I see my attempt to discuss the topic from a strictly metaphysical perspective is not understood.
I'm not here to discuss my state of health or to find suggestions for possibly effective treatments or to read medical hypotheses involving diet or toxins or lack of movement or whatever. I'm here to discuss the possible non-physical causes of FM. If this topic is of common interest, OK, that's great; if not, OK, that's great all the same. If someone can contribute in this direction, I welcome any future discussion; otherwise I will not answer.
I hope I made this point unmistakably clear.
Hey there Ebe, welcome to the forums, I do have some thoughts along these lines I hope might be along those lines of thinking.
My Mom was diagnosed with fibromyalgia for years until a year or so ago her diagnosis was changed to central pain syndrome so I considered a lot about what might be the metaphysical nature of it. These are of course just my own ponderings, but I do have some training in metaphysical 'healing' I draw from.
Forgive me for waxing philosophical here, but I feel it is necessary in order to look at the metaphysical side. What is meant when one talks about health in general? The word health comes from germanic 'haelth' which is related to wholeness, or something being whole. Whole and complete is akin to the idea of Oneness. In the Ra Material, there is a very straightforward notion of healing which is related to wholeness.
Quote:4.20 Questioner: My objective is primarily to discover more of the Law of One, and it would be very helpful to discover techniques of healing. I am aware of your problem with respect to free will. Can you make— You cannot make suggestions, so I will ask you if you can state the Law of One and the laws of healing to me?
Ra: I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.
One of the primal distortions of the Law of One is that of healing. Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. The healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.
One item which may be of interest is that a healer asking to learn must take the distortion understood as responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing. This is a[n] honor/duty which must be carefully considered in free will before the asking.
Thus, stemming from this idea then is that any state which is not complete, whole and perfect is privy to illness or imbalance. This has been described in many metaphysical healing modalities, as well as traditional chinese medicine, as relating to the flow of life energy through the body. There is a common notion of energy being "blocked" or stagnant or 'caught' in different areas of the body/energy field. In the Ra Material they refer to these as the energy centers, but the concept is much older than the material and is well known especially through yoga (chakras) and qi gong (gates).
Life energy or qi/chi/prana/sacred breath/inner fire/etc/intelligent energy/etc, is considered to be tied to the circulatory system in particular, but there is a relationship between the blood and the nervous system. Electricity doesn't actually "move through" nerves, just like it doesn't actually travel 'through' wires. Rather, wires and nerves act as focal lines around which electrical energy can gather and move in a vector (direction). Nerves provide the 'channel' along which electrical energy can flow through the body but blood is what creates the 'direction' of flow of force.
However, the blood is 'controlled' or regulated by the heart, which isn't a 'pump' it appears but a more complex system which operates through spiral motion. All blood spirals through the body, and this, I believe, is a physical reflection of the 'spiraling light' which is the driving impetus or primum mobile of the spirit.
Quote:13.17 Questioner: Does this first density then progress to greater awareness?
Ra: The spiraling energy, which is the characteristic of what you call light, moves in straight-line spiral, thus giving spirals an inevitable vector upwards to a more comprehensive beingness with regards to intelligent infinity. Thus, first dimensional beingness strives towards the second-density lessons of a type of awareness which includes growth rather than dissolution or random change.
So the reason I have focused on this concept of electrical energy here is to make the connection with the concept of resistance and the relationship with this idea to pain. The ideas of pain have been slowly changing, where it used to be considered that all pain was rooted in some form of physical damaging, more and more it is being discovered the huge role the mind has in the experience of pain.
On a physical level, it seems to me to be where the energy in the body isn't able to be grounded out and instead it continues circulating, but this energy comes from 'catalyst'.
Quote:33.14 Questioner: OK. What I would like for you to do is list all the major mechanisms designed to provide catalytic experience that do not include interaction with other-self. That’s the first part of the question I’ll ask.
Ra: I am Ra. We grasp from this question that you realize that the primary mechanism for catalytic experience in third density is other-self. The list of other catalytic influences: firstly, the Creator’s universe; secondly, the self.
33.15 Questioner: Can you list any sub-headings under the self that would . . . or ways that the self is acted on catalytically to produce experience?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, the self unmanifested. Secondly, the self in relation to the societal self created by self and other-self. Thirdly, the interaction between self and the gadgets, toys, and amusements of the self/other-self invention. Fourthly, the self relationship with those attributes which you may call war and rumors of war.
