Open Your Eyes Before They Close Forever!!!

I believe all things to be possible: when the doctor tells you have only limited time left.   Tell yourself. . . . I will show him!!

Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly. What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations !!!!

All the Light We Cannot See.

Life can be like a hurricane calm, peaceful one moment and engulfed in rage the next☯️

The energies that have been circulating recently have been intense with.

So many internal/ external shifts happening. Just remember, when life doesn’t seem         to be going in the direction that you thought or hoped it would, don’t lose heart because you are always on the right track in life no matter what the outside is showing you.          You can’t change destiny. What is meant to be will always be. Keep listening to your   inner  heart & soul. I don’t say this enough, but I am so grateful for all of you who follow me, leave such nice comments, and stop to like a photo. I appreciate all of your support, kindness, & love. I know several of you are soul fam & I’m so glad we get to connect!

I hope u all have an amazing weekend! Sending you all some positive vibes, soul light, & love!

Live a balanced life
Focus on the things that you are grateful for in your life. Try not to obsess about the problems at work, school, or home that lead to negative feelings. This doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be happy when you feel stressed, anxious, or upset. It’s important to deal with these negative feelings, but try to focus on the positive things in your life, too. You may want to use a journal to keep track of things that make you feel happy or peaceful. Some research has shown that having a positive outlook can improve your quality of life and give your health a boost. You may also need to find ways to let go of some things in your life that make you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Make time for things you enjoy.

The mind-body effect basically says that suggestions, desires, beliefs, expectations and fears influence what people experience.
This psychogenic phenomena is all about the global contributions suggestion, belief, desire,  fear,  and expectation have upon your natural health and wellness.  In medicine,  this phenomenon is usually called the placebo effect. https://worldtruth.tv/7-tremendous-effects-of-having-a-positive-attitude/

Highlights of The Mind-Body Effect:

The mind-body effect is usually called the placebo effect.
The mind-body effect works better on some health conditions than on others.
A person’s long term beliefs and fears either positively or adversely affects their          health and wellness.
The mind-body effect is a special form of optimism.
The mind-body effect cannot work miracles against serious diseases or injuries.
Expectation plays a key role in the mind-body effect.

The mind-body effect can also refer to the phenomenon where an ineffective therapy       can benefit a patient merely by the suggestion or belief that the therapy is beneficial.  Often this placebo effect is due to a person placing great faith in the effectiveness of       their physician or other health care professional, such as a personal trainer.

Or, it could merely be the result of the extra attention that was given to them during        the treatment process. The mind-body effect is believed to make more of an impact       upon some health conditions than on others.

It works best with psychogenic problems, like depression, anxiety, headaches, asthma, moderate hypertension, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms.  It is also remarkably effective as a painkiller. And, has some influence on the immune system. These are the very same types of illnesses that people in the wellness movement are most concerned about.

A negative placebo effect is sometimes called a nocebo effect, in medicine. If a patient        is skeptical of an intervention, the explanation offered to them for its effectiveness, or      the credibility of the physician administering. . . the treatment then a perfectly effective treatment might prove to be ineffective on a given patient due to a negative placebo effect. In worst case scenarios, a nocebo phenomenon originating from the unfounded fear of the detrimental effects attributed to a particular treatment might actually result in a patient feeling like they are suffering from a negative side effect.
“While the placebo effect refers to health benefits produced by a treatment that should have no effect, patients experiencing the nocebo effect experience the opposite. They presume the worst, health-wise, and that’s just what they get.”
“‘They’re convinced that something is going to go wrong, and it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy,’ said Arthur Barsky, a psychiatrist at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital who published an article earlier this year in the Journal of the American Medical Association beseeching his peers to pay closer attention to the nocebo effect. ‘From a clinical point of view, this is by no means peripheral or irrelevant.'”
“Far more esoteric factors may also shape both the placebo and nocebo response.                A Dutch study, for example, found that most people considered red and orange pills to      be stimulating, with blue and green-colored pills more likely to have a depressant effect.”
The mind-body effect, however, is really more global than the placebo effect of medicine.  It basically hypothesizes that a person’s long term beliefs and fears might either positively or adversely affect their health and wellness.  Suggestions,  desires,  beliefs,  expectations and fears may have biological consequences.
The most likely physical mechanism for the mode of action of the hypothesized mind-body effect is the neuroplasticity of the brain and autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system interacts with the immunal and hormonal systems of the human body.      A preference for responding more with your sympathetic nervous system than with your parasympathetic nervous system to stressful events in your life is being hypothesized by the mind-body effect to create changes in your brain and nervous system over your entire lifetime that conceivable might impact upon your health and wellness, such as a chronic disposition towards headaches.
The mind-body effect is really a special form of optimism. Dispositional optimists, or people with positive outcome expectancies who are fully engaged in living life, were found in a recent study to be about half as likely to die of cardiovascular disease during a 15 year period as men who were more pessimistic by nature.
Obviously, everybody will eventually die some day. Thus, the mind-body effect cannot work miracles against serious diseases or injuries. So, there is a greater potential for the mind-body effect to be adversely affecting your health and wellness, than there is for you to be the recipient of a miraculous cure.
“Ten years ago, researchers stumbled onto a striking finding: Women who believed that they were prone to heart disease were nearly four times as likely to die as women with similar risk factors who didn’t hold such fatalistic views.”
The mind-body effect hypothesizes that it is entirely feasible that a person fearful about   all the negative press on the chronic use of aspirin use could end up with psychosomatic stomach problems, as a result of their fears.
“Fifteen years ago, researchers at three medical centers undertook a study of aspirin and another blood thinner in heart patients and came up with an unexpected result that said little about the heart and much about the brain. . . . When researchers reviewed the data, they found a striking result:

Those warned about the gastrointestinal problems were almost three times as likely to have the side effect. Though the evidence of actual stomach damage such as ulcers was   the same for all three groups,  those with the most information about the prospect of  minor problems were the most likely to experience the pain.”
Similarly, on a positive note, some people might be receiving a wellness benefit from cardiovascular training merely due to the mind-body effect generated by their expectations of success from favorable reporting in the news media.
Expectation plays a key role in the mind-body effect. Expect to be sick all the time, and you just might end up being that way. Expect to be normally healthy all the time, and you just might succeed.

