How
would you answer right now if I asked: “Who are you?” And if I
added: “Why do you think so?” Your answer would probably depend
on manyt things – if you have a family, or the kind of family you
come froom. It might depend on whether you have children. Or a job,
money, social status, beliefs etc. In short, your answer depends on
whether you have something to boast about or not. 'Life' continually
challenges us: “Are you somebody? Or nobody?” And much more
depends on this answer than you might initially imagine.
The
life and well-being of the microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi
etc) inside you and around you depend on this answer. They are
everywhere. They don't have an agenda as such - to harm or to help you
– they just live.
But
there is a difference. Yes, microbes live according to the
same natural laws as we humans. However, since they do not have
'minds', they don't have stresses either and they become dependent on
the stresses of their 'owner'. Ourselves.
So
when someone is in an agitated state, preoccupied with some petty
meanness or waiting for the appropriate moment to enact some act of
spite or vengeance, they can activate 'Arcanobacterium
haemolyticum', actually bringing upon themselves ailments such as
throat infections, pharyngitis, sinusitis etc.
Another
example is Rhinovirus (the virus which most often causes the
common cold) which becomes stressed when the owner acts in a
desperate manner because of their own mistakes.
The
behaviour of microbes reacts on tiny changes in their owner's
mood. If the person is resilient to judgments towards himself or
loved ones, doesn't become too easily flattered or annoyed... they
will also be more resilient towards disease. By calmly taking things
as they are, their microbes behave exactly the same – just
continuing everyday activities. If a person naturally feels they are
a “somebody”, they do not jump about proving it. They calmly
accept others' thoughts and actions but continue to do their own
thing. Immunity, in this sense, actually mirrors your emotional
resilience.
The“I am somebody” person tends to enjoy great health and has good
immunity towards illness. Therefore building
psychological resilience is the best starting point for having
and developing a good immune system or getting back on track.
For testing your own resilience and to read more, I
find that the following link is generally helpful:
And,
of course, the energy work that I do in Health Kinesiology can help
to improve the immune system as well as helping people to feel
comfortable and happier with who they are.
