Each of us possesses an astounding power to heal ourselves--and
it's all in our minds.
There is a dramatic and powerful
connection between your mind and body, and between
your body and your mind. In fact, it really should
not be called a connection because it is just ONE
bidirectional system. |
The brain is a highly efficient system that
is connected to every cell in your body by billions of
connections. It is divided into two sides ñ the
left, logical side (words, logic, rational thought) and
the right creative side (imagination and intuition). Day
to day circumstances usually are met in a logical, left
brain mode; however by yielding to the right, creative
side of the brain we actually restore balance in the brain.
This allows access to the mind-body connection to achieve
what you want. The right side of the brain automatically
steers you to your goal. It totally accepts what you want
to accomplish without giving an opinion and acts upon it
without judgement. That is why visualization targets the
right, creative side of the brain and not the left, logical
side.
In a study of 50 people with advanced lung cancer,
those judged by their doctors to have high "spiritual
faith" responded better to chemotherapy and survived
longer. Over 40 per cent were still alive after three
years, compared with less than 10 per cent of those
judged to have little faith (In
Vivo, vol 22, p 577). |
Our minds possess the power to heal pain
and stress, and to blossom into health and well being.
If we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only
our mental and emotional afflictions, but physical problems
also.
You were created with an immune system of
cells and organs designed to keep you healthy. These cells
fight invaders and the Infinite Intelligence in your body
regenerates healthy cells automatically.
Positive thought is essential to producing
a positive result. Negative thoughts and emotions lower
the immune system, while positive thought and emotions
actually boost the immune system. ?
Does what we think really affect our physical
health?
Our hypothalamus in our brain is the emotional center
and it changes emotions into physical responses. Our thoughts
affect our bodies more so than we think. For instance,
when something scares us and we feel afraid, adrenaline
is produced in our bodies, so the emotion of fear caused
that adrenaline to be formed. The mind affected the physical
body. Neurotransmitters, which are chemical messenger hormones,
carry emotions “back and forth between the mind and
body.” Endorphins, which are released when we exercise,
are neurotransmitters that act as natural painkillers.
So in essence we want our neurotransmitters to be carrying
positive, healthy emotions to our body. So Interestingly
enough, it has been found that positive thoughts enhance
the immune system and negative thoughts wear the immune
system down.
Charles R. Collins wrote a book,
The ABCs of Life, and opened a practice as a faith
healer in Miami in the mid-70s. The basis of his
philosophy is shown in a simple experiment, he
says.
"Take eight to 10 good-sized
carrots," he told the Examiner, and cut off
the top, leaving about half an inch of carrot attached
to the top. "Be sure to cut any green sprouts
coming from the tops. Then place four or five carrot
tops in two dishes of water. Mark one dish with
a 'plus' sign and the other with a 'minus' sign.
Place both dishes on a sunny window sill.
Love (+)
"Several times a day pick
up one dish, tell the carrots how beautiful they
are and encourage them to grow.
Hate (-)
Do the opposite with the others:
curse them, hate them and think negative thoughts
toward them.
"Ninety-nine percent of the
time, the 'plus' carrots will sprout and flourish
while the ‘minus' ones will wither and die."
This simple carrot experiment offers
proof, says Collins, of living power of the human
Mind.
To test Collins' carrot growing
experiment, the National Examiner decided to conduct
the experiment in the office. We took six carrot
tops and divided them into two groups of three.
We gave them equal amounts of water and sunlight
under carefully controlled conditions. Our staff
treated one group with contempt and the other with
positive, loving thought.
To our amazement, the experiment
worked! The "bad" carrots turned brown
and died while the 'good' ones sprouted rich green
shoots! Source |
"Brain cells / neurons have long been known to communicate
with each other via chemical signals. But in the past,
these signals were thought to move only in the paths present
between cells. In recent years, however, Candace Pert,
Ph.D and other scientists have uncovered another communication
system: chemicals that work like free-floating telegrams,
sending messages between cells in different parts of the
brain, and between the brain and other parts of the body.
Some of these substances, such as insulin, have been known
for years, but scientists are now discovering that they
are produced by the brain, not just by organs like the
pancreas.
Edgar Cayce stated, "The spirit is life.
Mind is the builder. Physical is the result." Cayce,
like many others, believed that what we think is
what our body generally becomes. |
The idea that the mind and body are engaged in two-way
conversation is nothing new. Even the most skeptical doctors
will usually acknowledge that sheer will power often pulls
patients through life-threatening illnesses or injuries.
