As I discussed in Part 1 of The Power of Your Thoughts and Energy Healing, your thoughts not only form what comes into your life, the law of attraction, but they also create energy that is either beneficial or harmful. In this post, I want to discuss the second way that our thoughts influence our health; it is that they contain energy. Everything contains energy and energy vibrates at varying rates. So, at any given point, we have a certain vibrational frequency which is influenced by what we think, what we eat and our environment. Positive thoughts are believed to have a higher vibrational frequency and are more beneficial than negative thoughts. So learning to change from negative thoughts and emotions is a form of energy healing,
Dr. David R. Hawkins performed a study to map the levels of consciousness which is documented in his book Power vs. Force. He used applied kinesiology (muscle testing) to determine the level of consciousness of thousands of test subjects holding certain thoughts. He rates the level of 1 is just being alive and 1000 as being enlightened. As he discusses in the book he had subjects hold the thought of love and then tested them at various numbers and determined love had a level of 500. According to Dr. Hawkins, “all levels below 200 are destructive of life in both the individual and society at large; all levels above 200 are constructive expressions of power.” 1 So according to this work, holding emotions such as humiliation, blame, despair, regret, anxiety, craving, hate or scorn are destructive to your life as they are below the level of 200.
The way to tell the vibrational frequency of a thought is to evaluate how you feel when you are thinking the thought. In Ask and it is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, they say that our emotions are like a gauge for the vibrational frequency of your thoughts. One of my favorite things comes from their work; throughout their writing and DVDs they tell us to “choose better-feeling thoughts”2. If a thought feels good it’s beneficial and if it feels bad it’s harmful. It is just like any other skill it takes time to learn how to focus on positive things and not lack and limitations, so practice and you will get stronger.
Another one of my favorite speakers is Dr. Sue Morter; she is a chiropractor, has a healing center and conducts seminars all over the world. I recommend attending her seminars, buying her DVDs or subscribing to her Monthly Message. In her April 2012 Monthly Message audio recording, she said “What you think about is more important than what you eat and what you eat is huge”3. If you go to the Morter Institute website you can see how much importance she places on nutrition and diet, so I believe this statement is meaningful. She also uses an energy healing technique called BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) which I am sure is very good.
When I first started learning about the law of attraction I thought it was bad to think about or feel thoughts that were negative because I thought it would bring negative things. But the problem is, just because you attempt to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones, doesn’t make the negative ones disappear. Those negative thoughts just stay below the surface until something causes them to reappear. The first time I remember hearing someone say that you should go into your feelings and really let yourself feel them was from Dr. Sue Morter. I went a seminar and had a treatment and she told me that I had a lot of anger and I should let myself feel it and I remember being surprised. I am sure some else has made a similar statement, but I never really remember hearing it. So, first feel, process and release the negative thoughts and then find positive ones to replace them. (I just started an energy healing method called “The Release Technique” that helps you learn to release negative emotions, so stay tuned I will write about it when I am done.)
Another very important thing to mention on the topic is the expression of Gratitude. In addition to the feeling of gratitude having a high vibrational frequency, when you feel grateful it also will bring more things for you be feel grateful. I don’t think I have ever heard someone discuss these topics and not discuss the importance of gratitude.
Thinking empowering thoughts that are positive and have a high vibrational frequency and are in alignment with your goal is just one of the aspects of my healing strategy, I also do several other energy healing techniques, take supplements and listen to and read things that inspire me. It is all helping me heal.
Love and Light,
