We have
the power to create physical health and mental health, simply by paying
attention to the tapes running in our minds. |

The power of the mind is a curious thing
because it is so powerful yet so difficult to control sometimes. We find
ourselves thinking a certain way, knowing that this thought may be creating
trouble for us, yet we find it difficult to stop. For example, many people
have the experience of getting sick at the same time every year or every time
they go on a plane. They may even be aware that their beliefs impact their
experiences. But they continue to think they will get sick, and then they do. Sometimes we need to get sick in order to
process something or move something through our body. But often we get sick
or feel exhausted because we don’t make the effort to galvanize the power of
our minds in the service of our physical health, which is one of its most
important functions. We really can use it to communicate to our body, yet we
often regard the two as separate entities that have little to do with one
another. Knowing this, we have the power to create
physical health and mental health, simply by paying attention to the tapes
running in our minds. Once we hear ourselves, we have the option to let that
tape keep running or to make a new recording. When we choose supportive,
healing words that foster good health and high spirits, we harness the power
of the mind in our defense. All we need to do is to tend to the field of our
mind with the attentive and loving hand of a master gardener taking care of
their flower beds by culling out the weeds so that the blossoms may come to
fruition. |
