Have You Brushed Your Brain Today?

Healthcare is on many people's minds these days. Unfortunately it is a heavy weight on most people's minds as they are focused on worry, or actually "dis-ease" care when it comes to their health.

This is a part of the very problem we are faced with - worry and focus on disease. Your brain does not like stress; in fact it is toxic to brain cells and a health hazard in general. I believe that the financial pressure from our existing system will likely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

I don't care how much money is pumped into the system, until the waste stops and people change their paradigm, their belief system about HOW they think - about themselves, their bodies and life in general - the system is going to fail ultimately.

What do I mean by "how we think"? We focus on fear and what we don't want without realizing that this is not only damaging our brains, it's creating the very havoc we see in our lives. The hormones and processes that are released in your body when your worry and stress (both based in fear) can not only kill off brain cells, it can damage your heart, your immune system, your digestive tract and your musculoskeletal system...among other things.

Now, instead of business as usual, which is to believe that if you could just pop a pill or make other people act the way you want them to behave, if you make the time to decide to change your mind - and I do mean change your brain and mind - you can begin to shift the gears that lead to destruction in your health.

Also, you can save yourself a lot of pain, suffering and money. The answer? Learn "brain hygiene", in other words learn how to cleanse your brain/mind of the pollutants of negative thoughts/emotions which boils down to fear. Until we learn how to obtain and maintain peace within ourselves, we can forget about seeing it "out there".

Peace of mind begins within; you will not be able to buy it or to obtain it by trying to "fix" others. What we judge harshly in others are only projections from our own perception, parts of our story of the "Mental Me" that we don't want to deal with.

Mindfulness meditation has been shown quite scientifically to slow down the runaway train of the busy mind and the benefits range from improved physical health to happy relationships. And, by default, good physical health and great relationships almost always translates to improved financial health.

At the root of all three is spiritual health. When we learn to take our ego fears and release them and rewire our brains, we can get the "cataracts of the soul" out of the way so that our inner Light can shine. The power of Light and inner peace is a force that can change not only your world, but also the world. A healthy you will create a healthy world.
