Hello Ambrose
Great comments you have.
You have been my constant source of admiration and inspiration - the very
un-usual belief system you have, self-motivating and let no dark cloud
stays in your mind. Knowing you, you have several GREAT falls in life, yet
your focus always is Stand Up and Move on with life, take every minute as
the most precious moment, no time to waste.
My curiosity and challenge is - How do ordinary people gain such mastery
of the mind to create new positive outcome in life?
For that, I play my humble role as a Coach, Trainer and Facilitator,
believing that Everyone can attain such skills.
Cheers and look forward to our long overdue coffee session.

Hi Andrew I love your article re The Nature of Personal Reality. Coincidentally I have been practicing this psychology for the last two decades. Instead of focusing on the sickness and diseases of our bodies, one should strive for better and healthier life style in order to be more optimistic in life's outlooks.Our mind is capable of prophesying events that have been visualised and, they will become reality with repetitive and intensified wavelengths. Our bodies are also capable of self inflicting and self healing by secreting relative types of hormones under different stimulations and conditions.Everythinh in this universe is in fact anchored to the very basic principle of Ying and Yang, and the Middle path is considered the 'Health or Ideal Zone', whereby all living organism runs smoothly throughout the intended period of state existence predetermined by the Creator or The Subconscious Mind. You are what you think ! This is my favourite topic.Let's have more discussion over coffee one of these days.Cheers !

It says "To change your body you change your beliefs, even in the face of physical data or evidence that conflicts."
"You constantly give yourself suggestions about your body, your health or ill health".
Hence it implies when you are sick, it is your belief that creates that sickness, and if you change that belief system, you get well.
Interestingly in my numerous applications of Energy Psychology, I often come across clients (patients) having a very firm belief system about their sickness, e.g.
"My sickness, or disease, is cased by virus, as my doctor explained to me"
"My poor condition is due to imbalance of hormones in my body."
In conversation-coaching during the Energy Psychology application process ... my coaching questions ...
"How is the degree of belief you have on the above statement, in a scale of 0 to 10, 10 is fullest conviction?" and "What options you have now?"
The answer often is "100% or 10 out of 10" and "nothing much I can do about it, except taking the medicine, which I am aware of its harmful side-effect, take more care of my diet and lifestyle, but I have to live with it for the rest of my life."
Such belief system certainly reinforces and continue to create the sick body.
In Energy Psychology, we try to soften that belief system and allow more choices to the client (patient).

Yes, I agree with you on this. If you are positive, your perspective will be positive or vice versa. E..g the recent petrol hike, one can look at it as negative, costs are going up. But another person can look at it as time to protect the environment, save on food, luxury lifestyles, healthier living (healthier home cook food) and may be 'exercising the mind' more to maximize resources...
Just a thought.

"The Law of Attraction" as made popular by "The Secret" is a powerful
concept and to many, it is a new discovery - a discovery to point out with
useful explanation of behavior and situation.
The underlying principle is that - like attracts like and vice versa
or positive attracts positive
and negative attracts negative
It is a useful and powerful concept when one uses the principle as a
reflective tool for self-examination for self improvement or to model
after another successful person.
Hence if a person is successful and happy, there must be some good virtues
and attributes of that person to attract more good things and blessing in
his or her life.
If I am not too successful or having pattern of problems, there must be
something in me that I need to improve and make good at so that I begin to
attract more goodness in life.
However, there maybe a danger on the later usage - at that may backfire.
For example, the principle can be used in a counter-productive way when
there are a series of negative events or phenomena, and one begins to self
indulge in guilt, worries, inferiority complex, little self worthiness,
lowering of self-confidence ....
or taking too much upon one's own shoulder, say "100% my own fault" over a
failed or difficult relationship, say, with someone, as it is generally
agreed that it takes two to tango.
Self generated negative emotion, using the above strategy does not help in
emotional healing.
Now the challenge is how to make the distinction between Self-Improvement
and Self-sabotage!

Hello George
Thanks for your sharing.
I took a quick browse at
>

>
and I find that their program is line with most or many other healing
system - i.e. no medication or surgery, but calm mind (meditation),
certain types of natural food or herb, some form of exercise, e.g. qigong
...
there is another practice i.e. soul over mind and body, calling on the
divine intervention, quite like faith healing used by some Christians.

I have come across the Gawler Foundation when my colleague / friend
was diagnosed with brain cancer. His cancer has since gone into
remission for about 6 years and his story has been a very encouraging
one to relate. As I get to know more about what the Ian Gawler
Foundation does - how it has helped many to heal in both mind and body
- I thought that it may be relevant to share here on self-help. To
read more, go to the following site : -
http://www.gawler.org/html/s01_home/home.asp
Their advice on meditation and food is something worth spending some
time on. Many cancer and MS (multiple scleriosis) sufferers have found
healing in their work and programmes. If this has helped people with
such dire illnesses, think of what it can do for people with lesser
illness ....
Warm regards,
George

