What we believe has a powerful impact on how we heal. Modern science and ancient wisdom now agree: there is a strong link between belief and healing<\/a>. In this post, we\u2019ll explore how your thoughts affect your health, why certain mindsets can block healing, and what you can do to align your beliefs with well-being.<\/p>\n As much as a person may desire health, there are often deep-seated fears and beliefs which must first be addressed before physical healing can occur. These fears and beliefs are the reason for the illness, and unless they are healed, the illness will most likely reoccur. Many of us have belief systems in place which cause us harm. Almost all adults have experienced trauma and tragedy of some nature, but when you let that tragedy overshadow your life and define your reality, you prolong the suffering and you harm your health.<\/p>\n Dr. Bruce H. Lipton<\/a>, former medical school professor and research scientist, discovered that genes and DNA do not dictate your biology. Instead, your DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. That means you can literally think yourself well, or sick, depending upon what you choose to focus.<\/p>\n Here are some ways in which you may be harming your health.<\/p>\n The way you think, feel and talk about your health strongly determines the state of your health. For instance, talking about a disease as \u201cmy disease\u201d makes it much harder to heal. That is because you identify with illness rather than with health, and wherever your attention goes grows.<\/p>\n Symptoms:<\/em><\/p>\n Many people believe that their health is determined by DNA. They say things like, \u201cCancer runs in my family\u201d, or \u201cAll of the men in my family died young”. Scientists like Dr. Lipton are helping to prove that this is not true. Your belief in these assertions is what compromises your health and helps to turn your fears into self-fulfilling prophecies.<\/p>\n Symptoms:<\/em><\/p>\n Repeatedly revisiting, retelling and rehashing past hurts and traumas is a trap many adults fall into without realizing it. The older you get, the more hurts you accumulate unless you learn to release them. Letting the negatives in your past cloud your present robs you of present and future happiness, and compromises your body\u2019s immune system.<\/p>\n Symptoms:<\/em><\/p>\nThe Link Between Belief and Healing<\/h2>\n
