This SLOWER Network message is the third in a series of three messages about how our thoughts work at a quantum level and can have the most powerful impact on our good health, weight loss, stress reduction and much more. To read the last two messages on this subject go to here and here.
Health has three foundations, exercise, nutrition and attitude (or consciousness). Each plays on the other reinforcing the next into an upwards (or downward) spiral. Eat well and you feel like getting up and moving about. Do this and you begin to have a better attitude which makes you want to eat better and so forth, etc. and on and on.
But the controller of all this is consciousness. The attitude and desire to be healthy, the belief that we are healthy or are going to be is the key that makes everything else work.
"Where does this attitude come from?" The answer we have been looking at are the quantum aspects of life. Our beliefs at the deepest energetic levels of existence create our being.
The book "Healer, Shaman and Sage" shows that many indigenous cultures recognize this. They view themselves as energetic beings that have created a physical form. This is compared to the Western philosophy that we are physical forms with an energetic portion. (Quantum science seems to support this indigenous view.)
In Western medicine we have a concept of testing our form to look for illness (which we then give names to). We have devised a series of tests each that gives us a clue that some physical imbalance might exist, such as a mammogram, PSA etc.
If these quantum ideas are real, people with temporary imbalances spotted in such a test can, by turning attention to the imbalance, cement the problem and cause it to become permanent and real.
Some cultures believe that all illnesses are energetic imbalances and as energetic beings we have energy from the cosmic consciousness (call it the quantum field, Godhead or whatever). They believe this is a source of universal energy and that we can at any time balance these imbalances.
Another way of looking at this is as a different form of digestion. The process we call life is a continual blending of all types of energy (or differing frequencies) through the food we eat, water we drink, air we breathe, sights we see, sounds we hear, stimulation we feel, smells we snort, etc. The energy we pick up at the quantum level is through our chakras (there are seven main charkas and these chakras process this energy through specific points of the spinal column (hence why chiropractors work). Each of these specific points of the spinal column is connected to an organ or gland.
By looking at clues about the balance of these charkas we can see the balance of each organ. For example what the doctors called Leukemia is an imbalance in the spleen and blood. By rebalancing these elements, the symptoms and manifestation can be dramatically reduced or even go away.
This is not to say we should abandon Western medicine. Many parts of it work very well (though a leading cause of death in the industrialized world today is incorrect or excessive prescriptions). But we can enhance our health and well being by understanding the energetic aspect of our being, the chakras and how they balance the system.
Some would call this the power of meditation or prayer. Whatever the name, our most profound levels of existence rely on faith. In quantum mechanical terms faith (our beliefs, our attention, intention, attitudes etc.) are the keys to life.
We can enjoy a brighter, better, happier world or we can climb down into a rut and begin to die. The choice is ours and the entire decision is determined by one thing, our attitude or thought. We can feel old, used up, unable to cope, lost or stressed and out of control? Or we can look at the day and tomorrow and all of the unexpected with a sense of wonder, anticipation and excitement.
This choice has much, much more to do with your health than the number of years you have been on this planet.
The foundations of our health are nutrition, exercise and our attitude. The foundations of a successful life are hard work, the willingness to serve and attitude and the roots of our attitude are in the energy around us. As in all things there are positive and negative aspects to this energy. We are free to choose which to use. Nothing may be as important to our health as having positive beliefs and thoughts!
