Connections - Spirit, Soul & Body
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
- Albert Einstein
Research on the link between the spirit, soul (mind, emotions & will) and the physical body is pouring in at an increasing rate and more and more commonly showing up in the popular press. After you have established CLARITY on your goals and found the COMMITMENT to move ahead, the next step is to be sure that your perspective on health and disease is not outdated. The CONNECTIONS between your personal stress and disease is well established. In fact, groups like the Mayo Clinic, Stanford Medical School, Cleaveland Clinic, the CDC and more attribute over 90% of disease to stress.
Now this is not the circumstantial stress that we think about such as traffic, stressful jobs, finances or teenage children. The stress that kicks off disease processes is physiological stress. It is actually our response to external or circumstantial stress that causes the problem. Our beliefs drive our response to stress therefore driving our lives!

"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not,
