Happy Mind For A Healthy Body

Our mind, our thoughts can keep the body healthy. Sounds too optimistic, but this is actually the reality. Half of our ailing and diseases are the fruit of our own imagination and fears.

We all want to be happy, but we relate our happiness with few things, rather we are dependent on certain stimulants in order to be happy. Let us name them, money, business, job, relationships, bungalow, car, success….this list can be endless, depending upon your age, tastes, environment etc. So we are seeking happiness in these materialistic gains. Lets see what happens when we have achieved these gains, for first few days we are very happy with it, after some time the same stimulant does not give us the same happiness, why ?? because now we have attached certain fears with it, the same possession is now the cause of our insecurity, we have created thoughts of fear with it. And thoughts are vibrations, if they are negative in nature, its negativity shall start affecting the body.

Today even doctors agree that our diseases are psychosomatic in nature. They are caused by our own feelings, and sensations, which is coming from our stimulants, the effect of our stimulant is on our thought process, it leads to addiction to it, addiction creates dependency or craving, and this craving creates a fear, fear is a negative thought, which affects the body and creates a disease.

And why did this all started was, as we were searching for happiness in these things. More often we run after success, thinking it shall bring along happiness, but it is other way round, success does not necessarily bring happiness, but when we are happy, it shall bring success. As a happy soul is creative, the body is energetic, compassionate and thus success shall follow by itself.

This happiness we have not to find anywhere in anything or any person, it is already there with us: I am a happy soul, I am a peaceful soul, I am a powerful soul, because these are the innate qualities any human being is born with. But in the course of time with negative thoughts, these basics get lost somewhere; we have to just reconnect with it. We have to generate just the right thoughts, as they shall generate the right energy and thus the right fit body. As said in the Upanishads:

Sow a Thought, Reap an Act;
Sow an Act, Reap a Habit;
Sow a Habit, Reap a Character;
Sow a Character, Reap a Destiny.

This is the importance of the thought, choose them and give them any space very very carefully. Live for 100 years, with great healthy body, but first healthy happy mind with healthy happy thoughts. A happy person creates sound health and attracts success and prosperity. Make it work the right way.