Mind & Body Connection – attitudes affect your health !!!!
by Patty Carrosicia, R.N.
Recent studies show that severe prolonged stress and chronic negative thinking can compromise the immune system. By the same token, studies have also revealed that individuals with a positive attitude toward life tend to become sick less often than those with a negative attitude.
It is also believed that a healthy upbeat attitude can in itself mobilize and stimulate the body’s defenders. For example, in a study of women with breast cancer. Dr. Sandra Levy  at the University of Pittsburgh’s Cancer Institute also found that women who were more depressed had lower natural killer cell activity than those with a hopeful, positive outlook. It was also noted that the women who had experienced a great deal of joy and happiness in their lives also had a higher survival rate.
Even though this concept may be difficult to believe, these studies in the mind-body connection are showing us that our minds play a major role in influencing our level of wellness.
The mind-body concept is defined as the interaction that takes place between our thoughts, our body and our external world. A new science that studies this link is called psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). PNI describes ways in which our emotions and attitude, both positive and negative, can affect our health and also the outcome of medical treatment.

Emotions and Stress
PNI research is concerned with the subtle interactions between our nervous, endocrine and immune systems and disease. The interaction between the different systems are complex but can be explained in a simplified manner.

For example, if you are experiencing fear, anger or other emotions that may increase your stress level, then these unsettling thoughts are picked up by the brain. The brain then stimulates the endocrine system of release hormones that have an adverse effect on the immune cell’s ability to divide. This causes a decline in immune function which may result in your becoming more susceptible to illness.

In a series of studies, Drs. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser and Ron Glaser of Ohio State University College of Medicine, compared also blood tests for immune function of medical students during exams to baseline blood tests done one month prior to finals. A decline was noted in:  (1) natural killer T-cells which are responsible for fighting viruses and even attacking different kinds of tumors, including also cancer (2) immune cells called Tlymphocytes (3) interferon, a component which supports and boosts immune function. This explains why college students suffering from “exam stress” often become ill.

Safe Stress
Researchers are not only defining the intricacies of the mind-body connection, but also  the effective “inner healing” methods such as relaxation techniques, mental imagery or visualization, and attitude adjustment exercises. These methods will help keep the stress hormones in check so the immune system can function properly.
The main strategy in dealing with stress is to identify and remove or reduce its source. Identification  may be  relatively easy,  but elimination  could be a challenge especially    when the source is your job. So, it is important to find ways to reduce the level of stress. Relaxation, including deep breathing, muscle stretching and meditation, will help you practice safer stress.
An acute or prolonged tense state may cause the heart rate and blood pressure to   increase, a dry mouth, enlarged pupils, sweaty palms, and fast shallow “chest” breathing. However, slow, deep “abdominal” breathing helps break the tension cycle which enables body functions to return to normal. Allowing yourself to take ten slow deep breaths at tense times, as well as throughout the day, will help you to stay loose and relaxed.

Muscle stretching is another component necessary in breaking the tension cycle.          Major areas where we store tension include the back, face, neck, shoulders and chest. Learning and practicing stretch techniques in concert with deep breathing will help        you release muscle tightness and tension.

Visualization
Another effective mind-body technique is mental imagery or visualization. Basically, it involves the power of your imagination using sights, sounds, feelings and smell to create   a desired state in your mind. According to several scientists, the mind doesn’t differentiate between fears, fantasies and physical reality as we define it. Therefore, as you continuously visualize a positive healing image, you may significantly contribute to your own well-being.

Dr. Carl Simonton and Stephanie Matthews- Simonton, authors of Getting Well Again, encourage their cancer patients to visualize their cancer as broken up hamburger meat and their white blood cells as dogs devouring the hamburger. The patients whom practiced this in conjunction with their medical treatment. . . lived twice as long as the patients who only received conventional treatment.

Meditation
A stress releaser called meditation is described as restful alertness; integration of mind, body and spirit; focused silence; and a form of prayer. Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Quantum Healing and Perfect Health, emphasizes that it is not possible to clear the mind of negative beliefs or thoughts at one’s intellectual level. An angry mind can’t conquer its own anger, fear can’t squelch its own fear, and so on.

However, meditation is a powerful technique that guides you beyond the negative thoughts and agitations of the busy mind. It allows you to become “unstuck” from your fear and other disturbing emotions. From a medical point of view, the effectiveness of meditation was studied by Herbert Benson, M.D., author of several wellness-oriented books. One of the studies involved the practice of Transcendental Meditation in patients with hypertension. These patients sat quietly for 20 minutes twice a day, before breakfast and dinner and repeated a special word, or mantra, silently to themselves, allowing their thoughts to come and go. Dr. Benson observed a significant drop in their blood pressure from borderline high to normal range.

