Let your mind heal your body

It has now come to our knowledge that many ailments are caused by our thoughts and corresponding emotions. The good news is that we can change our emotions with our thoughts and thus keep away ailments. Let us explore some of these ailments to see how our health can indeed be in our control.

Diabetes

In my family and circle of friends, there are many who are diabetic. A common pattern is observed in them: they often feel that they are not loved by their family. One of my friends has two sons, both of whom are loving to her and their wives too, of course, but my friend feels that more importance is given to the wives. She keeps showering gifts on them but feels that they are not appreciated. This may sound like a soap opera, but the fact is that every visit of hers causes stress to the entire family. She felt unloved when she visited the home of her sons, and this was reflected in her sugar levels. She gradually accepted and changed her unfounded behaviour, and her sugar levels improved.

A lot of studies now show that diabetes is linked with feeling unloved and lonely in life. Perhaps, in India, it is increasing because of children living away from their families, sometimes even abroad. The pattern abroad too is that there is an increase in loneliness due to social circles becoming less prevalent. With more community programmes, the situation is becoming better.

The late Louise Hay, in You Can Heal Your Life, says that diabetes is caused by a great need for control, deep sorrow, and a feeling of no sweetness left in life. The affirmation she recommends is this: "This moment is filled with joy." She asks all to experience life by seeing love everywhere and sharing it.

Thyroid disease

Thyroid disease is linked to finding and expressing one's voice.
