"HOW THE MIND AND BODY ARE PROGRAMMED FOR SUCCESS OR FAILURE" by Nicklas Ehrlich

Scientists have found that conditioning, beliefs, perceptions and stress play a large role in your emotional and physical makeup.   Your body releases chemicals and hormones that cause you stress when you have negative thoughts and the cells in your body saves the negative information like a computer saves on a hard disc.

The cells within your body have a membrane that functions in a similar fashion as your brain does.   This cellular membrane acts as a kind of nervous system.   The surface interprets messages that come to it in a chemical form.   This membrane has a form of intelligence and the ability to make decisions about how it will function.

The body's cells receive their information from chemical sources through the circulatory system; this information is then deposited into receptors on the surface of the cells.   As a result of this process these chemical substances travel to the nucleus of the cell.   Then the genes lying inside the nucleus of the cells are given directions to synthesize proteins in the body to perform various functions within the cell.   These proteins then

control and regulate the function of the cells with the rest of the body.

The cells of your body are affected and controlled by their interaction with their physical environment, but also by your mind and emotions and not solely by the genetic program you carry.

The cells of your body can only follow one direction at a time, either to be in a negative survival response, or a positive, open and relaxed response.   A negative response causes you to react and cope any way you can to a perceived negative situation.   A positive response causes you to respond appropriately and be proactive in ways that support a healthy outcome and growth.

You have experiences and perceptions of your environment that are stored in your cellular memory.   Any experience you have had that exposed you to repeated behaviors - habits - beliefs - emotions or any stressful situations, affects your nervous system and the other organs within your body.   The body experiences hormonal and chemical messages that support any negative experience or internal reality.   From this experience subconscious negative programs and beliefs are born, stored in the cells of your body and influencing you on all levels.

These subconscious beliefs at the cellular level affect your behavior and compete with your conscious beliefs and desires.   Some of the subconscious negative beliefs can be:

It isn't ok to have negative feelings like anger, sadness and fear.   It isn't ok to feel vulnerable.   If I have feelings that other people aren't comfortable with, they may judge me and leave me, or not like me.   I have to work to be liked, loved, and accepted.   I am not good enough.   I am not smart enough.   I am not attractive enough.   I am responsible for things when they go wrong.   I am responsible for meeting others people's needs, while not expecting that my needs will be met.

Your subconscious mind runs your body and your responses to your environment on a twenty four hour basis - without you even having to consciously think about it.   This part of your mind does not know the difference between things that are true and things that are false, nor between things that are good for you and things that are not.   The stored information may be triggered by an outside stimulus or one from within.   Sometimes there is simply a mandate by the subconscious to respond according to its program and fulfill the beliefs in your physical reality.

Your conscious mind is the tip of the iceberg, with approximately 80% hidden under water and directed by the subconscious mind. Some of your expectations are conscious and positive and some are negative or contradictory and subconscious.   When you set goals or expectations for yourself, your intention may be from a conscious perspective, but they may be sabotaged by your subconscious program.

It is therefore important to have a healthy subconscious program of expectations, thoughts and beliefs from which to respond to.   It is not necessary to relive or even remember all of the information stored in your subconscious data bank.   You can delete and replace any negative program when deeply relaxed, while taking in a new and healthier program.   When you do this you are releasing new and healthier chemical messages and replacing the old negative ones.   Repeated listening to a transformational recording supports this change.

When your subconscious mind is in balance and agreement with your conscious mind, you then can have healthy and positive beliefs, expectations and goals.   It is then that any inner conflict is replaced with clarity, focus and satisfying outcomes.