Other studies have shown that practicing meditation on a regular basis helps relieve general fatigue, and the stress that can lead to heart attacks, strokes and hardening of      the arteries. https://www.spring.org.uk/2013/11/10-remarkable-ways-meditation-helps-your-mind.php

Meditation is one of the best ways that you can clear your mind and is time to release  what no longer serves us!. It helps with spiritual balance as much as it helps with both physical and emotional balance as well. Meditation is a great way to help people think clearly, it has helped many people with there mind, spiritual and emotional balances.

David Rosenthal, MD, medical director of Dana-Farber’s Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies, chats live about acupuncture, meditation, yoga, massage, and other forms of integrative therapy used to ease cancer-related symptoms stress & anxiety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=41&v=xn4erH9GCM4

Attitude Adjustment
Means the release of the negative and the embracement of the positive. It is also very  important to emphasize that it is normal and natural to feel fear, anger and stress in life. When we remain in this frame of mind, we experience lack of control, hopelessness and helplessness. The question is how do we shift back into positive feelings, hope and being    in charge again?

The first step is the awareness that you are stuck in a pattern of worry, fear and tension – ”How do I feel and why?”  It is essential to be honest about what you are feeling because feelings, including the negative ones, are just feelings – they are not right or wrong, good or bad.

Next, these emotions need to be validated and expressed in healthy responsible ways. Talking or writing them out may help you release the unwanted emotions. Also letting go allows more space for uplifting, loving feelings. Affirming powerful positive statements of a desired state will fill up that space inside of you.  Say,  sing  and write  your affirmations regularly until they become a part of you. For example, if you believe you heal slowly, then your affirmation would be “I heal rapidly”. When we emphasize our good, we get more of it. Use your words to your best advantage. It’s your choice.

Ongoing research will continue to unravel the dynamics of the mind-body connection. In the meantime, learning and practicing these methods will help you actively participate in your own healing process. https://www.verywellmind.com/benefits-of-positive-thinking-2794767

Until then,  I am going to leave you in the capable hands of Kate Bowler,  This message is beautiful!  https://katebowler.com/cost-brave-love/

Kate Bowler is an associate professor at Duke Divinity School  and who was diagnosed         with colon cancer. This interview really resonated with me and probably even more with some of you. She is 39, has a young child, and her interview might be a great inspiration, especially for those of you with children.

Her book,  “Everything Happens For a Reason and Other Lies I Have Loved,”  is now available on Amazon (today is the final day for a triple down on your purchases at https://smile.amazon.com/ch/87-0763851,  I hope some of you  will have time to listen     to this interview — https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/03/01/kate-bowler raw and beautiful insight from Stage 4 cancer survivor.

James Bentley Kate I was introduced to your book and loved it. I also found myself wanting to reach through the book and chat with you about another wonderful Canadian, Jean Vanier. As I learned more about the Prosperity Gospel through your book I kept thinking that Jean Vanier and the l’arche community would be a wonderful and being transformed antidote to the Prosperity Gospel. I spent seven years living in community with l’arche and now work with hospice all to follow Jean’s message of meeting Christ in the wounded and forgotten and being transformed.  ~Anonymous 🙂

Who has found the Magical Key 

The Subconscious Mind Is The Storehouse Of Memory…

When I was down in Alabama in June visiting with ~ talking to Mallory Davenport.             I thought of many things during our conversation about some of the highlights of my research over the last twelve years. I also wondered how someone can go from being bedridden, wheel chair, walker to cane and back to being complete once again. With           in walk and talk I realized Mallory may have mastered a healing mindset. 🙂

CONQUER YOUR NEGATIVE EMOTION & DISEASE!!!

Yes, I called you a warrior, because that’s exactly how I have come to view people dealing with chronic illness. These warriors display courage in the face of fear and the uncertainty that is a constant part of their life. They retain their compassion and propensity to look for good in the world despite being mistreated or ostracized by others. They smile through the pain and make jokes to help put everyone at ease when they are imploding inside. They’ve become familiar with emotions and experiences many people may only see once or twice in their lifetime.  http://www.enlightenedfeelings.com/body.html

But unfortunately, warriors can also feel like a burden from time to time. Whether that feeling is prompted by the insensitive comment of a family member or a misinformed post of a Facebook friend, it can get us at our core.  It harshly whispers,  “You are not adequate. You are different in a bad way. All that you are and all that you are able to do is not enough for the people you love and the society you live in.”

However, in those low moments, we must challenge that negative way of thinking.          We must not let the misguided views of others to take up residence in our subconscious. There’s a wonderful quote by the author Max Lucado that sums it up perfectly: “You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.” These words imply we are all inherently worthy, because we’re   all human beings. And that is a truth we should believe in.

It’s a reality we will feel inadequate or burdensome at points throughout our journey,      but what’s important is how we respond to those feelings.  Unfortunately,  we live in a society that says if we can’t do what everyone else can do, we are somehow less. People often forget we didn’t choose the hand we were dealt — it was chosen for us.

Judgment is freely passed onto people who aren’t viewed as “active, and also contributing members of society.” But what they don’t understand is we have other ways of contributing to the greater good. Sometimes, it’s just by being who we are and passing on our beliefs by example.            THE CELLULAR LEVEL OF HEALING !!!

During our walk and talk: I thought about Dr. Thomas Lodi, a brilliant cancer doctor who has a presentation called “Stop Making Cancer.” You can check out his clinic in Arizona at http://www.anoasisofhealing.com or watch his speech for yourself on YouTube:

Dr. Lodi’s concept of “stop making cancer” is so powerful and simple that I borrowed it for this article (with credit, of course) and expanded it to all degenerative diseases. If you want to be healthy, stop making disease!

