Our Stress Starts With A Lie -The Curing Codes
It’s simply amazing how much effort most of us have made trying to change problem areas in our lives! Scientists, self-help gurus, even religion, tell us our lives can be improved by focusing on one of five areas: beliefs, thoughts, behaviors, physiology, or feelings.
The Focus Has Been on Symptoms
What if I told you that problems in the areas I just named are actually symptoms of the root cause of our unhappy, unhealthy lives? Not only that, the conventional wisdom which tells us it takes willpower to change those areas is just plain wrong! Think about it for a minute. Why is it we find row upon row of self-help books in most bookstores? Why are there literally thousands of websites touting the benefits you can achieve in one of these five symptomatic areas?
Reducing Symptoms Is A Short-term Solution
It’s because none of the things we do to change those areas are permanent! Isn’t that true in your life? How many diets have been on? How much time have you spent examining your thoughts and feelings in therapy? How long have you been trying to find peace by absorbing religious beliefs? If you’re like most of us, the answer is “Too Long!” Here’s the real heartbreaker — it’s possible, with enough mental or physical effort, to experience some improvement in any of those areas. But all that work actually leads us away from the true source of those problems.
Five Basic Concepts
Before I reveal what that powerful source is, I’d like you to agree with me on some basic concepts.
Truth is rational thought about something.
Feelings are subjective experiences about something.
Behaviors are actions moving toward something.
Beliefs are our interpretations of something.
Physiology is the physical manifestation of something.
Even in the constantly changing world of scientific research, experts have agreed that the “something” in each of those statements is unseen. Here’s the truth: it is damage in the unseen “spiritual heart” of us that drives all the symptoms we experience. That unseen heart consists of millions of stored images from our life experiences. Until that heart is healed, we continue to experience illness, unhappiness and failure.
The Root Is A Bunch of Lies
Now, it would be cruel to give you this new, earth-shattering truth and leave you with no idea how to heal your spiritual heart. So I want you to know that at the very core of all that damage is a collection of lies. That’s right; all those damaged, negative images stored within your spiritual heart are based on lies about those experiences.
Strategies for A Long-term Solution
So, how to reverse that damage? The very first method you should pursue is allowing God to enter in to that deep, spiritual heart and heal the lies you’ve stored there. I don’t know any way to say it more plainly. But, as in traditional medicine, we can attack the problem through coordinated therapies. Another method of healing available to you is through a new field of science called “energy medicine.” You may have heard Dr. Mehmet Oz speak on Oprah of this exciting field of research. He agrees that, if you heal the spiritual heart, physical healing often follows. The techniques of energy medicine result in the fastest healing, other than God’s own, of the root of our dysfunction. It’s definitely worth your exploration.
Our Internal Image Maker
There’s one more tool you can add to your healing toolbox. It involves something not helpful all by itself, our own willpower, but along with God’s healing and energy medicine, it’s very useful. This tool is what Dr. Alex Loyd, founder of The Healing Codes, calls “fine-tuning our internal image maker.” Here’s a simple exercise to help get you started: Open piece of your favorite candy. Focus on every aspect of the experience. Feel it on your fingertips and in your mouth. Eat it very slowly. What’s going on now? What does the candy smell and taste like? Once the candy’s gone, go immediately to a quiet place and close your eyes. Focus on what eating that candy was like. This is how you tune your “image maker” to store realistic memories in your spiritual heart. By healing the stored memories based upon lies and training our image makers to create true memories of our experiences, we can stop the cycle of destruction in our spiritual hearts. And as simple as that sounds, being able to do so can put us on the road to health, happiness, and prosperity.
