How your thoughts subconsciously control your health

June 7, 2009

(Hi Group, with todays advancements in energy and energy psychology, how would

you update the following VERY IMPORTANT paradigm? John La Tourrette, PhD)

Every thought, idea or emotion produces a physical reaction and every physical

response produces an emotional reaction.

The mind/body relationship is responsible for this rule. You cannot think

without a physical response! It is impossible. Think of having a cigarette and

the body will kick out the chemicals to anticipate a nicotine hit. Think of

being calm and relaxed as a positive non-smoker, and the body will kick out the

chemicals to bring about the calming effect. Many scientists believe that

muscular movements are an integral part of the thought process. For example,

whenever we think of a word, our vocal muscles react and become part of the

thought. To convince yourself of this phenomenon, try the following exercise:

Holding your mouth wide open, try to think the word " bubble. " Upon first trying

this you may find it very difficult to think the word, or the thought may at

first seem slurred, as though you were attempting to pronounce the word aloud

with your mouth held open.

Thoughts and ideas with strong emotional content produce physical responses in

the body characteristic of the emotion. Anger and fear thoughts stimulate the

adrenal glands that in turn affect the activity of most body functions. Recent

studies have shown that the body's natural resistance to disease is affected by

one's thoughts and emotions.

In order to adapt successfully to the stresses of life and eliminate or change

chronic negative physical reactions, we must first learn to change our habitual

thought processes. This change HAS to be done at the unconscious level! We must

learn to accept situations positively. We must learn to change fixed negative

ideas into strong positive attitudes. This can be done with autosuggestion and

self- hypnosis.
