Can you influence your own healing through your intentions? This is something that we have all reflected on at one time or other in our lives. You will be comforted knowing that the answer is a resounding, “Yes!”
Science is only beginning to understand some of the most basic issues about health and healing. Your cells are designed to respond in the appropriate manner to any given environment. This makes intuitive sense, if your cells are put in a hot environment the internal biochemistry adjusts so that the cell can survive in this new environment. The cells in your body obviously respond to both physical and mental stimuli. The internal mental environment that you create with your intentions will influence your cells the same way that these physical stimuli do. The mental environment is often over looked when it comes to healing but it is one of the most significant factors in the healing process.
We all know that everyone has different ways of coping with stress, and some people are more effective at this than others. Stress hormones are released from our bodies when we feel threatened. Adrenaline gets us ready for fight-or-flight response by increasing heart rate and boosting energy for quicker response times. If this stress reaction becomes chronic and persists for long periods of time then we may suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep and digestive problems and a list of other issues.
Why is it that some people suffer from stress disorders when all of us are surrounded by similar stressors in our lives? This is because people react to their perception of stressful situations, rather than the stressful situation itself. The same event can lead to very different reactions in different people.
You are the one who dictates not only how you perceive your environment but also how your body reacts to the situation. There is no such thing as an idle or neutral thought, which should act as a huge motivation to practice positive thoughts. You are 100 percent in control of your perception of your environment. This consequently influences your internal biochemistry and your health. You can directly control how your cells react to any given environment. The future in medicine is harnessing self-empowerment through your own focused thoughts and intentions.
