There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that your beliefs and hopes affect your health. One of the major contributors to maintaining health and removing disease is your attitude. The author of the article advises that it’s important to remember that if you are ill, it’s only natural not to immediately feel positive about it. There is a process you have to go through, and you may need to talk and cry and get depressed first. This is entirely normal and appropriate. What we’re worried about is people who go down and stay down, or people who don’t go down at all--that sort of positivity is so brittle that it’s likely to come unstuck. Energy psychology techniques are one of the major tools that we use in our office, and I can tell you first hand that there is no question in my mind that they are consistently more effective than drugs.
