Most of the Christian Planet has yesterday celebrated Easter, but I'm not in that category because I was baptized as an orthodox and we, the orthodox folks, celebrate it one week later. I guess we want to make it perfect, or who knows why we have different calendars for such Holiday. Now although I have a great respect for Jesus and his teachings I don't consider myself a religious person and I don't go to church. I actually avoid such people and places because most of them that I met proved to be quite mind limited.
I do have some sort of belief that nothing's random in this Universe and that there is perfection beyond our limited senses, hence I have my experience with both meditation and prayer, but can't say that I have manifested anything worth mentioning or that I know how to use Universe's laws and make my life a piece of heaven. On the contrary, most of my life I worked hard to make it a living hell.
The Universe sees me though and I sometimes have that type of moments with strong synchronicity that you feel like a higher power is trying to transmit something to you. Something similar happend today and I'll tell you right now what's all about. I am reading a book, for quite long proving how lame of a reader I have become, about the Neuroscience of self transforming through stories and in one of the chapters that I read today the subject was the placebo effect. For pages and pages the authors shared tons of example of placebo healing using both traditional medicine and even surgery, proving to work in both types of treatement.
Underlying the importance of what we call mind over matter, one of the examples given as no better than a placebo pill, being the famous prozac, that cashes in billions of dollars every year from people all around the world and, only because dis-ease folks believe in it. A few minutes after I ate my lunch I stumbled upon a video on youtube of Bruce Lipton that was entitled "LISTEN TO THIS EVERYDAY (Very Powerful Speech)", the title having no obvious connection with what I read, but was almost entirely about the placebo effect.
Prozac being mentioned again... Why do I consider that the Universe sent me this information today is because for several years I am dealing with all sort of diseases and don't seem to get rid of them for good. Even if I do with one, there comes another, and so on. What Bruce Lipton mentioned as the major catalyst for many illnesse, is actually stress that's behind many of them and he explains in detail how it messes everything, in the short video that I linked above and highly recommend you to watch.
The time I started falling down from my quite good health condition is when I started accepting stress in my life and the problem with almost any treatment that I took for any type of disease was my weak belief in the treatment and my daily stress pill being ingest with almost no exception. Actually the most important ingredient for any type of healing was lacking from my approach, and it's not like I first heard of the placebo effect today, it's that I haven't used my mind's power the right way. Instead of using creative imagination and mind's self healing powers I was drowning in fear, searching for more docs opinions, searching for more tests for related diseases and so on...which was really a bad move, that kind of kept me in stress even stronger, although I wasn't having any external causes the last years.
Now it makes perfect sense though, and no matter the pills, plants or supplements, therapy or whatever I need or feel like trying, that is supposed to heal, I have to pour tons of belief in these treatments, and I know that it won't happe over night, but getting the same info in one day, from tow different sources is definitely a bell ring that should not be overlooked, and I would probably even pin some sort of a motivation quote somewhere to be sure I won't forget. You almost always get what you expect receiving and it would be the time I should expect something else when taking supplements and doing my exercises for my back and joints for example.
Mentioning the lock down in the post I will have to say that if this whole thing brought to me anything valuable in the past weeks, that is more awareness. I can't say that I appreciate staying inside the whole day, but there is a half full glass for this situation that I have to appreciate. Can't wait for the days in which I will stay outside as much as possible, but till then I am using the time spent inside as productive as possible. Once the locked out session begins I doubt I will read that much anymore...
It's fascinating what Bruce Lipton is talking about and would highly suggest you watch a few videos of him, or read any of his books if you feel like. Epigenetics is "his science" and honestly it makes a lot of sense, even for the ordinary non professional, while proving to be very useful to many. Hope you had a great Easter and wish you all the best.
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