Now, with the realization that the brain can actually jump
start and enhance the body’s immune system, we are
in a whole new dimension of possibility."
The true nature of our minds is peaceful, as
the depth of the ocean is calm and clear. But when
we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants
and worries with all our energy, we lose our own
enlightened freedom and healing power, only to gain
stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement,
like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of
the ocean. |
Negativity
Wherever our mind focuses, that area
is exchanging more energy . It’s as simple as that.
Our thoughts are a continual process of focus and energy
transference.
Recent studies show that severe prolonged
stress and chronic negative thinking can
compromise the immune system. In a series of studies, Drs.
Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and Ron Glaser of Ohio State University
College of Medicine, compared blood tests for immune function
of medical students during exams to baseline blood tests
done one month prior to finals. A decline was noted in:
(1) natural killer T-cells which are responsible for fighting
viruses and even attacking different kinds of tumors, including
cancer (2) immune cells called Tlymphocytes (3) interferon,
a component which supports and boosts immune function.
This explains why college students suffering from “exam
stress” often become ill.
”..many persons subconsciously
don't want healing. They are attached to their
conditions and, whether they consciously realize
it or not, they enjoy the attention they get through
being ill. ... The power of the mind is unbelievable
... She was getting attention through [the arthritis].
The woman was totally healed, and five minutes
later she was totally sick again.”
The GRIT, Penn, 5/1977, quoting former psychic healer Charles R.

Can you stop negative thinking, NOW! The science of Psychoneuro-immunology
is crediting the ill effects of prolonged stress. Over
80% of illnesses have a root in anxiety, depression, and
stress. Chronic stress causes negative changes in the HPA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/,
and the immune system- weakening the body’s resiliance
to disease and the ability to regulate hormones. There
is a correlation between stress and dementia later in life. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
No one really understands how or why a positive
attitude helps people recover faster from surgery
or cope better with serious diseases — diseases
as serious as cancer, heart disease, and AIDS even
colds and flu's. But mounting evidence suggests that
these effects may have something to do with the mind’s
power over the immune system. One recent study, for
example, polled healthy first-year law students at
the beginning of the school year to find out how
optimistic they felt about the upcoming year. By
the middle of the first semester, the students who
had been confident that they would do well had more
and better functioning immune cells than the worried
students. (See Suzanne C. Segerstrom, Ph.D., et al., “Optimism
is Associated With Mood, Coping, and Immune Change
in Response to Stress,” Journal of Personality
and Social Psychology, Volume 74, Number 6, June
1998.) |
"Stress weakens the immune system and
has other serious effects on the brain and body such as
cardiovascular problems, and mental illness such as depression.Stress
also kills brain cells and lowers your learning abilities
or capabilities. Specifically, long periods of stress destroys
brain cells in the hippocampus and learning and memory
capabilities can be greatly reduced. Another factor is
that the brain absorbs information better when it is relaxed,
in a positive state of mind, and receptive to the information."
Do you think a Stressed
Mind full of negativities and turmoils Can creat harmony
in body, mind and soul.
Negative attitudes and beliefs can harm us. 411
cancer patients were told to expect hair loss from
a new chemotherapy drug. 30% of those who received
a placebo lost their hair anyway! Source |
First of all, thinking is "real" medicine, as
proven by the placebo effect. When given a sugar pill in
place of a prescription drug, an average of aprox 25% of
subjects will show a positive response. What causes this
response isn't a physical substance but the activity of
the mind-body connection. Expectations are powerful. If
you think you've been given a drug that will make you better,
often that is enough to make you better. Thats positive
thinking!!!
You are probably familiar with the concept
of cause and effect. All of our thoughts lay down imprints
on our mind which has the potential to ripen at some time
in the future. These thoughts can be positive, negative
or neutral. These thoughts are never lost. The negative
ones can ripen at any time in the form of problems or sickness;
the positive ones in the form of happiness, health or success.
What we do now determines what will happen to
us in the future.
All diseases originates from within, and
therefore can only be healed from within. Medicine only
facilitates healing but it does not heal. What matters
is not the medicine, but rather how you think of it. All
disease that manifests in the outer, physical body has
arisen from within the conscious or subconscious mind.
They are the effects of your thoughts and feelings.
