How to Heal Asthma

Asthma as we all know is when a person is unable to breath properly. From a mind-body healing perspective this could give one alot to think about. If someone is suffering from asthma, yes it may be because of the condition of their lungs or esophagus, but then we could be compelled to think, why has their condition become so in the first place?

Usually there is an imbalance in the deeper levels of being before it manifests on the physical level. So since I have chose the topic of Asthma, lets see how the mind has been programed in people who suffer from this 'dis-ease'.

When someone suffers from Asthma it is usually because at a deeper level, they feel stifled and are "unable to breath for themselves". If someone has been very smothered by their parents, or guardians, or spouse and on some level accepted that as their way of life, they would quite likely be bound to suffer from asthma. Also if they were unable to cry as children and have suppressed themselves to shed tears, they will find it difficult to breath. In order to reverse this process, the mind as to be reprogramed with another thought process to ir-radicate the thought that is causing the asthma to appear.

The new thought pattern should be: "It is safe now for me to take charge of my own life. I chose to be free."

If babies or children are suffering from this it may be caused because of some deep rooted fear that makes them not want to live. The fear of life itself. The new thought pattern for that should be: "This child is safe and loved. This child is welcomed and cherished".

As mentioned above these are usually the mind body correlated reasons for asthma. However there may be an incidence of severe violence or the occurrence of an event that could have effected someone like that as well to have made them suffer from asthma.

In any case, if you can reverse the 'dis-ease', just by repeating these new thought process to yourself, what could be better than that. You have absolutely nothing to loose and you simply bring in more positivity into your life.

Let your mind believe that you are free and ready to experience life in a new way and let fresh oxygen flow into your system like never before!

Feng Shui to Attract Love

In order to attract love into your life, according to feng shui there are 2 ways of doing it.

1)You could naturally pick the south west corner of your home which is the universal corner of love and romance

2) OR by using a bagua map, which would mean your love zone is the far left corner of your home or room.

The whole idea behind attracting love through feng shui is to think about how does your love area make you feel? It would be a good idea to use warm colors such as soft pinks, cream, off white, magenta and or any colors that make you feel or think about romance and love. If you enjoying putting up pictures or artwork on your walls, make you don't have anything that signifies being single, or not loving. Make sure they are created with a healthy burst of colors and represents togetherness, love or balance.

You can also use quartz crystals to stimulate the energy in that stone and avoid the element of water. If you have a bathroom that is located in south west corner, it would be a good idea to put up a five rod wind chime above the toilet. Too much water in the love area could result in arguments and unhappiness in the love life.

Fresh flowers in the area are an all time winner. You just cannot go wrong, however make sure the leaves are not pointed and the stems are thorn free. Also make sure to put things in pairs and not in ones or threes, to improve your love life.

The whole idea is to stimulate that zone that makes you think of love and bring you feelings of being in love and watch how it manifests. For people who are single and would like some luck in their love life, a Jasper crystal in that area will simply do the trick.

The Power of Forgiveness

I FORGIVE YOU. 3 simple words. But what does it really mean to forgive? Do we REALLY forgive or do we still hold on to different types of ill feelings and resentment for years inside us just because we cannot let go of the pain? Forgive and forget? But how can we forgive if we cannot forget?

Forgiveness is a word that most people do not understand. Yet it is a word that we are taught ever since we are kids, by our parents, teachers and practically every religious book we have ever read. So.. what does it really mean to forgive? and why is it so important?

Forgiveness means that even though what happened to you is not ok, you are willing to let go of toxic or negative feelings associated that person or event. When you do not forgive someone, you hurt nobody but yourself. You believe that you are a victim and for as long as you believe you are the victim, you will always be nothing but that. When you choose to hold on to those negative feelings, you create stress in the body and mind, which in turn is the root cause of most diseases and disorders, for which there is really no logical reason for you to live with.

You can start by first forgiving your parents, your friends, your partner/s, and everyone around you, until you reach a point when you can start forgiving yourself. Forgiveness happens when you face the truth. It will hurt, but it is the only way you can make room in your life for pure unconditional love, that can heal you wholly and completely. By forgiving yourself you can forgive others and receive forgiveness, and only once that's in place can everything else around you change.

You know you have forgiven someone when you think about that person, hear their name or see them and no longer have an emotional reaction. When someone can touch what used to be a wound and it no longer hurts, then you know you have truly forgiven.

