Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death..
In these days we hear so much about
crime in Mexico.
Voices get louder that the drug actions have reached already our area. Are we
going to be afraid of living here? Are we to be afraid that our peaceful
paradise will soon be not so peaceful anymore? What else are we to fear?
Illnesses, accidents, robberies? Just how much do fears and worries affect your
life and well being?
Psycho - Neuro- Immunology has
proven that fear reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and the
activity of the self regulatory mechanisms within us. When we know that having
fears and worries is not good for us, how then is this knowledge transformed
into our daily practice?
Life in itself is a risk. The
Psychotherapist Verena Kast analyzes and interprets fairy tales and one of her
works is about “Having faith in your own destiny”. In her work she
explains how fairy tales show over again how beneficial it is, to take risks
and challenges, because it contributes to the vitality of life.
In our society we have the tendency to
create nets of security, we are so susceptible to dreadful thoughts and we are
trying to exclude risk as much as possible. But we have to know, absolute
security is not possible and by living
in fear we very often limit aspects of ourselves, opportunities and vitality
that could enrich our lives.
If we want to live life to the
fullest, if we really want to live our purpose, we should accept or even welcome challenges and risks –
always according to our possibilities and life circumstances. We have to have
faith and trust in our own destiny – about our life, our relationships, and our
health.
Health is moved by faith. Faith can
enable us to elevate ourselves to health and well being.
If we fear disease and think of
ourselves in connection with disease, then this will produce within ourselves
disease. Our thoughts are so powerful, they will eventually manifest in our
physical body. If we have doubts about our safety from disease we will connect
ourselves with disease and create its forms and motions.
The important factor is that we have to
have faith in our thoughts, because the creative power of a thought is given by
the faith that is in it. Thoughts without faith do not create forms. That is a
general principle and works in both ways: health and/or disease.
Faith begins with belief. What do
we have to believe in order to be healthy and to have faith in health?
Generally there is more
health-power than disease-power in both ourselves and our environment. Just
consider the millions of viruses and bacteria, the bugs and insects around us,
the harmful escapades during our life – and how are we today? We are still
living and enjoying a functioning body that overcame and resisted so far, all
of the invaders around us.
There is a Spiritual Intelligence
in all living beings, a life force, that permeates, penetrates and keeps
everything in order and in an harmonious state. This intelligence always exerts
its power toward health (because it is about surviving).
A belief in this is the foundation
for faith in health. It is one belief that health is the natural state of
humanity and that all the power of nature works toward health and can surely be
attained by all.
The power of health in the universe
is many times greater than that of disease – in fact, disease is mostly the
result of being not in balance within ourselves and our environment. Seen from
this aspect, dysfunction of organs or disease is a friendly and wise message to
bring us back into a balanced harmonious state.
Disease provides us a motivation to
correct things, to live our purpose, to forgive ourselves and others. Disease
serves as a motivation to learn and to practice the “hygiene of thoughts” and
to sort out the disease creating belief systems and returning to a state of
having faith in health.
If we believe that health is
possible and when we know exactly what to do in order to attain it, then it is
no longer impossible to have good health. Fear and worries then turn into
curiosity about life itself and that cancels out automatically fear.
Enjoy your life, be grateful and
have faith. Here at Lake
Side you are in the right
area to really live it. I wish all of you a healthy 2011.
