Sometimes we need to get sick in order to process something or move something through our body. But often we get sick or feel exhausted because we don’t make the effort to galvanize the power of our minds in the service of our physical health, which is one of its most important functions. We really can use it to communicate to our body, yet we often regard the two as separate entities that have little to do with one another.
Knowing this, we have the power to create physical health and mental
health, simply by paying attention to the tapes running in our minds.
Once we hear ourselves, we have the option to let that tape keep running
or to make a new recording. When we choose supportive, healing words
that foster good health and high spirits, we harness the power of the
mind in our defense. All we need to do is to tend to the field of our
mind with the attentive and loving hand of a master gardener taking care
of their flower beds by culling out the weeds so that the blossoms may
come to fruition. (Daily OM)
