Sitting silently in nature accesses the spirit, and when you learn to harness the energy of the spirit, you become powerful and free.
Your body naturally heals itself, given time. Using your mind is a painless, powerful key to unlocking your body’s healing potential.
The idea that the mind can influence the body is an idea whose time has come. What you think, is what you create. The body will respond to the cues that you give yourself. Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil are two famous pioneers of this important discovery. Andrew Weil, MD discusses in his new book, Your Health Matters, how the doctors in the near future will spend an hour with their patients, and recommend mind-body techniques, herbs, nutrients, and other relaxation techniques to create superior health.
Our bodies respond to stress, anxiety, and fear, so it is a natural corollary that it will respond to positive actions such as exercise, relaxation, and meditation. You can strengthen your immune system with your thoughts.
Presently, it is a difficult time for many people. To prepare for the more challenging moments in life, you can strengthen your chi-energy. You want your 'vault' to be full, and to be able to have access to that vault during hard times.
Here is a simple visualization to help you heal:
Sit as quietly as possible, in a place of nature that is comfortable. Or you may lie comfortably and imagine the scene.
You are sitting on the greenest grass, sweet smelling, after a gentle rain. Large, strong pine trees shade you from the sun. Focus on the trees, how solid and rooted they are, and how you and the trees are both a part of this great design on earth. You are the energy of the grass, trees, sunlight and breeze. They strengthen your molecules, cells-your whole body, especially at the navel. Allow your mind to release worry.
This is a simple method that practiced consistently will strengthen the immune system at a deep level.
Try meditating in the light of a moonbeam- a new crescent moon, the warmth of the sun, sitting on a red rock, or at the beach. It will refresh your body and mind. A clutter free mind is always a good option to create a peaceful existence.