"When I am ill, it is very easy for the
mind to become ill too. I tend to have negative thoughts
and suffer. These negative thoughts don't restrict
themselves to that particular part of the body, but
is carried forward to the entire body and the mind
too. The mind which has to be the healer, becomes
a victim and hence weak. At such times, it is important
that my mind is strong creating a positive influence
on the body. . " |
Every feeling, every emotion and every thought creates
a change in our body chemistry at the subatomic level.
And it is these quantum changes that create our state of
health. Thousands of cells are constantly being renewed
within the body in the exact image of your emerging state
of being. As we learn and develop throughout life, our
cells reflect how we think and feel.
Lets look at a single cell in the body. It will replicate
into millions of cells during its lifespan. If the cell
is charged with positive energy, it will replicate identical
cells. This process is called cellular healing. But if
the cell is under-charged with negative energy, it replicates
the same, 'negatively charged' cells. And so begins the
dis-ease process
The cellular healing process is about creating harmony
in body, mindl. If we think positive, our cells have a
positive vibration and generate more cells of the same.
If we think negatively our cells have an negative vibration
and generate more of the same. If we continue in this train
of thought, illness develops and persists. If we change
our thoughts to positive, the dis-ease cycle is interrupted
and with time our body will return to its natural state
of balance.
Our lives are filled with many
types of days, good, bad, weak and strong. Don’t
let the bad or weak ones take anything away from
you. Life is still good and you are still strong,
Never let a weak moment take away from you all the
strong ones you had.” ~ReneeScalfani~ |
On A Deeper level
The Cellular Memory is the complete blueprint for your
existence. It is the energetic expression of you, as you
have become. The human body was designed to 'register'
each persons life experience, in each and every cell. These
experiences that are retained in the body become 'cellular
memory' and influence our future actions and reactions.
Cellular memory allows us to recall events that we would
otherwise have forgotten - our emotional history is recorded
in our cells.. The more emotional an experience is for
us, the more likely we are to recall it because we become
'emotionally attached' to that event. These emotionally-charged
events are particularly powerful in effecting the body's
immontional and physical well being
Thoughts that feel good are registered by the body and
regenerate the cells with vitality and allow life force
to flow freely. On the flip side, negative thoughts are
resisted by the body's natural state and cause changes
in cells, tissues and organs. Persistent negative thoughts
create overwhelming resistance in the body and this resistance
is reflected in the body in the form of fatigue, viruses
and in extreme cases, cancer and other debilitating diseases.
The question is: In a fast paced
world chocked so full of stressful events, how does one
achieve balance.
A calm mind
can create positivity. harmony and Balance plus good
health
Brain hemisphere integration is very important
for utilizing the full capacity of the brain. It is wholesome
and highly beneficial Importance of Brain Hemisphere Integration.
It is a well-known fact that how we think affects every
thing we do in life – health, wealth, relationships,
and achievements. Successful people are positive thinkers
and they have positive states of mind. In contrast, most
ordinary people remain grooved in a cycle of negative thinking
and beliefs. This, they take as “normal” state
of their mind. However, in reality negative thinking and
attitudes reflect an unSynchronized mind. This is the status
of people whose brains are highly lateralized, ie, dominated
by either left or the right brain hemisphere.
On the contrary, people with well-developed mind have
their brain hemispheres well integrated operating as an
integrated whole unit. This automatically facilitates balanced
and clear positive thoughts. A person with synchronized
brain hemispheres is unlikely to fall prey to negative
thinking, pessimism, or depression.
The good news is: it is possible to rectify hemispheric
imbalance. The hemispheres are synchronized when they begin
to work together, communicate faster, and resonate at the
same frequencies. When this happens, new neural connections
form between the two hemispheres, resulting in what is
called whole brain functioning.
."Bob Beck Brain Tuner/Cranial Electrotherapy
Stimulation* invented in the early 1980s. There are later
BT's that have been refined. The Brain Tuner balances
the left and right brain hemispheres, balances
brain chemistry thereby neutralizing addictions and allergies
and reduces stress. It neutralizes depression, anxiety
and promotes endorphin production. It seems to promote
formation of dendrites resulting in a higher IQ. Over thirty
years of research all over the world shows that this type
of technology can neutralize hard-core alcoholism in appox
5-7 days for most individuals. Most people are no longer
addicted after that time. Cocaine, heroin and meth-amphetamines/ect.,
ect. is cleared in 5-7 days generally speaking. Cigarettes
are more difficult to neutralize quickly because research
has proven nicotine to be three times more addictive than
heroin. Usually within 2-3 weeks nicotine addiction is
neutralized."...
