The Mind Body Spirit Connection

What is it? The mind body Spirit Connection is a wonderful thing. Understanding, supporting, and tapping into its power are pillars of healing and manifesting your true desires. They make us who we truly are.

You cannot separate the three. Understanding the unity of the three within each individual being is amazing. It has been part of the healing system for thousands of years. To reinforce the understanding, you mind can help heal your body.

Even when It appears that only the body needs healing, the cause may trace back to the mind or spirit. Therefore healing your mind can heal your body. Mental stress can lead to the cause behind a large amount of diseases.

Next time you feel stressed, notice your physical and emotional systems. You may have sweaty hands, your vision may change, and your heart may be faster. Your mind may be racing, feeling panicked or angry. If you can pray it may help you stay focused. When you feel peaceful and relaxed you can breathe. You may feel connected to your intuition to all that is Devine. You may feel inspired to offer gratitude, praise, to sing and dance.

Consider when you hurt a part of your body or are sick, your whole being I’d affected. When you stub your toe it radiates through your entire body. It may be hard to think of anything else.

What happens when you hear good news? You feel excited, your body may feel supercharged.

A babies entire little bodies move and responds with every emotion and physical sensation.

You have probably heard these expressions. “He was a broken spirit” if your hair ever stood up on your body. Or “I feel it in my soul.” Or I knew it in my gut.” You have experienced the mind body connection.

Before children learn to hide their feelings. You can see their mind-body experience. Shrieking screams, tears, flailing arms, a red face, legs moving around can express their feelings of anger. Sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, laughter, or clapping their hands express their happiness.

Is It Mind Over Body?

In the past experts used to think the mind was another name for brain. They now realize that the mind is in the body. You say you have butterflies in your stomach that describes feeling anxious. Children you have not learned to hide their feelings. Have emotions in their faces, bodies, and their behavior at the same time. We can see watch their emotions change and flow by what their bodies are doing.

Our brain has a powerful influence over our body, there is a lot more to the mind body connection than a master-slave relationship. The once believed mind powers and consciousness belong to the brain is a myth.

Our intelligence goes far beyond the power of our brains. The brain can communicate with our bodies and the body communicates with the brain on a continuous basis.

The cells are like miniature people. They have the same system and receptors as skin. Their environment and community’s act like cells at large. Their environment is affected by nutrients, toxins, and your perceptions. The factors influence how genes express themselves more the DNA. It is a matter of nurture over nature.

Each cell in your body is independent like. Member of a community that makes up your body.

Your heart has thousands of neutrons that communicate with the brain to the vagus nerve and the other way back. Your heart actually as a larger magnetic field that your brain.

Our mind body works in mysterious unpredictable ways. Their are people who experienced an spontaneous healing know healing can and does happen.

It dumbfounds me how God can make our bodies magnetic to heal ourselves. Our bodies are throughly a miracle at work.

Tapping into Your Mind Body Connection

Individuals can use different techniques to reach wisdom of the mind, body, spirit connection. These methods vary with skills, the ability of relax and being detached from the outcome and perhaps elements no one is even aware of.

Have you seen demonstrations the people who can twist in all different positions. Have you ever wondered how they can do it and not be in immense pain. Our bodies, minds, and spirits are amazing things. We can control our body systems in ways we never have imagined. Only God knows us in and out. It is miraculous that our bodies can heal itself.

Honesty

Honesty is not about telling the truth. It’s about being real about yourself and others about who you really are. Honesty cuts through deception like hot wax and eats away at the deceit. It leads to a full free life.

We need to have an authentic life if we’re going to be successful at anything in life.

Honesty promotes openness and empowers and enables us to develop a consistent life. It’s how we present the facts in out lives. Honesty sharpens our perception and allows us to observe the things around us with clarity.

The integrity of the upright guides them but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Proverbs 11:3

Integrity is the practice of being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. Integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions.

The Tangled Web We Weave

The opposite of honesty is deception or lying. Lying is bad whether you are deceiving yourself or others. When you lie, you delude yourself into believing what your saying. You start digging a hole for yourself that keeps getting bigger and bigger overtime. You confuse yourself, confuse others, lose credibility and put yourself in harms way.

The worst kind of lying we practice is in order to deceive, when we lie to ourselves. We start with Messing around with our concept of morality, as well as our dreams and desires. I have lied to protect my secrets of my past. To make people look at me as a strong person. Believe me your only hurting yourself when you do this.

When you lie and you know it’s wrong your inner core wares and rebels against you. You are mentally committed to doing what you lied about because you have to keep up a front about yourself. It’s not who you really are.

