Your Mental Thought Patterns
Are Directed By Emotions |
Your mental "Thought-Patterns"
actually form your experiences in life and our body shapes and
its states of health and disease. You must remember that both
the good in your lives and the sicknesses are the results of
our mental thought-actions and the behavioral patterns we develop
from their direction or command. These in turn, form our life’s
experiences. We all have many thought patterns that produce
good, positive, and happy experiences of which we enjoy. But
by the same token we also have or feel negative thought patterns
that produce uncomfortable, unrewarding, and harmful experiences.
It is these harmful thought-actions that we are concerned with
and direct your attention to. It is our desire to make constructive
suggestions, recommendations, and provide good ideas that will
help you change or reverse your disease producing thought-actions,
from misdirected negative emotions and feelings, and allow you
to restore perfect health to your body.
We are all learners in this life. At the beginning we are known
as "Students". As we advance we become
"Disciples" of life. And as we age
we gather, accumulate, and experience many of life’s lessons
and become "Masters". As masters
we are compelled to share our knowledge with others uplifting
mankind forever. This uplifting process is a very important
gift to fellow followers and our spiritual development.
As masters we have learned that all of life operates on a directed
"Mental Cause & Effect" principle.
That is to say that for every effect in our lives, there is
a thought-action pattern that preceded and manifested that end-results.
So we learn that our consistent thinking patterns create our
experiences and our physical health-sickness patterns. Therefore,
by changing our thinking patterns, we can change our experiences
and reinstate our health status. Next, let’s talk about
replacing old thought patterns and habits that effect you life
with quality ones.
Replacing Old Thought Patterns And Habits
In order to permanently eliminate any unwanted physical condition,
we must first learn the error in our thinking that caused the
problem and then replace it with the truth. But since most of
us are uneducated in these matters, we just do not know where
to start. These ideas and methods will not help the healthy
individual, the irresponsible, or the procrastinator. So, if
you are thinking, "If only I knew how to fix this problem
- I would", I hope that this guideline provides you with
answers to "What caused your problem" and "How
to fix it". The application of these ideas, like a compass
needle, will guide you to new thought-action patterns and behaviors
that will produce health in your spirit, mind, and body.
Remember all of life is an "Awaking & Learning Process"
and is unique for each of us. And all of life’s experiences
and physical ailments in our lives are both needed and necessary
for us to learn, grow, develop, and evolve. Otherwise, "How
do we advance?" The physical symptoms are only the side
effects of the end-results of your manifested thoughts. So,
you must go within yourself to discover and correct all unwanted
mental errors in thinking and replace them with the truth. I
remember a saying taught to me by one of my teachers. It states
"He who rules his body posses greater authority than he
who rules a country." So remember "The trip behind
you and the trip ahead of you are nothing when compared to the
trip within you." Next, let’s take a look at the
big four feelings or emotions that are the seeds for sickness
and disease.
Every negative emotion and feeling can manifest in your body
as a sickness or disease but observations find that there are
only four that get used repetitively. I have always found that
"Being for warned is being for armed"
so as soon as you recognize any negative feeling within you
correct or change into a positivity direction.
Negative emotions can and do manifest within your body in a
short time (acute) or can require a longer time (chronic) time
period to do so. The "Big Four" emotional
feelings more correctly known as "Mental Thought Patterns",
which manifested into your body and are responsible for most
of the disease processes an individual will experience are:
1. Anger
2. Criticism
3. Guilt
4. Resentment
Let’s take a closer look at the Big Four.
1. Anger can occur quickly or gradually a longer time period
and
is seen in conditions that inflame,
boil, burn and infect the
body.
2. Criticisms create conditions that erode and slowly eat away
at
your body and produce long-term degenerative
processes
leading to those types of ailments and diseases.
3. Guilt is another moderate to long-term on-setting manifesting
sickness and always seeks punishment, which
always leads to
pain.
4. Resentment is another long-term held-in manifestation that
festers and eats away at your body and ultimately
leads to
ulcerations, tumors and cancer.
Besides effecting many other parts of your body the above four
also routinely attack your digestive tract, heart, and liver.
This may not sound like much of a problem but it adds up very
fast to become overwhelming. Prevention is always the best cure
– not the rehabilitation process. Do you remember ever
hearing the saying "A stitch in time saves nine" or
"Hindsight is always 20-20 and a painful teacher"?
So remember it is always better to avoid or reverse all negative
thinking or thought-action behaviors before they get planted
and start growing. It is always harder to try to dig them out
after they are so deeply seeded in your body while your are
in a state of panic and threaten by radical remedies such as
surgery.
