If you read my first blog you will know that I believe a healing strategy should address the four issues related to Thoughts, Releasing stress, Body and Spirit. In this series, I want to discuss how our thoughts affect illness and healing and specifically and how you can use your thoughts to help your body heal. I absolutely believe that the reason that I am still alive and now healing has everything to do with my thoughts and what I have learned in the last five years. I also know my thoughts are the reason that I got sick and why it took so long for me to heal. 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. I believe that changing what you think about is a method of energy healing because it can change the energy around you and inside you. In this blog I want to discuss the first way that our thoughts influence our health, through the law of attraction.
I am sure most people in the world have heard of the concepts based on the Law of Attraction even if it they don’t know it by that name. Sayings such as “like attracts like”, “change the way you think about thinks and the things you look at change” and “ask and it is given” demonstrate that the ideas behind this law have been around us our whole life. The thoughts that you have when combined with emotion and focus, attract or bring the things you think about into your life. The amount of emotion you put behind the thoughts give them power.
“A man is but the product of his thoughts
what he thinks, he becomes.”
— Mahatma Gandhi:was a political and spiritual leader of India 2
Someone might be thinking that they have achieved great success and have never heard of the Law of Attraction and that may be true. Then ask them how they achieved their success and I will bet that identifying what they want, knowing with certainty that they will achieved it and focused attention will be among the things they list as reasons for their success. These are all things that make the law work. Of course, action is also required, but action alone won’t get you where you want to go. It’s not about wishing, thinking positive unrealistic thoughts or repeating affirmations, although these do make funny movies, TV commercials and YouTube videos. It is about creation through focused attention backed with emotion.
One of my favorite speakers on this topic is Dr. Joe Vitale who has many books and audio recordings among the ones that I recommend are “The Attractor Factor” and “The Abundance Paradigm”. His books focus around attracting money, but the principles can be applied to health or anything else. He found a book that was out of print called “At Your Command” by Neville Goddard and he reprinted it as an eBook. I enjoyed reading the book and found many inspirational things in it. One of my favorite quotes is:
“To dissolve a problem that now
seems so real to you, all that you
do is remove your attention from it”1
I believe this statement is critically important, of course you can’t live in denial, but you shouldn’t focus your attention on having an “incurable” illness or on dying. I keep hearing that people who are diagnosed with ALS are expected to live 3 to 5 years. I am living proof that that isn’t necessarily true as I have lived well past that and I am now healing. I have always tried to focus on finding things that would help my body heal, some helped and some didn’t, but I never gave up. I did not have my attention on dying and I never believed I would die from ALS, but not having my attention on the physical limitations proved challenging and I am still improving in this area. See My Favorites page for a list of resources on this topic.
Thinking empowering thoughts that are in alignment with your goal is just one of the aspects of my healing strategy, I also do several energy healing techniques, take supplements and listen to and read things that inspire me. It is all helping me heal.
Love and Light,
Dawn
