In Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, he writes about how he started his career as a plastic surgeon and he noticed a very interesting thing that would go on. He noticed that, for some, a change in their appearance led to a new lease on life just as one might expect but, in others, there was no change at all, in fact these cases often couldn’t see any change in the area that was operated on.

This led Dr. Maltz to the postulate that there was an ‘interior’ self image and if a person’s  interior self image gave them the idea that they had an unattractive, too large nose then nothing could be done that would help them in the way of surgery.

He eventually came to the conclusion that self image becomes a ‘golden key,’ because;

“1. All your actions, feelings, behavior-even your abilities-are always consistent with this self inage.

2. The self image can be changed.”

Perhaps the first step in changing a self image is taking honest stock in just what that self image looks like. If you are often stopped from doing something by the belief that you just don’t have the ability or just aren’t good enough, you need to change your self image. A first step in this direction would be to change your ’self talk,’ all those things that you say to yourself which are mostly things others have said about you in your past.

How forgiving of yourself are you, when you percieve that you have made a mistake? Do you beat yourself up over it and call yourself abusive names? How often do you compliment yourself on a job well done and what are your thoughts before you set to a task? Do you encourage yourself and say you can do it, or do you tear yourself down before you even start and say you’ll probably mess it up?

Change the way you think, about yourself and change your results.

It might sound counter-intuitive to some, but the way to be making a demand on god”s provision for healing is by quieting your mind.
Your body knows how to heal itself, after all, it replaces all of your cells periodically. By ‘getting out of the way’ and stilling your mind for at least fifteen minutes everyday, you can allow your cells to connect with Source Energy and, in this way, you will be making a demand on god”s provision for healing.
The way to do it is to sit in a quiet place where you will be undisturbed. If you have a favorite yoga position then use that.
One way to quiet your mind is to just watch your thoughts. You can also focus on your breathing. Breathe deeply and slowly using abdominal breaths.
Before this meditation affirm to yourself that your body knows how to heal itself and all you have to do is relax and breathe. In the stillness of the void, you will be making a demand on god”s provision for healing