When I looked back on what I lied about I was only trying to excuse what my mother did to me. And misrepresent my own shortcoming for why I was like the way I was. It produces temporary pleasure for me. But in the end I felt worse about myself that before I I had lied.

This discouraging path I was on manifested itself in ways that I couldn’t possibly perceive at the time. It set me back by delaying whatI wanted to do with my life. It took away the ability to take chances that my heart was willing to take.

Despite its temptation, ease of use and false promises, lying gets us nowhere in the end. We tend to stay right where we are because we are trying to keep our lies from being found out. It drags us down even more. Instead of moving forward we end up going backward.

Honesty and seeking truth is ways the path to follow. Honesty gains confidence, faith, empowers are willpower and represents us in the best light possible to see the real us.

Telling the truth when tempted to lie can improve a persons mental and physical health.

Respectable behavior is always carried by honesty. Telling the truth and backing it up with actions will show respect and an esteem for what’s right with ethical and moral integrity. It make you a responsible person.

Success for me is not about money, sales, or the amount of friends I have on Facebook. It’s about character, self-awareness, emotional intelligence and honesty and hard work. How we treat ourselves and others improve or lives and the lives of others.

Honesty is the first a Chapter in the book of wisdom

Thomas Jefferson

Honesty is always genuine. We must lay out our cards on the table and be transparent if we want to have a better life for ourselves

How To Wait

For the majority of us. Patience doesn’t come easily. And when it does come, it’s often fleeting. Th of the time, we rush, we interrupt, we get exasperated when people cut ahead of us in line, we charge things not rather than paying cash later, we curse drivers who impede our progress in the fast lane.

From decisions made in haste to words spoken without reflection, impatience causes a vast amount of pain, waste, and damage.

Fortunately, even if we aren’t born with a great deal of patience, it’s a virtue that even the most agitated among us can develop.

The keys to finding more patience in the marketplace or stuck in traffic- lies in finding new ways of perceiving your predicament.

Start Seeing Differently

Most impatience begins as a reversal feeling of discomfort, your face gets hot, or your stomach feels weird. Then negative thoughts begin rolling in like storm clouds- frustrating thoughts about how something or somebody should be moving faster or doing something differently.

It’s these thoughts that cause problems. Our conscious mind is searching for an object to blame for out initial discomfort, but this only makes things worse, because it’s like pouring kerosene on a fire to put it out.

What works better is to reframe irritating. Circumstances. Find creative ways to see and relate things other then getting mad.

Bypass blame: rather the faulting anyone in particular for the fact that you have to wait or adjust your plans, try entertaining the notion that they delay just is, who knows, it may even turn out to be to your advantage; if not for the wait, perhaps you might have encountered a bigger problem- or accident instead.

Be thankful for small blessings: if you’re stuck in a traffic jam, and you have a cell phone that allows you to call to explain. Your delay to whoever is waiting for you, that’s a blessing. And once you make that call you’re free to embrace more blessings, like the opportunity to listen to some great music while actively strengthening your patience muscles. See if you can sit in traffic without wishing I’ll upon a single driver, even if several of them manage to get their cars into the moving lane before you do. Try radiating goodwill instead.

Write your own history: keeping mind that you are always suffering your own experience. Eventually, the irritating circumstances you are dealing with will be one, and you’ll be left with the choices you made. Do you want to look back on losing your cool or do want to look back on having made an honorable, embarrassment free escape from a bad situation? The choice is yours.

Whenever you feel the burn of impatience, just keep your eyes on the prize of your own equanimity.

Expand your Empathy

Learn to see the complexity of a situation. This means understanding that human beings have complicated lives in a complex universe, all the variables of which can possibly know or appreciate at the moment. Just remembering this fact may allow up to amplify our sense of empathy with others, and soften a little.

Pull Tolerance From Positivity

It’s easier to have patience when we’re awash in good feelings. When we’re newly in love it seems nothing can disturb our sense of well being. When your in a positive way, we seem to take in all in stride.

When we are generally happy, our ability to comfortably tolerate annoyances skyrockets. We can use that dynamic to our advantage.

This doesn’t involve gritting our teeth and bearing reality. On the contrary, it involves actively noticing and cultivating positive feelings. Pay attention to pleasant, everyday sensations and experiences like the pleasure of eating when your hungry, putting on warm socks when your feet are cold, or seeing a beautiful bank of clouds in the so. This is called ”cheerfulness practice, ” and it can do a lot to lengthen our proverbial fuse.

There will always be things that push us to impatience. But practicing with little annoyances shows us we can build a greater capacity for humor and perspective overall. So when the truly big challenges come along, there’s grace. Waiting for you.