HOW WE CATCH OUR OWN DISEASE

It also seems too simple: In order to achieve lasting health, simply stop making disease. But the concept is foreign to most people: Making disease? Why would I be making the disease? 

Mainstream consumers, you see, have been trained by the medical industry to believe   that disease strikes spontaneously, without any real cause.  One day you have nothing wrong with you, and then suddenly the next day you’re diagnosed with a breast cancer tumor. Shazam! It happens just like being struck by lightning… (and it’s not your fault, you’re told — there’s nothing you could have done about it…)

Sigmund Freud was one of the first who gave an insight into the functioning of the subconscious mind,  linking it with the causes of various diseases.  You can only heal the body by healing the consciousness. All diseases originates from within, therefore, can only be healed from within. Medicine only facilitates healing but it does not heal. What matters is not the medicine, but rather how you think of it. All disease that manifests in the outer, physical body has arisen from within the conscious or subconscious mind. They are the effects of your thoughts and feelings.

RELEASE THE EMOTION AND THE DISEASE WILL DISAPPEAR..

Stress is the main cause of “dis-ease” which results in a lack of ease in the mind and body. If you experience stress in your consciousness with your thoughts and emotions, it will manifest in your physical body in some way. Worry causes stress. If you worry about your health, you will remain unhealthy and your health will worsen. You do not have to make yourself healthy because health is your natural state.

Your beliefs affect what your consciousness allows blockage to manifest in your physical reality. If you believe you can “catch a disease” such as a cold, that you will catch it. If you know that you cannot catch a cold or flu no matter where you go or who you — are exposed to, then   you never do. This understanding gives you the power to enter into any place that has the presence of disease without fear of contracting any of it because you know it can’t attach itself onto you without your consciousness allowing it.

When you take a medicine with the mindset of “I have a disease and therefore I am taking this medicine for it”, the medicine reinforces the disease. When you take a medicine while thinking about the disease you are hoping to cure, you are attracting more of the same.

But if you believe that taking the medicine will cure you, it will. This is how the placebo effect works. It is not the substance contained in the medicine that brings about the “cure”, but the belief that it will cure you.

How We Collect Our Own Illnesses

People collect a smorgasbord of active memories in a lifetime that collectively will compound any health problem they have.  These problems will eventually create health issues in a patient who seems to have no particular reason for getting sick at that point in their life.  The sickness can be mental,  physical  or spiritually base and  simply triggered by watching a movie that portrayed an event similar to a painful subconscious memory stored in the patient’s body mind.

                                                                                                                         The etiology of the disease was:

1. The child was abused and never fully resolved the emotional factors involved even though her relationship with the father was currently ‘normal’.
2. The emotional memory was stored in the body and triggered subconsciously by             the scene in the movie.
3. Stressful emotions were released creating physiological changes in the body that weakened the immune system (virus), depressed the heart emotions (depression),          and weakened the adrenals (tiredness). Because the emotion was trying to emerge          and not being recognized by the mind, the body diverted it into generalized pain.       (Many pains are simply the body’s way of diverting focus so that we won’t experience emotional trauma.)

The body mind is an incredibly complex system of mental, emotional, and physical dynamic interaction.  At last,  techniques such as the BodyTalk system which provide effective ways to simplify those interactions and reduce the negative elements quickly    and permanently.

The Science of Stress and How Our Emotions Affect Our Susceptibility to Disease
Within Dr. Esther Sternberg  groundbreaking work on the link between the central nervous system and the immune system, exploring how immune molecules made in        the blood can trigger brain function that profoundly affects our emotions, AND has revolutionized our understanding of the integrated being we call a human self.

In the immeasurably revelatory The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health      and Emotions (public library), Sternberg examines the interplay of our emotions and      our physical health, mediated by that seemingly nebulous yet, it turns out, remarkably concrete experience called stress.

The same parts of the brain that control the stress response … play an important role         in susceptibility and resistance to inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. And since it       is these parts of the brain that also play a role in depression, we can begin to understand why it is that many patients with inflammatory diseases may also experience depression  at different times in their lives…

Rather than seeing the psyche as the source of such illnesses, we are discovering that  while feelings don’t directly cause or cure disease, the biological mechanisms underlying them may cause or contribute to disease. Thus, many of the nerve pathways and molecules underlying both psychological responses and inflammatory disease are the same, making predisposition to one set of illnesses likely to go along with predisposition to the other.

 Because we are all human beings,  we can’t help but experience negative emotions         from time to time,  causing the massive happy walls we build to come crashing down. Repressing emotions like resentment, anger, and guilt may block our energy.  Also, it      can result in physical manifestations like chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, ulcers, and other forms of sufferings.

In addition, repressing these negative emotions lowers your vibrational frequency. Therefore, understanding that emotions represent a physical reality within you will accelerate the healing process.

In addition, repressing these negative emotions lowers your vibrational frequency. Therefore, understanding that emotions represent a physical reality within you will accelerate the healing process.

According to a study conducted by psychologists at Harvard School of Public Health       and the University of Rochester, suppressing emotions may increase the risk of dying  from heart disease and certain types of cancer.  In fact,  by suppressing those feelings          of frustration,  anger,  anxiety,  sadness and so on, you are also basically admitting to yourself that you feel guilt over having those negative emotions.

More importantly, when you try to suppress an emotion, you lose all sorts of valuable    data about your experience of that emotion, that makes learning from the experience   more guesswork than it needs to be.

