Foreword
by Anna Parkinson
M artin Brofman was a powerful being who changed the course of many lives. My first meeting with him certainly changed mine. It was quite unexpected. I had an inoperable brain tumor and though I had explored all the medical avenues for dealing with it, I was getting nowhere and going around in circles. After many weeks of hesitation, of listening to Martins talks and learning his story, I felt compelled to overcome my resistance and go to ask Martin for healing.
The experience was a revelation, not simply because of the palpable energy that transmits when one person wishes to heal another, but because Martin had the ability to explain what was happening in a way I could understand. Almost immediately afterwards, disparate strands of my life clicked into place in an entirely comprehensible and logical relationship. I discovered a new perspective, and with it, a new sense of ownership of my body and the life I chose to live. Martin opened my eyes to the way my inner world expresses itself through my body and what happens in my life. This is the substance of the ideas he explains in this book. This is the journey you have in store from reading and practicing the techniques he perfected. Your inner world, moreover, connects you to a much deeper sense of your self and your purpose than you may be familiar with. In this way, your body can be your guide to a more fulfilling and happier life.
In his preface to this book, Martin says he didnt believe in any of the ideas explained in this book before 1975. It was his body that faced him with a life-threatening situation he was forced to find a way out of. When the medical profession couldnt help, he had to dig deep into the wisdom of ancient ideas about the relationship of his invisible consciousness to his physical body to find another way to live. It was do or die. This was exactly the path that led me to Martins door more than a quarter of a century later. I was a broadcast journalist for BBC current affairs and accustomed to assessing truth by measurable facts. This had made me underestimate the power of the unmeasurable or invisible, of emotional truth in myself and others, and overestimate the validity of appearances.
As the psychologist William James pointed out we tend to forget that we are all, after all, invisible. The great motivating factors of our lives are undetectable to our normal sense of vision. Neither love, desire, passion, envy, nor anger can be seen, but they are all potent energies, which create tangible physical changes in our lives. As we all know, and as the writer William Bruce Cameron said, Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts.
The invisible and the uncountable is so frustrating to the scientific method that has produced the modern environment for most of us that it tends to be dismissed. In so doing, this kind of thinking makes a basic mistake. It is like looking at a box and dismissing the space within it, because there is nothing visible or countable there. The space within is, however, the point of the box.
In a similar way, modern medicine tends to treat people as mechanical beings, assessing our health, happiness, and future by the physical aspects of our bodies and attempting to modify anything irregular with drugs that have a contrary physical effect. Most of us have experienced that this doesnt always work. The same drug has different effects on different people. Because of course although human bodies function normally in the same way, no two individuals have exactly the same emotional experience.
Martins approach is apparently simple. A happy person is a healthy person. When you are happy, your body functions in perfect harmony and balance. When you are unhappy, the tension in your body will help you to understand emotional tensions you may not have been conscious of. This is the essence of ancient philosophies that accept the perfect design and functioning of natural organisms as beyond human conception. The Buddha is reputed to have said, There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Anyone who has tried to focus on this goal will find it contains enough challenges to occupy a whole lifetime as well as inconceivable joys and unimaginable triumphs.
It would be a mistake, however, to confuse apparent simplicity with lack of logic. Martins genius was to focus his intelligence on anything that appeared hazy or illogical and ask questions, while at the same time entertaining the perspective that human beings form part of a greater evolutionary truth that has not been measured by scientific methods but perceived and described by spiritual ones. The chain of reaction that emotions set up in our bodies is highly logical, and Martin has shown how it can be understood like any logical language. Of course, this would be meaningless if it could not be understood by the person who needs healing. But, after decades of applying this method in healing hundreds of people, Martins experience was that this body language is understood by the person who needs healing. Once understood, the mystery to behold is how physical changes follow. It is as though the body is holding on to the truth until the person inside the body gets it.
My physical symptoms did not disappear immediately after I met Martin, but his teaching and the Body Mirror Healing System he devised, which you find explained in this book, provided a clear pathway to show how physical symptoms can disappear. Martins constant message was to take charge of creating the life you want to lead: to be the director of your own movie, as he often put it. The only limitations are the ones we place on ourselves, and the power our minds can access is limitless.
Not knowing what I would find at the end of the path, drawn on by curiosity, I set about learning as much about healing as I could. I discovered, to my astonishment, that I had the ability to heal others, and that, with patient and persistent work on myself, my own symptoms diminished until, eventually, the tumor itself disappeared. I did not always believe in the end result I would achieve, but I allowed myself to imagine it, with greater and greater confidence. I have Martin and the Body Mirror Healing method to thank for that. In the years since, I have found that healing is constantly teaching me, adding new dimensions to my experience that I could never have arrived at by logical means but which have power because they are true, for me and for you.
