favor, trying to compensate for stress that couldn't be resolved consciously. Understanding this mechanism is the first step to living in greater harmony with yourself.
An Analogy for Better Understanding
Imagine that your body is a circuit breaker in an electrical installation. Normotonia is the time when normal appliances are running in the house—the refrigerator, a lamp. But when you suddenly plug in too many devices at once or a powerful surge occurs, the circuit breaker "trips" to protect the entire installation from burning out. This moment of the circuit breaker "tripping" is precisely the biological conflict—your brain's emergency rescue program.
