“Your cells listen to what you think” (Summary)
By: Leo Heart
"Health is our Natural state"
Remember that each system of your organism is in turn part of a larger system ... Therefore, each cell in your body, regardless of what type it is, finds out what happens to the others.
This is why your thoughts and emotions are heard and perceived by each of these cells ... Moreover, the cells of your Immune System are in constant attention to the images, ideas, sensations and emotions you experience ...
If your thoughts lead you to experience fear, anguish, insecurity ... they vibrate in a frequency that your immune cells inevitably perceive ... and what do you think is the result that they vibrate in that frequency?
What happens is that the incredible Internal Pharmacy that exists in your body can not process and properly administer the "Antibiotic ... Analgesic" or the substance necessary to combat that disease ...
Actually our cells are constantly listening to our thoughts and perceiving our feelings.
Do not let those thoughts and emotions interfere with your healing ... In our body is the cure for any disease ...
This knowledge allows us to move on to another stage of Medicine, known as PsicoNeuroInmunologia (PNI) that studies the interaction between psychic processes, the Nervous System, the Immune System and the Endocrine System of the human body.
The phrase: "Health is our Natural state ..."
Not only is it an abstract concept, it is a physiological fact. Our body has a self-healing mechanism, through which it produces in the dose and at the appropriate time the "antibiotic, immunomodulator, antidepressant, analgesic" or any substance or tissue that is required to counteract a disease or damage that may occur. The organism suffered.
We are born with this mechanism of self-healing, however the beliefs, ideas, education that society presents, causes us to be immersed in a “collective hypnosis” in which we believe that the disease is a “normal” state of the life history of Human being.
Now I would like to propose another model to understand the Health-Disease duality.
And for this we can talk about common examples of how we get sick.
They have sold us ... And I repeat "sold" that it is normal to be sick, for example if we start to feel a headache, we tear our eyes and have a nasal discharge, it is because we already have the flu and we have to go to the doctor or even worse buy the Fashionable anti-flu that advertises so showy on television ... When the body may be reacting in our favor to expel some physical agent that is irritating the nasal mucosa ... Even more so who of you has not experienced the following: “in the office a partner sneezes at work and immediately everyone starts sneezing and worse, there are those who say “I ALREADY GET THE FLU”, when the Influenza Incubation Period is 2 to 4 days… DO YOU KNOW WHAT MESSAGES YOU ARE COMMANDING TO THE CELLS OF YOUR BODY? ... and remember that they are in constant attention to the images, thoughts, words and feelings ... You are telling them "I AM ALREADY SICK" ... and incredibly, to every cell in your body automatically vibrates at such affirmation and begins to run a torrent of toxic substances throughout the organism ... What do you think is the consequence of such affirmation? That's right, you get home from work and the flu really started to develop in your body. When your body could automatically fight that infection without any problem, since it has specialized cells and substances for it.
Now imagine for a moment what happens when instead of a flu, a person is unexpectedly called "YOU HAVE CANCER", it is almost possible to see how life literally escapes from that person's body. Torrents of toxins travel through your body at that precise moment, even more your entire Immune System shudders and stops producing what is necessary for Self-healing.
And neoplastic (cancer) cells have an open field for proliferation.
These are some examples of how our body reacts to our thoughts, words, mental images and especially to our emotions ...
Now you are wondering what do I do so that my body is not affected in this way?
Let's look at a case of how the Mind-Body relationship is fundamental in the Self-healing process we have talked about earlier:
“Tina young woman who looked vigorous, very intelligent and attractive; I needed a physical exam as a requirement for a job application.
While establishing her medical history, I discovered that this patient had ever been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma or cancer of the lymph glands. He had been recommended to receive treatment at a prominent teaching hospital, which was associated with a famous medical school in the Boston area. There he received his first series of chemotherapy.
The cancer was extremely advanced, and it had been classified as an IV-B state, which meant that it had already invaded the bone marrow.
The patient suffered the side effects of chemotherapy, and they were so debilitating that she decided not to finish the entire series of treatment. His parents were doctors; therefore, she was under a lot of pressure from her entire family to continue the treatment.