It is believed that the root cause of all emotional issues lies in the subconscious mind,    and one of the fastest and most effective methods to access the subconscious mind is through meditation.

Meditation and Emotions—the Perfect Partnership!!! 

Meditation allows you to become mindful of your thoughts & feelings, gaining power    over them, hence, freeing yourself to work toward your highest potential, pursue what   you truly aspire to in life and become the person you want to be.

Can you cure your self from life threatening health problems? Can you reverse ageing? Darryl D’Souza, an expert in natural therapy and also pioneer in integrated wellness and spirituality talks about how he reversed ageing by following simple laws of nature about food and nutrition. How the food that we eat today has become our poison and how we  can reclaim our lives and good health.

Darryl is the author of “Become Healthy or Extinct”, a book about reversing chronic illnesses with integrated natural therapy. The book has followers in over 150 countries.   An engineer by profession, however, drawn into the world of natural therapies through  failed attempts by modern medicine to cure him of some serious illnesses at a young age. Darryl is a pioneer in Integrated Wellness & Spirituality and conducts life-transforming talks & workshops that expose the real causes of widespread sickness in society and he gives you breakthrough ideas on how to become part of the solution. . . instead of being part of the problem.

Dr. Alan Ross Hugenot talks about his near-death experience and how he ended up being  a medium.  He explains the nature and capabilities of our consciousness, and why science has to change its viewpoint to really understand it. He is also the President of the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies.  In this episode he discusses religion, the afterlife, mediumship, physics, consciousness, quantum electrodynamics and non-locality.

Terry Yoder, medium clairvoyant, talks about his life as a medium, and explains how he    is able to connect with people from the other side. This was an amazing conversation and there is so much in this episode that was fascinating and interesting!

THE BOTTOMLINE: Can we survive death ? What is the nature of our consciousness ?
“Beyond Our Sight” is an independent documentary that ALSO talks about near-death experiences, human consciousness, and the possibility of communication with other dimensions.

An Oregon woman who accidentally drove her SUV off a 200-foot California                    cliff detailed how she survived for a week while stranded on a remote beach.

A 23-year-old Oregon woman who had been missing since July 6 was found Friday       after her car was spotted over a cliff on Highway 1 near Big Sur,  and according to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office. Angela Hernandez was reportedly driving her white  2011 Jeep Patriot from Oregon to Southern California to visit her family and when she disappeared July 6, officials said. The California Highway Patrol conducted a search of   the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road area and the Big Sur coastline with an H70 helicopter    on Thursday. Hernandez was found in that location Friday night.

SFGate.com reported footage from businesses along Highway 1 helped San Mateo    County Sheriff’s Office investigators determine Hernandez drove as far south as the Carmel area on July 6, hours after she texted she was leaving Half Moon Bay, officials    and  Hernandez’s sister  said  Thursday.  Before deputies reviewed  surveillance video, Hernandez’s last known whereabouts  were in a parking lot  behind a Safeway in Half  Moon Bay. She texted her sister the morning of July 6 that she had slept there the night before and was getting back on the road, authorities said.

On July 6, Angela Hernandez, 23, was passing through Big Sur, California, when a small animal darted in front of her, causing her to swerve. The area where Hernandez swerved has no shoulder, California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Jessica Madueno said, causing her vehicle to plunge off the side of the cliff.

In a Facebook post about the ordeal, Hernandez wrote that she blacked out after the   crash and when she came to, her smashed vehicle was filling with water. “I was still in    my car and I could feel water rising over my knees.  My head hurt and when I touched       it, I found blood on my hands,”  Hernandez wrote. “I swam to the shore and fell asleep     for an unknown amount of time.”

Injured but able walk, Hernandez said she patrolled the beach — a desolate stretch            of rocks and sand covered by fog and nearly invisible to drivers hundreds of feet above —  and climbed rocks looking for another person while screaming for help.  Hernandez said     on  or around the third day she was stuck on the beach, Angela began to feel the effects of dehydration.  Hernandez found a 10-inch radiator hose to siphon off water from a nearby natural spring, Madueno said. Hernandez said during the day she would climb a rock and call out to far-off cars she could see for help.

“I could see cars driving across the cliff and felt like if I could yell just loud enough,        that one could hear or see me. That’s all it would take to make it back to my family,” Hernandez wrote. “Just one person noticing me. “After a week of walking the beach, avoiding hot rocks, and calling out to cars in the distance for help, her prayers were    finally answered.Chad and Chelsea Moore were hiking along the beach when they       heard Hernandez’s cries for help. “I heard a faint cry for help, and I turned and we           saw Angela standing in the rocks,” Chelsea Moore said.

“She said she woke up that morning and knew it was going to be a good day, and                   I think I started crying.” Chad Moore stayed with Hernandez while Chelsea Moore           ran to get help. When rescue teams arrived, they had to hoist Hernandez up using        ropes before airlifting her to the hospital, where doctors discovered she suffered a         brain hemorrhage, fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, broken collar bones & ruptured     blood vessels.  https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/article214953875.html 

Despite the extent of her injuries, Hernandez said is “sitting here in the hospital,    laughing with my sister until she makes broken bones hurt. “Also I’ve experienced something so unique and terrifying that I can’t imagine there isn’t a bigger purpose           for me in this life,” she wrote. “I don’t know, you guys, life is incredible.”

Miracles Happen!!!

Meet Mighty Miss Maya. 

