How Our Beliefs Change Our Own Biology

October 18th, 2008 by John

This is a very important development, especially if you

  • care about your health
  • care about your quality of life, and want it to be a long and rewarding one, or
  • care about other people
  • want to know what you can do about your concerns

If you are in a hurry, skip this intro and just watch the 3rd video below – it will give you the most valuable conclusions, and stands well in its own right.

But I actually recommend you to watch the three videos in sequence.

They feature Bruce Lipton – a doctor who studied how cells function for decades, including cloning, genetic engineering, and other modern research.  He really knows his stuff.  What makes him different is he makes it understandable.  And he takes a holistic view, incorporating areas of science that medical science has not yet fully woken up to.

The first one – 3 minutes – sets the context for the rest of the knowledge, and answers the question “what can I use this specific knowledge for in the rest of my life?”

Here they are, first the 3 minute intro:

This second one is the first hour of a presentation, in which Bruce shares what he’s discovered about how cells work.  Amazingly, he does this in simple words, and makes something that I myself never really understood in school science lessons very simple and obviously relevant.  It is a bit dry at times though, so if you hate science go straight to the third video – nerds and geeks, watch this one also.  It’ll elevate your understanding!

Here is 64 minutes of how cells function, and the biggest fallacy in modern DNA research:

The third one gets practical.  He brings together a very wide-ranging set of discoveries, from physics, maths, biology, chemistry, and medicine, explaining how phenomena such as energy healing, spontaneous remission, and connectedness actually work. What are the implications?  What is the one thing that we can do to best help ourselves?

Finally 95 minutes of practical application, including where Darwin went wrong about Evolution and how that discovery helps you live a healthier and happier life, and avoid being abused by companies that have a vested interest in selling you more and more medicines:

You may be wondering what a posting about medical research is doing on the website of a Harrison Assessments Master Distributor?? Of course, there’s social contribution: you need to know this stuff.  But yes, there’s more … here’s why this is important to our work here:

Through HA it applies directly to our work in the workplace.  Harrison Assessments is designed to measure a person’s belief, and then give a reflection of how those beliefs are likely to result in work-related behaviour, and ultimately to predict success or failure at work.  Dr Lipton’s work throws new light on just how impactful our beliefs are, not just changing our behaviour and our results, but even changing the DNA in our bodies.

Look at it this way – work is the single most important survival activity humans do, and is the glue that creates our huge interconnected communities.  Our beliefs about work are as important to us as the relationship to your body is important to a cell in your body.

With HA you can get a precise measurement of the impact of your beliefs on your work and on your productivity.  With the beliefs Dr Lipton shares, you can change your beliefs, change your biology, and boost your performance at work.

With HA you can even get a view of the impact of ANOTHER PERSON’S beliefs on their work, helping them change their beliefs, and boosting their performance.

Do you need to know what HA shows you?  Well, I suppose you don’t need to. I mean, you can live the rest of your life not knowing how your beliefs shape your results.  Just like you can live without knowing how your body works and how it connect you with your community – your body knows how to do that and was doing it for you even before you had any awareness of it.

But Is it likely to be useful to you to know?  Absolutely.  Especially in the light of the understanding that Bruce has shared in these videos.

Enjoy. And please post your reactions below, whatever they are!!

PS a big thank-you to Barb, who put me onto these videos with a throw-away comment she made!

It’s not your role to make others happy …

July 29th, 2008 by admin

I subscribe to quotes from Abraham-Hicks.com – and unlike many others I subscribe to, can recommend their material.   If you’ve watched one of the initial editions of The Secret, you’ll have seen Esther Hicks and will know that she originally articulated much of the law-of-attraction thinking the movie is based around.

Here’s a quote that I got from them today:-

“It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay  attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who you really are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the  benefit of observing you.

“You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment.”

I particularly like that last bit – the bold emphasis is mine.

Stay in balance!!

Protect your Mind

April 17th, 2008 by admin

Hi Guys,

While this is not yet 100% conclusive evidence, I think there’s enough concern that we should find ways to reduce our current level of dependence on cellphones:-

Check out Dr Mercola’s article about cellphone dangers

Even if it’s hyped, and part of it probably is, there’s been enough bad news about the impact of radiation on our bodies and on our brains it’s not worth taking the risk just for the sake of convenience.

Ideas that occur to me:-
1. when in the office or at home, develop the habit of forwarding your cellphone to the landline (and of course, the habit of unforwarding it as you walk out the door!)
2. use handsfree when we can without disturbing others
3. get a headset – no, not a bluetooth, and (apparently) not a wire earphone either – designed to avoid transmitting electromagnetic waves into your head
4. if you have an old cellphone, replace it as soon as possible with a new one designed to minimise emissions – these days there’s a big difference between the best and the worst

Do you have any suggestions of your own?

I’m putting this here on our blog, to invite you to make your comments so that everyone can benefit.

Amazing video about the Brain

April 16th, 2008 by admin

This one is an absolute GEM.

Imagine a brain scientist … who has a stroke … not only surviving it but coming back able to tell us exactly how it feels as different parts of the brain cut in and cut out, and the insights she learned  … here she is, Jill Bolte Taylor, one in a million.

http://www.holistichongkong.com/Articles/My-Stroke-of-Insight.html

Ever wondered how left and right brain truly function?  Ever wondered where the ideas of Nirvana, of ‘Me’, of Presence, all come from?

It’s 19 minutes long.  well worth taking the time!

What causes heart-attacks?

March 6th, 2008 by admin

Think you know the answer?  Really?  This video interview of a new study may shock you with the conclusion …  and I really want you to know what they recently found out:

go here

The video is 9 min 55 sec … by the 5th minute you will already have life-saving new insights.

Yes, I know this is totally off-topic for Human Potential, but it’s one of those pieces of information that can change lives.

If you care about your own health, or that of someone you know, watch it now!
