Anything is possible: 3 inspiring examples of our bodies’ amazing shape-shifting ability
Einstein said: “Reality is simply an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Quantum physics holds that nothing is solid; everything is energy in motion, giving the appearance of solidity. It is the combined power of our intention, feeling, and imagination that shapes and reshapes our bodies and our lives. I love that reality is so plasticine and malleable; It reassures me that anything is possible, including curing cancer.
I have been on a cancer journey for over 3 years and I am a huge believer in the healing power of intention. Recently, I was laying in the arms of my husband Tom and we were meditating together, as we do every morning. I felt treasured, held, healed, and whole. I envisioned bringing this same feeling to my future self, visualizing myself transforming in my 60s, 70s and 80s, looking healthy and happy in my 80s, imagining high-fives with Tom and saying, “We hit 80! You are still cute, “I tell him. “And you still have the body of a 20-year-old boy,” he tells me. (We can imagine what we want: o)
Believing that this is possible makes it more possible. So, to reinforce my belief, I’ve been putting together some deeply inspiring examples of the magical, malleable, and shape-shifting ability of our amazing bodies. I would like to share with you 3 of these examples:
1. In Anita Moorjani’s memoir, Dying To Be Me, she describes being in the hospital, unconscious, her organs shutting down, dying from cancer that had spread throughout her body. While unconscious, he had a remarkable near-death experience where he learned many things about the meaning of life and was told that he could return to his body and live a life with purpose. Even though his body was devastated, he was assured that he would regain full health. He decided to return to his body. In just a few weeks her condition rapidly improved until she was completely cancer free. She writes: “That made me realize that nothing is solid (or real). We can change anything.”
2. Here’s another powerful example of our mind-blowing ability to instantly change our body composition. In her book, Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind, renowned neuroscientist Dr. Candace Pert (you may remember her from the movie What the Bleep) writes about her research on multiple personality disorders, showing that one personality can have a disease, such as diabetes, while another does not. One may be farsighted while another is nearsighted. Some even have different colored eyes! It is the same body, but the emotions and beliefs of each personality change the molecular structure of your body in seconds! She writes that instead of being solid, “Our bodies are more like flickering flames. They change with our emotional states.”
3. Bestselling author Gregg Braden submitted an astonishing video documenting a baseball-sized tumor in a woman’s bladder that disappears in minutes. This was done in China by three practitioners who generated within themselves the feeling that the woman was already healthy. The woman also believed. During this focused and deeply felt intention, an ultrasound shows that the tumor disappears in less than 3 minutes. The key is to feel it and believe it as if it already were. As Jesus promised: “Whatever you pray and ask for, believe you have received, and you will receive.” [Mark 11:24]
Every morning now I do my visualization meditation in which I move forward in time, seeing myself vibrating in perfect health, love and happiness; feeling it and believing it as if it were already so.
It is never too late to heal our bodies and our lives. Is there an area of your life that is ready to change shape? Through the power of faith, imagination, and intention, anything is possible!
