Today I would like to talk with you about the value there is in having illness.
The natural state of the physical body is health. We don’t have to tell ourself how to breathe, how to regulate our temperature, or how to have our heart beat. We also do not have to tell ourself how to be healthy. Health is an automatic state of being.
When we are experiencing ill health something has gone wrong mentally, spiritually and/or emotionally which then affects us physically.
In today’s society when we become ill we go to the Doctor and ask him to fix us. The Doctor will look at our symptoms, make a diagnosis and then give us a prognosis of treatment for the symptoms. When those symptoms clear up we then develop another set of symptoms ad-nasueum.
The best question to ask yourself is, ”What value am I receiving from having these symptoms?”
The value we are receiving from our illness can be negative or positive, such as, we can feel sorry for ourself, have our own little pity party, we can have other people feel sorry for us. Often we use illness to get attention from others, to feel loved as if negative love is better than no love at all. We can use our symptoms to justify how come we aren’t being successful or why we have failed at some project.
When we become clear about the value we are getting from our illness we can determine if our suffering is worth the value. If not we can give up the need for the value and the symptoms will clear up automatically, sometimes miraculously.
In Careapy we help people discover the mental, spiritual and emotional cause of their symptoms which empowers them to then correct the cause. When we know we are causing the symptom then we have the power to heal them as well.
The Doctor did not make us ill and can not heal us. We make ourself ill and only we can heal ourself. One of the greatest teachers of all time said, “Physician Heal Thyself!” So be it!
Thank you for spending time with me today. Glenn Smyly
