We have known for years of the connection of our mind with our body, but now scientist are getting involved. It seems that it started with men working with the environment of a single cell, and seeing the affect environments have on that cell.

Our thoughts regulate many things in our body. Our heart races with emotion, our blood pressure rises when we live for a long time with stress, happiness makes us feel like moving, etc. Scientist say this goes much deeper, it affects our individual cells that make up the large group of cells.

This is leading scientist to explore our minds that control these cells. They say we each have two levels of mind, the conscious and the subconscious. When you are doing a routine task, it is the subconscious that takes control. If you type you do not say here is a and here is the b key. The subconscious tells you. In this level of mind each movie you have seen, each conversation is stored. It regulates your heart rate and how you breath. It acts as a filter for the thousands of bits of information that comes to you daily, according to how it has been programmed.

God knows this about us. God has been training us for creating an environment for healthy cells. The scientist who have learned of the power of this training, and learned of the wonderful results are trying to take over. You can pay thousands of dollars to them to learn from them. They say love is powerful, hate destroys. They tell you how to put positive thought in the subconscious, just as God does. They tell you to stay away from the negative, just as God does, but put Godlike thoughts in your mind. The scientist asks for money for this training!

So, turn off that TV program about sin, get good friends together instead of that movie about living in a sinful way, cook a good dinner for friends instead of putting dirt in your mind and give way to loving laughter. Find ways to make your everyday doing a praise of God.

If you go sit in a bar, then in a meeting of people who love the Lord, you will see the difference. The laughter is the difference between the laughter over a dirty joke and the laughter because you love someone and you feel joyful. Choose love and be healthy.

Never a truer word been said my friend. The mind and body connection is such a powerful thing. The stresses of modern life have infringed so much of our daily life that we forget to take some ME time, in which we should recharge not just the body with good nutrition but also take the time to feed the soul and mind with positive thoughts of love and the beauty of Gods words and world, a world that we so often walk around with blinkers on.
