All living things are inherently equipped to have a complete, self-sufficient and healthy life. Ill health is an unnatural
state. Unless living organisms are deprived of essential needs or have suffered injuries, they are intrinsically prepared to be free of disease. The healing process of an organism is within each living system itself, just like the process of respiration, digestion, secretion and reproduction. Health is a natural state, because it is harmony and balance. It is homeostasis. What makes Homo sapiens different from other living creatures regarding health? The answer is primarily emotional attitude, and the failure to use completely all of its species' brain potential!
Perhaps to pander to externally driven individuals, modern-day medicine men persist in promoting the idea of externality over internality. Doctors have often been irritated when the placebo effect has interrupted their control experiments and patients react just as strongly to sugar pills as the real thing, but doesn't this illustrate the dramatic effect the mind can have on the body through the internal power of belief?
The nocebo effect is a term that illustrates a negative effect because of the power of belief. The nocebo is when you give a normally "effective" drug to a patient, but there is no response because the doctor has convinced the patient the drug wouldn't work or was just water. Anything can serve as a nocebo just as anything can serve as a placebo -- medication, location, doctor's manner, etc. For instance, if you were told you had a heart disease, and believed it, you might easily die of it -- even if later it was found that your lab test results were mistakenly switched with another patient's. Could good health be as simple as -- "If you believe you deserve to be healthy and expect to be, you will be?!"
Suppose for a moment that the only reason anybody has or does not have a "curative" effect via a therapeutic method is because of his(her) belief about it! Even though medical school students learn very early that 40% or more of all their future patients will have primarily psychosomatic symptoms, they often discount the importance of the mind in healing the body. Ever since Mesmer, hypnotists have demonstrated the power of the mind to control pain and affliction in the body. Unfortunately, most people believe that their lives are controlled by external influences, so an outside source is usually sought for the treatment or cure of any ailment. Self-healing and faith healing thus share something in common. Internals believe their healing is largely self-generated, and externals find it easier to believe in something or someone outside themselves as the primary cause for the healing process. Of course, both are drawing from the same internal well, but from different perspectives.
Christian Science practitioners refuse surgical operations on serious ailments -- even cancer -- because of their belief structure of mind over matter through their spiritual connection. Why do they believe this? How can you reduce or eliminate your ailments through your inner source connection? First of all, you should have the awareness or realization that every particle and atom in the universe is connected in some way to every other particle. With simply the power of a thought visualization, you can rearrange the atoms in your body to produce a healthy condition. You can consciously feel, integrate and manipulate your cellular structure through the power of your thoughts. You can visualize the ailment diminishing and diminishing until finally the excretory system carries it away. This imaging process then transforms itself into reality. The prayers of others can also help to resonate the process to make the metamorphosis more complete. In the East, yogis and lamas use similar visualizations to achieve the same result. They may even add to the process by vibrating tinner tissues with a chant, like 'Aum-m-m,' or assist the process with "sound toning" of the body's tissues. Why do people vary so much in how they respond to illness? Research has shown that there are genetic, nutritional and mind set differences. Although genetic engineering is making some medical headway, nutritional and attitudinal changes in personal behavior can be addressed by anyone. These people often change from repressing their emotions to expressing their emotions outwardly in an honest way. Instead of remaining in a job or relationship that they don't like, they decide to be honest with themselves & others, and do only what they feel will make them happier. By doing what makes you happy, you don't internalize the destructive emotions that can help to develop in physical disease and mental disorder. Expressing yourself honestly becomes a release. Fears, blocks and objections are replaced with the courage to live and respond to the adventures and challenges of every new day. By practicing the things that supercharge your immune system -- meditation, guided imagery, self-hypnosis, positive affirmation, relaxed deep breathing and understanding & expressing yourself better -- you can indeed become superhealthy. Since your emotional attitude has a direct relationship to your immune system, a person who expresses happiness, laughter, love, friendliness and helpfulness is far less likely to contract disease than a person who is angry, fearful, hateful, depressed or worrisome. Why? Because a positive emotional attitude is more harmonious with good health than a negative attitude. It is also interesting how this concept is simply common sense to an internally driven person.
