YOUR MIND CAN HEAL YOU: A New Thought Healing Classic

by Frederick Bailes

YOUR MIND CAN HEAL YOU A New Thought Healing Classic A Clear and Concise Introduction to the Technique of Mental and Spiritual Healing. Through advanced research, the medical community now has a wide array of techniques, state-of-the-art tools, and knowledge that greatly enhance their ability to diagnose and treat illness. Despite these advances, the root cause of illness continues to mystify and challenge individuals in one form or another. While stricken with a life-threatening illness, Dr. Frederick Bailes observed unhealthy emotional traits in himself and others that were deeply seeded not in the physical symptoms, but in the harmful emotions created by the human mind. Whatever the basic fear-pattern, the fact remains that the real illness is not so much the outward physical manifestation as the underlying mental state, says Bailes. It follows that any remedial action directed only at the physical form will leave the fundamental cause untouched . . . the health-seeker must now learn how to erase the destructive thought-pattern before they can hope to eradicate the physical illness. The logic is If the mind can create certain thought-patterns that result in illness, the mind can therefore also create certain thought-patterns that can lead to and maintain wellness. The words of Dr. Frederick Bailes have been studied for generations by countless New Thought followers around the world, but the impact of his work is now being re-discovered as medical professionals, researchers, and mainstream media echo his sentiments and awaken to this healing philosophy.

The author, Frederick Bailes, intended to become a Christian missionary, but he was diagnosed with diabetes, which at the time was deadly as insulin had not been discovered. He ended up being cured wihtout medical care and in this book attempts to explain how he that happened.

I've read this book three times. Each time, I get a clearer understanding of what Bailes is attempting to explain. It is simple really. Get focused, first, aligning with the All [Bailes refers to God]. There is discipline required in overcoming distractions and conditioned thinking. This can be done with meditation, breathwork, sitting in nature. Become present. That's the first thing.

Training your thoughts, that another thing. Not so easy as when bombarded with fear news and fear thoughts related to the future.

At any rate, it's not a book I understood the first time reading, but I realized it had something in it for me to learn. So I kept reading it and understanding it more.
