…towards balance

This blog is going to be based on my personal experiences…I feel the urgent need to share about what life has taught me about being physically healthy. We urgently need to take proper care of our health! As True Parents showed at the first Original Divine Principle Workshop in Hawaii last year, by inviting an acupuncturist who also uses moksa herbs, we need to take care of our physical bodies, and we need to use natural methods to heal ourselves as much as possible.

Over the next 27 months I am going to tell you some of the highlights of my 36 year journey to health, and the lessons learnt along the way. The emphasis on physical care in no way diminishes my belief in True Parents or God’s Providence…I always kept active ‘on the front line’ as we say, whilst doing all these amazing things. Deepest thanks to God for guidance, and enthusiasm along the way!

I attended a seminar a few weeks ago on how the brain works, neuroscience.
The presenter Dr. Joe Dispenza spoke of his research into the brain and in particular his study of Spontaneous Remissions. This refers to cancer and other sicknesses, which were cured, when doctors thought there was no hope for them.

He identified 3 key factors in common with all the people he studied. On reading over these it struck me how close they are to our own teaching. Here are my notes. Can you see the similarity?

1) Spiritual Element – They believed in a Subjective Loving Intelligence, whom they would be able to make contact with and surrender their condition to. My will Your will – matching consciousness.

2) Attitude – My Emotions did this (this may also include preventing the body from repair) Thinking Feeling, Feeling Thinking Cycle. We become addicted to emotional states.

3) And most important! I HAVE TO RE-INVENT MYSELF through Thinking and Questioning. (May also be through study and counseling! – my addition)

The method he proposes for the above is a form of meditation, which athletes use “mental rehearsal” I also call creative visualisation or guided visualisation which I use with some clients. If we see the outcome we want, the body and circumstances can then move us towards that outcome.

It actually works in a very practical way. Joe explains about how our thoughts and feelings have an effect on our body chemistry, which changes us in a very physical way.
