The Mind-Body Connection – Health is a State of Mind! (continued)

Time Line Therapy® has the potential of releasing the trapped emotion in memories in a very short period of time. In fact, we usually release most of a person’s negative emotions in the Secret of Creating Your Future® Seminars which we give all over the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. My experience with the now thousands of people of all walks of life is that it is possible to release all of a person’s negative emotions from past memories in as little as five hours. That release of negative emotions has a profound effect on the person.

Getting Rid of the Negative Emotions: Now, other than disease, why get rid of negative emotions which are trapped in one’s body? Well, for example, imagine a salesperson, (s)he has a dream, (s)he’s well trained, knows how to sell, and (s)he wants to make more money. But every time (s)he goes to close the sale, fear comes up. That salesperson is not going to do his or her best. Certainly the closing ratio will not be as high as it could be without the fear.

Many mental and physical diseases are preceded by a significant emotional experience (SEE) of a negative nature which may appear in the person’s recent past, or even further in the past, such as during childhood. If negative, and depending on the intensity, the SEE has the potential to create or be the source of some emotional, mental or even physical disease occurring in the body.

Twenty years ago a group of scientists discovered in the brain, a set of chemicals known as neuropeptides. Neuro because they are found in the brain, and peptides because they are protein like molecules. So every time you have a thought or a feeling, a desire, an instinct, or a drive, each of these affects our nervous system by means of specific messenger molecules called neuropeptides.

In the past 5 years, there is exciting news in the field of disease. Old concepts on the nature of consciousness, and on the nature of the body are changing. We have been using many of these concepts in Time Line Therapy® ™ for some time now, and many of these concepts are new. Let me warn you in advance, that this article may change your viewpoint about your mind and your body. It has a potential to be controversial. This change in the structure of our belief systems is necessary to affect a change in the way we assist people in healing themselves and others. 

From Powerless to Powerful

How often do you feel powerless—in the course of just one day? Whether you are stuck in traffic, wait in line for a coffee or get pushed by your boss to meet another unreasonable deadline—it seems obvious that life is out of your control. Yet, is that really true?
 
We may have no control over other people or some of the circumstances we are in. However, what we can control is how much of our power we give away. The question is, are you aware of how and where you are draining your personal power? It may be when you are trying to meet others’ expectations or taking their opinions of you personally. It may be when you are making yourself smaller to fit in or neglect your own needs, because you are afraid of hurting somebody else.

How can I start using the mind-body-spirit connection to heal myself? (Conclusion)

Here are a few suggestions that will help you to establish more motional balance that can in turn support your healing.

1. Take the messages from the medical field and others with a grain of salt—especially if they are limiting and disempowering. Avoid obsessive “Googling” on the Internet, which can often lead to more fear and discouragement.  
2. Choose a medical support system and personal environment that are in alignment with  your beliefs about your healing.
3. Focus on what you want, which is health and well-being! Rather than identifying yourself with a diagnosis, see yourself as a person who has the potential and the ability to heal and  create well-being.
4. Find ways to regularly relax and bring your body into a parasympathetic state, which is the healing state. Meditating, listening to calming music, being in nature, and taking a bath are just some examples that can help you to achieve this state.
5. Learn more about the mind-body-spirit connection and how to use it to activate your self-healing abilities. Remember that you are ultimately in charge of your body and your health. Whatever your body has created can be uncreated. Use visualizations and self-hypnosis as ways to utilize and activate your mind-body-spirit connection. Books by Deepak Chopra and Dr. Bernie Siegel can be excellent starting points.
6. Identify and resolve the emotional root causes, inner conflicts, and significant emotional events that are connected to the illness. The work of Dr. Hammer, Dr. John Sarno, and Louise Hay can also provide you with more information on the deeper meanings and messages of illness.

As a physician, I often felt that patients gave up faith in their self-healing abilities, completely  surrendering and trusting in the abilities and wisdom of the doctors.  Many young physicians are not prepared for this and don’t know how to deal with the power that is handed to them by their patients. The movie, The Doctor, should be a requirement for medical students.

William Hurt plays a doctor who realizes how little he knows about healthcare when he himself is diagnosed with throat cancer.  As a doctor he was mighty and all knowing, but as a patient he has to endure being treated as a helpless kid, without regard for his feelings and his dignity.

Unfortunately this is not only a Hollywood story; I am sure that many of you have had or are having similar experiences. Doctors and health care providers aren’t the only culprits. Family and friends can also be the source of “gloom and doom” messages. A colleague
 of mine told me the story of a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer. During their first session, she was feeling more and more encouraged and determined to focus on her  healing and get well again. As soon as she came home and told her family that she would heal, they warned her not get her hopes up, that she’d heard the diagnosis and should know that  there was not much that could be done. A few weeks later she died.

These and other studies show that inner balance is one of the most important keys to  healing. This means that you want to make sure that what you see, hear, smell, taste,  feel, and think are supporting your healing. Start with choosing a team of doctors and  health care practitioners that are in alignment with your intention to completely heal.

It is still a mystery to me why most hospitals look so sterile and impersonal. Even Motel 6 is able to create a more inviting and friendly atmosphere. Although you may not be able to be too picky about the looks of the facility, you need to choose your healing team wisely.

Many times I have been told stories of doctors, who were bombarding their patients with discouraging and strongly limiting messages. “You will always have to live with  the pain,” “there is nothing anyone can do,” etc. Being a physician myself, I know that  there is a positive intention behind these rather negative and disempowering messages— whether it is the idea to “be realistic” or “not encourage false hope,” or simply to prepare  the patient for the “inevitable”. However, doctors rarely consider the destructive and  deflating effects on the patient’s psyche that outweigh any possible positive outcome.

 In our society, a physician is such an authority figure, that whatever he or she says has  enormous impact on the patient.

The health damaging effects of stress have been well documented. Heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, gastro-intestinal problems, and auto-immune disease are only some of the diseases that are closely linked to increased stress. Our immune system is especially susceptible to negative emotions. Deepak Chopra says in his book, Quantum Healing, “Our immune system is continuously eaves-dropping on our thoughts and feelings.

 Studies have corroborated this notion: major depressive disorders are associated with  increases in infectious disease risk as well as the incidence of inflammatory disorders. Declines of natural killer (NK) cell activity are reliably found in depression, whereas other studies report evidence of inflammation in depressed patients. Other studies showed that emotional stress correlated with impaired DNA repair mechanisms in cells that were subjected to radiation. Another trial suggested that anxiety, anger, and negative attitudes are a 30 times stronger risk factor for cancer thank smoking.
