I’ve read many books that state that the way you think and what you think affects the quality of your health. It’s very obvious that there are some people who move through life with very little illness and generally great health.

One particular book of note for me has to be “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise L. Hay. In there is a list of likely mental causes of most of our major health problems, concerns and diseases and ways to overcome them.

Now that’s all well and good, but try telling someone you love, or even admit to yourself that your chronic illness is a direct result of your, or their own thinking… Not an easy job.

For each individual, the responsibility lies in the understanding of how their situation has been created by their thoughts, whether intentionally or not, and in the future choices they make. If you come to realise there is some truth in this for you, then it becomes your responsibility to make changes if you desire better health or wellbeing.

For me personally, when I do not feel as healthy as I want to, it indicates to me that my thoughts and body are not in alignment and I can begin to understand myself more deeply. I understand this is a hard concept and for most people, it goes against what they may already believe. Remember this is only a belief in itself, if it holds truth for you then it is true for you, if not then your own beliefs hold your truth.

If you have illness or ill-health, then at the very least your responsibility for your actions and reactions to this state are yours. For a deeper understanding, Louise L Hay’s book is a wonderful place to start.

As always, feedback and comments are welcome and the views expressed are my beliefs and understandings. I respect your views, conflicting or otherwise.
