Affirmations work best when repeated over and over, the more the better. In cursive, you find the affirmation for the condition. In my line of work, best results often occur as a combination of bodywork, such as massage, fascial release, postural correction as well as adequate nutrition, exercise, sleep as well as mental, emotional release and/or spiritual practise.īut if you are stuck with a persistent health issue that keeps returning again and again, it might interest you to to have a read though the following list of illnesses and their corresponding mental patterns to see if any of them hit a cord with you.įor this blog post I have picked the most common health issues that I see as a massage therapist from Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life. I am not implying that “positive thinking” alone is the answer to every illness out there. I find these body-mind connections fascinating! And very often, interestingly accurate. Affirmations are like positive statements, which spoken to ourselves repeatedly, will replace our old broken record and help us move to a healthier, happier state of being. Once we identify this mental dis-chord we can reverse the thought (and therefore the health condition) with the use of affirmations. Louise Hay believes that behind our physical discomfort there is a mental or emotional pattern that keeps us stuck or unwell. For five decades she has been educating the masses about the connection between the body and mind, mental patterns and physical illnesses. She is a 91-year old teacher, author and the head of a publishing company Hay House. “Every thought we think and every word we speak creates our future.” For example too many hours hunched over a computer will usually result in tight shoulders and headaches.īut have you ever thought there could be something else “weighing on our shoulders” besides the obvious postural and habitual patterns? Could there be an emotional component to our pain aswell? Often there is a “rational” explanation for our discomfort. As a massage therapist I see clients with various presentations of pain on a daily basis.
