Have You Checked Your Blood
Pressure Lately?
I know that’s a strange title for a
newsletter article. But those of you who’ve been with us a while
know I can come up with even stranger titles than that one.
Last week I was at a meeting of a community service organization
I belong to. One of our speakers gave a short talk on health. The
first thing he said was "Have you checked your blood pressure
lately?" Hence the title of this article.
The speaker launched into his talk with a brief history of his
personal physical health. Several years ago he’d been monitoring
his blood pressure every day. One day the reading skyrocketed. He
just knew something had gone wrong. He was obviously
expecting something to go wrong or he would not have been checking
his blood pressure every single day.
He went to his doctor who also knew, before seeing his
patient, something had gone wrong. The doctor, expecting in
advance to find something seriously wrong, did -- a malignant tumor
on one kidney.
Patient and doctor agreed the whole kidney should be surgically
removed. They were expecting the worst and hoping desperately
nothing else would go wrong.
But it did.
The patient had a stroke while recovering from his kidney
surgery.
Do you see a pattern emerging here?
Now, about two years later, our speaker-patient is recovering
well from the surgery and stroke. His health "disasters"
were truly opportunities for growth and greater insight into
himself.
This is a charismatically compassionate, caring man, a powerful
man. Someone you could not help being drawn to. But also a man once
filled with fear.
P.S. I was recently reminded we’ve done several articles and
podcasts lately on health and illness, death and dying. We’ll move
on to something cheerier next week.
Here’s Chief Joseph.
Chief Joseph
You get what you look for, what you focus on, what you expect,
and mostly what you fear.
In fact, you usually get anything you have a strong emotion
about, whether the emotion is positive or negative. For many of you,
especially in your modern world, negative emotions like fear are
more powerful than positive emotions.
But Law of Attraction works faultlessly. So whatever you’re
drawing into your lives is there because you gave it a lot of
attention, positive or negative.
Most of you have been brainwashed into believing your bodies must
deteriorate and become sick as you move through the years. That’s
what you expect. That’s what you fear. So that’s
what you get.
It does not have to be that way. In fact, your bodies’
natural state is that of balance and well-being, from birth to death
-- whether death comes at 10 years or 100 years.
Your bodies know how to take care of themselves. They know they
can heal themselves, even instantly, of any dis-eases, no matter how
minor or major.
Most of you have completely recovered from so-called
"terminal" illnesses without even knowing you had them.
That’s because you did not get in your bodies’ way. You couldn’t
because you had no conscious knowledge of what was happening.
But if you constantly monitor your bodies from a place of fear,
as John’s guest speaker did, you’re probably going to find
something "wrong" sooner or later.
Why?
Because most of the time you’re looking for, expecting
something wrong. You thereby interfere with your bodies’ natural
talent for balancing and re-balancing themselves, for always
returning to a state of perfect health.
By the same token, when you go to a doctor for a checkup, you and
the doctor are often coming from a place of fear, fear of something
gone wrong. Eventually you’ll find something wrong.
If you must go to doctors, find one who is wanting to find
something right with your bodies. Someone who does not
instill fear and dread into you. And go to him or her with a sense
of joy and positive expectation.
Look only for the positives in your lives, not for what can go
wrong. Appreciate all the good you have, appreciate and love your
bodies. Know they can heal themselves far better than you or
your doctor can.
Instead of fearing the worst, expect the best. But either way,
you’ll create whatever you focus on mostly and feel most strongly
about. You are all that powerful.
So use your creative power to create the life you want.