33.16 Questioner: I was thinking possibly the catalyst of physical pain. How does this . . . Does this go under this heading?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct, it going under the heading of the unmanifested self; that is, the self which does not need other-self in order to manifest or act.
Thus, here it is talking about pain generated in the self, by the self, for the sake of catalytic experience. Coming back to the idea of resistance, I believe strongly that this is related to the experience of pain in all forms. I would almost even go as far as to say that pain is the 'effect' of resistance to the processing of catalyst, of experience. This resistance manifests in our body as pain. However, what might be the object of resistance in cases such as with FM?
From what I have seen, it seems a lot of individuals with FM have experienced trauma (perhaps it may not even need to be of this particular lifetime) and this could certainly be a cause for resistance. Resistance is also related to the idea of being 'shielded', and if you want to protect something from an electrical current you need high resistance. However, this to me still doesn't quite fill out the picture. The pain of resistance isn't actually in the resistance itself, but rather in the fragmented or 'breaks' in the complete or whole sense of self which obscures the view of perfection of spirit.
Quote:66.14 Questioner: Would you explain that last comment about the configuration in time/space?
Ra: I am Ra. Healing is done in the time/space portion of the mind/body/spirit complex, is adopted by the form-making, or etheric, body and is then given to the space/time physical illusion for use in the activated yellow-ray mind/body/spirit complex. It is the adoption of the configuration which you call health by the etheric body in time/space which is the key to what you call health, not any event which occurs in space/time.
In this process you may see the transdimensional aspect of what you call will, for it is the will, the seeking, the desire of the entity which causes the indigo body to use the novel configuration and to reform the body which exists in space/time. This is done in an instant and may be said to operate without regard to time.
We may note that in the healing of very young children there is often an apparent healing by the healer in which the young entity has no part. This is never so, for the mind/body/spirit complex in time/space is always capable of willing the distortions it chooses for experience no matter what the apparent age, as you call it, of the entity.
75.35 Questioner: May anyone in third density accomplish some degree of healing if they have the proper will, desire, and polarity, or is there a minimal balance of the energy centers of the healer that is also necessary?
Ra: I am Ra. Any entity may, at any time, instantaneously clear and balance its energy centers. Thus in many cases those normally quite blocked, weakened, and distorted may, through love and strength of will, become healers momentarily. To be a healer by nature one must indeed train its self in the disciplines of the personality
This first bit here is a bit to chew on, but my take on it is essentially that our etheric or energetic body takes its form by the projection of its image from our own self-consciousness.
We can through realization and projection upon it a perfected form bring our physical bodies in to alignment with the vision projected on to the etheric (or astral as some might call it).
In a very rudimentary sense, the way we
imagine ourselves has a very incredibly powerful affect on the way we
experience ourselves, physically, mentally and spiritually.
This concept is explored in Buddhist context through the concept of the Vajra Body which you may find interesting.

On the other hand, if one believes in past lives, there is also the possibility that one is still processing pain and trauma from previous experiences, and because the conscious mind has been unable to keep up it has overflown in to the body. For many if not the majority of people, they do not want to look at mental pain, they do not want to experience the painful emotions that come with painful thoughts. Over time, when they consume the mind, they appear in the body. I think it is actually not so easy at all to accept one's pain, and even more difficult to make changes in one's life that are in acknowledgement of that pain.
In general, I think pain is telling us that something is not 'right'. I'm not sure that it's possible for just anyone to suddenly override their pain, but I also wonder if sometimes it's an innate spiritual response to the suffering and pain that exists in this world. Everyone I've ever met with FM (and actually I experience undiagnosed chronic pain with many matching symptoms) has been an incredibly sensitive individual and I have wondered if maybe it is possibly a side effect of uncontrolled empathy. Maybe some people just absorb so much chaos off of others that it bounces around their system constantly. This could be a 'grounding' issue.
In a way, the idea of flow being blocked (or overloaded) and getting caught up and rattling around the system makes sense for a constant state of flare.
Pain seems to be some kind of communication from the subconscious mind to the body, then to the conscious mind. In general the spirit is not usually seen as experiencing pain, but there are some philosophies which view it as experiencing pain while being incarnate. Perhaps then some such pain is the spirit crying out, yearning to be all that it is?
Not sure if any of that gives you any useful ideas, like I said these are just my ponderings and I'm not sure I have any real conclusions here, but maybe some food for thought. Hope you are well, peace to you.
