Page 1 - Mind over E=mc2

by J Ross Dock Hester, PA-CH | 2015

Few of the uninitiated really understand the nature of their mind's interaction with the Universe or Multiverse.  Just as a magnet has a dipole and many magnets stuck together have a very large dipole, your body has its own energy field created by the millions of cells together. The dipole in each cell is created by the sodium-potassium pump whose job is to make the outside of the cell more positive than the inside. This is what enables a physician to place EKG electrodes on your arms and legs and know what your heart is doing electrically in three dimensions.
Both fear itself and imagining frightening things causes your heart rate to speed up and the release of stress hormones. The effects of chronic stress on the body have been very well documented. They include high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart, and an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. Chronic stress is also associated with anxiety, depression, and an increased rate of malignant changes. It can aggravate fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome among others. Conversely, what Dr. Benson referred to as the ”relaxation response" can improve all of these risk factors and improve immune function as well.

Common methods of creating this relaxation response include hypnosis, meditation, self hypnosis, and the Silva Method. Due to the fact that, in these relaxed states, critical analysis is bypassed, your imagination is free to manipulate your energy field. This is where allopathic medicine meets oriental medicine in a healing art called Reiki.

Even before I was a Reiki Master, I used this combination to treat a family dog with liver cancer and my own follicular lymphoma.

Tika lived a good five years after her original diagnosis until, at fifteen, blind, unable to stand well, and miserable, we elected to euthanize her.

There has been no recurrence of the lymphoma   which was self diagnosed and biopsy proven under my left arm since 2008. Although lymphoma is one of the easier malignancies to treat, I chose to use self hypnosis and Reiki with creative visualization rather than chemotherapy. My oncologist was impressed but not amazed.  He encouraged me to continue, "Whatever it is you're doing."

Also, with physician referrals, I have taught others to treat themselves with self hypnosis as an adjunct to their regular physician's care. I have taught my daughters and others to use it has an aid to peaceful childbirth, and have used it myself to reduce bleeding and discomfort during dental work and other surgical procedures. A few physicists who believe in chaos or string theory actually believe that your directed energy can affect the energy of the universe.

This underscores the importance of positive thinking and a positive imagination. As my instructors used to say, “what the mind conceives the body achieves."
