A Protestant minister I knew in Johannesburg, South
Africa, told me the method he used to convey the idea of
perfect health to his subconscious mind. He had cancer of
the lung.
His technique, as given to me in his own handwriting, is
exactly as follows: “Several times a day I would make certain
that I was completely relaxed mentally and physically. I relaxed
my body by speaking to it as follows, ‘My feet are relaxed,
my ankles are relaxed, my legs are relaxed, my abdominal
muscles are relaxed, my heart and lungs are relaxed, my head
is relaxed, my whole being is completely relaxed.’ After about
five minutes I would be in a sleepy drowsy state, and then I
affirmed the following truth, ‘The perfection of God is now
being expressed through me. The idea of perfect health is now
filling my subconscious mind. The image God has of me is a
perfect image, and my subconscious mind recreates my body
in perfect accordance with the perfect image held in the mind
of God.”” This minister had a remarkable healing. This is a
simple easy way of conveying the idea of perfect health to
your subconscious mind. Another wonderful way to convey the idea of health to your
sy bconscious is through disciplined or scientific imagination.
told a man who was suffering from functional paralysis to
make a vivid picture of himself walking around in his office,
touching the desk, answering the telephone, and doing all the
things he ordinarily would do if he were healed.
I explained to him that this idea and mental picture of
perfect health would be accepted by his subconscious mind.
He lived the role and actually felt himself back in the office.
He knew that he was giving his subconscious mind
something definite to work upon.
His subconscious mind was the film upon which the
picture was impressed. One day, after several weeks of
frequent conditioning of the mind with this mental picture,
the telephone rang by prearrangement and kept ringing while
his wife and nurse were out.
The telephone was about twelve feet away, but
nevertheless he managed to answer it. He was healed at that
hour. The healing power of his subconscious mind responded
to his mental imagery, and a healing followed. This man had
a mental block, which prevented impulses from the brain
reaching his legs; therefore, he said he could not walk. When
he shifted his attention to the healing power within him, the
power flowed through his focused attention, enabling him
to walk.
Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
MATTHEW 21:22.
