I’ve been thinking about the video with Dr. Lissa Rankin I recommended last week as the best video I’d ever seen about the impact of the mind on healing. (If you haven’t watched it yet, I still highly recommend it!) <\/p>\n
-> http:\/\/bit.ly\/LissaRankin<\/a><\/p>\n One of the points Dr. Rankin made that really got my attention while watching it was that in any given moment, you’re either in stress or relaxation–and it really matters which state you’re in!<\/p>\n She said that your body interprets as a threat anything that triggers your anger, fear, sadness, worry, resentment, and this stress causes the body’s repair and growth mechanisms to shut down. The only time you’re able to heal is when you’re in the relaxation response, she said. <\/p>\n Pretty clear, I was thinking. All we have to do is ask ourselves what we’re upset about, and we know why we’re sick, or not healing. Then, tap about it to release the stress, and voila!<\/p>\n Actually, this works for me most of the time, which is why I’m such a fan of tapping.<\/p>\n BUT, and it’s a big BUT, she didn’t include something that for me is a given, and is surely why I get great results as often as I do. <\/p>\n What she missed was that thing that’s been keeping you going your whole stressed life, DESPITE all your stressful thoughts, and is the REASON all you have to do to start healing is relax and let go of your stressful beliefs.<\/p>\n That thing is what Mr. Wattles calls the One Living Substance, aka, The Principle of Life, which provides your personal Principle of Health–the life force that creates and sustains your body.<\/p>\n Maybe you call it God.<\/p>\n Sometimes I think of it as a huge, powerful river of peace and happiness that is carrying me along. Me letting go of stressful beliefs is like dipping a cup into the stream and having a drink, opening my eyes, and enjoying the beautiful, amazing ride. <\/p>\n When I’m believing my stressful thoughts, it’s like I’m dying of thirst, imagining nightmarish scenes that play out behind my closed eyes, and missing all the joy of the ride.<\/p>\n My belief that such a wonderful force exists and carries you, me, everyone I know in the way that’s perfect for each of us, helps me relax the belief I sometimes get caught up in, that I need to micro-manage everyone, my body, and everything about myself, my loved ones, and the world in order to be okay.<\/p>\n When I forget about this force, I find myself slipping into states of enormous anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, anger, resentment, shame, and regret. Plus, when I think about tapping, or law of attraction, or “I create my own reality” when I’m in this stressful state, I feel all the more anxious about needing to control my thinking and let go of negativity. <\/p>\n Remembering this Presence makes it MUCH easier to get good results from any method I try to use. <\/p>\n So, that’s my campaign speech to get you to join the winning team, and believe (or remember) that YES, there IS a wondrous force that’s already carrying you along, and there’s nothing you need to do to keep it going, flowing, and carrying you. Your only choice is how much you let yourself enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n What do you think about the video and these thoughts?
