“People who expect and believe that they have done something to make themselves ill can actually product those illnesses… Negative expectations make us sick. Positive expectations make us welll.” From the book You the Healer

Germs, bacteria, viruses are always present. But, the immune system keeps us healthy. If we are stressed, worried, or thinking that we will get sick, it taxes the immune system and it has no way of defending us against these “illnesses.”

And, if we expect to get sick, we will. For example; we flying on a plane with tons of germs, we start stressing that we will get sick. Then, create an image in our mind of what that might look like and then we feel the emotions and we do all we can so we won’t get sick, but we are holding the image in our minds of being sick. And no actions we take to prevent the sickness is more powerful that our visualization of being sick. And, to add to it, we often affirm it by saying, “I know I am going to get sick because I sat next to someone who was coughing the whole time.“

When you look at it like this, it is no surprise that we get sick is it!?! :)

Can we actually create positive expectations and images that keep us well!?! Absolutely. We can affirm our health, we can visualize our health, and then experience health. If we love our bodies and affirm that our immune system is healthier and our body is getting better and better everyday. If you hold these as your dominant thoughts, your immune system celebrates and keeps you healthy!

The whole-mind body connection is AMAZING. And, as we learn how to harness our healing powers, our lives will be transformed. I believe we are all healers we just need to believe and know we are!! We have the ability and gifts to keep our bodies healthy. We can heal our lives.

The next time you catch yourself having negative thoughts about your health, stop and affirm the positive experiences you want to happen. If you feel like you are getting sick, go into meditation, relax, breathe, and picture yourself perfectly healthy! Trust me this stuff works! :)

I know I want to enjoy this beautiful healthy body of mine for as long as possible and I expect the best! :)
