At the risk of inviting a comeuppance, I understand my own mind and the energy it possesses is what protects me and my health more than anything else in this whole, wide world.
I refuse to be sick. In large part because I don't believe I will be sick. I don't worry about sickness. Sickness doesn't hold space in my mind. Not even the possibility of becoming sick. Sick gets absolutely zero of my energy. I refuse to feed sick the energy it needs to harm me.
I've been to many a holistic healer who I've agreed to be tested by for any weaknesses within my system and they've found none. My partner has many, is always searching for a remedy of some sort or other. My partner is burdened by fear and anxiety over being sick. And so sickness persists within. The holistic healers try what they can with whatever remedies they possess. But they can only do so much until my partner rejects ideas of external risk and internal vulnerability.
The healers will say my mind protects me right in front of my partner. Yet it doesn't sink in. My partner can't let go of ideas about sickness that result in becoming sick.
I haven't so much as had the sniffles in over six years. What was that Covid thing I heard about? Stories I heard of but never felt. I'd even hug people in my neighborhood I'd see outside on their patio, who'd warn me from coming close, they had Covid and were isolating, quarantining. They got a BIG HUG from me. I never got sick.
And that sick six years ago was my first sick in 6-8 years. Seems to be my life's pattern. And when that rare sick comes I'm astoundingly better within a day or two, nobody can believe I spring up so quickly from conditions others stay down for five from.
Mind. Wellness starts and ends in the mind. My life experience. Anecdotal, sure. Reinforced by holistic healer's testing. Whatever credibility you choose to assign them. If your mind is strong enough, your faith in God's perfect creation sincere enough and your will to resist any and all mind viruses I'm confident others will share my experience.
*Note: I don't walk into burning buildings, play in traffic or visit toxic chemical environments. Having a powerful mind that protects from illness isn't license to defy common sense.
Thank You, Tessa. I was raised with the approach to health of being as natural as possible in diet and lifestyle, in the 1960s days of "you can't get too much sun and fresh air", and "be home by dark".
That wasn't far from where I still am at 66. It has stood the tests of time well. I have gotten a lot of stitches over all those years, and try not to need them these days. I grow fresh vegetables and I feel better when I eat what I grow. I get sun, but I take vitamin-D and a few other supplements. I love my wife, my children and our grandchildren. I meditate compassion...
That's what I've got.
Seek to open to your inner self and be there when you can, when you think of it.
Great article - I've been led to the 'inside job' of healing my physical/mental/emotional & spiritual bodies for 30+ years. Re-parenting my wounded self from childhood/generation trauma is an ongoing painstaking process but it is a Solution that works & healing is happening - 12 step programs have helped too. A Divine Power guides & directs me to the Light of Healing. God's blessing to you TL - appreciate your work ...
Thank you, Susan, and I am so happy to hear that your healing has been beautiful and that it worked!! Now you are in the position to help others as well to do same, and it's a beautiful thing!!
yes, the adult body housing the pained/suffering child. i've come to some clarity for my self: how can i reduce the suffering of the world? begin by reducing my own suffering and move out from there. how to reduce my own suffering? to see how my behaviours in words and actions increase it and figure out how to reduce then stop them.
hmmmm catch-22, because it is the adult body house someone who is mostly and adult who is best able to take responsibility for seeing how our words and actions are adding to the world's suffering — or not.
wow! a really challenging situation/opportunity!
nice essay.
all the best with what is changing. everything changes! with peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
Thank you, Guy, as usual, wonderful to hear from you! "How can i reduce the suffering of the world? begin by reducing my own suffering and move out from there.?" I think that is how it works! I think the world is fine, it is currently broken but it is way bigger than our human perception, and it is fine. But we are responsible for ourselves and our job, and for figuring out how to relax and love ourselves!!! By "responsible" I mean it works a lot better for us than not doing so. :-)
and yet the entire system of indoctrination is primarily about removing from us personal responsibility and to find who or what to blame. this is a main, or maybe even 'the' source of the plague of chronic child in the adult syndrome.
Actually, I think it's perfectly fine to complain when it's appropriate and when it's toward healing. Putting a cap on whatever is bothering a person is unhelpful and creates a time bomb, in my experience. It's more about how we complain, when, to whom, with what purpose, etc.
wonderful. and i actually disagree, although i agree about it being a huge problm to deny the feeling of wanting to complain. a slight reframe. and perhaps a topic for discussion.
Two quick comments to be comprehensive. 1) Where do you fit in the autoimmune diseases where the body is triggered to attack itself? 2) In the bottom circle, should there be Spiritual Health as part of what may be needed for proper balance? Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Jerry! I was thinking if "spiritual state" should be a separate category or it is covered by the combination of emotional and mental. I think it works either way. The way I see it, what we call "spiritual" means that it lives in dimensions that we can't see, and what we call "physical" lives in dimensions that we can see. So in this sense, a combination of "emotional" and "mental" components covers the spiritual.
Everything will be fine, but in time, sometimes you have to be in the dark to heal, to heal the wounds, but thinking in the light requires physical activity and excitement! Health is like a struggle, but in silence.

Beautiful, good for you, and the last paragraph is important, too!
In our profession, our hearts are burned... I will try not to harm anyone that is irreversible!!!! I don't hear this afterlife...*

I like your method, Brother John!! :-) And I thank you for being a doctor in the real sense of it.

yes. sounds simple!

I agree, Guy!
lol! careful. we might become our own echo chamber: no blame no complain about anything. hmmmm. challenge.
