Think Your Way To Good Health

The concept that thinking in a healthy manner will assist a person to have a healthier physiology is not a new one. Far from it; it is at the heart of ancient traditions. Our bodies mirror the sum total of our thoughts and experiences as well as our genetic inheritance.

I was reminded of this fact the other day when I was chatting with an experienced masseuse therapist. We were discussing the prevalence of back issues in the modern day world, many of which are connected with sitting too long in a bad or inappropriate postural position.

Patients will turn up for an appointment desperately searching for a fast cure for their back issues. They want a fix and they want it fast. Few of them are as willing to examine the why part of their problems. They might think that they are willing but underneath the surface they perhaps have ambivalent feelings regarding this whole issue.

What do I mean by ambivalence? They might perhaps think that there is nothing they can do to change their posture. They might not want to stop doing something that has been putting stress upon their body. They might not be willing to spend the time performing compensatory exercises and stretches. They might not wish to compensate that doing something they love doing is what is causing their problems.

The tendency when a person is willing to look at issues of causation is to ask what one specific thing brought this issue about. As this particular masseuse therapist pointed out, it is highly unlikely or almost impossible for there to be one single cause.

A combination of things will have all contributed to the current physical discomfort. He was actually talking more in terms of purely physical causes, such as a combination of bad posture when working at the computer or playing golf without stretching first.

This made me ponder upon the fact that people are even less likely to seek to see if their might be causes in terms of thought and attitude. And what mental changes could be set in motion to assist in a more flexible physiological experience?

Your mind and body are inevitably linked. Mental processes have an unavoidable effect upon your body just as powerfully as physical pain has a knock on effect upon your mental state and emotional equilibrium. You hear people say, "This pain is grinding me down", yet you rarely hear people commenting that their attitude is having any impact upon their physical health.

It is worth thinking about this interaction between mind and body and seeing what you can do to help create your best health possible, to see how you can use your mind to heal your body. There are several ways in which you can do this. One of the most powerful is to employ self hypnosis.

Quit Smoking - How Self Hypnosis Can Help You Think Like A Non-Smoker

The great author Mark Twain summed it all up nicely when he uttered the immortal line "To quit smoking is easy, I've done it a thousand times!" And for those of you who have tried to quit and failed you know exactly what he meant. You also know that to quit smoking is not easy it's hard!

Then there are the withdrawal symptoms as well as the craving for a cigarette - headaches, feelings of nausea, bowel problems, nose dripping, and putting on weight are just some of the symptoms you can suffer when you try to stop smoking.
And if you do succeed in quitting the urge for a cigarette is still there, always nagging away at you just waiting for something to get you back on the cigarettes again. Wouldn't it be great if you could just stop smoking and feel and think like a person who has never touched a cigarette in their lives? Well you could you know, it is possible, and this article is going to tell you how.

Lighting a cigarette, holding it, inhaling the smoke and exhaling slowly can give you a wonderful feeling of relaxation. Well, there is another way you can get that feeling of relaxation and that is through practicing Self Hypnosis.

Now the word hypnosis to a good many people means the showman they have seen on the TV making people do stupid things like imagining they are dogs or something. That kind of stuff is pure entertainment nothing more. True hypnosis either practiced on a person by a qualified hypnotherapist , or at home by yourself, is a wonderful therapeutic method of achieving a state of very deep relaxation.

To reach this state, which is known as a trance, all you need to do is follow some very simple steps. Then when you are in this state you can start working on your subconscious mind which actually controls all of your bodily functions. But one very important point to remember is this - your subconscious mind, although it runs your body, cannot think for itself! What that means is it will accept anything you tell it, if you tell it often enough.

Think about it, you originally convinced your subconscious mind that your body couldn't function properly without a cigarette. So now all you have to do is convince it that it can. And the way you work on your subconscious is through visualization. You visualize what it would feel like to be a non smoker, to actually hate the smell of cigarettes to feel sick at the thought of smoking.

If you really and truly want to quit your subconscious mind will program your body so that you won't suffer any nasty withdrawal symptoms. But...here's the most important thing, you don't stop smoking while you're hypnotizing yourself! You wait until your subconscious mind tells you that you are ready to quit smoking for good.

Now you may think that all this sounds absolute garbage but it won't cost you a cent to try...download a free MP3 here Quit Smoking for Ever and learn the steps you need to take to hypnotize yourself and quit smoking for ever.
