The Healing Law of Giving
This title is the same as an article by Christiane Northrup, MD. You have probably seen her on PBS a time or two if you watch that sort of thing. She is author of Womens' Bodies, Womens' Wisdom. She wrote a wonderful article about giving and why it is good for your health.
Below is a citation from her article:
Because of the seamless connection between our bodies, our thoughts and our surroundings, you can actually achieve health in your physical body by giving away something of value. Think about this carefully. though it seems this can't be true, it is true. Thoughts tend to become their physical equivalents. Thoughts that are resentful, critical, self-centered, and bitter create congestion. When you believe that your doctor charges too much, that wealthy people are ripping you off, or that it's too expensive to eat healthy, you're thinking thoughts that increase congestion. Ponder (Catherine Ponder) points out that unhealthy people are often self-centered people who clutch their health problems to them for dear life ! Giving helps them to think about others in a way that is very therapeutic, helping to free both their minds and bodies.
This article was printed in The Well Being Journal. I highly recommend this journal and the cost is not bad. It is a great source for natural healing information. If you would like a reprint of the article on The Healing Law of Giving please let me know and I will fax to you.
Hope you have a great weekend.
