The following information has been taken from the book Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires by Esther and Jerry Hicks. We have chosen to highlight one chapter in particular which provides information on guiding your body through affirmations and visualizations to optimal health.
When to Use This Process:
- When you do not feel well
- When you have been given an unsettling diagnosis
- When you are feeling pain
- When you want to feel more vital
- When you feel a vague fear associated with your body
Do this process while lying in a comfortable place, when you have roughly 15 minutes when you are not likely to be disturbed. Write the following list in a place where it will be easy for you to read, and when you first lie down, read it slowly to yourself. (Say the ones that resonate with your current state.)
- It is natural for my body to be well
- Even if I don't know what to do in order to get better, my body does
- I have trillions of cells with individual Consciousness, and they know how to achieve their individual balance
- When this condition began, I didn't know what I know now
- If I had known then what i know now, this condition couldn't have gotten started
- I don't need to understand the cause of this illness
- I don't need to explain how it is that I'm experiencing this illness
- I have only to gently, eventually, release this illness
- It doesn't matter that it got started, because it's reversing its course right now
- It's natural that it would take some time for my body to best align to my improved thoughts of Well-Being
- There's no hurry about any of this
- My body knows what to do
- Well-Being is natural to me
- My Inner Being is intricately aware of my physical body
- My cells are asking for what they need in order to thrive, and Source Energy is answering those requests
- I'm in very good hands
- I will relax now, to allow communication between my body and my Source
- My only work is to relax and breathe
- I can do that
- I can do that easily
Now lie and focus on your breathing. Your goal is to be as comfortable as possible. You will very likely begin to feel soft, gentle sensations in your body. Smile, and acknowledge that this is Source Energy specifically answering your cellular request. You are now feeling the healing process. Just relax and breathe - and allow it.
If you were experiencing pain when you laid down, follow the same process. However if you were feeling pain, it would be helpful for you to add these words to your written and spoken list:
- This sensation of pain is an indicator that Source is responding to my cellular request for Energy
- This sensation of pain is a wonderful indicator that help is on the way
- I will relax into this sensation of pain because I understand that it's indicating improvement
Now, if you can, drift off to sleep. Smile in your knowledge that All-Is-Well. Breathe and relax - and trust.
The next time you feel any discomfort, stop in the middle of it and say to yourself, "This discomfort that I'm feeling is nothing more than my awareness of resistance. It's time for me to relax and breathe, relax and breathe, relax and breathe." And you can, in seconds, bring yourself back into comfort.
Someone asked us recently, "Is there any limitation to the body's ability to heal?" and we said, None, other than the belief that you hold. And he asked, "Then why aren't people growing new limbs?" And we said, Because no one believes they can.
Anytime you have physical discomfort of any kind, whether you call it emotional or physical pain within your body, it always, always means the same thing: "I have a desire that is summoning Energy, but I have a belief that is not allowing, so I've created resistance in my body." The solution, every single time, to the releasing of discomfort or pain is the relaxation and the reach for the feeling of relief.
Wellness that is being allowed, or the wellness that is being denied, is all about the mind-set, the mood, the attitude, or the practiced thoughts. There is not one exception in any human or beast because you can patch them up again and again, and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. It is all psychosomatic - every bit of it. No exceptions.
Any disease could be healed in a matter of days - any disease - if distraction from it could occur and a different vibration dominate - and the healing time is about how much mix-up there is in all of that, for any malady in your physical body was a lot longer in coming than it takes to release it.
Do you have to think specific positive thoughts about your body in order for it to be the way you want it to be? No. But you have to not think the specific negative thoughts. If you could never again think about your body and, instead, just think pleasant thoughts, your body would reclaim its natural place of wellness.
Almost everybody is looking around and vibrating in response to what they are seeing. So what is the solution? Look around less. Imagine more. Look around less. Imagine more. Until your imagery is the most familiar vibration that you have.
Here is a rule of thumb that will help you: If you believe that something is good, and you do it, it benefits you. If you believe that something is bad, and you do it, it is a very detrimental experience. There is nothing that you can do that is worse for yourself than to do something that you believe is inappropriate, so get clear and happy about whichever choice you make, because it is your contradiction that causes the majority of the contradiction in vibration. Make a decision about what you want, focus your attention there, and find the feeling-place of it - and you are there instantly. There is no reason for you to suffer or struggle your way to or through anything.
