Introduction:
The brain can potentially be used as medicine!
We all know that we can heal our bodies with plant based foods, yoga, exercise, and proper sleep.
But did you know that your mind may also act as a powerful medicine?
Yes! If we tell our minds to go in the proper path, we can heal everything, including emotional wounds, physical discomfort, and problems in life.
The three most important tools for mind to act as a healer are
- Gratitude (Thankfulness),
- Forgiveness (Forgiving others and seeking forgiveness), and
- Visualization (Imaginary power).
Let’s look at these three and find out how to wake up your inner doctor.
- Thankfulness—Every day is a healing vibe.
Being truly grateful means, be appreciative for everything you have been provided.
Thank for even smallest things that come in your life and benefit you. e.g. be thankful
- The Sun that gives life in the form of sunlight.
- Plant kingdom for providing numerous types of crops.
- You are getting water to drink. Thank various sources.
- You have a house to live and several amenities to live comfortably.
- Being with the people you love
- Maintaining your health properly
The Magic of Being Thankful Every Day:
There are several benefits of being grateful. To name a few,
- You have less stress
- Your mind settles down and remains calm
- The body releases happy hormones, including serotonin and dopamine.
- Blood pressure remains controlled and heart health gets better.
- You get better quality deep sleep
Practice this simple but effective habit:
Before you go to bed every night, write down for three things and three persons you’re thankful for.
This two-minute habit can change your life to a great extent.
- Forgiveness—lighten your mind
Do you know that anger, resentment, grudges, hatred, jealousy and grief etc. are the worst habits that adversely affect your immune system?
On the other hand, forgiveness brings several positive effects in your body and mind. Forgiveness includes not just forgiving other people, but also forgiving yourself. In addition, forgiveness is seeking forgiveness from others for your faults and misdeeds.
Practicing forgiveness is a noble habit. You release your mental blocks while forgiving others. This is an emotional detox.
Just like we clean our bodies every day, we need to clean our minds too, through the practice of forgiveness.
Forgiveness has several benefits:
- You get less stress and anxiety
- It leads to your heart and brain both feel calmness
- Your relationships with others get better and improved.
- You start loving yourself more and others.
Affirmation of Forgiveness:
“I forgive everyone, whosoever has ever hurt me or caused me a loss.”
“I choose to live in love and peace by forgiving others and myself.”
“I seek forgiveness from everyone whom I have ever hurt.”
Say this twice a day, in the morning and at night, with total devotion and wholeheartedly.
It will ease your mind and release all tension and stress, if any.
- Visualization: Think, Feel, Get it!
What you wish to get in life or how you wish to be in future, making a mental image of the same and manifesting it in your mind’s eye, is what visualization entails.
For the purpose of healing or staying perfectly healthy, you will have to create similar image or a scene in your mind as if it has already manifested. More or less it resembles the same way as a movie director creates a scene in mind and creates it for the shot.
In this way you can imagine and create an image,
- You are full of energy,
- You are physically and mentally perfectly healthy,
- Your blood pressure and sugar levels are normal,
- You are a calm, happy person and have beautiful smile on your face,
- You are going for a walk in nature every morning.
Similarly you can create various other healthful and positive images of your choice.
Your brain believes this image is true when you picture it every day. Accordingly your mind releases energy and related hormones and facilitates the manifestation of the images created by you.
In case, it is for healing, it really makes the recuperation process go faster!
Regular Practice:
- Every morning, close your eyes for five minutes and create mental images about yourself living in perfect health, happiness and peaceful state.
- Feel that emotion in your heart, like it’s actually occurring in your life.
And gradually you will see the magic happening.
- Science backs up these Mind Tools.
Harvard, Stanford, and the Mayo Clinic are examples of institutions that have proven these facts that,
- Practicing gratitude lowers the risk of heart disease.
- Forgiveness boosts mental health and immunity.
- Visualization has helped cancer patients, athletes, and stroke survivors recuperate.
It must be noted that this is not a story from a fiction. Instead, it is a real therapeutic psychology.
- Your Daily “Mind Medicine” Routine
Morning (5 mins)—Practice visualization;
Before meals (30 secs)—Be thankful for the food;
Evening (2 minutes) – Journal of Thanks
Night (3 minutes) – Forgiveness Affirmation or MeditationThis 10-minute “mind routine” will improve your mental, emotional, and physical wellness to a whole new level. And you would certainly be benefitted.
- You are your own healer!
Do you know, healing happens automatically,
when your mind is calm,
your heart is stable and content, and
you are connected with your inner being.Mind as medicine means, to bring forth and activate your inner kindness, compassion, positive attitude and clarity of mind. In that condition, you don’t need any medications, there is no stress, and no any cost is involved. There are just clear but positive ideas and a loving and grateful mind for everyone.
Your Wellness Buddy says,
“The purer and compassionate is your mind, the more powerful and healthful is your body.”Let your mind be the best and the most powerful medication you have.
To conclude, I wholeheartedly wish for your welfare and for your perfect health, for now and always.
