BODY/MIND/SPIRIT

Since receiving my Spiritual Health Coaching License, I have been immersed in the new information available that supports our knowledge of how ‘mind’ impacts disease----both in creating disease and assisting the body in healing from it.

It is particularly challenging right now NOT to let our minds get caught up in fear and worry about the economic strife inundating every newscast and most conversations. Although it may not seem like it all the time, we do have a choice in how we direct our thought both inward and outward. Our power of belief is a potent tool and we can use to ‘empower’ or weaken any situation….and therefore, ourselves.

It may seem like a ‘stretch’ to believe that we may actually think a disease situation into our bodies, but research does show that many cancer patients have suffered a traumatic or high stress experience previous to a cancer diagnosis. There is plenty of data to show that a worried mind can drive high blood pressure and increase the output of the adrenal hormone – cortiosol – also known as the stress hormone.

The sickest people are often the people who do not view themselves with a wellness frame of mind. They hold a victim mentality and allow others and situations to ‘sap’ their energy. If you ask these people, “How much control do you feel over your life?” – they will respond, “Medium to none.”

And…it is even more difficult to view yourself with a wellness component when you give your body over to western medicine which often views you as your disease. The phrase, ‘I am an alcoholic” is a popular and powerful example of this kind of thinking. Your behavior is NOT who you are. That kind of thinking can block you from ever recognizing your real SELF or potential and truly healing from the problem.

Everything has energy. There is a definite relationship between a person’s level of energy and their capacity to heal. Disease, as we know it, can’t exist in the presence of high spiritual energy. This has been demonstrated by Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, and Ramana Maharshi, among others.

Advances in the field of energy medicine now make it possible to bombard tumors with exceptionally high laser energy that dissolves and converts them into health tissue. Energy medicine is the discipline of the future, but it relies on the ancient spiritual practice of being the change that you wish to see in others – by healing yourself first, you can heal others. This practice involves a change in thinking, pulling back your spiritual power and reconnecting to the disease-free loving perfection from which you came. You must start by paying attention to your thoughts and behaviors – what is creating resistance inside yourself that interferes with your own healing. What kind of intentional energy are you creating?

What is your calling card when you meet others? What do they learn about you first --- what energy do you share – a litany of your problems or do you offer a positive message. Are you focused on dis-order, worry, fear, etc.

We attract into our lives through a level of consciousness and we CAN change what we attract. It is crucial that you hold on to an absolute intention for yourself to heal, regardless of what goes on around you, or what others may offer in the way of DIS-couragement. Do NOT let your ego rule you in this regard. Stay focused on your GOD-realization at work. Staying in the mind-set of fear and doubt does not open the way for miracles. Hope always offers more positive energy than any medicine being offered. Any low energy thoughts you have undermine your ability to heal yourself.

When you refuse to live in low energy, and you work moment to moment to introduce healing thoughts, you’ve effectively decided that wellness is your choice and you’ve set a creation in your mind that will take form in your every day life.
