Vipin Mehta on Metaphysically Healing Yourself: You Are Your Own Greatest Healer
Jun 30, 2021 03:02PM ● By Christine DonovanVipin Mehta was born in
India and raised in Mumbai during the Independence Movement inspired by Mahatma
Gandhi’s principles of non-violence. Inspired by Gandhi, he studied with spiritual
mystics and masters all his life. Today, Vipin regularly conducts metaphysical/spiritual
workshops and meditations at his 8,200 sq. ft. not-for-profit Mehta
Metaphysical Center in Winter Park, FL. He built the center to share his
lifetime of spiritual studies and teaching with other seekers. Vipin also founded and is still the active President of Mehta
Engineering, a very successful national transportation engineering company giving
him over 40 years of experience in the
scientific and engineering realms of physics.
Vipin Mehta’s
popular Global Healing trilogy book series:
Thinking Outside The Box, Awakening Spirituality and New Vistas of Hope, endorsed
by Madeleine Albright, wife of Senator William Albright, co-founder of the
United Nations, are still selling strongly today and available online and at the center.
In
your opinion, what metaphysical wisdom is most important to share with others?
I have been holding a series
of workshops on “You Are Your Own
Greatest Healer” for many years. In these workshops we explore the power of
healing that lies within each one of us and how to awaken that power. To metaphysically
heal yourself (mind over matter), you have to understand the spiritual anatomy
of a human being. A human being is much more than just a physical body. As in
yoga, a human being has five layers of existence known as koshas.
What
are the Five Layers of Existence in a human being?
Our human bodies are rooted
in the realm of space/time and physics. Our life energy Kosha (the body of
breath known as Prana) exists simultaneously in the physical, while also
dwelling in the realm of metaphysics beyond space/time. The Mental kosha
consists of thoughts, feelings, emotions and images. Chakras (vortexes of
subtle energy) generate the auric field of one etheric kosha. At the core of
our existence, the blissful body is made up of our Higher Self, Soul and
Spirit. All five of these koshas (layers of being) are interconnected.
The physical body is a
reflection and expression of the mental Kosha. With its movement—in and out—the
life energy is the bridge between the two. The mind is the fulcrum of the five
layers of existence, this is where the power of healing lies.
In modern society, it is
standard practice for human beings to suppress and repress negative
constricting emotions. They become imprisoned in the subconscious mind as life
goes on. These emotions are like prison inmates who crave freedom. Over time
these inmates gang up and free themselves from their prison. The suppressed emotions
express their freedom by causing chronic illnesses in the physical body, such
as cancer, diabetes, heart problems, asthma, back pain, etc. In these cases,
modern conventional medicine only treats the symptoms—and not the root cause
which lies in the patient’s state of mind.
Unfortunately, many modern
doctors simply prescribe medications for treating these symptoms and ignore the
root cause. By expanding your awareness of all the healing modalities, seek
modalities that are best for healing yourself. I recommend Reflexology, Reiki,
Naturopathy, Metaphysical Healing, Yoga, Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Crystal
Healing, Spontaneous Healing (Miracles), Modern Integrative Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure,
Homeopathy, and Chiropractic. Explore and trust your intuition.
Keep in mind: Forgiveness is the greatest elixir! Try
accepting the following: “Since I have created this illness, I am responsible
for it. I am the master of healing myself. I forgive myself for causing this
illness. I am my own greatest healer.”
Please
explain the meaning of Metaphysics? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines
Metaphysics as “of
/ or relating to the transcendent, or to a reality beyond what is perceptible
to the senses.” How
do you define it?
Metaphysics is the knowledge
of the human mind in its total complexity within the relationship of the Body, Mind,
Soul and Spirit. Practicing metaphysics is the inner alchemy-turning of negative
emotions. Examples are:
• Turning stubbornness and
defensiveness into open-mindedness and determination
• Transforming apathy and procrastination
into drive and action.
• Transcending the constrictive emotions of
fear, hurt, jealousy, blame, revenge, loneliness, and despair into the higher
octave of expansive emotions such as well-being, optimism, joy, hope, trust,
passion, compassion, and love.
