Our Mind – a precious ‘Gift’ of healing
How strange it is for many to accept that our mind can be such a precious gift that it is ignored in the process of healing the body of so many ailments.
Believe me, if I had accepted the words of an Oncologist, who told me to go away and get my affairs in order – I would not be here today.
It is important we nourish our body with not only the right food, and personal care products; we must also nourish our body by thinking positively and having FAITH in our own ability to heal.
I hear the word – ‘this gives me hope’, and ‘I need hope’ – so many times it is said in order to let go of fear. I have to tell you. Hope is external – FAITH is BELEIF.
Each day can be a wonderful experience when we choose to use our mind more effectively. We all have the ability to change what we do and the way we react to all situations that effect our life. We are the masters of our own destiny. After all – do you know you are the only person that made you unwell? We can blame our parents, our doctors, brothers, and sisters – the neighbours. How often do we really look inside ourselves and say “How did I get here?” The road we travel is often laden with bumps and curves. It is our reactions to these bumps and curves that bring us to ill health.
Be grateful for all the gifts bestowed upon you, even the gift of ill health. It is your teacher, an awakening and a reminder to walk a different path. Doctor Carlos Orozco recently sent me a testimonial in support of my being nominated for the International Women’s Day Leadership Awards – in it he wrote ‘Cancer is not a death sentence. It is perhaps one of the greatest opportunities for people to change the way they have been living’.
How true these words are. Cancer was supposed to be a death sentence for me. It changed my life for the best. I have been privileged to meet so many amazing people over the past eighteen months – and being given the gift of FAITH in myself also gives me the ability to share this gift with so many.
Surround yourself with positive loving people who ‘Get it’ if you are unwell – at the same time go within and have the quiet moments to reflect, do affirmations (most important) meditate – also most important.
The Desiderata says ‘Avoid Loud and Aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit • you are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have the right to be here’.
And so you have – all it takes is FAITH – trust, a knowing/wisdom that the body can help itself .
