Gratitude

I am not a researcher who polls people or takes information from studies and analyzes it, but I love to read.  You can read anything on the internet and some of it is true and factual and some of it is not.  So, If an idea seems true or rings true to me I have a tendency to believe it.  You cannot count on my ideas being scientifically proven because they are not by me.  That is my disclaimer.  However, I have lived a long time and experienced a lot of life and those things I believe I share freely.

I read an article recently about gratitude being the emotion or mindset that carries the highest healthy vibes.  I loved the thought of healing through thoughts and packed it away in my memory to mull over during the season.  What are healthy vibes?  This paradigm of healing views the body as one complex, self-regulating, whole system.  This body has the ability to heal if it is given all that it needs.   NASA uses vibration therapy to help prevent bone loss in astronauts.  They aren't the only ones who use that, I do as well, but that is not what is referred to here.  Every cell of our body vibrates and every substance has it's own frequency.  Using the healing frequencies is a great way to heal and re-balance the systems.   Now take that knowledge and apply it to gratitude.

We do have control over our thoughts and we can control our emotions.  Sometimes it is hard to do, but we can do it.  Because we all want to be healthy, it is a really good idea to practice gratitude every day.  We will become a better person, and people, and we will become more healthy as well.  Say you have a devastating disease.  According to this thought, do you have anything to lose by practicing gratitude?  I think we all have a lot to gain by practicing gratitude.

We have just celebrated Thanksgiving which is a national holiday where I live.  There are some historic roots to this celebration of being thankful, but even if you don't have that you can find a reason to be thankful for something even if it is only life itself.  When it is cold, which I really do not like, I feel gratitude for the bitter cold days because of the benefits of cold.  If we have at least 43 days of cold temperatures a year the apples and peaches and many fruit trees will set on a better crop the next year.  If we have a cold winter many of the insects that plague us will die off and we won't have so many to deal with the next summer.  No matter where you live and what your circumstances, it is possible to find something to be grateful for each day.

Try focusing your thoughts on gratitude and see if you experience a higher level of health in your life.  A great way to help heal your body is to think healthy thoughts.  You are what you think, so think gratitude and heal through healthy thinking,
