I’m preparing a little talk at my local library for
“Health Week,” an event targeted for baby boomers. My
topic, “Five Simple Things You Can Do to Protect Your
Heart and Brain,” seems pretty straightforward. But I’m
guessing people’s receptivity to my thoughts will
depend on their agenda–conscious or not.
What would yours be?
Would you be there with open curiosity and willingness
to do all you can to care for yourself so that you can
have confidence in your body and mind as you age?
Would you be there with suspicion, ready to challenge
anything that doesn’t agree with your already
established ideas about your health, or to challenge me
because I’m not an authority you’ve chosen to trust?
Would you be there with resistance, part of you hoping
for something easy to do, and part of you certain that
I’ll tell you to do something you won’t want to, or
can’t do?
Would you be there with a hundred questions,
unconsciously engaging in a habit of using all your
energy to stay in doubt, uncertainty, confusion, and
indecision rather than picking a direction and moving
forward?
If your thought was that you wouldn’t be there at all,
why?
Having read this far, you’ve perhaps engaged your
thinking. Pause for a moment and notice how you feel.
…
Now, I invite you to step back and think of someone who
loves you, however imperfectly. Or, to think of someone
or something you love, even if not perfectly.
When you are in a space of love, you can be receptive
to ideas—your own wisdom and inspiration, and useful
ideas of others. In a space of love, you’ll be able to
feel what is right for you, without needing to fight
against what isn’t.
When you read or listen to “The Science of Being Well,”
you may find yourself engaging your thinking mind, and
agreeing or disagreeing with Mr. Wattles. Notice how
you feel if you approach the book from this
perspective.
But notice what happens when you step back and just
feel the love of this man who witnessed healing and
wanted so much to help others, however imperfect his
explanations.
Notice what happens if you let yourself feel my love
for you, however imperfectly I may express it, and even
if we may have never met.
And notice what happens, if you believe in God, or
believe in some other loving non-physical power, and
you let yourself feel love pouring into and all around
you?
When you are in the space of love, what happens to the
importance of micro-managing your thoughts, what and
how you eat, whether or not you sleep with your windows
open, how far you walked yesterday?
It’s not that the details don’t matter. They are
wonderful tools for demonstrating your own caring for
yourself. But when you find yourself in your head,
feeling anything but joyfully curious, try widening
back into your heart.
will your talk be recorded ?
Hi Beth,
I doubt the live talk will be recorded, but I may create a webinar or teleseminar with the same information.
With appreciation,

true theres no money in a cure. The Pharmaceutical Cooperations Make Billions a year and can affrod to lobby congress all they want so they don’t have to do proper testing before putting a new medicine on the market. Its true that EFT wont cure all the Damage that chemicals cause, but It will help with the Mental aspects. How one feels about a disease will affect how their body reacts to it.
Rabi,
When I read your comment that “it’s true that EFT won’t cure all the Damage that chemicals cause, but it will help with the Mental aspects. How one feels about a disease will affect how their body reacts to it.” it gave me pause.
I wondered for a long time what really is the relationship between mind and body, and given my experience that using EFT can completely eliminate pain or a common cold, there’s no other explanation but that EFT can indeed directly change the body, not just the mental aspects. I’ve worked a lot with toxicity in particular. I no longer believe that any “damage” is more than temporary. And in my experience, changing how one thinks can reverse physical “damage.”
In my own case, I had become multiply chemically sensitive. Changing my thought environment was all it took to reverse all my symptoms. It may be that the chemicals are still there, but apparently my body is no longer reacting to them.
