The Law of Attraction is ALWAYS operating in our world (and everyone’s world) whether we’re aware of it or not. What we focus on is what comes in to our lives. And what we HAVE FOCUSED on in the past comes into our lives too. Instead of the saying “you are what you eat”, we should accurately substitute

You are what you THOUGHT!

We often either neglect the effect of emotions, feelings and vibrations on our well being or we tend to think the Law of Attraction only applies to certain aspects of our life, such as “abundance” or “prosperity”. Naysayers of the Law of Attraction say that it’s wrong to focus on money and wealth, interpreting that this is the meaning of prosperity and abundance. But both prosperity and abundance include all aspects of well being, NOT just money. Abundance can refer to health, wealth, peace of mind, love, relationships, any part of your life. Same goes for prosperity.

Thus, it stands to reason that your health can be definitely impacted by what you’ve been thinking. This can be in the form of stress about your job, stress about your financial situation, or it can take the shape of worrying about contracting a certain disease or illness.

Many people, however, do not want to hear that they may be the cause of their condition. After all, that would then mean “it’s all in your head” and no one wants to believe this. But let me talk to about the difference. Psychosomatic illness is a phrase that people cringe at when someone utters it. But it’s so applicable to every single disease of condition you have. What it means is that your body (somatic) responds to your thoughts (psycho-).  This has been proven and it makes sense to anyone who understands the Universal Laws, including the Law of Attraction.

So, to me, it’s logical that Law of Attraction questions SHOULD be a part of the history and physical and discussion that your physician takes when you come to his office. A couple of weeks ago I had to complete a new patient questionnaire and it contained 135 questions. Not ONE of them had anything to do with how I was feeling, what I was worried or stressed about, what I had been thinking of for the few weeks before going to see someone. All of these are pertinent to figuring out what is wrong with the patient as much as all the lab tests they do.

Why are these questions and concepts so important? Your doctor can prescribe you tons of medicines and get many tests but if he or she doesn’t dig deep into what’s behind your symptoms, they will continue even if they are toned down by the medicines. This means it’s liable to return once this exacerbation is “cured”. If you don’t get the splinter out of the foot, it will continue to fester and hurt no matter how much you drain it.

There are also other considerations – what is the “up side” of having something wrong with you? You need to answer that and your doctor should pursue that too. If it’s not identified, then the condition is likely to persist. I have told this story before but it bears repeating. When I was an intern, I dreaded going on my pediatric rotation because I didn’t like kids. I had thought about how much I disliked kids and didn’t want to do the rotation for a long, long time. Interestingly, the week before I was due to rotate onto pediatrics I started getting sick. I was never sick. But, believe it or not, I had developed pneumonia – showed up on the x-ray big as life. As such, I was excused from the first 7-10 days of my rotation. Did I know that was why I got sick then? Heck no, and this was not a well known topic at that time either. It wasn’t until many years later that I realized what I had done. And yes, I did it to myself. I caused myself to get pneumonia. I know there are many other times this has happened as well but none so obvious as that example.

Some of us are prone to accidents and musculoskeletal injuries. These folks are often having too much going on in their lives and they want to be immobilized and prevented from moving forward. The best way for that to occur is for your muscles, bones and joints to be affected.

Often people who develop serious illnesses such as cardiac disease or even cancer have a long history of being concerned about getting it especially if it runs in their families. They feel it’s inevitable and that puts their vibrations right there to attract that to you. None of this is intentional and no one should either rebel at this theory or kick themselves saying they should have been able to prevent it. It’s a philosophy that is coming more into acceptance as the days and months go by.  There are so many programs that involve alternative or complimentary medicine and energy medicine, all of which should be incorporated in your armamentarium for conquering illness and injury.

It’s my thought that a physician should be able to discuss this with their patients and try to get to the root of everything. But, from personal experience, I know that patients get upset if they hear things they don’t want to hear about. There lies the dilemma. These are also the same people who will complain about their doctor not paying enough attention to them. If a doctor is afraid of the repercussions from addressing these issues, why should they bother in this litigation minded populace. It appears that it’s going to be the patients job to work on finding out what’s going on inside of them and being as honest with themselves as they can be.

Look inside whenever you develop any symptoms. What’s going on in your life? What are you concerned about? What has been going on in your family or at work? What are your beliefs? Ask yourself the hard questions and then be honest with the answers.

The post Should Your Doctor Talk To You About The Law Of Attraction At Your Next Visit? first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa Marie Keller  and  was so excited to talk with her about her personal achievement in overcoming chronic fatigue and exhaustion (since the age of 14) and to listen to the various modalities she uses with people to guide them in their own accomplishments. It’s just another example of how the Law of Attraction works. Everything she talked about, except for one thing, I have have heard of and completely embrace – even from a medical standpoint! That’s amazing.

I encourage anyone who’s experiencing problems with chronic fatigue and exhaustion (or if you know someone who is) to listen to this interview and get a glimpse of how Lisa can help you.

She takes a very personal approach and works with people on an individual basis, tailoring plans and programs to your own needs – there is no “one fix for everything” as we medical folks frequently do – we try to fit everything into one box and if it doesn’t fit, then we don’t know what to do. But Lisa knows what to do. She is the perfect example of what I like to call Integrative Medicine – a combination of traditional and alternative medicine (to me, medicine is medicine and there really isn’t an alternative – what matters is what works without causing further harm).

She is truly amazing because she has many certifications and that knowledge is all incorporated into her plans for folks – most people who have these certifications specialize so that you have to find many providers (I’m talking about things like EFT, body work etc, not medical providers) but Lisa has leading edge certifications and is willing to work with you using all of them – whatever is right for you at the moment. She’s able to adjust as you adjust. Her own personal experience has helped her weed out what doesn’t work and concentrate on what does.