Instead of giving in to this pressure, he left the country to live in a small European town for a year. There, I practiced only the simple visualization techniques (in one technique, patients are asked to visualize their disease, their treatment and the defenses of their organism, among others) proposed by Dr. Simonton, after having read a lot about them. A year later he returned to Boston. He realized that swollen lymph nodes and abnormal masses of various parts of his body had decreased in size.
When he was examined again in the clinic for cancer cases where he had previously been treated, all the doctors were very surprised to find not even some evidence that This patient had cancer.
They asked him what kind of chemotherapy he had been receiving and where. When he told them that he had not followed any typical medical treatment, but that he had been practicing the Simonton technique, completely alone, the reaction of the doctors it was the typical of institutionalized medicine: They told him that his recovery was known as a spontaneous referral; but they didn't discuss it or try to find out with her and they didn't even explain what he meant.
For them the very term of spontaneous remission allowed them to erase the phenomenon from their mind. Like many other scientists and doctors, they had a closed mind.
The real fact was that the patient had been practicing a definitive technique, and in her mind, at least, there was a cause and effect relationship between the technique and the clinical results that followed
We have already seen that the cancer cells, in their useless and clumsy multiplication, have lost contact with their basic intelligence, with the ability, at the genetic level, that must regulate a adequate cell division. Somehow, these mental techniques restore intelligence by operating from the consciousness of the mind. It is an intelligence within our body that communicates with another and normalizes it. What seems very promising is that healing arises within the patient, taking advantage of the body mind connection
Let us briefly expose some of this technique that shows us again the importance of the Mind-Body relationship in the Self-healing process.
Dr. Carl Simonton mentions that potentially effective mental images often contain certain features in common:
Cancer cells are weak and confusing.
The treatment is strong and powerful.
The healthy cells have no difficulty in repairing the small deterioration of the treatment.
The leukocyte army is huge and outperforms cancer cells.
• Leukocytes are aggressive, warriors, quick in the search and destruction of cancer cells.
• Dead cancer cells are eliminated from the body and naturally.
• At the end of the process, you have to represent yourself in perfect health.
• Visualize the achievement of goals in life.
Therapy Structure:
The psychological treatment lasts approximately six weeks, during which the repetition of the exercises will be attempted at least three times a day and with the recommendation of the use of relaxation and visualization indefinitely ...
"If there is a point when the patient shows no signs of cancer, he can start using mental images to perform a surveillance function and continue to be healthy and disease free."
The first step towards the path of health recovery is the understanding of how our beliefs and emotions have contributed to the disease; The next step is to find a way to influence these beliefs as support for the treatment; The cornerstone to carry out this task is the use of relaxation-visualization, since both tools have multiple uses and benefits for cancer patients.
In a second book "Healing is a journey", Dr. Carl Simonton, devised a two-year plan to restore health, for this, visualization remains essential. Prepare in this, five meditations as part of the work towards recovery:
1) meditation to change beliefs about cancer
2) meditation to build trust
3) meditation to improve communication with your inner wisdom
4) Meditation how to increase your safety by working with pain
5) Meditation on how to increase your energy to recover by decreasing the fear of death.
Up to this point we have talked about the inevitable relationship between the Mind and the Body in relation to the Self-healing process and in the generation of Health.
We proposed different examples of how our thoughts, our emotions, our memories fundamentally influence the physiology of our body to heal, as well as to generate the different diseases that we develop.
Obviously there are several factors and physical, chemical, biological agents, etc., to which we are exposed that are producers of diseases and deterioration of our organism ... But to what degree are you allowing your Immune System not to work precisely to generate the substances or antibodies necessary to defend against these external agents?
The daily experiences that we live metabolize them in the organism and generate a specific biochemistry. If the experience is perceived as pleasant or satisfactory, it can stimulate the immune system to our advantage.
However, if the experience is frightening or suffering, what do you think happens with your Immune System? Every cell in your recent body that information ... Remember that all the cells in your body are constantly "listening" to your thoughts and perceiving your emotions.
