What Is Your Relationship to Your Body?

      

By Barbara Berger

Do you realize that every cell of your body is responding to your thoughts at this very moment, whether these thoughts are negative or positive? When we understand this, we can also understand that it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the way we think about our bodies right now.    You can start by asking yourself: Do you curse your body or bless it? Do you think negatively or positively about your body? Are you focusing on every little ache and pain you have, or are you focusing on everything that is strong and healthy about your body?    If you discover that your thoughts are not as positive as they could be, well it's never too late to change. Especially when we understand that if we change our thoughts about our bodies, our bodies will quickly respond to our new thoughts and words. Especially if these thoughts are loving and kind and uplifting.    So why not decide that from this moment on whenever you think about your body, or of any specific part of your body, you will think of it lovingly and send it positive thoughts and good energy. Decide that from now on you will always tell your body that it is strong and healthy. And praise your body for all it can do.    I promise you that your focus on the Good will make your body thrive.    Our bodies always reflect back to us our focus. Always!    By the same token, if any part of your body is not functioning properly or is diseased (not at ease) or is causing you pain, then instead of cursing this part of your body, talk to it as you would talk to a little child you love and cherish. (Do you not love and cherish your own body?) So have a nice talk with that part of your body that is feeling discomfort.    For example, if you have a stomachache, have a little chat with your stomach. Say, “Dear stomach, why are you so upset today? What's the problem? Did I eat something that doesn't agree with you? Or is something eating you? Am I too tense for your liking? Am I rushing around too much? Am I drinking too much coffee every day?” Then listen to the answers... listen to your intuition and take heed of what it says.    And don't forget to end your little conversation by saying, “Dear stomach, I really love you and bless you and thank you for the wonderful work you are doing each and every day… digesting all my food and all the emotions I am feeling and all the ideas I am entertaining... You are just so amazing, dear stomach. So now you can just relax, dear stomach. Yes, just let go and relax. Release all the pain and tension. I see every single one of your cells, dear stomach, now filled with radiant life force and shining white light. And I know that you are feeling much, much better. Yes, right here and right now. And so it is.”     If you would like to read more about the amazing, transformative power of positive thinking when it comes to our bodies and good health, see my book “The Road to Power – Fast Food for the Soul”.     About Barbara Berger American-born Barbara Berger is the best-selling author of “The Road to Power – Fast Food for the Soul” (published in 30 languages), “Are You Happy Now? 10 Ways to Live a Happy Life” (published in 21 languages), “The Awakening Human Being – A Guide to the Power of Mind”, and "Find and Follow Your Inner Compass".  Barbara’s latest books include “Healthy Models for Relationships – the Basic Principles Behind Good Relationships With Your Partner, Family, Parents, Children, Friends, Colleagues and All the Other People in Your Life” and her autobiography entitled “My Road to Power – Sex, Trauma & Higher Consciousness”.  Barbara lives in Copenhagen, Denmark and works as coach and therapist, helping people around the globe come into alignment with their own true power.
