Change Your Mind, Change Your Body

            Your body is a mirror for what happens in your mind and spirit. If you change your mind, your body will soon follow along. That being said, if you body is sick, it may be because you have some sick thoughts that need to be dealt with. (I'm going to say right off, this doesn't necessarily mean that every sickness has this correlation, but it's worth a good look.)

            The spirit body has energy centers in the human body called Chakras. Each chakra gives spiritual energy to the human body, regulated by the human mind. Think of it as a spiritual bank account you're giving enough energy to, to support bills you have to pay.

            For example, your stomach area is a chakra that is responsible for your relationship to self (self-esteem, self-care, habits, weight gain, smoking, addictions like alcohol). If you have issues with bad self-esteem, use addictions to cover your sad feelings, then you are probably supporting a large stomach. Maybe you will soon find yourself losing so much energy from that chakra that you will have intestinal problems and stomach problems as well. 

            You only get a certain amount of energy a day to invest in that account. If you use it wisely, you will support your energy system. If you carelessly use it, it will be depleted and zap the energy from your physical body and cause sickness, because everyone needs energy to survive. So, the support system from the spirit/mind/body is manipulated to the energy sucking side. The metaphor where the mind is now thinking bad thoughts and the body is proving the thoughts are correct are in place. You are now a picture of "what you sow, you shall reap."

            There is a perfect paradigm in the Universe. If you work the spiritual and mental places to your benefit, your body will be healthier and you'll be led to caregiving that will help you deal with problems that, perhaps, you have had your entire life due to predisposed issues from genetics, as well. 

            A healthy spirit and a healthy mind, usually means you are on your way to a healthy body. This may not always be true. But for the most part, actively trying to create balance in your mind and body is a great thing to achieve.
