A psychologist friend of mine told me that one of his
lungs was infected. X rays and analysis showed the presence of
tuberculosis. At night before going to sleep he would quietly
affirm, “Every cell, nerve, tissue, and muscle of my lungs are
now being made whole, pure, and perfect. My whole body is
being restored to health and harmony.”
These are not his exact words, but they represent the
essence of what he affirmed. A complete healing followed in
about a month’s time. Subsequent X rays showed a perfect
healing. I wanted to know his method, so I asked him why
he repeated the words prior to sleep. Here is his reply, “The kinetic action of the subconscious mind continues throughout
your sleep-time period. Hence, give the subconscious mind
something good to work on as you drop off into slumber.”
This was a very wise answer. In thinking of harmony and
perfect health, he never mentioned his trouble by name.
I strongly suggest that you cease talking about your
ailments or giving them a name. The only sap from which they
draw life is your attention and fear of them. Like the above
mentioned psychologist, become a mental surgeon. Then your
troubles will be cut off like dead branches are pruned from a
tree.
If you are constantly naming your aches and symptoms,
you inhibit the kinetic action, which means the release of the
healing power and energy of your subconscious mind.
Furthermore, by the law of your own mind, these
imaginings tend to take shape, As the thing I greatly feared. Fill
your mind with the great truths of life and walk forward in the
light of love.
