			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an enlightening article by <a title="Kathy Kirk" href="http://www.appliedspirituality.com" target="_blank">Kathy Kirk</a>.  Kathy Kirk will be on <a title="Truly Alive" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Sheila-Ulrich" target="_blank">Truly Alive radio </a>next wednesday Oct. 7, 2009 so come ask questions.</p>
<p>She is an amazing woman with much <a title="wisdom" href="http://sheilaulrich.com/blog/wisdom-of-loving-others/" target="_blank">wisdom</a> and experience in the field of health and well being and<a title="consciousness" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog//blog/spiritual-solution-to-healing-2.htm" target="_blank"> consciousness</a>.</p>
<p>We are the creators of our own reality and our beliefs form the experiences we encounter on this earth. </p>
<p>So can we change our health by changing our beliefs?  Can we change the consciousness inregards to <a title="cancer" href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog/cancer-support-and-drugs.htm" target="_blank"><strong>cancer</strong> </a>and eliminate it? </p>
<p>As the debate rages on in Washington and across the nation dividing us along party lines as we search for the best methods and methodologies for administering healthcare in America. However there is an underlying Truth that is missing from the debate. This Truth is that complete and perfect Health is everyone’s birthright. This capacity is innate, fundamental and within the sovereignty of individual being.</p>
<p><strong>The Body’s Default Position: Wellness</strong></p>
<p>Haven’t you ever wondered how a cut heals, you recover from a cold or the flu, a broken leg mends, or that severed nerves regenerate? In recent news, 12 year old Hannah Clark&#8217;s heart repaired itself, much to the dismay of doctors. The only reason we don’t see these types of “healings” with respect to cancer, aids, Parkinson’s and other diseases is that we don’t believe it can happen.</p>
<p>The beliefs and concepts held as “true” in the human mind collective are the prevailing human physical reality; but when someone creates a “new” reality previously held as impossible, we call it a ‘miracle’. The good news here is that if one person can do it, it inspires others to reach for that thought and create that miracle (a new thought) for themselves, as well.</p>
<p>The Body-Mind Connection Surely enough scientific studies have been done by now that point the way to a definitive body-mind connection. For example a collaborative study between the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Genomics Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School, demonstrates how a single, non-pharmacological intervention can help patients deal with disparate medical disorders. However what makes this study definitive is that is takes the body-mind connection from “soft” science to “hard” science by documenting how the mind can and does affect gene expression.</p>
<p> There can be no doubt any longer that our internal state determines our physical condition. Our internal state is wholly determined by the beliefs and concepts that we hold to be true. When we can shift this baseline “truth” to Truth, hearts heal themselves, limbs will regenerate, and eventually there will be no need for healthcare as we now experience it.</p>
<p>Spirituality and Science Converge The spiritual community has long held the space of this knowing for the rest of human consciousness. From the ancients to the moderns, such as Louise Hay in her book Heal Your Body and Deepak Chopra in his books, Quantum Healing and Molecules of Emotion, they have faithfully iterated that by our free will to choose where we focus our attention (to change our mind), we create the whole of our own reality. We are the Creators of it all here on Earth; every single bit of it.</p>
<p>Spirituality and science are converging into One, no surprise here for the spiritual community. The personal mastery of self has always been and continues to be quintessentially the free will choice of every human to focus on what is desired and create it for their personal Good and individual pursuit of happiness.</p>
<p>It is only limited, finite human-mind thought that distracts and derails us from our Connection with Source, the fulfillment of all our Good. The Shifting Paradigm: The Age of the Prodigal’s Return We are beginning an evolutionary shift in human consciousness returning us to our spiritual home, our birthright of Oneness in human mind consciousness. This is the story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible, only it was never about a boy returning to his father, but was always about human consciousness returning to the Consciousness of God, Source, All That Is – which is Who We Really Are and always have been.</p>
<p>I’d say these are pretty exciting times on planet Earth!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Again we see by yesterdays article the huge role our immune systems play in our health in our life.</p>
<p>An <strong>immune system</strong> is a collection of mechanisms within an organism that protects against disease by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells. It detects a wide variety of agents, from viruses to parasitic worms, and needs to distinguish them from the organism&#8217;s own healthy cells and tissues in order to function properly. Detection is complicated as pathogens adapt and evolve new ways to successfully infect the host organism.</p>
<p>With cancer, the <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/" title="immune system">immune system </a>no longer identifies the cells (which are cancerous) as foreign to the body.  So the immune system does not go after the cancer cells and destroy them.</p>