Let's review an interesting study of how our lived experiences definitely influence our biochemistry, cell aging, and ultimately our HEALTH:
** In 1985 Dr. Ellen Langer, a psychologist and professor at Harvard University, published a notice in the Boston Globe for 100 people over 70, whom she would take out of Boston, to a monastery to conduct an experiment.
For ten days they were going to pretend they were 30 years ago. All people had to be over 70 years old and for ten days they would pretend they were living thirty years before, in the 50's.
The war was over and they had all the newspapers, the “Life” magazines that were very popular at the time, there were photos and postcards, posters, music from the 50s, newspaper articles from the 50s, clothes with the fashion of that time. It was all those years, and it was spoken only in the present tense.
In another part of the monastery, another group of 100 people over 70 years, also speaks of the 50's but in the past tense. Everyone thinks and puts their attention in the 50's, but with the only difference that one group talks about and relives it in the present tense and the other group is thinking and talking about it, in the past tense.
After three days, he took some photos and showed them to independent observers; he asked them who were younger? and in most cases, they said the photos were about ten years ago or that person was ten years younger. Afterwards, hearing, vision, blood pressure were measured, in total he ended up measuring 100 different biological parameters of aging (bio-markers of aging), including immune, nutritional responses, and all had been reversed by at least about twenty years, in less than ten days.
She had reversed their biological ages over twenty years in less than ten days. He took them back to their homes on Friday afternoon and on Monday they were back where they had started **
This study is another example of how the way we "process" experiences, thoughts, memories, that we live daily, will have a constant influence on our Health.
It does not mean that we have to depart from the world and pretend to live 20 or 30 years in the past. But if you inform us of how the bio-markers of aging were reversed up to 20 years with the fact of re-living a series of pleasant experiences.
Why not start living them now?
Although there are currently several reliable evidence of how "Consciousness is transformed into the biochemistry of the body", there are still health professionals who unfortunately do not consider this duality for their treatments.
That is why we want to expose specific situations of how our thoughts, emotions, memories and experiences constantly create physiological reactions in each of our cells.
To those of us who work in the field of Health, we are taught that the biochemistry of the brain is what creates our thoughts, emotions, desires. However, I would like to propose another model with which we can understand how Consciousness creates biochemistry, which in turn directly influences our organism.
I have to mention that this model is not new, it has been developed from ancient cultures, for example with the Indian medicine system, the "Ayurveda".
Let's talk about two cases where something immaterial like consciousness, thoughts, feelings are transformed into something material, in this case a chemical, antibodies or tissues:
Case 1
** Researchers from the University of Miami, in which premature children were studied in the Intensive Care Room of the University Hospital, placed two groups of premature babies, in closed cribs with small holes (incubator) and with each of the Groups a researcher. Three times a day, he passed his arm through the window and caressed the premature babies. It was called "kinesthetic stimulation."
It was found that in the group where this type of stimulation was performed, the premature baby increased its weight by 40%, unlike those who did not receive this type of stimulation. **
Case 2
** Another case is that of a study conducted at the Ohio State University that consisted of analyzing the cholesterol metabolism in rabbits, in which rabbits were given very high fat diets, after a while they checked the elevation of Cholesterol and Arteriosclerosis levels (hardening of the arteries).
Surprisingly they discovered that one group of rabbits did not develop the same level of arteriosclerosis or hyperlipidemia although they had the same diet as the other group of rabbits that did develop them. In fact, 60% less was detected in the incidence of hyperlipidemia and its complications in rabbits of that group.
The scientists did not know why this difference occurred, until someone discovered that the person in charge of feeding that group of rabbits, instead of throwing them the food, took them out of the cage, caressed them and spoke to them affectionately.
As a result of this experience, rabbits transferred Cholesterol by a completely different metabolic pathway. >>
Concrete examples of how the organism and specifically each cell "listens, perceives and recent" every idea, thought and emotion at every moment of our lives.
So what do we need to do to help and support our body in the Self-healing process?… Obviously having a positive attitude towards life is very important, however it is not the only thing. Therefore, a fundamental step in the cure of any disease or condition, whether organic, psychological or emotional, is to change the idea, the paradigm with which we see and understand duality: HEALTH DISEASE
Health is our Natural state
