More on the Effect of Belief on the Body

The body is a verb not a noun...
Deepak Chopra

We seldom think of the body as an action.  We see it, as we do many of the stuff around us, as things.  Yet the body is an energetic, ever moving, ever changing, vibrating, creating action.  It is an action. It is a doing not a being.  We, the observer,  inside the body are the being.  The body is never still, never quiet, never not doing...but the observer is always still, always quiet, never doing...just being.  The mind is the information system that controls the body and that is the body.  Every cell in your body is a part of that mind.  Every cell...every molecule  thinks, interprets, remembers and responds. Every molecule acts because every molecule has the moving energy of atoms within it.  Every molecule is an action...every cell is an action...every organ is an action and every body is an action...in the vast universe which is also an action. "Say what, crazy lady?"  Things are just the manifesting of this moving energy...what we experience as the world is the way our minds perceive and create  us and the world around us.  We use our minds to capture and still this vast moving energy into some "thing"  just so that we can make sense of it with our five senses and with even more "thought".

The world  as we created it is a process of our thinking.  It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Albert Einstein

So we are back to this familiar notion: the answer to all of the world's problems is a change in thought.   Our worlds are merely reflected thought form.  We (as we come to know ourselves ) are what we think  we  are and the world we live in is what we think it is.  Our bodies are healthy if we think with conviction they are healthy, ill if we think with conviction they are ill.  So why do we think illness thoughts if they are making us sick?  Why are we so convinced? Because we are culturally, socially trained to be so.  It is ingrained in our collective subconscious. Illness is a product of this culture and we prescribe to it.  We prescribe to the idea that our bodies are vulnerable to genetic and external forces in the form of disease.  We also prescribe to the idea that it is only something or someone outside ourselves that may have the power to make us better when we are ill. We then get sick because we are convinced we will and we depend on chemicals, treatments and others outside ourselves to make us better.  All this is just a twisted manifestation of our convictions and beliefs that society and culture has collectively enforced upon us.  What would happen if we believed we could never get sick...I mean truly believed that...would we get sick?  What would happen if we had ourselves convinced that we were already sick and then we changed that thinking around and became absolutely convinced that we could get better?  The many, many studies done on the Nocebo and Placebo effect prove how much our convictions effect our health and our recoveries.   It is belief that creates illness.  It is belief that creates wellness.  It is belief that creates everything we experience in this life: the good, the bad and the ugly. It is belief we must change if we want to experience life differently, healthfully and happily.

Our bodies are our gardens, to which our wills our gardeners.
William Shakespeare (Othello, Act One; scene 3)

All is well in my world.
