The physical body being grosser appears to have great
strength, but the controlling switchboard is in the
mind.
From the biological point of view, the human body
is a dense network of nerves, cells, veins and other
constituents all interconnected with each other. It
has also the ability to constantly repair and renew
itself.
If all cellular reactions are optimum and perfect,
one can lead a disease-free life. Our mind exercises
direct control over all biochemical reactions taking
place in our body. Our thoughts, emotions and feelings
leave their impact on the biological system. For instance,
the feelings of fear in us lead to the gush of the
hormone adrenaline; the feelings of stress cause the
release of the hormone cortisol; the feelings of laughter
increase endomorphin levels; anger and annoyance,
raising the cholesterol level and blood pressure,
increase the risk of fatal heart attacks or strokes,
and there are many more such examples available.
Every emotion or feeling has the tendency of altering
or modifying our biochemical profile. In short, our
body is the physical outcome of all our thoughts and
emotions we have been rearing in our mental plane,
as is depicted in the famous adage: Belief creates
biology. In other words, our physical body can be
described as the manifestation of emotions or the
three dimensional projection of our mental thoughts,
as Shakespeare put it. We are such stuff as dreams
are made of. Thus, our every body cell is influenced
by the way we think and feel. In addition, our all
thoughts, emotions, and feelings get stored up in
the vibration code of our cells.
Today's surveys reveal that those who are chronically
depressed are four times more likely to get gripped
by sickness or illness. A bout of depression could
disrupt our immune system, while the soothing feelings
of love and affection are powerful enough to boost
it. All the diseases ranging from the simplest to
the most critical are in one or the other way influenced
by our mind.
The human mind is like a double-edged sword. Where
its potentialities, if mishandled, can cause so much
of havoc in the form of diseases, at the same time,
the effect utilization of its potentialities can help
in eliminating anxiety, panic attacks, and stress.
The mind is equipped with incredible powers that can
change life. It is like the creating power-machine,
which can create anything ranging from the worst to
the best. The worst gets manifested when the mind
is overwhelmed with negativities propagating anxiety,
worries, and depression, which further shoot up into
various forms of diseases.
Generally, anxiety, stress, worry, etc, all need just
single negative thought for their ignition. But, often,
you dont get aware of that negative thought; instead,
you sense this negativity when it has assumed some
other worse state; like headache, and stomachache
for example.
The need is to control negative thoughts before they
reach their summit in the form of variegated ailments.
However, negative thoughts can be controlled by bridling
the mind with the help of proper meditation techniques
emphasised in Divine Knowledge, which in turn can
be achieved by the grace of a perfect master only.
The mystical effect of Divine knowledge then churns
out your positive tendencies, enabling you to extract
the most out of your life. It trains and develops
your mind; keeping it disease-free and stress-free.
It makes you lead a healthier and more productive
life while keeping diseases at bay.
