Your health is in your mind

Imagine a projector and blank screen. Without content these items mean nothing. And without the projector and screen, the movie also means nothing.

We usually choose if we want to educate, or feel romantic, or feel the adventure while watching a movie. And it works the same way with our brain. What content we choose to fill our brain with we will project on the blank screen called, ”Me and my life”.

Actually, since we’re born someone is constantly filing our brain with different kinds of content: parents, teachers, doctors, government etc. And they taught us to surrender, to hand over the power of our choice into someone else’s hands.

Since then someone else is choosing the movie that WE ARE WATCHING! If you feel weak you go to a doctor to confirm your sickness and give it a name. Native American tribes people stay in the tent if they feel weak and wait to see what message the body has for them. Often “the sickness” is simply here to show us the direction of our life.

But other humans consider it as something wrong to be rid of. I understand the sickness as a weakness that says open your eyes and look carefully. I don’t visit doctors any more (not for four years), and only the dentist twice a year. And of course I’m not taking any commercial medicine and drugs. Since I have connected my body as a part of me, the body and its colourful states are my helpers.

I don’t say my way is the right one, but I feel great. And the state of my health is my movie, the content of my mind that I’ve chosen. And I think it’s a great example of what it’s like when you decide to consciously influence the quality of your life.

Because when I was little girl the normal in our family was to be sick. And good health was considered something special, unusual and unreachable. I had laryngitis attacks often and in between various other sicknesses. During my teens I never stopped visiting the doctor I with several troubles considered as chronic illnesses.

I went though a few operations to try to fix it …and so on and on. It was really annoying for my life, but I did not know how to get out of this cycle. I had to meet lots of people with different points of view. And they showed me how to find the way out of this cage.

One day I noticed that I could accept health as a state of mind, even if my family will probably never understand that I don’t follow the family tradition in many ways. Including the fact that it really is a decision to feel well.

I don’t know what kind of family beliefs you have. But have the courage to play your own movie!

Wishing you a great journey in your life
