An important step in any healing strategy is increasing your vitality. Our bodies are designed to heal, but they often are not able to because they lack vitality. Vitality comes in many ways such as being in nature, eating nutritious foods, taking supplements and energy healing. There is another way to increase vitality, one that is often overlooked, it is loving and feeling loved.
Love, Medicine and Miracles
In his book Love, Medicine and Miracles, Dr. Bernie Siegel explains the impact of love of the immune system and healing.
“I feel that all disease is ultimately related to a lack of love, or to love that is only conditional, for the exhaustion and depression of the immune system thus created leads to physical vulnerability.”1
“I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals.”1
It has taken many years, but the most important thing I have learned on my ALS healing journey, is how to love myself. In the Release Technique we learn that Love is inside of us, we have the power to feel and be loved any time we want. Release Technique is very focused on Love, click here to learn more.
Biology of Belief
If you study energy healing you will see and hear people talking about The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton, it is an interesting and enlightening book. Here he discusses the importance of joy and love.
“It is also important to note to fully experience your vitality it takes more than just getting rid of life’s stressors. In a growth-protection continuum, eliminating the stressors only puts you at the neutral point in the range. To fully thrive, we must not only eliminate the stressors but also actively seek joyful, loving, fulfilling lives that stimulates growth processes.”2
Levels of Consciousness
As I discussed in my (thoughts frequency) post, David R. Hawkins, M.D. mapped the levels on consciousness. “All levels below 200, it is destructive of life in both the individual and society at large; all levels above 200 are constructive expressions of power.”3 Since love has the level of consciousness of 500, it would be very constructive, especially when you consider this is a logarithmic scale.
“Love is a state of being. It is a way of relating to the world which is forgiving, nurturing and supportive.”3
In my opinion, relieving stress and learning to feel loved are critical steps in healing and should be a part of every healing strategy. Many look for joy, happiness and love out there somewhere, but it starts within you. You need to be able to love yourself even when your body is not yet healed, have no money or are alone, that’s the true test.
Many people have healed from ALS and every other disease using prayer and meditation because they raise their level of consciousness to put you in a more healing place.
Learn to Love, No Matter What,
