Most of us perceive ourselves as a single unit of consciousness, failing to see the totality of ourselves. The idea that different parts of the body have their own unique consciousness is not a widely accepted mainstream belief. Yet, we are a mixture of smaller units of consciousness within us, just like an ecosystem is.
An ecosystem is a community of living things that interact with each other. One example of an ecosystem is a forest. Every forest has a mix of living things, like understory, ground cover, trees, soil, fungi, insects and animals. All of these components together make up a forest ecosystem- a community of interacting units of consciousness.
Like the forest, our human body is a unique ecosystem with each organ, cell and microorganism having its own consciousness that interact and communicate with each other. Not only the body but our psyche can be seen similarly. Our psyche is composed of different subpersonalities or “parts”. Each part can represent different emotions, memories and roles we enact in various situations. In other words, our psyche is a collection of different parts rather than a singular unified whole. Just like an ecosystem consists of various organisms that interact with each other and their environment, our body and our psyche is made up of multiple parts or sub personalities that interact with each other and are either in harmony with each other or at war.
Beginning to see ourselves as an ecosystem is really important because so much awareness, wholeness and health can come as a result of connecting with the different parts in our body. And one of the most important parts to connect with is our precious heart. Our heart is imbued with consciousness and has a whole universe within it. A universe ready to be explored.
