BUST THE TOP 8 MYTHS STOPPING YOU FROM LIVING ...

It should be simple to be your true self, shouldn't it? 

However, you've been conditioned to value effort within a paradigm that has you working hard to earn things, struggling to feel deserving, and constantly striving to improve. And so, you end up viewing your life purpose as a project to be completed - something that has to be achieved.

This way of viewing your life purpose is exactly why you might feel stuck.

It is possible to live in a way that honours your true nature, brings you meaning, purpose and joy and which doesn’t leave you feeling like you are not enough or there is something missing. Living your purpose can be effortless.

I'm All Grown Up, Who Do I Want to Be?

Is There a Conflict Between Who You Think You Should Be and Who You Are?

A few issues ago we discussed healing the relationship between the mind and the body. We explored how we rely heavily on the ‘mind’ to determine our identity – our   ‘idea’ of ourselves. It is usually the mind that ‘calls the shots’ and maintains our identity by dictating our choices, actions and behaviours. But the body and its senses, feelings and intuitions often has very different ideas about who and what we are. This difference of opinion can result in anything from a niggling source of dissatisfaction or discontentment to a full-blown inner conflict about our life purpose and choices.

Kinesiology Techniques for Brain Integration

In the last edition we looked at Jill Bolte-Taylor’s experience of “stepping to the right of our left brains” in order to relinquish left-brain dominance and tap into the wellbeing, joy and inner peace to be experienced by right-brain thinking. You’ll also recall however, that practically every cognitive behaviour we exhibit involves the activity of both hemispheres. The left and the right hemispheres actually complement each other. Mental balance occurs when we use both sides of our brain simultaneously, for example, harnessing the benefits of the Right Brain’s creativity in generating ideas and the Left Brain’s logical analysis of their feasibility.

Is the Left Brain Always Right?

In 1780, Professor Meinard Simon Du Pui suggested that from a medical point of view, man was Homo Duplex – that is, he possesses a ‘double brain’.  Nearly a century later, in the late 1800s, London physician Arthur Ladbroke Wigan was viewing the autopsy of one of his patients and when the skull was cut open he found one of the patient’s cerebral hemispheres was missing. Wigan was surprised because he knew the man could read, write and function normally. Wigan therefore concluded that if one cerebral hemisphere was capable of supporting a fully functioning mind and personality, it followed that normal humans with two intact hemispheres must have two minds.

How Thoughts Impact Your Body: The Proof is in the Water

The Proof is in the Water

In the last issue we discussed Energy Medicine and the way in which the quantum world views everything as ‘energy’ and considers human beings to be dynamic energy systems who constantly interact with the numerous energetic forces in their environment. If we accept (or are at least open to accepting) Einstein’s premise that all physical matter, sound, light, and our bodies are really just made up of vibrating waves of energy, then it seems reasonable to assume that our thoughts are also just another form of energy.

Emotions and Meridians

,

illness always begins at energy level. A stress (mental or physical) will trigger a reaction or particular emotional state. This emotional state causes a reduction or imbalance in energy in a particular meridian. If this emotional state persists it will eventually lead to a disease or illness in the associated meridian/organ.

The Connection Between Our Beliefs and Our Health

Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life was first published in 1984 and fourteen years later it was still on the New York Times best sellers list. It has sold over 35 million copies worldwide and remains one the definitive self-help books. 

For those unfamiliar with Hay’s work, she was a pioneer in explaining the mind-body connection and the metaphysical nature of illness. Her philosophy is simple: the thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences and our reality. Hay linked physical ailments with mental causes or negative thought patterns and then developed positive thought patterns or ‘affirmations’ for reversing illness and creating health.

What is Energy Medicine?

The Body as an Energy System

Conventional or Western medicine is based on Isaac Newton’s model of reality grounded in the science of biochemistry. The body is seen as a complex biochemical machine which is explainable in terms of the behaviour of molecules and atoms. When problems arise within the body (dis-ease), the modern approach is to intervene at the physical level with drugs or surgery. This approach therefore pays little attention to the role of mind, emotion and spirit in the causation, healing, and prevention of disease. Energy Medicine is based on Einstein’s quantum theory which sees human beings as networks of complex energy fields.