Worth mentioning here is the fact that there are two more very
common emotions that you may unknowingly allow to erode and
eat away at your body. They are:
1. Acceptance
2. Recognition
Many people concern themselves with trying to fit in rather
than just being themselves. Individuals who are looking for
acceptance and recognition from others fall into this category
of wanting others to like, accept, and recognize them. But it
is the clear thinking individual, who by being him or her self
accomplishes more than anyone ever thought possible. These are
the individuals who we read about. These individuals become
legends to those around them and in time are printed into our
history. So remember, unless you measure-up within yourself,
you have nothing to give or offer that has any true value. I
always share with those who display these attributes by saying,
"If you are not enough without their approval, acceptance,
or recognition, you will never be enough with it. Learn to listen
for that silent voice within you and when you finally hear it
speak to you it will whisper in your ear a reminder that you
should always remember to feel and do all things with love and
kindness in your heart."
So remember, "As you think - you become". All habits,
good or bad, are the results of what you willed to happen. Keep
them positive. And the environments you place yourself into
(work, home, recreation) are the influences of what you will
become. Hence the first step in going forward to a new beginning
is letting go of the past. Letting go of the past can be harder
than you think. But it is absolutely necessary when you finally
decide to "Go Forward".
Emotions and feelings, whether positive or negative, effect
all parts of your life including deciding what to eat, when
to eat, or how much to eat. Eating from positive feeling creates
health. Eating while feeling negative creates sickness.
Next, let’s discuss a simple and extremely effective answer
and solution to the problem of sickness and disease.
Dr. P. P. Quimby
I remember reading about Dr. P. P. Quimby’s methods of
healing the sick that were written by many of his patients.
He talked about the cause of all illness and disease as an error
in the individual’s thinking and the applications of their
thought-action processes. He explained that they processed errors
in their thinking, which were the causations of their conditions.
He then replaced them with the principles of truth, which immediately
started the reinstatement process of their health. He describes
the power of the words, thoughts, and actions that create your
actual experiences and your wellness. Armed with this awareness
of incorrect mental application he allowed his patients to actually
experience the greatness of the mind over the body by its application
of the truth.
Dr. Quimby brings to us the understanding and application of
the connection between the errors in manifesting our misdirected
thought processes and how they effect the different parts of
our body and create its many physical problems.
He teaches us how we "Unknowingly"
create the sickness and diseases within ourselves. And he also
teaches us to stop blaming others for the problems found within
us and to take the responsibility ourselves for reversing these
unwanted diseases process. The neat thing about his teachings
is that he shows us how to reverse all sickness found within
our bodies and how to replace them with the truth of health.
And when you begin to see how to avoid negativity thought patterns,
which when manifested create your sickness and disease, you
will begin to feel more secure in your abilities to make constructive
and beneficial changes in your health. By avoiding today the
creation of negative thought patterns that produce illness,
sickness, and disease, you create a future of tomorrows filled
with health and happiness.
A good starter book to learn more about Dr. Quimby and his amazing
solutions to health is "The Philosophy Of P. P. Quimby",
by Annetta Gertrude Dresser. It can be found in the "Library"
in the "Health Care" section listed as "Health
And Disease" in the web site www.racingsmarter.com
Dr. Quimby practiced in the state of Maine from 1850 to 1864.
He only saw the very sick individuals who had been given up
on by all of the other healing arts. And to my knowledge is
the only one who had the amazing record of helping 100% of his
patients. I know of no other doctor with that record.
Retraining Mental Habits
For your general information about how your mind works and what
areas control or dominate your directed thought-actions and
their manifestation allow me to share these facts with you.
Whenever you compete your abilities of "Discipline"
against your "Willpower", willpower wins. Whenever
you compete your "Willpower" (determination) against
your "Imagination", imagination wins. Whenever you
compete your "Imagination" against your "Belief
System", your belief system wins. But your "Feeling"
and "Emotions" can override all three of the above.
And when these feelings or emotions are negatively directed
they only manifest sicknesses within you. If these feelings
or emotions are planted into your mind with a great deal of
anger, criticism, guilt, or resentment they will manifest very
quickly. However, on the other hand small repetitive implanted
negative thinking manifest, accumulate, and buildup in specific
target areas of your body over a much longer time period. And,
at some point, they begin to produce the outward signs and symptoms
of a disease process. Let’s see how this works.
Willpower and Discipline only work on and effect the surface
of the problem. They have never worked on the deeper implanted
and manifested negative thoughts. Because of this fact they
could never get to the roots of any problem. And remember that
the only way to rid yourself of any unwanted problem is by attacking
and getting rid of its root system. Remember like a plant, no
disease condition can live if its roots are cut away. So, in
other words when the needs you feel are gone, the outward physical
effects and their signs and symptoms will die as well.
