Mindfulness Mondays 4: Healing

June 22, 2009 by dr. lam

healing-hands-hand I am really enjoying Wayne Dyer’s Excuses Begone! book and audio-presentation, which will be a blog series in a couple of months. I really like the idea of programming your own biology toward what we want to be rather than what we see as a limitation. He talks specifically about a sham operation performed in arthritic patients that led to the same healing capacity in these individuals as for those who actually underwent a legitimate operation. People with canes started to walk without canes simply because they believed that they were healed. Many times we are given a diagnosis: cancer, heart disease, back pain, sickness, and we simply program our body toward that end. He talks about a guy that he encountered on a treadmill who was sniffling and Dyer asked him, “How long have you been sick for?” The man responded, “In 3 weeks, it will have been a month.” That is negative programming. Dyer cites the book, Biology of Belief, that exemplifies how we actually can program our DNA the way we want by creating the right belief system. He mentions he was listening to the nightly news and Brokaw at the time said, “Stay tuned, in a few minutes, we will list the things to look out for as early signs for Alzheimer’s.” He thought, “Why the heck do I want to hear the list of things that will program my mind toward a negative belief?”

In short, this week, program your mind toward healing whether that be physical or mental. He clarifies that the law of attraction (a la Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret) does not say that we will attract those things that we want but those things that are like us already. We need to not only want it but be that. So it is not enough to just want healing but to feel the healing spirit throughout and through you already. If you are in the path toward healing, do not indulge sickness. Focus your mind on where you should be and be there now. Be healed. Reprogram your biology. Program healing. We will discuss more about Dyer’s new ideas in the coming months.

For all of you blog devotees, waiting for a new blog and website, my web crew and I are diligently working to make that a reality. Hopefully, any day now. Even with the new design, there will be a ton of tweaks so please have patience, especially the blog design because I have not even gone through a first edit on the blog design as I have been focused entirely on the web design overall.