<p>In autoimmune diseases, the immune system identifies normal cells of our body as foreign and so starts to destroy them.   So in reality the body is destroying itself. </p>
<p>I get questions every day about how to feel better, improve health or tackle cancer.  I am amazed at the diseases out there and most seem to be autoimmune disorders. I found this great product to balance my immune system.  I have been using it and within days I felt better.  I am now experimenting with it to see if it really works. </p>
<p>I have experienced autoimmune symptoms for 12 years.  At times I was so sick I literally could not get off the bed for days and weeks.  The fatigued, brain fog, muscle and joint pain and general flu-like symptoms almost sent me over the edge.  I did not know how much longer I could live like that. </p>

<p>We have been talking about a lot ways we can <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" title="survive cancer">survive cancer.</a>  These are also the ways you can prevent cancer. </p>
<p>1. Keep your immune system strong .  Building the <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/stress-and-your-immune-system.htm" title="immune system">immune system </a>is key. We know stress affects our immune systems and we know our thoughts and beliefs and emotions affect it.  We also know that foods we eat can affect it, and the chemicals we ingest or are exposed to affect the immune system.  There are excellent products and supplements now available you can take to build your immune system.</p>
<p>2. Minimize stress</p>
<p>3. Listen to your body</p>
<p>4. Eat organic foods</p>
<p>  I can help you with cancer support and help guide you on this journey </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So what happens to our cells filled with these negative energy emotions.  The cells break down&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.They get tired&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;They start to slack off&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.They can&#8217;t perform their functions as efficiently as they use to&#8230;&#8230;They become <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" title="cancer">cancer</a>.</p>
<p>(Interesting&#8230;&#8230;Have you ever felt like this like these cells&#8230;.Many people live their lives feeling like this)</p>
<p>But when your cells are not doing what they are suppose to&#8230;..your body starts to break down and you are in <strong>Dis-ease</strong>.</p>
<p>Then they tell you, you have a disease and then label it as cancer, MS, etc&#8230;. </p>
<p>So we do have control over how we deal with negative energy.  We can carry it around with us and let it affect our health or we can let it go.  Negative energy can be any experience, feeling, emotion, relationship, or thought.  When we identify with the negative energy and carry it with us and relive it and react to it over and over, it will affect our health.</p>
<p>These stored thoughts over time become our beliefs.  Even if it is a terrible thought and belief.  Then we keep this memory and recreate the same belief over and over in our life.  When we become aware of this we can begin to identify these memories and thoughts and beliefs in our lives that we keep reliving and eliminate them.  LET THEM GO!</p>
<p>Letting go will be critical in improving your health and definitely be critical in becoming a <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" title="cancer survivor">cancer survivor</a>.</p>
<p>We do have some control over getting or not getting cancer.</p>
<p>We do have control over being a cancer survivor.</p>

<p>I know, I know I have repeated this over and over.  But I started the past couple discussions on building your immune system and how critical it is in being a <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/integrative-medicine-and-you.htm" title="cancer survivor">cancer survivor</a>.  Then we talked about what things affect the immune system and that stress degrades the immune system. </p>
<p>We don&#8217;t naturally think that stress or other feelings affect our health.  They do.</p>
<p>Anger we carry around with us has to be stored somewhere.  Where is it?  Is it in our head?</p>
<p>Think about something you have been angry about.  How does it feel?  Can you feel the anger in your head, in your body?  Do you feel tense?  How about your muscles, are they tighter?</p>
<p>No matter what emotion it is, anger, sadness, joy, depression it affects our entire body.  The emotion is energy.  Now admit it, don&#8217;t you feel the energy when you are angry?  This energy has to go somewhere and often it gets shoved into the cells of our body.  Now imagined this anger or stress energy in your body and in your cells for 20 years. </p>
<p><strong>What do you think happens to the cells? </strong></p>
<p>My first reaction&#8230;..IT CAN&#8221;T BE GOOD?</p>
<p>Over time this negative energy affects our cells and our <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/cancer-support-and-integrative-medicine.htm" title="immune system">immune system</a>.</p>
<p>So what do we do to prevent this and boost our immune system and prevent disease?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just woke up with the most amazing experience!</p>
<p>Throughout my cancer experience, I had a tremendous amount of pain, fatigue, nightsweats and the load of symptoms all of us have when dealing with cancer.  And they really suck, don&#8217;t they? </p>
<p>I would wake up for years in the middle of the night with these awful symptoms and <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" title="feelings">feelings</a>.  Sometimes it would get so bad I would be so anxious, sad, hurting, etc., I would jump out of bed thinking I could run away from it.  I couldn&#8217;t&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.It only made it worse.  Of course at the time I didn&#8217;t know that.   I didn&#8217;t know how I was continuing the cycle of pain by giving it more attention and then living in the past pain.</p>