Only you can move or not move your fingers. No one else can
move your finger unless you give them the authority. This simple
example demonstrates the fact that only you think in your body
and all things that come into or leave your body must do so
through your say so. In other words, all sicknesses and disease
processes were created by you and can only be removed by you.
All negative feelings or emotions that you feel and experience
will manifest themselves within your body unless you take thought-actions
to stop them or reverse them. There are several ways to retrain,
reprogram, or upgrade your unconscious mind and belief system.
For the retraining of the mind we offer daily affirmations,
meditation, manifestation training, hypnosis and self-hypnosis,
methods of forgiveness, learning positive mental attitudes,
and releasing negative directed mental attitudes. "Positive
Thought-Actions" are a major key to the restoration and
maintaining good health. The elimination of "Negatively
Directed Thought-Actions" from all sources within your
mind is another major key to the restoration and maintaining
of good health.
Affirmations
Affirmations improve your self-confidence and self-love. They
relate to your own personal goals and desires. Say your affirmations
daily in order to permanently establish them in your mind and
into your new patterns of thinking and acting. You can place
them onto a 3 x 5 card and place the cards around the house
and in your car to be read several times a day. You may chose
to place them onto a cassette tape recorded in your own voice
so that you can listen to them several times a day.
Meditation
Meditation is a vital part of the mind’s retraining process.
It can eliminate the negative thought-action process and instates
the positive thought-action one. It is a simple mental process
to learn and abide. It involves learning and utilizing the different
types of breathing methods while focusing your thoughts. It
is a supportive part of the Mental Retraining process. And it
is one of the major keys to reinstate and maintain good health.
Hypnosis
The conscious mind has complete autonomy over and is the only
authority within your body. Nothing goes into or comes out of
your body unless your mind "Makes it so". All ailments,
sicknesses, and diseases are created by your mind’s manifestation
of negatively directed thought-actions. Expanding the awareness
of the conscious mind is very important in directing or manifesting
good health. Therefore all hypnotic inductions or NLP sections
include the positive affirmations from the book "Heal Your
Body" by Louise L. Hay. Hypnosis is one of the major keys
to reinstate and maintain good health.
Laughing
Laughing is a major way back to health. The very process of
laughing automatically creates the healing chemistries within
the body and begins and maintains good health. Laughing is a
part of the mental retraining program.
Heal Your Body
Now that you are beginning to understand that you can make very
effective, constructive, and beneficial changes in all disease
processes in your body it is time to start reading "Heal
Your Body", by Louise L. Hay (ISBN 0-937611-00-X.
Following her recommendations of listing all sicknesses and
illnesses you have ever had and to begin the process of daily
affirmation, which starts the reversing actions of their manifested
disease processes.
Here is a good "Step-By-Step" plan to use Louise Hay’s
book "Heal Your Body" when you have any physical ailment
or problem;
1. Look up the mental cause. See if this could be true for you.
If
not, sit quietly and ask yourself,
"What could be the thoughts in
me that created this?"
2. Repeat to yourself (aloud if you can), "I am willing
to release
the pattern in my consciousness
that has created this
condition:’
3. Repeat the new thought pattern to yourself several times.
4. Assume that you are already in the process of healing.
And whenever you think of the condition in your mind, repeat
the above four steps.
As a reminder remember that whatever is going on with your body
is what’s going on in our mind. All physical signs and
symptomology progress from least to worst. They first start
as being "Tired and Weak". If you do not rest and
allow a resting time period they will progress to "Still
& Tight". If you still do not allow a rest and recovery
time period they advance to "Sore & Ache". If
you still do not take a corrective action they progress to "Tenderness"
and finally "Pain". So if your body is tired and weak,
so is your mind. If your body is stiff and tight so is your
thinking. If you are feeling Stiff & Tight" your are
still accumulating small or large amounts of one or more of
the "Big Four" (anger, criticism, guilt and resentment).
It takes a little time for your mind to reverse the created
condition existing in your body, so allow for it. William Shakespeare
once said; "The choices you make dictate the life you lead.
To your ownself be true." In other words "What you
do today creates your tomorrows. Be wise and choose well everyday.
And remember to stop any and all negativity before it gets a
chance to get started in your mind."
In closing I would like to remind you that meditation also is
very helpful and supportive with the readings of your daily
affirmations. Like affirmations, meditation also creates a healthy
consciousness and, therefore, a healthy body. And finally "Remember
to do all things with Love and Kindness in your heart."
When you Change your thinking
You change your life.
So, the choices you make will dictate the life you live.
To your heart - be true. |
