Have you heard of the mind body connection and wondered what it actually means? And why is it important to look at if you are healing or wanting to create a better life for yourself? Would you agree that your physical body is strongly affected by your state of mind, or emotions?
The mind body connection is basically looking at how our thoughts create a biochemical reaction that shows up as a physical reaction. Have you ever gotten a stomach ache because you were stressed about going to the dentist, or worried about the result of a health check? That is evidence that our thoughts and emotions have a powerful effect on our physical body.
Most people unfortunately are not yet ready to accept fully that their thoughts are actually creating health or disease. But whether you are ready to take full responsibility for yourself or not, the connection between illness and stress in undeniable.
Take for example the common emotional of denial. It generates a lot of stress and is very destructive to the human body. When we are feeling denial we resist facing something.
Whether someone is ready to take responsibility for what they are thinking or choose to blame something external, their body is already producing stress hormones which create the right environment to create disease.
Emotions such as blame, skepticism are all based on fear. Fear is a very dis-empowering emotion that is not associated with health either.
People who become ill tend to have disempowering belief patterns. These subtle disempowering patterns, tend to override the influence of whatever positive attitude they may appear to have. Have you ever met someone who says really positive things but you feel like you don't believe them? Or they are trying to convey their message to you in an attempt to convince themselves?
I think we are in a society that mainly lives in denial. We are in fear of waking up and facing the truth of what we are thinking, what we are eating, and what we are doing because we are afraid that we will have to make drastic lifestyle choices. We are comfortable in our denied discomfort.
The majority of physical illnesses are a result from an overload of suppressed, repressed, unacknowledged emotional, psychological and spiritual crises.
The mind body connection is an empowering concept that enables us to look at how we are able to help ourselves. Becoming aware of what thoughts and beliefs we keep repeating all day, all year, for years IS creating our reality.
Being aware of the connection between your mind and body is unavoidable if you want to create health. Healing requires total honesty, acceptance and self responsibility. It all starts within us.
Begin your journey by starting to ask yourself what do you believe is possible for you? Is this belief empowering you or dis-empowering you? Your mind will help your body create whatever you believe to be true!
