Health & The Body

The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.

Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts express themselves through a sickly body.

"The body is a delicate and plastic instrument, which responds readily to the thoughts by which it is impressed."

Thoughts of fear and worry quickly demoralize the body and open it to disease. Bright, positive thoughts build vitality and strength.

Clean thoughts make clean habits; purity of mind shows as health in the body.

Health & The Body

#03

Strong, pure, and happy thoughts build up the body in vigor and grace.

1

Guard your mental diet

As you choose what food enters your body, choose what thoughts enter your mind. Reject worry and fear.

  • What fears dominate your thinking?
  • What worries consume your energy?
  • What thoughts weaken you?
2

Cultivate thoughts of health

Think vitality, strength, and wholeness. See yourself as healthy and full of energy. Your body will respond.

3

Express joy outwardly

Smile more. Laugh often. Move with energy. These outward acts reinforce inner health and build an upward spiral.

Your body listens to every thought. Speak health, strength, and vitality into existence.
