As I recall, when I first heard about Mind ? Body Connection, I didn’t understand it. I certainly attempted to comprehend this concept, yet it was still unclear to me.

During my Journey of Personal Development, this topic resurfaced and now it’s becoming clearer. As I reflect on my life and think about the different events that have occurred thus far, there are many Mind ? Body Connections that have taken place in my life. However, at the time these events occurred, I wasn’t aware of them. If you don’t mind, I would like to share an experience that stands out for me, which took place a few years ago. I’m taking a deep breath, so here goes…

For the first time in my life, I was told I required major surgery. The healing process would take about 8 to 12 weeks and the long-term healing would be about 1 to 2 years. I wouldn’t be able to drive or do much of anything, but focus on healing. Of course, I had a long list of questions for my doctor and wanted to know the pro’s & con’s of having the surgery versus not having it.

As I stated earlier, this was the first time in my life I was faced with undergoing surgery & major surgery at that. As I continued asking questions, I noticed she really didn’t mind answering them. She was very patient with me. I didn’t know this at the time, but as my "Mind" started relaxing, my "Body" followed suit. I was about mid-way through my list of questions & her response went something like this… "From my experience, when patients go into surgery with a bright outlook they tend to heal faster than those who look at the surgery as a negative." Hummmm… did you FEEL that? I just got goose bumps. As you probably have already guessed, I felt like I didn’t need to ask any additional questions. Why? Because, in that moment I felt like everything would turn out okay! I couldn’t explain the FEELING at the time, but I felt absolutely certain that everything was all good!

My mindset changed from being inquisitive to being focused on how great the surgery will be and how soon my body will heal. Therefore, I felt my recovery would be much less than the 8 to 12 weeks. So, do you see how my "Mindset" & "Belief" changed, which created a higher vibration of positive energy? This higher vibration of positive energy was transferred into my body on a cellular level, which allowed me to have a speedy and healthy recovery! Yes, I was experiencing a positive dose of Mind ? Body Connection! Overall, my surgery and recovery went extremely well & my doctor was amazed. I felt truly Blessed & Grateful to have such a remarkable experience.

I’m sure you’ve heard this phrase used before ~ "Energy is everything and everything is energy."

Mind ? Body Connection is truly a form of energy! And, it’s up to us to determine if we want to experience "positive" or "negative" energy in our lives. If you search for the positive in life, positive energy will find you!

Daily we have different experiences in our lives and my question to you is: Are you "Aware" or "Unaware" of your daily Mind ? Body Connections? For me, I use to be unaware, but now I’m practicing to be more present in my life. I believe in choosing positive thoughts in order to attract more positive energy!

In closing, the "Mind" is very powerful! Being more aware of our thoughts allows us to choose "positive" or "negative" thoughts, which transfers those thoughts & feelings "energetically" at a cellular level to our bodies. Ultimately, having an empowering Mind ? Body Connection!
