Our
bodies were made in such a way that everything is
integrated. The
mind appears to control everything. When something
happens to the
body whether good or bad, it registers in the
brain and the brain then
dictates the bodies response.
Scientists have found that it also works
that way within the body.
Biofeedback has shown that the
mind can direct the immune system to fight
various infections in the body including dreaded
strains of cancer. For the average
person this is a wonderful idea, but biofeedback
costs money and besides not everyone has a
life threatening problem.
Now
imagine being able to do this for yourself in the comfort of your own
home,
office or anywhere else you can go to be alone for a few minutes! There is
another kind of science that is telling us that the body listens when we
talk. Think about that for a minute. When we talk we are saying what the
mind is thinking; we are just saying it out loud. So,
it follows we can do our
own biofeedback anywhere we want.
A very
simple illustration will prove this to you. Hold your arms out in front of
you extending your two index fingers. Shut your eyes
and repeat our loud, "fingers come together". Think it and say it and within
two minutes your fingers do come together. When I first tried this it was
very exciting to me
that it worked because for me it opened many possibilities in my
mind! Since then I have become a talker to myself! A
self whisperer if you will. I
talk to my body and to my subconscious
mind even and I have gotten
amazing results. This is one thing that I think will work for everyone
because this is one of the functions of the body,
mind and soul that
was part of the design, just as blood running through
everyone's body
is the same. But, you must have an open mind! Your
mind accepts
that blood runs through the body
in a specific manner and so it must
accept that the body, and soul
will listen when it is spoken to, no
matter who is speaking, yourself or someone else.
In the morning when you first wake up, lie still, calm your
breathing,
still your mind, and have a talk with yourself. Tell
yourself what kind of
day you are going to have. Keep everything positive! Tell yourself that
you are happy and that you are going to be happy all day and that you
are going to smile all day. Tell yourself what you are going to
accomplish during the day. Tell yourself you will be relaxed and feel
good about yourself. Tell yourself that you are a good person and that
you have a lot to offer others. You will be surprised at how well your
day will go. Always be honest with yourself! If you are a person that
has low self esteem, spend some time telling yourself
what areas you
excel in, list your good qualities. When you are caught in traffic on the
way home from work you can tell yourself what a good day it has been,
list your accomplishments, tell yourself you are going to have a nice
relaxed evening. Tell yourself you will be kind to your mate and your
children.
Talking to yourself in this manner can change your life! I challenge you
to try it!