Mighty Miss Maya is a four year old girl from Traverse City with cerebral palsy–              and she’s been waiting her whole life to take her first steps. After being told she’s         likely to  never walk, Mighty Miss Maya took her first steps ever and keeps taking         more.

A 4-year-old girl from Traverse City with cerebral palsy beamed with excitement as         she walked independently for the first time.  “I’m walking, yes!,”  she shouted while    taking her first steps in a viral video that was posted by her family.  It was the first         time that Maya Tisdale walked on her own since being diagnosed with cerebral palsy before turning 2 years old.

“I even took a big step,” she said.

 Ann Tisdale, Maya’s mother, said she didn’t expect Maya to do her       exercises without her cane and started walking on Saturday when she started        recording. Maya practices her exercises daily for physical therapy.

First Steps – 4 years, 10 months ️ ️️ I can’t even put into words how we are feeling.   Nothing seems to fit the enormity of this moment for us. We are beyond proud of            our Mighty Girl. #sdrchangeslives #beemighty #impossibleisnothing #firststeps #cerebralpalsy

“We were practicing her sit-to-stand (exercise) and she had never actually done that without her cane, so I got the video camera out,” Ann Tisdale said. “I called my husband   to the room so he could watch her do that, and he was the one who prompted her to take   a step, and she just started doing it, so was pretty amazing because she did 2 new things.”

Tisdale said her family was surprised about Maya’s improvements.

“We were really just in shock because we didn’t think that it would happen for a long    time, if ever, until seeing her doing it,” Tisdale said. “Our jaws were on the floor and our eyes were super big.  We were just really excited,  we didn’t want to start screaming and crying because we wanted her to keep practicing.”

Maya Tisdale was born in 2013 as a micro preemie, weighing 1 pound and 10 ounces. According to the family’s website, Maya spent 87 days in the hospital before she could come home. However, when she did come home, Ann Tisdale noticed that her daughter wasn’t doing any of her motor skills, like sitting up and walking properly.

Maya was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy,       which is a type of cerebral palsy that causes the muscles in the hips, legs and feet to           be tight or spastic.  Despite the diagnosis, Tisdale said,  Maya has always remained    strong and independent.

“She’s a very independent kid, and she’s a very ‘I can do it’ kid,” Tisdale said.

“Having two older brothers, she wants to do what they’re doing and she sees that           they do everything on their own and she just wants to be like them.”

In May, her family traveled to Missouri where Maya underwent surgery with                     Dr. T.S. Park, one of the nation’s leading pediatric neurosurgeons and a pioneer of  selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery,  according to the family’s website. The surgery            was intended to reduce Maya’s spasticity and give her the ability to live with less             pain and greater mobility.

“There are other hospitals, but St. Louis Children’s Hospital is considered the best            for this surgery and Dr. Park has pioneered a different technique for this surgery.            We wanted to go where we felt she would have the best team.”

Tisdale said that Maya, who has been given the name Mighty Miss Maya because of her strength, is still determined to permanently walk independently one day.”She practices every day,” Tisdale said. “Cerebral palsy, she still has that. It’s not something that goes away because you’re walking on your own. She’s still taking steps and getting stronger. Hopefully, she’ll be walking independently at some point.” ️

The Truth about the Life We Live !!!

Michael Crossland is a fighter, a believer in miracles, and a defier of odds. After being diagnosed with incurable cancer, doctors told his mom,“ There’s no chance of survival.  Take your boy home and allow him to live the next few months with his family.”

He was also told every day that he would never be able to do anything —   play baseball, go to school, live a normal life. Nothing about the doctors’ projections gave Michael any sense of hope for his future.

Michael’s Amazing Story:

“I would pray every night that I wouldn’t wake up in the morning,” he admitted.                 “I just wanted God to take me.”  Michael was given a 96 percent death rate, but              that’s not what  his mom cared about. She focused on his 4 percent survival rate.

However, her decision-making road surely wasn’t an easy one. A new drug that                had yet to be tested on humans came out,  and Michael’s mom decided she wanted           her son to be part of the trial Twenty-five kids were injected with that drug and one            by one, they died. After the 24th passed away, Michael’s mother was faced with the      most terrifying and courageous choice she would ever make.

Watch the video to see how the rest of Michael’s odd-defying life story pans out,              and be sure to share his incredible dose of inspiration with your friends.
Michael Crossland – Live Your Best Life

Diagnosed before his first birthday and spending over ¼ of his life in hospital, doctors  told him school and sport were not options. Infection and fatigue were too great a risk, reaching his teenage years would be a miracle. His only wish was to lead a normal life    and be able to do all the things that other kids took for granted every day.

But he had a dream and the undying determination

to achieve the impossible…

No matter the size of the obstacles that lay ahead. Now, an accomplished businessman, National Ambassador for Camp Quality, Australian of the Year finalist, Australia Day Ambassador and international hall of fame inductee, Michael inspires people from all walks of life.

It is no doubt he has a heart for giving and a skill to engage people from all walks of        life. Within the last five years he has gone from being one of the youngest State Sales Development Managers for one of the largest companies in the world, to running five banks then leaving his finance career to follow his dreams in making a global impact       and he certainly has done that!

from his own story …

Before Michael was even one year old, he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer of       the central nervous system – a tumour had taken over half of his tiny body. The chance      of Michael surviving was virtually non-existent. He started chemotherapy at 1 year old  and by his second birthday, doctors had basically given up all hope. His only hope was taking part in a drug trial program – a program which Michael was the only participant     to survive the treatment. Although he survived, he was left with some permanent scars – only one lung, a damaged heart and a sensitive immune system.

