| Self-Repair Mechanisms of the Body |
You do not have to be at the mercy of their responses to stress. As I show in my new book Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof that you can heal , you can be proactive about activating self-healing your body naturally . Try these proven scientifically as a strategy for health prevention or treatment for any health condition that might be struggling steps.
1: Think you can heal
Do not believe the positive belief can heal the body ? Think again ! The medical establishment has been to show that the mind can heal the body for over 50 years. We call it " the placebo effect " and has been shown to cause resolution of symptoms and actual physiological change - in 18-80 % of patients in clinical trials treated with nothing more than sugar pills , injections saline, or false surgeries.
As long as you think your condition is " incurable " or "chronic" , it will be. Do not think your health condition could possibly solve? Check out the Project of spontaneous remission , a collection of over 3,500 studies showing that spontaneous remission has been reported for most diseases is in stage 4 cancer, HIV , diabetes , high blood pressure, disease thyroid , autoimmune diseases, including an untreated bullet wound to the head!
For my skeptical mind doctor , reading through all these case studies was a paradigm shift . It's a bit like the story of the 4 -minute mile . Exercise physiologists used to think that the body was physiologically unable to run a mile in under 4 minutes - and therefore never did any athlete . Then in 1954 , Roger Bannister ran a mile in three minutes fifty-nine seconds . Once the limiting beliefs shattered virtually every athlete competing in a world class event has run the mile in under four minutes. World record today mile time is 3:43:15 , more than 15 seconds to 4 minutes.
What if his belief that the body can not heal itself is like 4 - minute mile ? For some amazing stories about how positive beliefs can radically affect your health, see my TEDx talk Is there scientific evidence that you can be cured ? .
Scientific data shows that once you believe that healing is possible , maybe. So what do you think ?
2 : Locate the appropriate support
To say that it can heal itself is kind of a misnomer because the scientific data show that , equally essential to the positive belief is the careful nurturing of a true healer , someone optimistic that shares his positive belief , which includes a real association respects your intuition , cares about your well being, and ensures that you will not be alone in your journey of self -healing.
Do you have the right team of healers in health care?
3: Listen to your body and your intuition
No one knows your business better than you, not even a medical body. We doctors can know the arteries of the leg or the anatomy of the organs better than you , but you know what's good for your body better than anyone . When my agent first read Mind Over Medicine, said , " Lissa, before reading this book, I honestly thought my body was my concern. Now I know better."
Yes ! Your body is actually your business. So listen to your intuition and trust what he says .
Not in touch with your intuition ? Then listen to your body , which is a vehicle of your intuition used to talk to you. If you have a physical sensation in your body - pain, tightness , nausea, teeth clenching , dizziness - ask your body what it is trying to communicate with you. Then listen up! This is the voice of your inner wisdom and always lead you directly to your true north.
4: diagnose the root causes of their illness
Your doctor can give you a kind of diagnosis - migraine or irritable bowel syndrome or breast cancer , for example. But the guy I'm talking diagnostic gets at the root of what might have triggered stress responses in your body and off the body's self-healing mechanisms , bringing his body vulnerable to disease .
What aspects of your life are activating their stress responses ? Activities What induces relaxation response - like meditation , creative expression , laughter , participation in the work that you love , massage , yoga, or play with the animals - who have been negligent ?
The disease is often a wake-up call , forcing us to get down and dirty with what is actually true in our lives. We can either play the victim or we can use the illness as an opportunity for awakening.
If you are struggling with a physical problem , which could be at the root of it? For more ideas on what might be at the root of his illness, visit my TEDx talk The shocking truth about your health .
5: Write a prescription for yourself
This will not be the type of prescription filled at a pharmacy, although you can certainly include elements of western medicine . It's more of a self-guided plan of action for making your body for optimal health mature and complete recovery.
So ask yourself: " What does my body to heal ? " Your prescription may include changes in diet, exercise regimen and plan of conventional medical treatment. But it can also include leaving a toxic relationship , quitting a job sucking the soul , adding a meditation practice , take steps to get out of debt , or following a passion.
Be as specific as possible. After gathering the courage to put your plan into action!
6: Surrender attachments to results
What if you have taken a positive attitude, which is the right healer , tapped into your intuition and your body, diagnosed the cause of his health , writing the prescription for you and put it into action , but you're still sick ? Are you doing something wrong? Is it your fault that you're still sick ?
Of course not - and any talk of blame , guilt or shame for someone in a healing journey on a more active stress responses and damages the body .
So what 's the deal ? This is where the art of surrender comes Some patients do everything "right " and spontaneous remission occurs . But others are the proverbial choir and who are still sick. Why is this? I honestly do not know. The only real answer is spiritual. Perhaps our souls are here on this earth to learn lessons, and the disease can be a spiritual practice , a way to learn our lessons of life and a part of the destiny of our soul.
What I can say is that if you have followed the 6 steps , have done everything in their power to make your body ripe for miracles - and the rest is out of your hands. So take a deep breath , trust the Universe , give attachment to any particular health outcome , and let any health condition will be faced with an opportunity for spiritual awakening.
Usually cured?
Are you motivated to put each of these steps into action? Will you take steps to reduce stress responses in your body and increase relaxation responses so your body can repair itself ?
