The Impact of the Mind and the Vital Nature on the Body Consciousness

0:00 We many times fail to recognize the extent of the impact that the mind and the vital nature have on the body, its health and its capacities for growth, resilience and development. The mind body connection is starting to come into focus. However, when the mind sends repeated suggestions to the body, it impacts the response of the body. It can send positive affirmative messages and the body will respond with a renewed vigor, energy, and resilience. Or it can send negative messages, which then increase the body's sense of helplessness, victimization, and failure. We are constantly taking in thoughts and ideas from our social circle.

But it has been perverted, put out of order, and no longer has the sense of its inner strength, its inner force, its power to react if one takes care not to pervert it. The body carries within itself the certitude of victory. It is only the wrong use we make of thought and its influence on the body which robs it of this certitude of victory. So the first thing to do is to cultivate this certitude instead of destroying it.

3:09 And when it is there, no effort is needed to aspire, but simply of flowering and unfolding of that inner certitude of victory. The body carries within itself the sense of its divinity. There. This is what you must try to find again in yourself if you have lost it. When a child tells you a beautiful dream in which he had many powers and all things were very beautiful, be very careful never to tell him, Oh, life is not like that, for you are doing something wrong. You must, On the contrary, tell him life ought to be like that, and it will be like that.