I am impress with Andrew efford on promoting the self-healing. I always scout on the book related with self-healing. Beside Qi Gong practice, i also want to know others alternative way to healing our body. Recently, I found a few books which the author share with us why and how our mind can heal our body.
1. By Adam - Dreamhealer - A true story of Miracle healing . 2. By Larry Dossey - Healing beyong the Body - Medicine and the Infinite Reach of Mind .
3. By Norman Doidge - The Brain that changes Itself.
Coughing for the last few months with pain in the chest, patient went to
see a doctor, who took x-ray and did some examinations and wrote a
referral letter to a hospital. Upon check in to the hospital (UM), and
reading the referral letter, the hospital doctor quickly sent the patient
to an emergency ward and carried out some medical treatment. Later the
patient learned that if she was late by a few hours, she may not lived
anymore.
After hospitalization, with improvement in other symptoms, the patient
still suffered difficulty in breathing, feeling suffocation, i.e. “no easy
and restricted flow of air and blockages in the upper part of the lungs”.
The degree of the discomfort was a rating of 6 out of 10, 10 being most
severe.
During the energy tapping session, I could see her, after saying a few
words, she felt difficulty in breathing, with pain and discomfort in the
lungs. And she coughed.
After first round of energy tapping, the discomfort level reduced from 6
to 5.
I asked her whether she had similar experience in life the feeling of “no
easy flow” “things not going your way” “blockages and resistance”, at
first she said no, the she related her marriage problem.
Energy tapping was carried out on the marriage problem, with details kept
to herself. The rating dropped fast, from 5 to 2.
By this time, she felt lightness and easy flow of air, less constrictions.
She wondered, “is my health problem related to my emotional issue?”
We tapped on that “ever though I am not sure whether there is relationship
between my health problem and emotional issues ….”
After a few more round of energy tapping, the rating went down to almost
zero.
“Even though the rating went down to zero. Or almost zero, with maybe 0,2
or 0,3 reminds, I continue to forgive and accept myself”.
It was obvious by that time, there was no more difficulty in breathing,
further talking did not result in any cough and she felt lighter and more
cheerful.
As she practices energy healing by hand, and meditation, she was
encouraged to do her daily meditation to strengthen her overall body
health and boost up her immerse system to protect herself from any other
future emotional attack.

Most suffering, sickness or disease can be stress-related – a
general statement.
Negative emotion, be it stress, disturbed mind, with the associated
pain, suffering, dysfunction situation, poor performance, depression, insomnia,
some leading to more severe sickness or disease like cancers etc. etc. is
generally understood to be caused by past or present un-pleasant memory,
trauma, experience. (besides food we eat and air we breath, or environment we
live in).
With that as the underlying premise, effort is made towards tackling
the root cause – to re-visit the past negative drama with the hope of infusing
some positive perspectives or re-writing the event, as carried out by
therapist, psychologist, counselors, or coaches, or injection of positive
thinking, affirmation or will-power by motivators. Often it is time consuming
process, not always with high rate of success. And modern medicine uses drug
and chemicals to suppress or physically prevent or stop the behavior of the
neurons.
Mr. "A" suffers depressions, never performs up to his
potentials, and has phobia of height. Tracing back, it was found that he met an
accident, with him in a car overhanging a cliff - a traumatic experience when
he as a young boy.
Is that traumatic past experience the cause of his conditions today?
Using the above logic, it will be so.
However, together with him are his other siblings, some younger,
other older. But they do not suffer the conditions Mr. A is in? How come?
"The cause of all negative emotions is the disruption in the
body energy system." – Gary Craig, founder of EFT (Emotional Freedom
Technique)
Using this new premise, attention is now drawn to restoration of the
body energy system, not modern medicine, conventional therapist, drugs or herbs
or supplements.
This leads to proliferation of energy healing systems like Qigong,
Yoga, Hand Energy Healing, Meditation, Reiki, Prayer, etc.
The new practices take a lot of patience and discipline, belief and
commitment, often years to gain the mastery and see the positive effects.
Gary Craig makes popular a simple, fast and effective method, which
he calls EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to restore health and achieve well
being. EFT gets the patient to focus or tune into the negative emotion and
mobilize the body energy by tapping on some acupuncture points of the body.
Testimonials and many more testimonials of years old suffering,
insomnia, migraine, pain, depression etc. etc show fast or instant cure
(some as short as 10 min session), without any more recurrence in using EFT.
Why such speedy healing as compared with years of practice of
Qigong, Yoga, meditation etc.?
"The biggest factor that causes blockage of the body's healing
energy is emotional issues, particularly how these are stored in—and processed
by—the body. Stress and negative emotions aren't in the head; they are stored
as tensions in the body" – Dr.Eric Robbins
Dr. Eric Robbins continues ..
Interestingly, it is not our negative emotions that cause the
problem—but rather our resistance to feeling these emotions. My friend and
internationally known psychologist Gay Hendricks once said, "All emotions
are gentle and short-lived, unless we resist feeling them."
Qigong, Yoga or Energy healing by hand practitioners appear to
ignore the above – the attention and feeling of the negative emotion. They
concentrate on their breathing, movement of the body (as required by Qigong or
Yoga procedures), or stillness of the mind in meditation, (not the feeling of
the negative emotion), although eventually (after long years) such practice
helps the Qi to flow, unblock the stuck energy in the body.
Again to borrow Dr. Eric Robbin's words, as my concluding
remarks :
"We are blessed today with simple, inexpensive,
accessible techniques that have the potential to revolutionize our sense of
wellness, shift the patterns that trap us in chronic disease, and dramatically
raise our thresholds of happiness. I challenge you to experiment with these
methods and see what results they produce in your own life. And as you have the
courage to travel healing journey, I salute the divinity within you and trust
God's blessings with you always."