This was one of the very best interviews I’ve ever done and I highly recommend you listen and then visit Lisa’s website to see more about her programs!

So, do you believe in psychosomatic illness?

I do and I will tell you why……

There are many definitions of “psychosomatic” but the origin is from  
–  “psyche” – of the mind
–  “soma” – of the body

Here’s two definitions:
   1. Of or relating to a disorder having physical symptoms but originating from mental or emotional causes.
   2. Relating to or concerned with the influence of the mind on the body, especially with respect to disease.

Even way back in history people knew of the existence of diseases caused by (or influenced by) the mind.

As most of you know, I am a physician.

I had never heard of psychosomatic illness during my internship. We didn’t really study that in medical school (shame on us).

One of my month’s rotations was going to be on pediatrics. I was not fond of children at all (that’s putting it mildly). I also had been very healthy all my life. Well, all of a sudden I got a sinus infection (definitely unheard of in my life). Then the next thing you know I got pneumonia. How could I possibly be so sick? I wondered. I was so sick that I missed the first week of my pediatric rotation.

You know that expression “you can’t see the forest for the trees”. Well, that’s what happened to me. If you’ve ever heard about internships, there is no time to think at all. So, I just worked very hard at getting better so I didn’t get set back in my internship.

About 2 years later after I was “more” experienced and had begun to be exposed to metaphysics (although I didn’t really know it then), I realized that I created that pneumonia to avoid having to be on the pediatric rotation. I missed a week and that was pretty darn good.

I also know I had pneumonia another time (even though I can’t remember the exact specifics) which was definitely something I brought on myself. So, I took time to examine these two episodes and immediately realized how powerful the mind is.

Many patients I have come across or been involved with have resisted looking at any possible connection between their illnesses and their mind. It’s hard for me to understand and it’s even harder to try to treat someone with that resistance.

  In this day of instant gratification, we just “have to have” a cure right now. And when you have to look at the mind and emotional aspects of you and your illness, that takes much longer to treat than just “taking a bunch of pills”. But then I find it humorous because people complain about the cost of medicine and the bad effects of the medications – but these same people never want to look within themselves to find out what’s going on.

There is ALWAYS a connection between the mind and emotions and the body.

Take the time to be open to that idea and you’ll see so much more about yourself as soon as you open that door.

We’ll talk much more about this as the days and weeks go by.

 See you on the “Medicine & Metaphysics” teleseminar tonight!

The post Do You Believe in Psychosomatic Illness? first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

This is from Donald Curtis “Human Problems and How to Solve Them”. It leads right into our teleseminar tomorrow on “Medicine & Metaphysics”.

1. Sleep every chance you get. Learn from your pets. When they have nothing to do they sleep. Thus, they are ready for anything because they are fresh and rested. Take “cat naps” several times during the day. The natural healing  forces of life take over when you go to sleep and stop resisting them. Find out how much sleep you need and make sure you get it.

2. Hang onto your temper. Anger destroys. Control your feelings.  Emotional outbursts are destructive. Forgive yourself. Get rid of resentment.

3. Never worry. You will never be confronted with a situation you are not capable of handling. Worry is bondage to the past or future. Forget the past. Plan for the future but don’t worry about it.

4. Learn to laugh.  Get happy inside and let the laughter come out of you. Why live unless you can have a good time doing it.

5. Organize your time and always give your best.  Stop running around in circles. Decide what you are going to do, set aside time for it, then go ahead and do it. Use your time constructively.

6. Eliminate harmful habits. This means all of them – mental, emotional and physical. They include sins of omission as well as commission.

7. Eat sensibly. Use moderation. Help your body maintain itself by finding out what it needs, then provide it in sensible quantity and with good quality.

8. Exercise regularly. Your body is meant to be used, so use it. You’ll feel better when you do. Get rid of your inner aggressions by finding some intensive physical exercise.

9. Love people. Get to know people. No one can live without love. We all have more love inside of us than we’ll ever use. The more love we give, the more returns to us. Understanding, interest, compassion, and empathy all produce health. Talk to people, encourage them. Give yourself to them. Help them.

10. Learn to pray.Prayer is affirmation. Prayer connects you with the source of life.  Prayer is participation in the creative process. Prayer is renewal. Prayer stimulates the flow of life through us.

Remember to tune into our teleseminar tomorrow at 6 PM central time.

The post 10 Commandments of Health first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

Since we’ve posted or done a teleseminar. There are various reasons for this. But the lesson to be learned is that you really do have to listen to your body.

If you just happen to be stubborn like me (couldn’t have guessed that I’ll bet), it will take a big knock down drag out fight with your body to get you to pay attention to the things you’ve been ignoring.

Before Veteran’s day (maybe that was appropriate too), I had been pushing everything too hard. That doesn’t mean I was doing too much, it means I was doing what I was doing way too hard. I wasn’t even practicing what we preach.

Stress is the biggest cause of ill-health in the world. Just accept that. And if you’re ill, you have stress somewhere in your life whether you know it or think it or not. The sooner you begin to look for that stress, identify it, and then do something about it, the better you’ll be. And you want to do that before you get sick.

Anne and I have looked at what we want to do class wise next year and we’re moving up to bigger and better things. We want to develop a membership site, and courses that are filled with content, lessons, assignments and question-answer time with Anne (both on the phone and by email). As you know, Anne has been teaching New Thought for over 32 years and teaches it like no one else in the world. This knowledge is expensive. We have figured a fee base that is fair to all parties – the students and Anne – believe me, I know this from experience – if you pay for something, you are much more likely to put it into practice or use! You must also consider that Getting Unstuck, LLC is a business and as a business we have to practice what we preach.

So, stay tuned for more information.
