BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in PULLING YOUR OWN STRINGS

“It is well known that not dwelling on the symptoms of many physical maladies will actually diminish the symptoms — as long as you don’t do anything else to aggravate them. Meditation is increasingly used, along with judicious exercise, instead of drugs to break the pain-tension-more-pain-more-tension cycles of chronic backaches. And consider the common cold. By thinking about a cold, talking about it, “indulging it.” you will very likely reinforce the cold symptoms, which your own body will naturally suppress if it has more pressing business…

This kind of anti-thinking strategy, when the thinking is self-defeating, can be very helpful in eliminating many infirmities. While it is obviously not a substitute for adequate medical care, when the cause of the problem is purely in the head, or when the head can aggravate the symptoms of a physical problem out of all proportion to its real seriousness, then learning to relax, to stop thinking and just be, can be a very powerful antidote to physical maladies.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Pulling Your Own Strings”
