Creating Health Through Mind, Body, and Spirit

As you will recall in Part I of Metaphysical Healing verses Modern Medicine, Modern Medicine perceives the human body as a battleground on which wars are waged against invaders (viruses, bacterial infections and tumors). What Modern Medicine fails to recognize is that diseases are not separate from the person. In fact every disease can be more accurately called an expression of the patient’s lifestyle, beliefs, and energies. Cancer is not a tumor, for example: it is a systemic disorder that can only truly be cured by helping to support the body, not by attacking it with chemical bombs or knives. The tumor is merely one physical expression of the systemic disorder, and simply removing the tumor does nothing to cure the disease. The body is designed to heal itself—given it has the proper care—nutrition, herbal supplements, spiritual and emotional well-being.

The first step in creating a healthy Mind, Body and Spirit is making a philosophical shift—creating a new paradigm regarding your relationship with your Mind, Body and Spirit.  For some this shift will be something they have read about, thought about, but didn’t know how to begin or follow through.  For others this shift might be analogous to jumping off the Empire State Building.  Let me assure you no one has ever died as a result of making this shift—the consistent results are better more vibrant health.  No matter your age or ‘unhealthy’ condition making this shift will create better health.  The most effective and powerful way to better health is to completely shift everything at once; Mind-Set, Emotions, Nutrition, Exercise, Spirituality,  However, I appreciate the fear of the unknown holds the majority of people back from such a ‘radical’ change.  Most people begin making changes gradually.  Needless-to-say, making changes gradually hampers the immediate results you want to see.  If you make changes gradually you may not see results for several months.  If you made changes on all levels simultaneously you will see results within a week or sometimes even hours.

The second step is a big leap of faith—giving up the idea that Modern Medicine is the end-all-be-all to create and maintain a healthy body.  The United States ranks 16th or more in the world on effectively treating health related issues.  If Modern Medicine was as effective as the commercials on TV purports it to be, one would think the United States would rank number one in treating all health issues. Your guidance on health issues need to be shifted to a Naturopath or Iridologist.  There is a plethora of information on the internet on the practice of Naturopathy and Iridology.  Do the research. The AMA and APA does a brilliant job selling the idea that they and only they know your body.  Ask anyone from China, India, Japan, Europe and they politely laugh about our beliefs on maintaining health. A Naturopath or Iridologist accesses the level of body health and recommends the required nutrition, herbs and supplements necessary to bring your body back to optimum functioning.

The third step is another leap of faith—literally and figuratively—shifting your belief on spirituality.  In Part I, Metaphysical Healing verses Modern Medicine, I said, “Every Thing in the universe is Energy and Consciousness. How anyone thinks or feels about that ‘Fact’ cannot change it. The purpose of ‘All’ religions is the recognition that humans have a part of themselves that is not physical and there is a need to explore and experience this aspect of oneself. Part of the intent is to discover one’s purpose and to live in the best way possible; part of that goal also includes the attainment of ‘Truth and Spiritual Wellness.’” Religions fail to attain ‘Truth and Spiritual Wellness.’ Proof that religion has failed in this regard manifests through the wars we continue to create; and the emotional dysfunctions people continue to struggle with.  Peace of mind is essential to create a healthy body and also to create a healthy world.   Peace of mind can be attained through Yoga, exercise, emotional healing and connecting to ones inner-self.   Gurus, Avatars, Shamans, Spiritual Leaders can guide you into your inner-self.  Spirituality is based on the belief that Every Thing in the universe is Energy and Consciousness.  Where is your Consciousness?  It is within you.  Therefore, going within is the only way to create Peace of Mind. Also, going within, creates a connection with an ‘Essence’ greater than yourself.  In the world of spirituality you are free to call this ‘Essence’ whatever feels right to you.  Attaining ‘Peace of Mind’ is an inside job.  Find a Gurus, Avatar, Shaman, or Spiritual Leader to guide your Spiritual growth—outside the only religion you have ever known.

The Fourth Step is making a mind-set—a.k.a. values and beliefs—shift. Remember we are including the Mind, Body and Spirit in the quest to create health as they are not separate.  Although, you have used your conscious mind to make the previous shifts, there are other mind shifts.  You need to access all your values and beliefs.  Take inventory….What do I believe?  The most important question is: “What do I want to believe?”  If you aren’t deciding what you want to believe someone else is.  I suspect, TV, the AMA, APA is dictating what you believe.  After taking inventory develop a plan to systematically change your beliefs.  I facilitate a one-on-one highly focused and structured process called, ‘Creating Your Future.’  Decide to create your future.

A mind-set shift is also listening to the language you use—the tape you run in your head.  Your life is created by your thoughts; everything you think and say drives you toward that reality.  For example, if you say, I can’t, ____.   That is what you will create.   If you say, I am working on learning to___. Or I can.   That is what you will create.

Next month I will discuss specific emotional mind-sets/beliefs which create physical illness and the belief change necessary to create healing and health.
