Affirmation for good health - Is Anger making you sick?

“If we wish to stop ourselves from being hurt, we must stop bashing our heads against the brick walls, by removing the brick walls, or by removing the behaviour we exhibit” Jannette’s brainwave, February 08.

‘Hurt’ can be the irritation, anger, annoyance, or sense of injustice we feel when we expend energy against ‘something’. This resistance to what ‘we want’ culminates in a distortion of our energy field. This distortion can then lead to imbalances. Imbalances lead to illness, sickness, dis-ease in the body.

This does not mean that you just let everything in life slide on by without having opinion, position, and a viewpoint that is uniquely yours. It means you retain all of those choices of freewill, and remove the behaviour that promotes a reaction via your personal viewpoints on any subject.

A good friend, and pensioner, was recently telling me that she was upset she could not get an appointment for the government dentist, and would have to go and line up and wait to receive treatment. Firstly, in Australia, we are very lucky to be able to access free dental care for most people who are on a pension payment. Secondly, as you would assume, this resource is vastly under funded and they do the best they can. What struck me about this particular conversation with my friend was that she had known that the appointment schedule system had been out of date for well over a decade, and she had been complaining to me about it for more than a decade! :) What an amazing waste of energy!

She feels a sense of injustice because she cannot access what she wants straight away. She complains about the number of immigrants/’out of work’ people/single parents etc., that she shares the line with, yet espouses Christian values of goodwill towards all. She becomes visibly tense and openly angry when talking about this subject.

When I view my friend and the health issues she is encountering I see the distortion of her energy body reflected most evidently. When anyone displays (for a good length of time eg: years) processes of thought that are rigid, emotions that are irritated, and a duality of personality, they will culminate in symptoms like stiff joints, sensitive skin and digestion and general imbalances perhaps in the skeletal or muscular systems. This friend of mine is displaying all of the physical symptoms associated with her energy body imbalances.

If one was to take a very easy path to recovery it would be via altering the way one thinks and behaves. This is the simplest path, yet also the most challenging, as it puts all the responsibility for outcome squarely on one’s own shoulders. :) scary thought for most I would assume. There are other paths. A course of Flower Essences, Hypnotherapy, Relaxation Therapy like Reiki, Massage, or gentle exercise regimes like Yoga or Tai Chi. Then there’s always prescription/pharmaceutical medications that can make us happy when we’re sad, pain-free, calm when we are angry, sleepy, disorientated and generally putting up with side-effects that are harmful. But at least the outcome from such paths can be blamed on someone else…as it leaves very little responsibility on the shoulders of the individual. It takes very little conviction to pop a pill in your mouth and swallow.

Some may say I am taking a far too rosey look at the world when I say that I choose not to get involved in argument. I say that I am choosing to have an existence that suits me. It is my reality after all, so I’m going to make it as pleasant as possible! :)
I choose to see the best in everyone
I choose to make my life beautiful
I choose to be in harmony with myself, people I communicate with and my environment
I choose to be grateful for all the good things I am given
I choose to acknowledge my blessings

And in choosing not to dwell on, or rebel against, the more unfortunate happenings in my life, I am reducing or eliminating the potential of resonating those kinds of negative energies into my Life Experience, and that of my children and family.

When something unbeneficial or unforseen/unfortunate occurs I am immediately trying to find the good or the lesson in the happening.
Why did it happen?
Is there an ‘upward view’ to this situation?
Generally, … can I ‘make the best out of a bad situation’?
Honestly, if anyone would have said this to me about 20years ago I probably would have king-hit them. But after the events of the last decade or so, I am unsurprised that this is where my mind has come to rest. This is where my heart lies, in deep peace, in happy harmony. This is where the Being that I am in this Life wants to be.

The best gift you can give yourself, is the gift of inner harmony. This does not come from anyone or anything else.
It comes from within you.
You are the miracle you’ve been hoping for.
