As I discussed in Part 1 and Part 2 of The Power of Your Thoughts of 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 to your body. When you combine the two, your thoughts are incredibly important to your health. I am not saying that thinking empowering thoughts will instantly heal you, but thinking about illness and death could have a negative effect on your health. I believe that learning to change your thoughts to empowering, positive ones that support your goals can help you heal, and is therefor an important method of energy healing.
After hearing the diagnosis of Lou Gehrig’s disease or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), I looked into what supplements could help support my body. I did not do research on what would happen as the disease progressed and didn’t think about dying. I continued to work, to work out, cook and to ride my horse. Riding my horse made me so happy it filled me with joy. Obviously, my body wasn’t working properly so riding had its challenges, but I did what I could. I also loved cooking and enjoyed working, they gave me a sense of accomplishment. During the first few years the progression of the disease was slow.
Things got more challenging when the life I had known fell apart because of marital problems, divorce and financial worries. At that point, my condition got much worse because of stress of the negativity of my thoughts. It took years of research, learning about energy healing and healing work to turn it around and I started seeing physical improvement. As I said in Part 2, when things in your life are not going the way you want, it can be difficult to keep an optimistic viewpoint and think empowering thoughts. It does require practice and being around people who support you and your hopes and goals.
In addition to paying attention to your thoughts, look around you, your physical reality shows you what you are thinking. I am sure than many people won’t like to hear that they created the life they are living, and maybe they didn’t. But, I can now see that my thoughts created an environment that was very stressful and how that decreased my body’s vitality. My body was so stressed that it did not function correctly and I got physically ill. I will discuss the impact of stress and trauma and method of identifying and clearing them in later posts.
Action Steps to Changing your Thoughts
- Decide what you want, it could be health, a new job or an improved relationship;
- Focus on how you would feel emotionally when you achieve your goal; or
- If you don’t have a specific goal, focus on anything positive you can find in your situation that makes you feel good;
- Monitor your thoughts; if you are feeling angry, sad or hopeless, then you are not thinking thoughts that will help you. Learn to release the emotion behind those thoughts. Change to the positive thoughts that make you feel good;
- Look at your life and physical reality; if your life is not what you want it to be, then you need to change your thoughts.
- Keep reading or listening to anything that makes you feel good or inspires you. See list below for the things I found helpful on My Favorites tab.
- When something happens that causes emotional pain, take a few minutes to allow yourself to feel the pain and then release it.
I truly believe that I will heal completely; I visualize what I will look when I am healed and how that will make me feel. I do not focus on the disease or the worst case scenario. When something happens that is upsetting or makes me sad, I let myself feel it and then use one of the releasing/clearing techniques that I know. Then I find something uplifting or inspirational so that I feel good. Remember what Esther and Jerry Hicks say.
“Choose Better-Feeling Thoughts”1
I hope that I have explained just how important it is to think empowering thoughts that are in alignment with your goals, are positive and have a high vibrational frequency. Changing your thoughts is a form of energy healing because it impacts the energy in your body and that is either beneficial or harmful. I have a lists in speakers and books that I find informative and inspirational in My Favorites Tab. Now I will discuss the causes of illness and how to clear the stress and trauma that impacts our health and remove blocks and limiting beliefs.
Love and Light,
