"The Mindbody Miracle"
Physical problems don’t’ necessarily have purely physical causes. Due to the mind-body connection, I’ve discovered using the Mind Detox Method that a person’s emotionally-charged beliefs can also be a major contributing factor to whether they are physically healthy, or not.
“Symptoms most people consider to be physical problems are in fact the body’s best attempt at staying alive.”
Survival is the primary goal of the human body. It is not designed to just break, malfunction or get ‘sick’ without good reason. The body is constantly doing everything in its power to adapt to, and survive, the inner and outer conditions it’s experiencing during daily life. One of the main determinants of your body’s climate is in fact your thoughts and emotions. How is this possible? The answer lies in the miracle that is the mind-body connection.
The mindbody connection has been known for centuries, but it is only in recent years that scientists have been able to prove how thoughts and emotions affect the body. Your unconscious mind is linked with your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which regulates your heartbeat, blood pressure, digestion, metabolism, along with many more of the ‘automatic’ bodily functions.
Obvious autonomic mindbody connection responses include getting a red face when embarrassed, your mouth watering when you think of a food you love, and experiencing butterflies in your stomach when you’re feeling nervous or excited. Although we generally take these everyday physical reactions for granted, it’s useful to take a moment to appreciate what’s actually happening.
Your embarrassed red face requires thousands of chemical reactions to take place within your body along with the diversion of blood flow to your skin. Sensations of butterflies in your stomach is the result of the blood draining from the stomach lining as it heads to the outer regions of the body to help you resist or run from the perceived threat.
Even the saliva in your mouth is a miracle. When you think about a food you like your body gets ready to eat it. Your salivary glands immediately go to work producing a fluid composed of water, mucus, proteins, mineral salts, and amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starches. Even more amazing, your body reacts differently towards a food you like and a food you dislike. When you think about a food you don’t like your body produces less saliva, making it more difficult to swallow the food you believe you don’t like. Two very different physical responses, yet the only way the body knows to respond differently is via the beliefs you have about different kinds of foods. Amazing!
“Whatever your mind believes, perceives and experiences has the potential of getting sent to the rest of your body causing physical responses.”
Stop to consider all the physical reactions that happen as a result of what’s happening in your mind. And you can’t help but begin to question if your back pain, skin condition or digestive disorder is the result of a purely physical cause. The implications of the mindbody connection are massive when it comes to understanding why people get physical problems. Especially when you recognise the extent to which the beliefs you have about yourself, your life and the world around you are not only known by the cells of your body, but cause physical changes to occur.
The Mind Detox Method is a highly effective way of discovering and healing the hidden beliefs causing physical conditions and life stresses. Experience it for yourself at my clinics or retreats – www.minddetox.net.
