The Power of Thoughts
I’ve always believed that what we think about significantly affects how we feel, but it is only most recently did I realize how much more powerful our thoughts really are. Not only can our act of thinking dictate whether at that moment we feel happy or sad, it is said that we are and become what we think about most. In other words, we are what we think and what we think a lot about, we come to believe that for ourselves and inevitably, become that very person.
The significance of our thoughts is that while in the not-so-distant past we believed that our disease state was mostly physical and physiological or isolated in the body, recent studies in the field of neuroscience present convincing evidence that changing the way we think may hold the secret to reversing and curing whatever chronically ails us. Dr. Joe Dispenza (Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One and Evolve Your Brain) has been collecting breakthrough reproducible data in this field for the last 5 years.
Through the study of quantum physics, we understand that we are a collection of vibrating molecules giving off energy. Thoughts have vibrational frequency and so thoughts are energetic in nature. Consequently, all thoughts that vibrate a certain way will connect with the body and cause focused activation of a specific organ system, whether the signature vibration is positive or negative, health or disease. Negative thoughts will vibrate a certain way in which disease is triggered in the body, whereas positive thoughts will correspond with health and vitality.
Remember that the body is a faithful servant of the mind. Whatever the mind says or thinks, the body follows. An example is the common phenomenon of the white coat syndrome, in which individuals maintain that whenever they are in a healthcare practitioner’s office, their blood pressure becomes elevated. Every time I have repeated the reading, I noticed that if I have them perform slow breathing exercises, the pressure invariably never fails to drop .
This can be easily explained. For those who have this tendency, once they walk in, it is as if their mind shouts out, “Fire! Run!” yet there is no fire. So, once you instruct them to begin purposeful slow and deep breathing in and out, the mind realizes that no one is being chased so it withdraws the cortisol stress hormone and everything relaxes; and as a result, the blood pressure decreases through a series of feedback loops between the mind and body.
Studies have shown that the mind can tell the body the truth or something imagined and the body has no ability to differentiate the 2 and acts accordingly. For this reason, there have been a plethora of documented testimonials illustrating how over time, the mindset can be altered by setting up a new core image and thus the body willingly follows suit to reflect what the image represents.
The key to wield this power effectively, however, requires that we are as specific as possible regarding the goal health we are trying to attain. It is also extremely important that we know why. Why do we want this health goal? What can we see ourselves do differently in our lives, such as our interactions with people, relationships, physical activities, hobbies of interest, etc., and then to add grateful emotion to anchor this and act as if our goal has been achieved right now. This may seem too easy or even silly to accomplish, but though it may seem so, the execution poses quite the challenge for many.
We are too influenced by how we define our current circumstances using our human 5 senses.
I’ve discovered also that for those who have been dealing with illness for some prolonged period of time, they tend to have unfounded beliefs that great health is possible for other people but not for them. Interestingly, many people emphatically dislike disease and illness much more than they love health. The focus is not in the right direction. And, of course as mentioned above, whatever we give most attention and life to, or whatever we perpetuate, ends up lingering on with us and as a result, we are unable to successfully direct ourselves onto the path of healing.
Most recently, an ever increasing number of my clients have been experiencing dramatic transformations in their health through focused specific thinking. When they hold that thought of wellness, health and strength, reinforcing that thought diligently throughout the day, eventually, the effort will reach a threshold detected by the 5 senses and change for the better becomes noticeable. Thinking is key to the creation of our new model of being cured, rather than continued futile attempts to change the current reality (Buckminster Fuller).
Many experiments have been performed illustrating the above. One involved a blindfolded subject instructed to hold out her arms. Sticks maintained at room temperature were used to gently make contact with her arms, one was told to be very hot and the other very cold. The subject let out an “Ouch!” after a rapid inhale through the mouth when the “hot” stick touched her skin. When the blindfold was removed, it was discovered that the corresponding arm showed a burnt mark as if the stick was hot, yet it was never placed in fire.
Our mind is more powerful than we were led to believe.
The secret to successful transformation from disease to thriving wellness is to learn to focus our thoughts on embracing wellness instead of hating illness. Lastly, we must remember to be as specific as possible regarding how we really want to be and feel and the reasons why we desire this. Specificity and details provide the GPS to get us where we want to go. Having reasons gives us permission to think and visualize freedom. At the end of the day, our innate ability to imagine and exercise our power of thought is ultimately the secret to changing and leveling up our A game of living well and beyond.
Meditation and Relaxation
1) Have you written down your 8 to 10 gratitudes this morning or evening? If you haven’t done so yet, go ahead and take a few minutes to do so and remember to spend a minute or 2 really feeling each of them.
2) Find a quiet place to sit up comfortably. Close your eyes gently and begin to breathe in slowly through the nose or pursed lips and track the breath all the way down into the belly (5-7 seconds) and then exhale through the mouth pushing the belly back towards the spine (5-7 seconds). Repeat 2 or more times as desired.
3) We will access the following Meridian Points on which to apply repetitive pressure from the finger tips or a tapping action:
—Chest points, one or both sides
—Eye brow, one or both sides
—Corner of eye, one or both sides
—Under the eye, one or both sides
—Under the nose above the upper lip
—Under the lower lip at the dip
—Chest points, one or both sides
—Blade of hand, staying with one hand or alternating between both hands
—Ribcage or side of body under the armpit, one or both sides
—Chest points, one or both sides
(Feel free to change, add or repeat any Meridian points to personalize today’s program)
4) Intentional Statement-Questions to Accompany the Meridian Points
—How have I been able to release all things not serving me that I didn’t notice before?
—How have I been able to turn my health around that I didn’t notice before?
—How has my mind been able to elevate my body’s health that I didn’t notice before?
—How did I attract so many things in life to be grateful for that I didn’t notice before?
—Why am I always more than enough as I am that I didn’t notice before?
—Why do I always have more than enough that I didn’t notice before?
—Why am I always worthy of having all of my needs met that I didn’t notice before?
—Why do I love myself enough to show up as I am that I didn’t notice before?
—How do I have such a high level of patience that I didn’t notice before?
—How has greatness happened through me everyday that I didn’t notice before?
—How have I been blessed with tremendous abundance that I didn’t notice before?
(Again, feel free to personalize these statement-questions by changing, adding, or repeating your favorites)
5) Conclude with the breathing exercises in 2), after which you can choose to continue sitting quietly for 30 to 45 more minutes or open your eyes gently and get ready for the day or for bedtime depending on when you do this. Remember to journal you 8-10 gratitudes and take a moment to anchor emotion into them. Really feel each one. According to neuroscience research, emotion added to intention releases high levels of vibrational energy.
