I’ve been pulling together some different material lately,
and while lying in bed with my wife and a couple of my kids
the other morning, I had a couple thoughts I wanted to share
with you. Jotted them down, but didn’t get them on the blog
until today.
Firstly, a good friend just loaned Louise Hay’s wonderful little
I Can Do It
and after listening a bit, Rachelle shared with me a thought
from Louise on health that immediately caught my attention:
Take simple steps to give your cells a “happy, healthy atmosphere”.
Today I want to combine this thought with one we’ve touched on
previously — what’s the single biggest factor that affects
your health?
Hint: it’s got 3 letters…
And it’s not something you take or do…
It’s YOU.
Author Gregg Braden has several books out, including his newest one
The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits
accessible the large amounts of scientific research supporting the idea that our attention — and our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs — physically affect the molecules and space we live in and interact with.
So the biggest factor in your healing is not what supplement you
take or what treatment you engage in…
…but rather…
**YOU**
That’s why you can have someone who’s not “doing everything right” (e.g., nutritionally),
but who’s happy and joyful and taking a few simple steps that give their
cells a “healthy environment” who’s thriving…
…while on the other hand, someone else who IS “doing everything right”
but feeling stressed that “there’s so much to do” and that they might not be
“doing enough”, continues to be ill…
This may not seem “fair” until you realize how things work, and that we all
get to choose every day which path we’ll take — one of struggle and fear,
or one of trust, love, and joy.
So practice taking simple steps to give your cells a “happy, healthy atmosphere” —
Gregg Braden calls these “life-affirming steps” — and then magnify them with
a joyful, grateful attitude.
To your abundant well-being,
Dr. Ben

It’s my observation, that you “e-Docs”are accomplishing more real healing than a large portion of what we civilians are conditioned to think of as “Legitimate Medicine”,and all of the Cancer and aids industry.
I think that calls for an attaboy, so attaboy!!
thank you so much for sharing that — recently you wrote about each breath being so joyful it brought nourishment to your body, or something along those lines, and i have been actually trying to nourish myself with a positive attitude. It all seems to work together, and, like you said, today, be about the choices we make: our attitudes, how we react to others, with whom we spend our time, etc….
I read somewhere that if we practice smiling upon waking by setting a reminder near an alarm clock, it can be beneficial. I do not usually wake to an alarm anymore, i wake to my smiling children, which certainly makes it easier to smile. Remembering that advice, I have been “programming” myself to smile each time i check email. What begins as a forced smile becomes a laugh, a giggle, and then simply remains with me. Do you think the energy created by a smile could help provide a happy healthy atmosphere?
even though i don’t have a weight problem, i do have other issues. this sounds like i might benefit from this.
Thank you each for your comments, and yes, our understanding (or “remembering”) of how we heal is changing rapidly…
Kristin, love the image of awakening to smiling children, and yes, the energy created by a smile absolutely shifts the atmosphere for our cells!
One way to tell is by the way you feel–the more you feel appreciation, love, peace, joy, gratitude, and feelings that are “life-affirming”, the happier and healthier your cells will be!
