We Create our Bodies and Our Illness??
So.. we create the bodies we have through how we think about ourself? So for example if someome is carrying extra weight and they think to themselves I am fat and getting fatter, that is what is brought to them or a better way..that is how they manifest a body with excess weight? So if they think the reverse they would create a thin body.
Has it nothing to do with what we eat and how our previous beliefs lead us to think that too much food and not enough excersise is said to cause people to be overweight, but if LOA works as we know it...we could eat fatty foods and junk and still be thin!! ONLY if we believed the food would not make us fat.
Same for smoking etc..if we smoke and believe it does not harm our bodies we should stay healthy?
Or if you look at the teachings of Louise Hay (which is from Abraham)..she said we create our own illness through being unhappy in our selves and our lives.
What I'm trying to get to grips with here is...if we are all just a mass of energy, not actually a solid being as we think we are, that we are formed through thought and we see ourselves only as we think of ourselves=our reality..Why should it matter what we eat or if we excersise? as the food we eat is also a mass of energy, neither good or bad..only as we think it.
I would love to hear what you all think about this.

This is a fascinating discussion. Thank you for sharing everything. This is slightly off the topic of thinking and weight loss, but part of it too.
We create our bodies and illness? God, this topic was meant for me to understand something. I have always been on the thin side with vast amounts of energy...one of my jobs was working on a cruise ship working 10 hours a day for 6 months without a break... when I had my time off, I got a weekly job in England with a weekend job as well as I was so used to being busy.
I have been helping my husband renovate a house over the last 6 years as well as running yoga holidays in Spain. 2 years ago when I had to give up teaching yoga as the house was in such upheaval, I started having all sorts of health problems, fatigue like you wouldnt believe, as well as 3 day migraines. My husband, bless him, answer was {food is energy} so ive been eating 5 times a day hoping to stave off fatigue... but all ive done in retrospect is pile on unwanted weight.
I have been reading Exkhart Tolle -The Power of Now and he suggests that illness is a byproduct of not living in the moment. He says when your not in the now, your not in your body. So I began a period of concentrating more on being in the body and in the now. If I had a migraine, I would read his advice, he would say 'feel the pain if that is in your now'. He says the future and past doesnt exist, so I concentrated on the moment, just the instant. Over the months it was almost like nothing else started to exist except pain and suffering, day after day after day. There were some special moments of course, but he is ready to say dont compare, dont juge,what is beautiful what is ugly, good, bad..... just accept what is.
I was ready to give up I really was, until 4 days ago when Id had enough of Eckhart, enough of pain and fatigue and searched the net for inspiration. I found the 100 day challange and it has forced me to look elsewhere for redemption, for a way out of pain, a way forward.....my life had became one sided... there were no goals, no future, nothing, no fun, I hadent even spoken to my friends in months as I have been in such agony of fatigue...
I stil dont quite get any of it....why I had to go throught it or what I have benefited, how I attracted the suffering. I thought I was attracting the richness of the moment, but look what I got.
Thank god, I have felt energised these last few days, thinking of starting the challange, having a future that is full of loveliness and delight, talking to my friends, not overeating, ...my life is coming back again, making sense. The theory of being in the moment is beautiful, but my practice took me somewhere I would never want to be again. I still dont get it.
Blessings to you all for reading. -

You are right, food is neutral energy and the body is neutral energy, it is the mind that makes judgements and gives meaning to things in life. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. That mass of vibrational energy, our spirit, is travelling around in a vibrational vehicle we call a body. The body can of itself do nothing, it can not make decisions or get sick or fat without being instructed to. The decision maker is the spirit inside. The spirit makes its decisions based on its belief system which was formed by its conditioning - what it was taught to believe by its caregivers in early life.
Unfortunately, in early life, with our limited experience, we tended to believe everything our caregivers told us, verbally or non-verbally. We also made up things about ourselves that were mistaken beliefs, for example "I'm unlovable." could be a mistaken belief that was developed if Mother left you in a room with a plate full of cakes while she opened the door to her visitors and on her return she withdrew her love from you and got angry, shouting at you that you were bad and would get fat because you ate all the cakes.
From an adult perspective we can appreciate that mother's withdrawal and anger are not a measure of our worth but to a little kid, it can feel life threatening to feel the loss of mother's love and her words can seem believable. Feeling guilt or shame during one of these episodes we can cut off a part of ourself from our awareness because the guilt or shame feels bad and we don't want to feel it and don't want anyone else to know that part is there and so we hide it. However, just because we are now blinkered to that part doesn't mean that the guilty, shamed part isn't still operating in our sub-conscious mind and from that part of our mind, the body can receive instructions that don't necessarily serve it. Insructions based on what happened to us as a child, like "If I eat that cake it means that I am bad and no one will love me, I will be alone and I will get fat."
We can correct the mistaken beliefs and forgive our caregivers who really didn't know what they were doing to our psyche. Any time we feel bad it is an opportunity to follow the feelings and the thoughts to correction by asking yourself.....when was the earliest time I felt this feeling? Paying attention to the memories, expressing any unspoken feelings or emotions that come up, writing in a journal is a good way. When the negative emotion is all gone and the mistaken belief brought to truth, it leaves space internally. The space can be filled with a new, positive, nurturing, helpful belief such as 'All food nourishes my whole self to the benefit of all beings." or "Let Truth dominate consciousness." Then we can have a beneficial outcome and as like is drawn unto itself, nourishing experiences will enter our sphere of availability.
Love & Blessings, Christina :o) -

How curious! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I would like to ask about a recent experience I had this year. I was diagnosed with cancer in my brain. A small tumor was found right in my brain so no surgery could be done but with chemotherapy and radiation the tumor was dispatched and now I am going through recovery (which is a deal unto itself). I am hugely grateful and everyday I feel better than the last. Throughout this experience I've been trying to figure how I found myself in this dangerous predicament. Before all this happened; the last 2-3 years and months, I was happy and healthy and kept my health up and was truly in a wonderful situation all around-physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally. Then how did I get into this horrible dilemma? I was in a good mind frame. I thought I was doing the right things. The next thing I knew I was getting this disgusting neon yellow poison suctioned into my arm.
How in the world did I do this to myself?
Anyone have any thoughts? -
