Many people suffer from illness and disease, and life long stress, worry and complaint causes sickness. Disease is dis-ease in the mind which affects the body. Disharmony, fear and negative belief attacks every cell of our body. But no matter how unhealthy the body becomes, almost all of us have a healthy mind, even with the likes of motor neurone disease where we can’t move, eat or speak, god leaves us the ability to ‘think’ which is always the chance to use the mind to heal ourselves. Did you know an experiment was done where one group of men went to a gym and lifted weights, while another group of men stayed home, closed their eyes and just visualised lifting weights. And the muscles built up in the body of those who just imagined lifting the weights, they got the same results as those who went to the gym lifting weights and actually did the hard work.

An Olympian visualises running the race, winning and wearing the gold medal, then they win! And they may be up against a better runner but the universe is full of surprises, If one has the slightest doubt and another believes without doubt then they will win. The tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race as the hare slept as the tortoise won. No matter how formidable your opponent it is our mind that dictates the winner.

An opponent can trip and fall giving an advantage as the universe ensures you get your wish. It is no different for the sick, you could do exactly the same, as the mind, thought and belief is in control of the body, and our external world. The only reason we fail at healing is because we believe more in the pain, illness, disability or disease we are suffering from.

So if the mind can build the same muscles as the weight lifter, without going to the gym, then the mind can do exactly the same for those with a debilitating illness. Building our muscle through thought alone, moving, walking, healing, etc. Eradicating disability, as so many are told after a life changing accident they will never walk again, yet they walk out of hospital because the mind would not accept that diagnostic. If we believe what we are told we seal our own fate. About the visualising gym bunnies, someone with motor neurone may say, ‘well they were healthy, I’m not.’

But the truth is, if they can grow muscle just through thinking about lifting weights and their body being more muscular, then the disabled have not lost the use of their mind or ability to think! We have the same thoughts available to us all, which can make changes in the body just as it did for these men. Disease or not, chair or not, our mind is in control of everything in our life and we can all have healthy thoughts that heal and improve the body as one man’s spine was crushed so told he would never walk again so he lay in a hospital bed for months and every day he closed his eyes and imagined his spine knitting back together and healing.

He told the doctors he would walkout of hospital unaided then one day he did just that, not even using a walking stick. And he is world renowned now, helping others heal using the power of the mind, and has worked miracles for so many people. We can heal the heart, heal cancer and neurological diseases, we just have to believe we can, visualise and think the right thoughts. Many finish cancer treatment are told they are in remission. They are happy and celebrate but think, I hope I have beaten it and it doesn’t come back, then for many it comes back with a vengeance.

They need to believe it’s over, was a lesson they grew from and only visualise a future cancer free, a new career, family holidays, Christmases, birthdays, milestones, their small children’s future graduation, weddings and grand children. No doubts, no fear, no looking back, only forward, onward and upward thinking always, as slow and steady wins the race!
