HEAL YOUR BODY A-Z, Part 2

The Point of Power Is in the Present Moment -- Written by Louise Hay

" The point of power is right here and right now in our own minds. It does not

matter how long we have had negative patterns, an illness, a rotten

relationship, a lack of finances, or self-hatred; we can begin to make a change

today. The thoughts we have held and the words we have repeatedly used have

created our life and experiences up to this point. Yet, that is past thinking;

we have already done that. What we are choosing to think and say today, this

moment, will create tomorrow and the next day and the next week and the next

month and the next year. The point of power is always in the present moment.

This is where we begin to make changes. What a liberating idea. We can begin to

feel let the old nonsense go. Right now. The smallest beginning will make a

difference.

" When you were a tiny baby, you were pure joy and love. You knew how important

you were; you felt you were the center of the universe. You had such courage,

you asked for what you wanted, and you expressed all your feelings openly. You

loved yourself totally, every part of your body, including your faces. You knew

you were perfect. And that is the truth of your being. All the rest is learned

nonsense and can be unlearned.

" How often have we said, " That's the way I am, " or, " That's the way it is " ?

What we are really saying is that it is what we " believe to be true for us. "

Usually what we believe is only someone else's opinion we have accepted and

incorporated into our own belief system. It fits in with other things we

believe. If we were taught as children that the world is a frightening place,

then everything we hear that fits in with that belief, we will accept as true

for us. " Don't trust strangers, " " Don't go out at night, " " People cheat you, "

etc. On the other hand, if we were taught early in life that the world is a safe

and joyous place, then we would believe other things: " Love is everywhere, "

" People are so friendly, " " Money comes to me easily, " and so on. Life

experiences definitely mirror our beliefs.

" We seldom sit down and question our beliefs. For instance, I could ask

myself, " Why do I believe it is difficult for me to learn? Is that really true?

Is it true for me now? Where did that belief come from? Do I still believe it

because a first-grade teacher told me so over and over? Would I be better off if

I dropped that belief? "

" Stop for a moment and catch your thought. What are you thinking right now? If

thoughts shape your life and experiences, would you want this thought to become

true for you? If if it is a thought of worry or anger or hurt or revenge, how do

you think this thought will come back to you? If we want a joyous life, we must

think joyous thoughts. Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will come back

to us in life form.

" Take a little time to listen to the words you say. If you hear yourself

saying something three times, write it down. It has become a pattern for you. At

the end of the week, look at the list you have made, and you will see how your

words fit your experiences. Be willing to change your words and thoughts and

watch your life change. The way to control your life is to control your choice

of words and thoughts. No one thinks in your mind but you. "
