What does it take to heal?
I just attended a lecture given by Dr Joe Disenzia who became known through his appearance in the movie “What the Bleep do We know“.
He has done a significant amount of research on healing and what does it take to heal. It started with his own healing challenge with an accident early in his career as a chiropractor that left him with most of his spine compressed and doctors telling him if he didn’t get Harrington rods put in, he would never be able to stand up straight. Well he of course didn’t get the surgery and is as healthy and fit as anyone I have ever seen.
He talked about the 4 factors that are needed to heal or have a spontaneous remission:
- Everyone believed and accepted that there was some power within that gives them life -whatever you want to call it - soul, spirit, God… He explained it by asking the question - Who/what is making your heart beat? your kidneys excrete? your liver detoxify? etc.
- Our thoughts, attitudes, perceptions create the signs and symptoms of disease. Every thought makes a chemical that makes you feel good or makes you feel bad. They are signals to the body to feel what we are thinking. When we can begin to think the way we feel until the feelings becomes the means of thinking, when we can think outside of how we feel - healing happens.
- Believe that you have to break the habit of being yourself. We are so trapped by the way we think that we don’t think too much outside of how we feel. It’s a habit. When we can begin to think differently and make a conscious choice it turns on the frontal lobe of the brain where we can begin to build new neural pathways - new ways of being.
- Learn to forget about yourself -it’s the greatest act of creation. What we give our attention to quiets the emotional sensory centers so we can move beyond the restrictions of time
You can hear the whole lecture basically in this DVD-Mastering the Art of Observation” Volume 1 of Your Immortal Brain, by Dr. Joe Dispenza featured in “What the BLEEP Do We Know!?”
If more people start really studying this whole concept, I think it could really change the future of healthcare.!

It seems to me that one of the most important comments made here is that there is a power within us which gives us life. Sometimes I wonder whether we try too hard ourselves to change or heal ourselves, that we neglect this powerful element (God, Spirit, etc) which is within us and available to us. Maybe what we should do is to submit to that power and not try so hard ourselves. The working is in the submitting, is what I have experienced and that can be very powerful indeed!
