Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of “Evolve Your Brain” spent several years studying spontaneous remission in people who were diagnosed with terminal illness. As he interviewed these hundreds of people, he found there are four commonalities they shared. First, all of them accepted that there was a greater mind giving them life. That this greater mind is within each of them. Second, they all said: “My thoughts and reactions to my life created and caused the conditions of my dis-ease.” They took full responsibility for their situation and illness. Third, they all began to think in new ways. They began to allow their body and mind to work together. Each person realized that who we are is what we mentally think and act. Our body and mind are a finite set.
Finally, they had long moments where they were not in time and space. As they got out of linear thinking, they found that their brain began to evolve in new ways. It is proven that sickness tends to put our minds into our body. As they each devoted long times to being in a place of no time and space, they began to bring their minds back into the brain. This was achieved through meditation, relaxation, listening to classical music, or to the sounds of nature. Through creativity they moved into a time when they could forget about the self, into a state of nothingness.
Another way to shift from linear thinking is with gratitude. The very same neuro chemicals are emitted by the brain when we are in a state of gratitude as those produced when we are feeling and thinking happiness, love, being excited and positive.
Regular daily expressions of gratitude are essential to our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. Based upon the scientific research Dr. Dispenza speaks of, gratitude is a leading technique of healing. And it’s so easy!
I urge you to make a commitment to yourself, and your health, to recognize things in your life that you are grateful for each day. In a journal or small notebook, write down at least three things you are grateful for. I personally find the best time to do this is in the evening before I go to bed. It is a relaxing, peaceful way to embrace the night. Rather than ruminating on all the things that were wrong with the day, we focus on what went right. And it is healing too.
“With each blink of my eye
I give thanks that I can see.
With each step that I take
I give thanks that I can walk.
With each beat of my heart
I give thanks that I can love.
With each note of music
I give thanks that I can hear.
Each time I reach out with my arms open wide
To cuddle a baby, pick a flower, enfold a friend
I give thanks for my life.”
