As a kid, you probably have fallen and scraped your knee and started crying for your mom, asking her to put a bandaid on it to make it feel a little better. We all have done something like this, right?
Well, what if I told you that the band aid itself does not actually heal the wound, but rather your body heals itself. Our bodies are magical, and what’s wild about them is that when you scrape your knee the body knows to clot the blood right where the wound is to then create a scab. Just like when we suffer from a cold, our bodies create antibodies to attack the foreign invader. Our bodies healing on their own is just the tip of the iceberg and our bodies are capable of healing much more than just the physical pain, all with the help of our mindset.
The documentary called Heal explains this perfectly, which can be found on Amazon prime (I strongly recommend watching it because they explain this much better than I do). Anyways I digress, the documentary basically talks about many levels of physical distress that different individuals experience. From the extreme of cancer, to a run of the mill migraine, when faced with a physical ailment the body can indeed get rid of, or heal the infected area with the correct mindset or positive thought pattern.
Now, when I first heard about this I was a little skeptical to be quite honest. Up until my body gave me the opportunity to test it out. I experienced it first hand once I allowed myself to. First, it started with a little ear ache, then a small aura in my vision, to gum inflammation, then to top it all off, a flickering headache that would turn on and off for about 3 days. So, like any normal person would, I got it checked out by a doctor, and like any doctor would say “drink more water and take tylenol.” Okie dokie brb lemme just keep doing what I have already been doing for the past 3+ days.
I sat with myself with frustration and remembered a conversation I had with a mentor and realized I brought this upon myself through the thought patterns I had been having and not being aligned with my higher self. I was thinking thoughts that vibrated with a lower frequency like “I look awful” or “I’m not getting what I want” and focused so much of my attention on the pain in my head. Also, I just wasn’t giving my being the proper attention it needs to feel good like eating whole foods, mediating, journaling, and moving my body.
When you focus your attention on what you do not want you get more of the same. The universe doesn’t know what “no” or “not” means so when you’re focused on something like “not wanting to be in pain” the universe only sees the “wanting to be in pain” and will give you more of the same. To give you a better understanding of what I am trying to get across, it’s like someone telling you to not look down and you automatically look down. The same concept applies here. So when you have these thoughts flip it into something that vibrates in a positive way like “I want to feel relaxed and light” in said area and then you’ll get more of the same. This can work for anything, not just your body but with the things you want, (but that is a topic for another day).
Once I flipped my attention to feeling better, feeling refreshed in my head, my gums healing and meditating, all the symptoms I was experiencing went away. Your mindset and the way you think truly does have a great affect on your physical self. You must exist beyond those negative thoughts and dig a little deeper into something more meaningful and aligned with your true self. Try it the next time you have an ache or pain and see what happens.
