In Episode 16 of Heal Yourself with the Law of Attraction, we will cover:
The importance of keeping an open mind, particularly when it comes to health and wellness.
The concept that there is no "single source of absolute truth," and that our understanding of the mind and body is constantly evolving and subject to change.
Examples of previous beliefs about the mind and body that have been challenged or disproven by more recent research, including: the microbiome, the link between inflammation and dis-ease and the connection between the brain and the immune system.
My experience with conflicting health information and diagnoses.
Steps you can take to explore different opinions, perspectives and verticals of medicine to gain more information and take back control of your health and wellness.

Reflection Questions
What have you been told about yourself, your mind or your body that you might be able to explore and potentially challenge?
Is there something that a medical professional told you or diagnosed you with that doesn’t feel quite right?
Is it possible to get another opinion?
Is it possible to explore a different vertical of medicine like plant medicine, eastern medicine, alternative or complimentary medicine?
How can you learn about other’s successes in healing or overcoming this alignment or dis-ease? Are there books? Are there YouTube videos? Are there documentaries?
What other information can you learn about the root cause of this issue?
Are there ways of managing that don’t involve prescription medication?
How is this diagnosis or dis-ease impacting your identity? Do you feel like it is a part of how you define yourself?
Do you think and refer to yourself as a “sick” or “ill” person? How can you work to evolve that view of yourself to someone who is “healing”?

How often do you find yourself caught up in a state of obsessive thinking or find yourself having overwhelming, pervasive thoughts?
When do you find that happening the most? Are there any themes there? Is it when you’re alone? Is it when you’re about to go to sleep? Is it when you’re trying to focus on work or school?
What tools and techniques are you going to practice to try and reduce the frequency and duration of those cycles of endless thinking?

Goal: The key is really to help generate awareness of what’s happening so you can start to practice changing that behavior.
