Health How's Yours?

Health - How's Yours?
By Dr Kem Thompson

One thing that continues to amaze me is the power each of us hasto control our lives. The power of the human mind is beyond ourown capacity to understand, and modern science continues to discover more qualities that we each possess within us,that have the potential to make us into literally anything we choose.

Today you'll discover how to use that very power to dictate yourstate of health (or lack thereof).

Basically, (and this is me putting it in simplistic terms), youare as healthy as you believe you are. The simple things are often the most powerful.

Your current state of health is the direct result of the conditioning you have given yourself regarding your health overthe years.

Neuroscientists have now proven what faith healers have knownover the centuries: it's not your genes that determine yourstate of health - it's the way you perceive things about yourself and your life. If you're a pregnant woman, yourperceptions and beliefs affect your unborn child physically.If you're interested in learning more, you can visit Dr BruceLipton's site here http://www.brucelipton.com/biology.php - really fascinating stuff.

So what does this all mean to you?

Well think about it: if the way you are today is based on your'programming', it makes sense that the only way to change orimprove your health is by 'reprogramming' your mind.

Now don't expect any overnight changes - afterall, your beingoverweight or unhealthy or sickly is the result of years of negative health programming.

Rather, commit to a lifelong program of positive conditioning orself-talk in order to change things from their root source.

Why do you think many 'diet' programs don't work in the long term?

It's because when people 'go on a diet', they're focusing on the outward effect, without paying attention to the root cause ofthe effect in the first place.

If you desire long-term changes for the better, where your health isconcerned, you must combine inner work (the re-programming mentionedearlier) with outer work (sensible eating and regular physicalactivity). Any other plan is doomed to fail.

Your body is like a computer, with your subconscious mind and brainas the central processing unit. You are the one to input the information into the computer (you are the programmer of your life) - you give your computer instructions to follow.

The output that comes from your computer (the outward results of yourlife) depends on the instructions you gave it. Whether or not you believe it.

Here's how this relates to you: even if your current outward healthlooks bad, by consistently telling yourself that it is good, youeventually begin to believe it, and with that belief combined withpersistent programming, your outward health inevitably changes toreflect your inner reality.

Always remember that you are a spiritual being. Your body is simplya container for the real you. You are not your body. So when youare saying 'I am perfectly healthy', know that you're referring toyour true self, thus you are speaking the truth when you say that, forspirit is indeed perfectly healthy.

The neat thing about this is that when you say that, your physicalbody picks up the vibrations sent out by that line of thinking and starts to respond by changing to reflect 'perfect health'.

It may take time, depending on how focused, consistent and committedyou are to the programming process.

You may feel funny or even silly when you start talking to yourselfthis way, but you'll get used to it and when the results start toshow, you'll know that you've hit on something real and powerful.Which would you prefer - to feel funny for a while while you get usedto your new way of thinking, and eventually reap great health, or toremain 'cool' and aloof about it, do nothing and remain vulnerableto every sickness and disease out there. Your choice. Your chosenconsequences.

By focusing on the outcome you're working towards, you will eliminateany feelings of discomfort that may threaten to sabotage your efforts.

In summary, if you wish to be healthy or achieve a certain weight goal,begin today to program your mind to see yourself as already havingachieved that goal. Write out an affirmation in the present tense thatdescribes how you desire to be, then say it to yourself several timesa day, at least three times a day (when you are about to sleep off,soon as you wake up and after lunch.).

Commit to this or a similar program of self-conditioning; don't be putoff by its simplicity. That would be a mistake.

Do it and reap the benefits for yourself. And think about it. Sinceyou have the power to choose your thoughts, doesn't it make sense to choose to think of yourself as healthy rather than unhealthy? Since youhave the power to paint a picture of yourself, doesn't it make senseto paint a picture of your ideal self and dwell on that instead?Especially since your dominating thought or mind picture eventuallymanifests physically?

You're the programmer. Program health into your life today.
