What is metaphysics? In literal translation it means 'beyond physics or beyond the natural law' - it is not considered a science as our scientists understand it, i.e. it is not provable by their methods - as are so many things in our universe! Somewhat narrow-minded, but there you have it - they always have been. This begs the question how they deal with the big one - is there a God? We all know there is, we all feel there is something so much bigger than ourselves - but can science prove it? No. Can they disprove it? No. This then puts into question a lot more of what is known in the Universe in which we live.

The power of the mind - we can either use it to create or use it to destroy. Whether on a personal scale, or on a grand, global scale, by the invention of the most terrible weapons of war. If more was understood of the power of metaphysics perhaps we could put an end to the destruction we seem so fond of creating? Food for thought for a further article.

How does this work? As human beings we are all linked to each other, our planet and our solar system. There is no separateness. What is above is so below. I remember watching a video once where a video camera, using powerful magnification, started to film a man, just as a normal distance shot and then zoomed in to the skin and by increasing its magnification appeared to delve through all the layers of the body - from the skin, fatty tissue, muscle, bone etc continuing right down through the blood and tissue into the cells themselves - right to the very heart of the cell. It was like watching the birth of nebulas in the heavens. There were stars - it appeared one was watching a night sky and onwards until seeing the birth and death of stars, the milky way and the Universe itself in all its glory. Amazing. The camera then withdrew and the pattern was repeated but this time being directed upwards towards the heavens, through the sky into the atmosphere and just carried on increasing its magnification going right into the darkest regions of outer space. Lo and behold - there was the Milky Way, the stars and the Universe. It was an exact replica of what had been seen inside the human being! Just to prove the point that there is no difference in terms of our make up! As above - so below! Rather humbling wouldn't you agree?

With that sort of power and connection within us why would it not be possible that we can use our minds for far more than we believe we are capable of? We know for fact that we currently only use 10% of our brains. What's the rest for? These are the untapped areas waiting for us to re-connect with ourselves and be opened once again when we remember who we truly are. Our ability to communicate without speech, just by thought transference. Simply put, how many times have you been thinking of a person and then, suddenly, the telephone rings and hey presto - there they are on the line! Your first comment - 'I was just thinking of you!' Coincidence? Definitely not. I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as coincidence! The message from your mind has travelled in the aether to the person you were thinking of and they have the response that they need to speak to you - not knowing that you have already communicated the message.

All my life I have understood this and worked with it - even as a child. I did not know what it was, I just knew how to use it. I have always had an ability to create what I wanted - just by daydreaming. The power of that thought process and the repetition of that daydream or vision over and over, can bring the subject into reality. How does it work? Ever heard of the expression mind over matter? Today we think that this phrase means strength of mind and will. Not so - if everything around you in physical form is matter - like the table, the floor, the car etc then the power of the mind is such that it can draw together the molecules and atoms and create matter. The physical manifestation of that thought process.

Let me give you an actual example - when I started my health business many years ago - I needed a base. I wanted to work from home, but not inside my house. I wanted to rent with the option to buy if my business became successful. I wanted an old style Georgian house, in a village with a good school nearby for my son. Oh, and last but by no means least - I wanted a building at the bottom of my garden to use for my clinic! A tall order indeed! I even gave myself a timeframe - 1 month.

Then I went to work with my particular methods - every night and spare moment in the day - I visualised the house, myself walking down my garden path to work, my son catching the school bus, seeing the house and really feeling it. I moved in with my mind and my routine was set - every day I did this for that time frame. At the end of the fourth week I was checking the local paper for houses to rent in the area I wanted - and there it was! A Georgian house - 5 bedrooms (I hadn't been specific about the number of bedrooms!), at a rental I could afford and with the all-important building at the bottom of the garden - which actually had been the old post office/shop of the village. Yippee! I went to view the next day and it was perfect. Only problem was that they had a lot of nasty details on the form, like wanting a credit check undertaken etc. I was in no good financial state at that time and this worried me. However, I stayed positive and sent the form back - after a couple of days I called the agent to hear what the decision was, only to be told that they had lost the form and could I fill in another one. No problem - but when it arrived - it was a different version without all the 'nasty' questions and no credit check! This was manifestation at the highest level! I moved in - created the clinic and my business was so successful that I bought the house within the 2 years. Yes, even that had been created for me.

This is the power of metaphysics and the power of manifestation and the power of attraction.

This works for your health also - I have always believed, and many times proved, that we get sick because of what we have in our mind that we cascade down to our bodies. However, by using metaphysics we can overcome these illnesses or dis-ease of the body. It is negative thoughts that have created it so it takes positive thoughts to repair it. Not just the odd one, but a major repetition of a single or multiple sentences that change the way our mind works. These are known as affirmations. They only work in the present moment - the past has gone and the future has yet to be written - so the only time that is real, is today - the now. If you want to change something, then that is what you have to tell your mind. I am healthy. My immune system is strong. I love myself. I take care of myself. They are only ever positive statements as you can see. Never in the negative or the past.

This has been one of the most powerful ways to change life-threatening illnesses, coupled with changes in diet, lifestyle and belief systems in general. The body is listening to the mind. If the patterning of the mind is altered - then the body will follow suit.

During the First World War it was clearly documented that a percentage of the soldiers in France, particularly in the trenches, just couldn't take any more of the mud, the slaughter, the dysentery,or the horror of it all - literally sat down and told their bodies that they wanted to die. One by one organs shut down and then organ systems followed and that person would die. It was a choice - a clear choice which they indicated to their body which followed through.

How powerful are we truly?

The positive message here clearly is - that we can create what we want. We just need to be careful about what we want and be careful of the messages we send from our minds to our bodies. The Universe is always listening and cannot differentiate between negative and positive. If you don't want it - don't think it, don't speak it!
