Positive Thinking

Fruits and vegetables are a source of energy.

Do mind-body techniques such as yoga, meditation or repetitive prayer affect the way your body deals with stress?

Numerous studies, including one by Boston’s MGH MBI and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center shows that after an 8 week period of meditation, the people who were participating in the research were positively affected even at the level of their genes, demonstrating that thoughts can and do affect the body at a cellular level.

Meditation was able to actively suppress the activation or repression of genes which can result in cellular damage and consequently disease.

While food and drink contain energy that can work with or against your body, optimum health does not only come from what you consume or apply topically, as you can see from the above study. It also arises from the internal, in what you think and do, and who you surround yourself with.

What habits do you keep repeating?
What feelings and fears keep intruding?

Your mind makes mental movies of both actual and imagined situations as though the brain is witnessing it for real: laughter, arguments, sad life events.
These images affect the whole self, thereby creating a reality that you choose, whether you are conscious of it or not.

However, a diet of positive thoughts detoxifies the mind and improves your quality of life.
In other words, you are what you think.

Make a movie within your mind. See yourself surrounded by the things that make you happy. See yourself helping other people as you shine your positive light on them.

With each inhalation I breathe in ….. (what you need)
With each exhalation I release …..(what you don’t need)
I am filling each cell with light and creating a new body
I envisage only that which is for my highest good
I shine my light on the world

Every day I make a loving environment for everyone around me, including myself.