Heal yourself and shed all those negative emotions and watch how all your aches and pains start to vanish. It's the law of the universe, the Law of Attraction.

The Four Agreements

Back to Basics

In the ancient civilizations before the birth of conventional medicine, one of the most common ways of treating people was by performing a variety of therapeutic massages for different ailments. A blend of herbal oils were poured on the skin and special techniques were used to release stress and tension. These techniques vary depending on what the imbalance is.

Long sweeping strokes is to warm and soothe the muscles while fast friction is to breakdown tension so is the kneading and pounding. Today in the east the practice of applying pressure on certain points of the body have also proven to be so effective that there is usually no need to take a painkiller, if suffering from any type of muscular ache.

One of the most beneficial types of massages is a back massage. A back analysis can also be done if the massage is given correctly to check for congestion or imbalances in the organs or other areas of the body. A good back massage should be relaxing yet uplifting. The pressure should be firm and tight muscles must be targeted correctly so as to avoid future complications.

It is very important for people to get massages done regular as a way of taking care of their over all health. People of the ancient times understood massages to be a necessity and not just a luxury unlike today. It is a preventative measure for any diseases or imbalances that may be caused due to stress. There are many spas and massage center in every area that offer massages however please make sure that you book in with a qualified therapist to obtain maximum results.

From all the different types of massages to choose from give your self at least an hour every 2 weeks to maintain overall balance and wellbeing.

What The Mind Believes It Achieves

We live in a world where we all know what's right and what's wrong, what to do and what not to do and what's possible and what's impossible. The reason for this is because as we grow up this is how we've conditioned our minds to think. We are full of judgements of what's right and what's wrong. Some people follow what life teaches them, some follow what religion teaches them while others just follow their environment (family, friends, peers, etc). In a nutshell these thought processes become our REALITY.

For instance, most people believe that stealing is wrong. However, if you were to take a little boy from the slums of Brazil, he grows up seeing his father stealing just so that he can feed the family. In this little boy's mind, stealing is not wrong, instead its a means of living. This is his reality. Hence, he will keep stealing as he associates it with something positive and no matter what anyone may say, he will always be successful doing it as he believes that that is the only way to survival no matter what he does in life.

We are all different in this way, and we all have our way of critical thinking. The one biggest problem with this mind set (amongst several others) is the judgement that only certain things are possible while others are not.

If we reflect and think, why would some things be impossible to some while it is very possible others? The Answer: Because we believe it can't happen. What we believe we achieve.

Research shows that if you completely believe in something, it is quite likely going to happen. For instance, no matter how many financials problems you are faced with, if you start to believe that you are abundant and financially secure, you absolutely will be. The same applies to weight loss, relationships, family and so forth. You can simply recreate your reality.

Think only positive thoughts and see how it manifests. You can start today by making a list of all the things you want to change in your life and write it on a piece of paper in past tense (as if it's already happened), read it everyday as you believe it and simply watch the magic happen.

What does 'Healing' really mean?

Everyone at some point in their lives is faced with a problem irrespective of whether it is physical, emotion, psychological or even spiritual. Most people often seem to think of healing as a quick fix to an issue, however the true meaning of healing is to identify the root cause of what it is that is causing that problem in the first place.

For example, for people who are unable to express themselves emotionally, verbally or physically at some point in time will start to develop either stiffness in the neck or infections in the throat. Usually one would think of getting a massage to relieve the stiffness or perhaps pop a lozenges for the throat irritation, however the real cause is the inability to express. Although the massage and lozenges would help, they would only be a temporary solution to the problem and it would just be a matter of time before it surfaces again. By identifying real problem, you can irradiate it for ever and also realize the other parts of our life it may be pouring into.

Some feel that they dont really care about the root cause, they just want it to be resolved, such at the stiffness for instance. That is completely up to your discretion however please note that as mentioned before it would be quite likely to come back once that emotion is triggered again.

Healing is ultimately about balancing body, mind and soul. It is about realizing that it may take one smal thing to create the biggest catastrophes. It urges us to take inventory about what is really important for us to hold on to and what really isn't but we are conditioned to believe it is. Today, release all that that is bad for you and embrace all that is filled with love and positivity and let the true healing begin.
