The power of the mind is pretty immense (and intense). And the fact of the matter is that the body and its automatic functions keep us alive every single day, every single moment. We don’t have to think about the simple biological functions that are needed for us to make it through another hour… they’re just taken care of, effortlessly. The beauty of it is that most of the time it’s okay not to pay attention, because paying attention to the other tasks in life (that require the mind) takes precedence. And the body is actually happy to take care of the mundane living-tasks while we spend our attention elsewhere – this is its purpose.

Every once in a while, though, the body falls ill with something, and we are forced to pay attention. We must, of course, nurse it back to health with vitamins, extra rest, warmth, and the like. However, there’s an extra layer to the nursing that needs to be included for true and lasting success – the power of the mind. Our mind is all powerful when it comes to the matters of the body, and with an unwaveringly positive attitude great mountains can be moved.

Know that you DESERVE health, and always send love to yourself. Send love and positive thoughts to your whole body from head to toe, sending extra to the places that need it most. Truly feel yourself accepting this positivity, and allow it to radiate through you bringing renewed vigor. When you release negativity and only accept good thoughts, you are encouraging all the healing mechanisms in your body to work even more efficiently… this brings about total health much faster.

It’s important to recognize that the power of your mind works both ways… when you are harboring negative thoughts or grudges (for others or yourself) the body definitely starts showing physical signs. And just attacking the physical representations of your ailment(s) isn’t the only strategy, because nothing will be fully healed until you approach the brain’s aspect of it. Be open-minded and sympathetic, and most of all be understanding! The interconnection between mind, body, and spirit is so strong that complete healing can only take place when you acknowledge and handle every side of any illness. Take some time to truly heal the roots of any ailments you have, in a spiritual and mental sense.

Sometimes it’s not even necessary to delve really deep to spell it out, but accepting a wave of positivity as a replacement for unattended negativity is enough. What I mean is that sometimes all you need to do is finally dump the negative baggage, grudges, resentment, envy, and stress… Allow your body and mind to bask in a rainbow of positive rainbow golden light and allow negative things to just dissipate and exit, never to be seen again. Become a being of light, a candle in a world of darkness. Begin with yourself! Become the kind of person that only accepts positivity as a lasting emotion; the kind of person that is observant and present in every situation, knowing that with a clear and even-keel mind you only allow positive emotions to stay.

With this sort of mindset you will find that even the smallest of ailments are overcome in a much swifter way. Better yet, practice on the smaller ailments. Spend a few minutes when they’re available to repeat the exercise above… finally release this baggage that hasn’t been suiting you, and find yourself relaxing in new ways… You definitely deserve it, and so do those around you!

I’ve used this same method in conjunction with vitamins and extra rest to stay healthy through many flu seasons, and to overcome colds within two days when I do catch them. Try it sometime?