Michael Crossland sets an example for all of us. He’s a man who has faced (and still faces) extreme challenges in life, but he never gives up. And despite his own obstacles, he always puts others before himself and gives so much to people in need.

A true inspiration. A true hero.

In 2006 when I was experiencing severe depression I went to Carey Ohio and prayed the rosary before mass asking God for a peace of mind. Through power of prayer when I drove home.  I visualized a website and Facebook group page that would help those with cancer. Getting out of this depression required a change of mindset from what was. . . . to what could be in the future!!!            Videos of a gift of contrast ~ Abraham Hicks

To heal we have to learn how to “die” — to let go of all that we were — to embrace becoming a new, healed “whole” self.

Healing usually happens spontaneously, by accessing the deepest recesses of our physiology, beyond our conscious awareness. Awareness is what is impactful,  just be  aware of everything, bad thoughts, good thoughts, the birds flying amongst us or gentle breeze caressing your skin, this is YOUR freedom FROM DIS-EASE. Our beliefs about healing are crucial to all aspects of wellness.        Specific emotions and cancer!!!

Our entire molecular system is mediated by hormones – the “molecules of emotion” –   triggered by our thoughts and beliefs.

Autosuggestion is a psychological technique related to the placebo effect, developed by apothecary Émile Coué at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a form of self-induced suggestion in which individuals guide their own thoughts, feelings, or behavior.

The technique is often used in self-hypnosis. Coué graduated with a degree in pharmacology in 1876 and worked as an apothecary at Troyes from 1882 to 1910.

When he began working at Troyes, he quickly discovered what later came to be known     as the placebo effect. Ordered by our thoughts and beliefs. Our brains are also hardwired based on our beliefs, which change our neurotransmitter balance.

Autosuggestion is the principle that if you imagine something possible, it becomes true. And its effectiveness is well-documented.  For instance,  it’s been reported that 60% of chemotherapy patients start feeling sick before they begin treatment.  It also works in     the reverse – if you imagine something to be impossible, it will become impossible.

The most-publicized case of autosuggestion is Sam Shoeman, who was diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer and given only months to live. Shoeman died within the expected timeframe.   Yet the post-mortem revealed the diagnosis was wrong – Sam’s tumor was  tiny and had not spread at all.

Doctors told Sam Shoeman of Nashville, Tennessee, that he had just a few months to live. Medical scans showed extensive cancerous growths  on  his left liver lobe.  Sam Shoeman was devastated. He only wanted one thing: to survive three months until Christmas. If he could spend the holidays at home with the ones he loved, his life would be complete. Sam Shoeman had a meaningful Christmastime with his family. Then he was readmitted to the hospital on New Year’s Day. Within 24 hours, Sam Shoeman was dead.

There’s nothing strange about this true story … except that Sam Shoeman never had terminal cancer.  That’s right.  He had no physical reason to die.  Sam Shoeman thought      he had terminal cancer because of his liver scan, but … it turns out that his liver scan was botched. The autopsy revealed a tiny spot of cancerous tissue that could not have possibly killed Sam Shoeman. So what killed Sam Shoeman?

Doctors determined that he died of psychosomatic causes. His mind told his body when  he was supposed to die, and his body obeyed, right on cue.  Similarly,  researchers have documented “voodoo deaths,” such as that of a Maori tribal woman who ate a piece of fruit and an African man who ate a wild hen. Both died within 24 hours of learning that the harmless food they ate was cursed with a killing taboo.

Like Sam Shoeman, both of these people’s sense of panic and helplessness was reinforced by the absolute conviction of friends and relatives that the victim was doomed and would surely die.

Like Sam Shoeman, their hearts stopped beating because their expectations became a   self-fulfilling prophecy.

Like yin and yang, voodoo death is the dark side of a force that can also be used for good. The placebo effect is one expression of that powerful force.

Cases such as Shoeman’s may be extreme examples of a far more widespread phenomenon. Many patients who suffer harmful side effects, for instance, may do             so only because they have been told to expect them.

What’s more, people who believe they have a high risk of certain diseases are more       likely to get them than people with the same risk factors who believe they have a low     risk. It seems modern witch doctors wear white coats and carry stethoscopes.

Patients in double-blind trials who believed they were receiving an effective drug               or surgery – but who in fact received fake treatment – actually had ulcers healed,        blood pressure reduced, bronchi dilated and warts reduced. Bald men who believed      they were receiving legitimate treatment – but were not – actually grew hair.

Similarly, a large number of patients who were told they might experience negative side effects of a drug or treatment – but who in fact received fake medication – experienced  the same symptoms they were warned of, which included fatigue, vomiting, headaches, memory loss and more.

Worse yet, surgery patients who were “convinced” of their impending death usually       died during surgery, while patients who were merely “unusually apprehensive”   about death, survived. You literally hold the power to shape your future. The question      is, what will you do with this power?

Start “thriving” — or in other words, live life fully, from the day you are diagnosed.
See yourself as growing/ regenerating… not just new positive cells, but also new attitudes, new behaviors. How can you be “reinventing” yourself? Maybe cancer will push you in new and exciting directions… changes in the way you behave, the work you do, the services you offer. What does thriving mean to you?

So, perhaps you have been diagnosed or perhaps your loved one has been diagnosed.          I urge you to not panic, but rather to begin this new curious adventure in your life. Nothing is accomplished by delving into the worst case scenarios. Well, yes, something’s accomplished — you scare yourself and everyone else around you. That’s not great for healing. Mindset is the most important part of the journey to heal.

