How Healthy is Your Environment? Are Your Thoughts Killing You?
Posted by Louise on Mar 5, 2010
Have you ever wondered why some people get cancer? Is your environment so unsuited to you that it will be your death warrant? What are the real consequences to you of negative thinking or how do your thoughts affect your cells? Bruce Lipton* has some seriously inspirational phrases that may change your life forever.
Here are the exact inspirational phrases that shook me up enough to share them with you:
“Irv Konigsberg [a cell biologist and Lipton's professor and mentor]… told me that when the cultured cells you are studying are ailing, you look first to the cell’s environment, not to the cell itself, for the cause.
….. this advice was a key insight into understanding the nature of life. Over and over I learned the wisdom of Irv’s advice. When I provided a healthy environment for my cells [stem cells he had cloned], they thrived; when the environment was less than optimal, the cells faltered. When I adjusted the environment, these “sick” cells revitalized.” (page 19*)
This is one scientist who can really talk. I remember hearing him talking on radio last year, and after 10 minutes I just knew I had to read his book*.
There you have it. Cutting edge epigenetics, a new branch of cell biology, shatters the previously treasured view that DNA and genes control our biology. We now know that genes are not our destiny and we are not victims of our faulty genetic blueprint. Instead DNA is controlled by factors outside our cells, one such factor being thought-energies generated by the positive and negative thoughts we have.
This made me think about toxic environments. Last spring my daughter put her tadpoles in tap water while she cleaned out the aquarium. When she returned two minutes later they were all writhing as if in dreadful pain. Chlorine. It killed them all in under five minutes. See, Mr Lipton is right, our environment counts.
What is your work environment like? Do you spend time with people who promote your well-being? And at home? How beneficial is your environment? Is clutter and an ugly outlook the first and last view of the world you present to yourself each day? What effect is your environment having on the quality of your thoughts? Are they bright, inspirational, upbeat? Or are they dark, negative, hopeless reflections which are toxic time bombs? Is it time to retrain your thinking?
*Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D, a medical school professor and research scientist, is the author of these inspirational phrases which are quoted from his mould-breaking, concept-shattering book, ‘The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles”, Hay House, Inc. (2008).
