It is important to understand that thoughts are very powerful. The thoughts that you have, affect your mind, body, and spirit. Your thoughts and emotions can help your body to heal or they can cause Qi blockages and weaknesses that can lead to disease. Thus, if you want to have a healthy amount of Qi and good Qi flow, you first need to have positive thoughts about yourself and others. This is a major component of developing a healing mind.
It has been shown that negative thoughts can weaken your body. In the book, “Power Versus Force”, Dr. Hawkins describes his research on the use of Kinesiology (muscle testing) to test how different things, thoughts, ideas, and emotions weakened or strengthened the body. He developed a method to calibrate and classify things on a scale based on whether they weakened or strengthened the body. Ideas or thoughts of love and kindness strengthens the body, whereas thoughts of fear and shame weaken the body. In the words of Dr. Wayne Dyer specifically about this subject, “Wisdom is avoiding all thoughts that weaken you”. Thus, one important ingredient for improving one’s health and life is to have positive thoughts in all aspects of your life.
Not only does your thoughts affect yourself, mentally, emotionally and physically, but they also affect others. Know that you are not alone in the Universe. You are connected to all living beings in the Universe. Thoughts are energy that radiates outward and are not limited by space and time. So not only do your negative thoughts weaken yourself, they can also weaken others. So when you are radiating out positive thoughts, while practicing Qigong and working on healing yourself, you are also helping others. So I invite you to dedicate your Qigong or other healing practice to the healing of others and yourself.