A Healing MINDSET!!! 

What do I mean about a mindset? The dictionary defines mindset as: a fixed mental
attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations       of situations.  It refers to habits of mind formed by previous experience,  an intention        or inclination, your outlook. So, how do you approach “bad news” when you get it?

• Do you wring your hands?
• Do you exaggerate?
• Do you reach out to others?
• Do you hide under the blanket?
• Do you go into denial?

Truly, how do you handle it?

FIRST STEP FOR MANAGING YOUR MINDSET:

Take it on fully. in order to beat it you have to take bad news and stay positive through it.
I believe the key to changing any problem is to change the beliefs that caused it originally.  I am constantly learning more about my beliefs  and how they affect my own   life – this is an ongoing process which will continue throughout my life.

Using our minds to heal ourselves requires mental focus that supports, also facilitates,  and in some cases, activates healing. Our thoughts have been shown to alter our neurochemistry.

The placebo effect (positive outcomes from positive expectations) and nocebo effect (negative outcomes from negative expectations) are well-documented, and in some    cases, have even shown more dramatic results than the so-called “active” drugs.

So with that, here are seven ways to heal with the mind:

1. Dream

I believe all change starts with a dream.

Dreaming our way to health may sound unrealistic, yet the realm of the subconscious         is accessed by dreaming, and that’s where a lot of our bodily functions reside.

The dreaming phase is mind-expanding, and your special way of accessing a world             of imagination and possibility.

Dream your way to wellness.

2. Intention

Create a vision of healing for yourself in your mind’s eye.

Visualization (guided imagery) techniques work because the mind thinks in pictures.
Intend for the healing to manifest in your life. Intention is powerful – it propels you forward in your journey, and creates a clear and powerful goal.                                        Intention stimulates desire.

3. Desire

Sustained positive emotions are integral to healing. Desire is an emotional trigger to keep you on your journey. The stronger the desire, the more potent is the force of will that will keep you going even when times get tough.

4. Mindfulness

Mental focus removes other barriers that distract you. It brings the fullness of your energy into the present moment. Focusing your attention on one thing will enable you to bring all your resources to its achievement.

Meditate on transforming yourself via sacred healing.

5. Believe

You can change any aspect of your health through changing your belief about it.

To stimulate healing, it helps to believe you are worthy of being healed. It’s essential          to believe you can be healed. What other beliefs can you create to help you to heal?

6. Hope

Hope sustains you even in the darkest hour. When it seems all is lost, we cling to hope.

7. Tap into the soul

Healing is accessing our spiritual nature, nurturing grace, and the deepest aspect                of surrendering within our souls. Healing engenders peace no matter our situation –          a pure acceptance of our challenges with our blessings.

Surrender to a Higher Love. Relax away all stressful thoughts and doubts.

Tap into the Universe ask it to assist you in your healing.

(Psalm 91:11)

Call on your angels to protect you.

You are living in a walking, talking miracle, and you mind is at the helm!             Kelly Noonan Gores explores the mind-body connection in her documentary HEAL.

Director Kelly Noonan Gores’ documentary takes us on a scientific and spiritual journey
where we discover that our thoughts,  beliefs,  and emotions have a huge impact on our health and ability to heal. The latest science reveals we are not victims of unchangeable genes, nor should we buy into a scary prognosis.

The fact is we have more control over our health and life than we have been taught to believe. This film will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature    of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all.  HEAL not only taps into   the brilliant minds of leading scientists  and spiritual teachers  but follows three people     on  actual high stakes healing journeys.  Healing can be extremely complex  and deeply personal,  but it can also happen spontaneously in a moment.  Through these inspiring    and emotional stories, we find out what works, what doesn’t, and why.

She wants to empower and inspire people dealing with illness by showing them what          is actually possible,  and how huge of an impact our thoughts,  beliefs,  and emotions       have on our health!  This episode is about how changing your mind can change your     body and how shifting your perspective can change your life.                                                                        Listen to Bulletproof Radio: Episode #461 

When we heal, a dimension is activated beyond what we can see with the eyes.  It also requires us  to  surrender  what we wish to become. Our ability to heal is far beyond what most people believe. Reprogramming your beliefs is a deep, constant, and mystical path requiring full immersion, dedication and commitment.

What does it take to truly heal?

Kelly Turner has recently adapted her NY Times bestselling book ‘Radical Remission’     into a fictional, feature-length screenplay entitled OPEN-ENDED TICKET.
This emotionally moving film tells the story of a cancer patient  who takes her best friend on an around-the-world journey to try to find her estranged father before it’s too late.   In their race against time, a string of unexpected events makes them question everything  they thought they knew about life, death, and healing.

Dr. Alia Crum overcomes her nerves and delivers a great TedTalk,

She says the biggest game changer is “YOU, by harnessing the power of your mind.”       She explores scientific results that show the influence of the mindset on the body, and    how changing the subjective mindset produced different outcomes. Dr. Crum’s work is inspired in part by the placebo effect, and has implications that stretch far beyond the realm of medicine.

Dr. Crum is a professor, psychologist, and researcher investigating how mindsets affect health and behavior.

Dr. Crum’s research focuses on how changes in subjective mindsets—the lenses through which information is perceived, organized, and interpreted—can alter objective reality through behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms.

Her work is, in part, inspired by research on the placebo effect, a notable and consistent demonstration of the ability of the mindset to elicit healing properties in the body. She is interested in understanding how mindsets affect important outcomes outside the realm    of medicine, in the domains of behavioral health and organizational behavior.
