Minding the body

"The subconscious mind is strictly habitual; it will play the same behavioral responses to life's signals over and over again, much to our chagrin." ~ Bruce Lipton, 'Biology of Belief'
There is a now known and well documented link between the mind and the body that has dispelled Descartes belief in separateness. But even when we know the two are linked, what level do we take that to?

Louise L. Hay took her experience and training from Science of Mind and further developed the mind/body connection in her first book, 'Heal Your Body'. She went on to write 'You Can Heal Your Life', taking those observations and theories many steps further into personal growth and self love.  Knowing all this, the first place I went when I broke my thumb was to Louise's mental connections to physical experience because I know that we live a conscious creative life in which there are no such things as accidents.
Thumb: Represents intellect and worry.
Broken/Fractured bones: Rebelling against authority.

Upon meditating with this information I recognised that I am feeling 'controlled' and 'cornered' into taking action that I don't really want to take. I am perceiving an authority beyond myself that is 'making' me do what I have actually chosen to do with free will and compassion. It was interesting to me that on a subconscious level I was reacting with the same old behaviour that I did when I was a child in the face of perceived authority. Having this awareness gives me an opportunity to come into alignment with my truth and allows me to release fear and subconscious belief.

When things happen to your body, be they 'accidents' or diagnosis of disease, we have a chance to carry on regardless or take a look at what is really going on for us at a far deeper level. As always we are at choice. I have always found that the occasions where I haven't wanted to look have, the situation has got worse until I have been forced to take more drastic action. These day's I always look for the mental cause that is creating subconsciously in my life because in the long run it makes the journey easier.

Your body can guide you to your highest good and greatest yet to be if you would just let it. What gift is your body bringing you today?

Affirmation
I listen carefully to the whisperings of my body, knowing that I am always guided for my highest and greatest good. My body is vibrant, vital and alive. It continues to be healed, whole and fully healthy even in the face of accidents and diagnosis. All is well and I am grateful.

In Love