friend and internationally known psychologist Gay Hendricks once said, "All
emotions are gentle and short-lived, unless we resist feeling them."
Qigong, Yoga or Energy healing by hand
practitioners appear to ignore the above – the attention and feeling of the
negative emotion. They concentrate on their breathing, movement of the body (as
required by Qigong or Yoga procedures), or stillness of the mind in meditation,
(not the feeling of the negative emotion), although eventually (after long
years) such practice helps the Qi to flow, unblock the stuck energy in the
body.
Again to borrow Dr. Eric Robbin's words, as
my concluding remarks :
"We
are blessed today with simple, inexpensive, accessible techniques that have the
potential to revolutionize our sense of wellness, shift the patterns that trap
us in chronic disease, and dramatically raise our thresholds of happiness. I challenge
you to experiment with these methods and see what results they produce in your
own life. And as you have the courage to travel healing journey, I salute the
divinity within you and trust God's blessings with you always."

Early my wife visited a homeopathic doctor over a health issue - no cure
and life long medication (with negative side effect) as far as Modern
Medicine is concerned.
On every visit, the homeopathic doctor, instead of talking about the
medical symptoms, spent hours talking to my wife about her lifestyle,
childhood, state of mind, emotion.
Together with her daily meditation and enery healing, her health condition
improves tremendously.
Recently, my friend having sharp pain on her shoulders for last 3-4 years
every morning upon waking up, got her sharp pain dis-appeared after I
introduce her EFT and coaching her to surface hidden issues, emotional
blockages.
Yes, I agree it is beneficial to look at the belief system, how the mind
works rather than treating the symptoms at the physical level with physics
and chemistry only.
Cheers

Zainal,
Well said. Thanks. I've just started reading his works and about him.
The thing I like most about what I'm understanding from his work is on
Rational thinking and beliefs. Telling us what is a Rational Belief
and what is an Irrational Belief is a good start.
Regards,
George

Albert Ellis is one of the great psychotherapist, alongside Freud, Jung, Rogers, Beck, etc. Initially started as a fan of Freud but later branched and founded Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) which is a subset of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Prolific writer. Just google Albert Ellis and go to the major sites to read of his approaches and achievements.
Had the ignominy of being booted out of his own Institute but was later reinstated after an uproar created by his Ericksonian friends esp Jeff Zeig (who said therapists from different schools cannot be friends?). Passed away last year (2007)..A great and fruitful life.
Everything is first created in the mind - not just sickness and problems. So why dwell on sickness and problems?
>Have you read any books by Albert Ellis, a psychologist? Many of our problems are in our minds ie. how we perceive things around us. He developed REBT which is very interesting.
Wonder if you could share in this Healing Systems Community ....
Who is Albert Ellis? And what is his advocacy? What is REBT? How does it work?
Yes, I agree that many sickness and problems are created in our minds -
Meditation is one way to calm the mind or still the mind, that creates healing effect.
Who would like to share how many other systems to heal the mind?
Hello George
Greetings and Happy New Year to you too.

Yes, I agree that many sickness and problems are created in our minds -
Meditation is one way to calm the mind or still the mind, that creates
healing effect.

Greetings and Happy New Year – 2008
I will like to welcome you to this new egroup on Healing Systems (refer
introduction at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/healsys/ )
It is hoped that this e-discussion helps us to discover various diverse
Healing Systems and the underlying principles, which eventually helps us
to be effective in a particular healing system that we choose.
First, I will like to share Dr. Tad James’ 7-Principles on Healing
________________________________________________________________________
1) All Healing is Self-healing
2) Client has his or her free-will. Oftentimes, client's un-conscious mind
may have reason not wanting to get well, maybe due to secondary gain.
Healer has to help to intervene
3) The client and healer will not actualize the belief that the healer
does not believe to be true.
4) The body has its intelligence and mechanics of healing.
5) The origin of disease is not the same as the disease . The origin of
disease can only be accomplished at non-physical level.
6) Mind and Body healing needs to be accompanied by significant shift in
consciousness or major change in lifestyle.
7) Non-attachment to the outcome of healer - an important mindset of the
healer, just caring and loving attitudes towards the client, that he or
she is magnificent person whether he or she chooses to live or not.
You may find that some of the above stated principles are closely related
e.g. 2) if a patient free-will (conscious or unconscious mind) chooses not
to get well, there is no 1) self-healing, no matter how powerful is the
“healer” who may heal thousands.
You may also find that modern medicine do not use the above principles.
What are your views and experiences?
