You Can Heal Yourself – The Mind is Your Pharmacy!
According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of the book, “The Biology of Belief,” many of our thoughts and beliefs originate from other people, like our parents and friends, and our subconscious mind works like a recording device to store all of these “programs”. Our entire perception of the world is a culmination of verbal and non-verbal suggestions that we experience throughout our lives. Through positive and negative conditioning, these experiences form our beliefs.
We all have the ability to rewrite these “programs” in our sub-conscious through repetitive use of positive visualization and affirmations, or “Epigenetic Control.” (See our other post titled, “Daily Affirmations”). Positive visualization uses thoughts that produce positive emotions, which in turn manifest into positive physical sensations and reactions in our bodies. This can allow access to a deeper connection between our mind and body. This practice helps to activate the mind and body to work together to begin the healing process, and replace diseased cells with healthy ones.
According to Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Bruce Lipton, “New discoveries in cell biology, epigenetics, and physics demonstrate that we are not victims of our genes but instead, we have unlimited capacity to live a life overflowing with peace, happiness and love.” A growing number of scientists agree that people who are more aware of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors have better emotional and physical health. Dr. Dyer and Dr. Lipton share with us an inspiring, eye-opening must-see interview. You can stream Part I here and Part II here.
Gregg Braden, author of the book, “The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits,” states that if “we change our thinking and understand the limits of our capabilities, we can begin to understand that we are not bound by [what we know to be] the laws of physics.” If Gregg Braden is right, the implications are staggering. We may actually be able to transcend all perceived laws, including the law of aging.
For those skeptical of the malleability of the human body, or that we can affect our genetics with our mind, let’s examine the science of thought. When you think a particular thought, synapses fire along a series of neurons. As that happens, the connections are strengthened, therefore, it only takes a certain number of particular thoughts to significantly change the physiology of the brain!
We all can attract our own perfect health through positive thoughts, meditation and visualization. Our minds are more powerful than we often give credit. We are not limited by our genes, only by our perceptions.
“You are not the victim, you are the Master.” -Dr. Bruce Lipton