I have a difficult time during Christmas. I absolutely dislike shopping at Christmas. The mass of people come out and waiting is difficult. My Pastor gave me some advice and it helped me tremendously, He said:” look how long God waited for you if he waited years for you surely you can wait for others for a few minutes.” Great advice.

Feeling Lost in Life.

I’m convinced that one of our missions in life is to learn what we need to become better versions of ourselves. That is why we do d ourselves in situations we don’t have the tools to handle. Then when we don’t know what to do with the circumstances and the associated emotions, we are presented with a learning opportunity.

Many times I have found myself in situations where I feel lost, not knowing where to start. They are mostly life-changing situations, events that demand us to make life-defining decisions even though we don’t understand what is really going on.

Proverbs 3: 5-6 tells us Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.

For some people it’s the loss of a loved one, for others, it’s losing a job, or being in a car accident, or beings assaultedm a breakup, a divorce, even though we don’t understand what is going on God has plans for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.

Sometimes our situations seem traumatic. We the to overthink and only on a specific situation. We start to feel anxious about how we are going to get through it and maybe at the same time, sad or guilty about what’s happening. We question our decisions, ”Why did I do that?” or Why didn’t I do this?” or both. We tho kof the should haves, could haves and would haves, and then we blame ourselves and give the situation or people involved. The power to impact our self-confidence and self-esteem.

I have found most of the time everything works out for the best if you leave it to God. I always ask, seek and you will receive. For every one that asks receives and he that seeks will find, and to him, that knocks the door will be opened.

So don’t give our power to other people we start making divisions based on what other people say. Don’t give your power away to anyone. For example, I let other people tell me what kind of vehicle to buy for 25 years. I either hated my ride or ended up trading it in because I was not satisfied. Which was putting further and further in debt. I made the decision to trade-in my last car, not because I didn’t like it, but I ended being stranded during the winter months because it was dangerous to drive. I finally chose I vehicle that I wanted, and that was right for me. My husband absolutely hated it, but I just told him that he wasn’t the one driving it I was. I’ve had this vehicle longer than any other one I’ve ever had. All through hard work almost have it paid off. I was a huge decision on my part. And I felt empowered.

Some decisions we have to make come from negative emotions. Fear of the future, fear of failure or success, sadness for the past and sometimes guilt and regrets and anxiety.

I always try to remember what is the middle of anxiety. I right? I being anxious about myself. No one is to blame but me.

You may be thinking how are you supposed to deal with all the emotions and understand what do you need to learn from the situation all at the same?

Know yourself. You are not your situation. Pause and reflect on who you are set aside from your situation, what do you like, what don’t you like, what do YOU want, what could you accept, and what couldn’t you accept.

Respect yourself. Once you know who you are and what you like and don’t like. Learn where your boundaries lay. Act according. Always think, who you are and how will this will impact your life. Will it take you closer to where you want to be or to the person you want to become.

When I am in a situation and I don’t know what to do. I ask God, what do you want to teach me through this situation? What do you want me to learn? If you think about it that way, any situation you are in will help you learn what you need to through what you are going through.

Be compassionate with yourself. Instead of beating yourself up choose forgiveness, and decide what you can do different next time. Instead of being your worst judge, learn from your mistakes and try again in a different way. It was explain do me. That every situation is a mountain every time the same situation comes around it’s like running around a mountain. How many times are you going to have to run around the same mountain before you learn the lesson.

Check reality. When do you feel like you are not enough like you are a failure, or like you just too afraid to try, ask yourself what is the evidence of that and who says that? If the answer is you’re the only one saying that, look at yourself and the situation from a different perspective. We all have tough situations in our lives at one time or another. We have an opportunity to learn from everyone.

Be in the present. Despair and depression usually come from looking at the past, and the anxiety that comes from what is going to happen. When we focus on our past we relive the painful situation over and over and best ourselves up about it. When we focus on the future we worry about what’s not even happened yet. We worry about everything past and future. Worry about the present and the future will worry about itself. The past is gone there is nothing we can do about the past. Focus on what you have learned from your past and move on to the present situation at hand.

Think before acting it’s very difficult to be objective in an intense emotional state. We can become impulsive and tend to find quick solutions to our problems. They is a saying that goes ”Never quit on a bad day.” Avoid making important decisions on emotionally charged times. Think before acting.

Do what you have to do. If you want to see results you need to do the work. Be clear in your goals. Then commit yourself to do what you have to do every day, focus only on what you need to do at that present moment, knowing that next day, week or month you will also do what you need to do until you accomplish your goal, until you are on the other side of the difficult situation. The best way to move forward is to make sure you take each step.

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.
