How To Navigate the “Sea” of Natural Health Information…(or How to Feel Better Today…Even Without Knowing “All the Answers”)

Today I’ve prepared a special 2-part video for you triggered by the following question:

“In my Quest for good health, my biggest concern is the different answers you get when you only need a accurate answer, believe me when I say it can be a large difference, example, the research I have done on coral calcium, 1000mg per day with 1/2 that amount in magnesium and about 750 IUs of vitamin D, There are some that say 1000mg of calcium is too much, others say more 1200 and 1500 mgs of magnesium, no mention of vitamin D, just a sample…”

Now whether or not you have a question about calcium, in the following 2-part video I’m going to give you a great free resource you can access online that’s like having your own online natural health encyclopedia, and then I’m also going to give you some key guidelines for navigating the sea of health information in a way that’s simple yet powerfully effective.

So enjoy, and leave your comments, questions, and feedback below!  (Be sure to scroll down and watch both part A and Part B–they’re only about 9 minutes each!)

Modeling the Universe

When I wasa at MIT back in the 80’s studying electrical engineering, I discovered the importance of using models.

A model was simply a way of describing something that could give us a useful way of grasping ideas about the universe in which we lived.

And what mattered  most was not so much whether a model was “true”, but whether it was “useful”—in other words, whether the model could be used to make useful decisions and create predictable results.

What does this mean?

Well, if we “pretended” that the universe worked the way a model suggested, and we acted or made decisions based on that model, would we be able to “predict”, based on that model, what would happen next?

For example—no one’s actually seen an electron or electricity, but we have ways of modeling it that give us predictable ways of controlling our experience of light.

Well, in the same way, people have developed models of how the “non-physical”—our own thoughts, beliefs, and emotions and other things we can’t “see”—affect the “physical”—the things we can see and “measure” and experience.

Now some people like to argue over the words someone uses or whether things “really” are the way one model suggests.

I used to do that as well.

But gradually I’ve shifted to looking at whether a given model can give me and others useful and predictable results.

For example, no matter how I may describe gravity, or what “power” I may attribute gravity to, what I would consider a “useful” model would be one that let me know that if I step off a cliff, I’m going to fall, and therefore I can choose ahead of time not to step off that cliff.

Another example might be a model that reliably predicts how I can change my health, or an experience with money, by changing certain recurring beliefs or thought patterns. 

A couple such models that may be “different” than those you grew up with or learned in school are those provided by Robert Anthony and Louise Hay.

Robert Anthony takes quantum physics and applies it to your daily experience of money and of life.  He gives practical “experiments” you can do to “test” the model he gives and experience the results for yourself. 

His home-study course has been a great resource to me and to many, and after tomorrow (Feb. 29th) I’m told it will no longer be available.  But right now you can get it for half price here (and I highly recommend it!).

Louise Hay provides a model of health and of life with specific steps you can apply and “test” for yourself as well.  Her book You Can Heal Your Life (Gift Edition) has many wonderful affirmations and a unique guide linking physical symptoms with common thought patterns, and then new patterns you can anchor to change your experience.  She likens our subconscious mind to a garden and each thought we think to a seed.  What grows or “manifests” in our garden, and ultimately our experience, is determined by the seeds we sow.

Louise is now 80 and has just released You Can Heal Your Life, the Movie.

These are just two examples of “models” that could open doors for you to new experiences of life—particularly in the areas of money and health.

Enjoy, and remember to share your own experiences with using “models” of the universe in the comments below!

Robert Anthony’s “Know How To Be Rich” Course ends Friday

Just a quick heads up that Robert Anthony’s “Know How To Be Rich” Course will no longer be available after Friday, and right now you can grab a copy for half price here.

And here’s a quick message from me on the course:

[audio:https://doctorbenlo.com/audio/RobertAnthony2-27-08.mp3]

This course is something that I’ve listened to over and over again (over a period of years and as recently as this week), and it’s one of the few single resources I can think of that could have a profound impact on your life experience if you apply the “practice” principle described on yesterday’s post.

Grab your own copy here, then let me know your own experiences in the comments below.

All the best to you!

What Do You Want to Change?

Today I have several questions for you:

What do you want to be different in your life or your
health this year?

What do you want to change?

Are you willing to change?

Recently I heard an interview of a remarkable gentleman
named Jett, and a particular phrase leaped out at me:

If you want things to change, you have to change!

As I coach people, I have discovered two major areas that
keep people from making the changes in their health that
they desire: 

The first is not knowing what to do, and in
many cases this appears as being overwhelmed with
information without the wisdom or discernment to know how
to apply it in a useful framework;

and the second—many have some
idea of what would make a difference, but fail to take the
steps necessary to create the results they desire.

In these weekly letters, we will seek to address both.

This week’s exercise will involve two steps:  first, decide
what you want to be different for you this year—do you want
more energy? Better nutrition?  Less stress?  To release
weight?  To feel better?  To decrease your use of
medications?

Decide what you want. 

Write it down. 

Now rephrase it in present tense using “I am…”  “I love…”
“I feel…”  and write down a few such statements, or
affirmations, that describe how you want to be and feel
even though you may not actually be there yet.

Examples might include:

I awaken with joy and energy.  I love how
I feel.  I love my life. 

I now lovingly nourish myself and release the weight I
no longer require.

Whatever you choose to write, read these statements at
least twice a day when you first arise and just before you
go to bed.

Second, ask yourself before going to bed tonight, what’s
one thing you could do tomorrow that would bring you closer
to what you want?

If an answer comes, great!  Commit to
doing it.  If not, go to sleep with the question open, and
see what comes to you when you awake.

Simple steps?  Yes!  Yet powerful tools that will assist
you in effecting any change you desire in your life.

Will you commit to doing this now?  How about tomorrow?  How
about each day for the next three weeks?

If you do, you will find you have begun a simple process that can be
applied again and again with huge results!

Talk to you again soon!

Dr. Ben

P.S.  Last night while speaking with someone with depression
and heart trouble, I looked up this affirmation for heart
trouble in Louise Hay’s book Heal Your Body: 

Joy. Joy. Joy.  I lovingly allow joy to flow through my
mind and body and experience.

A great affirmation for all who struggle with stress,
health issues, or lack of joy!

Who Are You?

I’m in Dallas and just had a quick moment to write a note on a fascinating way of looking at an intriguing question that I heard yesterday.

The question is this:

 Who are you?

Pause a moment…

What comes to mind when you first “hear” that question?

Well, here’s a new answer I heard from Jerry Clark yesterday:

Possibility manifested.

Consider this a moment.

 What if your health, your current condition, your diagnosis, or whatever you’re experiencing now, is just one “possibility manifested”?

What if you could learn to manifest a different possibility, instead of continually re-inforcing and re-living the one you’re experiencing now?

Intriguing…

More to come…
