INNER HEALTH

The Secret, The Mind And The Way We Think - Can It Affect Our Health?
By Liz Ferguson

All those exponents of THE SECRET will loudly acclaim. "YES IT DOES".
The Secret teaches that our brain and the way we think is absolutely crucial to our results in life, no matter what those results may be, whether they be health, finances, relationships etc. Bob Proctor today is still teaching these principles and my guess is that he's making a fortune. If he is making so much money then what he teaches must be working for people otherwise his product would be valueless.

Anthony Robins, the guru of personal development teaches these principles as does Gerry Clark, world renouned motivator.

Dr Caroline Leaf from South Africa has a book out that is absolutely amazing. ( "'WHO SWITCHED OFF MY BRAIN''.) She has researched this concept, used it in her practise and teaches it all around the world. She has found that the brain sends out different signals with each different emotion. These signals are responsible for the release of different chemicals. Good emotion equals good healthy chemicals, example serotonin.. Bad emotion (fear) equals bad chemical, example adrenalin.

Now don't get me wrong here, adrenalin in moderation is good, in copious amounts, like all day and for weeks on end is damaging to the system, it's an overload, therefore toxic.That is like a lot of things in this world we live in.

Sunshine for example is very good for us, very necessary for our bodies, for our Vitamin D supplies and my opinion is that we know nothing compared to what there is to know. So my guess is that there is another 20 or so reasons why sunlight is good for us ; BUT not in overdoses. Sunburn being an obvious detrimental result along with skin cancer and sun spots.

Back to Dr Leaf, she has actual brain shots in her book that shows how damaging emotions can kill off parts of the brain (and I thought it was only pot users and alcoholics).

Another doctor in the US whom is often interviewed on some of the christian networks is Dr Don Colbert.. Here is a man who trained as a conventional doctor, was in practise for several years but had severe health problems himself. He "SAW THE LIGHT "so to speak and searched for solutions firstly for his own personal issues and then for his patients. He also is a strong exponent of the way we think affecting our health. I personally have seen him interviewed several times and he explains the relationship between the emotions and the toxic chemicals that damage our health. He calls them toxic emotions.

K C Craichy in his book SUPER HEALTH talks of the damages of stress on our health. Now tell me, how many everyday, conventional doctors understand the damaging effects of stress? The answer to that question will have to be in the hundreds of thousands I believe.
KC recommends prayer and meditation. Turning to God in times of worry and apprehension as we learn to trust in a far greater power rather that ourselves allows peace and calmness in much more readily. He also says in his book that stress management doesn't mean eliminating stress, it means changing how we react to it so that we don't feel overwhelmed by it..

On that note I remember something Jerry Clarke said on a tape that I used to own. He said that if something that he desired seemed too difficult, if he saw it as too hard but it was possible, he would simply change the meaning of the word easy. He now describes everything that he desires and is possible to do as EASY

Therefore it is a MIND THING after all.

My brother used the simple principle of not getting upset about anything while he was going through his conventional chemo and ray treatments. He simply says that he doesn't give a hoot. I think that being faced with such a life threatening prognosis as 6 months to live and get your affairs in order would be a great stimulus to me to change a lot of things. Hopefully I would change enough to get the job done.

I believe with all my heart that there is an answer, cure or at the very least huge help for every disease or illness that confronts mankind. All we have to do is to find it. Not everyone will, not because the answer is not there but because many of us do not do what it takes to find our answers. As Jerry Clarke would say, its easy, (possible)
