The Powerful Effects of Journaling

Sometimes, we may be in situations that makes us feel uncomfortable or unhappy. When we experience such emotions they need to be properly digested or released. For instance, if I am angry at someone or something, the feeling of anger if not released will accumulate in my physical body. Since I have done this once, I will continue to repress my feelings of anger until one day when I will feel physically unwell and be diagnosed with some serious type of disease or sickness.

Whenever we are physically unwell be sure that its is caused my some emotional or mental imbalance or block that manifested itself in physical form. That is one reason why they always say, express how you feel and avoid keeping negative feelings inside, no matter how big or small they may be. At the end of the day, it's going to be your health on the line.

This is where the beautiful practice of Journaling comes in! Some people simply because of their personality or social surroundings may not be willing or able to express themselves in this manner. In such an instance, all it takes is a piece of paper and a pen and simply start writing everything out. As you keep writing about the incident, the people involved, the feelings involved and your current state, you start to release and get alot of things out of your system that you realize does not need to be there. As you write, you can start to forgive and let it go. It is a great tool for personal development.

This technique is a very powerful form of releasing any negative or unwanted feelings or energies. You may write one page or you may write a book, whatever it is just keep writing and get out all that you do not need. You may also write about all that you desire and how that would make you feel, simply watch how the energy shifts and the healing takes place.

Happy journaling....

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!

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.

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.