<p>Last night I woke up with the same feelings I had for 10 years.  My body hurt and I was having a night sweat and felt that anxious awful feeling.  My first reaction was to get up and run, just like the past. </p>
<p>Then something hit me&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.And I thought, &#8220;I am not giving that past feeling any attention, that was a long time ago and not NOW&#8221; </p>
<p>IMMEDIATELY all the pain, the night sweats, the anxious feelings dissolved!!!!!!!!!!!! </p>
<p>As if they never existed&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Let&#8217;s see now what happens.  Maybe they really don&#8217;t exist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I talked about stress and how it affects our health.  What <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/stress-and-your-immune-system.htm" title="stress">stress</a> comes from is different than most of us think.</p>
<p>Our past is a HUGE part of our life.  We create every day of our lives based on the past.  And that means the good stuff in your past and your bad stuff.  We have these memories that we use as our model of what we will do today.  We reenact the say stuff over and over in our lives, often unconsciously, and we create stress and all kinds of health issues for ourselves.</p>
<p>AND we don&#8217;t really know we are doing it.</p>
<p>The thoughts and feelings we have affect the cells of our bodies.  If it is worry or guilt or sadness or anger, all of these are affecting the cells of our bodies every minute of the day.  All of these emotions are part of being human.  We all experience them.  The key is what you do with them once you experience them.  When you stuff them into your memory, and continue to carry them around with you and continue to live in them and act them out, these emotions will affect the cells of your body.</p>
<p>Imagine carry anger and guilt around for 50 years and now imagine what your cells feel&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>So what will you do with your thoughts and feelings today?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The immune system is one of the key steps in becoming a <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/blog" title="cancer survivor">cancer survivor</a>. The health of your immune system is affected by many things. I will be highlighting a few so that you can start healing.</p>
<p>According to Dr Bruce Lipton, PhD, cellular biologist and author of the New York Times Bestseller The Biology of Belief, concluded that 95% of all illness is created by stress.</p>
<p>Now you may say to yourself, &#8220;What&#8217;s the big deal? That&#8217;s not so radical! We&#8217;ve all heard about stress related illness for years. &#8221; And, you would be absolutely right. However&#8230; What is radical, what is truly a &#8220;big deal&#8221;, is this:</p>
<p>Stress does NOT come from outside sources!!!<br />
You read that right&#8230; Stress does not come from things like:<br />
• Jobs we hate,<br />
 • Stacks of unpaid bills,<br />
 • Messy relationships, or<br />
 • Pain-in-the-neck relatives.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not your circumstances. <br />
That&#8217;s right.  The stress that keeps you from living the life you want to live is not your life circumstances. </p>
<p>Let me prove it to you.  Two people are in traffic.  One is in road-rage &#8211; honking his horn, cussing, blood-pressure sky-rocketing, talking angrily on the phone.  The guy in the car next to him is cool as a cucumber &#8211; singing, enjoying himself, laughing on the phone.  Same stress.  Totally different physical and emotional reactions. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get a little more tangible.  Ten people are exposed to a virus. Five people get it, five people don&#8217;t.<br />
So what&#8217;s the difference?  It can&#8217;t be circumstances because everyone reacts differently to the same circumstances.  It must be stress!</p>
<p>The million-dollar question is, &#8220;Where does the stress come from if it&#8217;s not circumstances?&#8221; </p>
<p>3,000 year-old secret<br />
Wise old King Solomon tells us where the stress comes from in ancient manuscript more than 3,000 years old.  Here it is&#8230;this can transform your life:  &#8220;Guard your heart above everything else, for from it flow (all) the issues of life.&#8221; <br />
The stress comes from the heart.  Not the physical heart, the &#8220;I love you with all my heart,&#8221; heart. <br />
What exactly is the &#8220;Heart&#8221;?<br />
It is the storehouse of all of our memories and beliefs. </p>
<p>How does this all fit together? <br />
Everything that is happening to you right now &#8211; whether you&#8217;re at work, on vacation, taking a test, in traffic, on the football field &#8211; is being run through all of your life experiences.</p>
<p>You know these life experiences as &#8220;memories.&#8221;  If you have any beliefs or memories related to what is going on in your life that contain fear, anger, sadness, pain, trauma, disappointment, confusion, etc., there is a mechanism in your brain that will flip the &#8220;stress switch.&#8221; </p>
<p>Over time, stress creates any problem we have in our life.  And, one of the first things it does is to turn off your <a href="http://www.sheilaulrich.com/cancer-support-and-integrative-medicine.htm" title="immune system">immune system.  </a></p>
<p>On the other hand, when you heal the memories that have lies in them (which are our &#8220;wrong beliefs&#8221;) then the stress decreases and the immune system can turn back on. <br />
