IBS and the Law of Attraction.
IBS affects up to 20% of people globally. IBS symptoms are abdominal pains bloating and altered bowel pattern. Rectal symptoms such as irritation, pain or urgency can be present. There are also non-colonic symptoms.
Treatments of IBS fall into four categories. Patient education, medication, dietary modification and behavioural and psychological therapies are the four categories. Experts now agree that psychological and behavioural therapies provided better long term results.
The law of Attraction suggests that you attract into your life whatever you think about. This generalisation in simple terms means that your thoughts determine your destiny. An enormous momentum was built up after a documentary film, “The Secrets”, was shown on Oprah. It has been used for some time for personal growth, achievement and financial gain.
In medicine, does the Law of Attraction work? A study done in 2004 on 314 elderly subjects and 196 young people associated with rumination and negative thoughts concluded that negative thoughts may be detrimental to health independently of effects. In Reikii, spiritual and personal development and all processes of healing is associated with removing negative Ki (Life Forces) from a person’s energy field, and removing negative feelings and thoughts that have created it.
Negative thoughts, following job loss, relationship break ups and poor assessment, affect self-esteem. These people can feel worthless, insignificant, unsure and easily defeated. A person with high self-esteem has positive thoughts and their thoughts determine their level of success.
In Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does the Law of Attraction apply? What information is given to a person when first diagnosed with IBS? There are some common ones. No one is quite sure why you have IBS.There is no one treatment that works for everyone. Your gut is normal. There is no cure. Stress plays an important role in IBS. You have to live with it. It is also an established fact that most IBS sufferers do not get adequate support from their health professionals.
Is it not likely these negative facts can affect the mind of IBS sufferers and lead to negative outcome? Treatments that focus on the mind are now recommended by experts. Treatment such as psychotherapy and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) are producing excellent results. “Patients who have ongoing IBS symptoms might benefit from a simple, early intervention of CGT, a means of changing thought processes from negative to positive that has been shown to be helpful.” Said Moss-Morris at the University of Southampton Dr .J. Lackner at the State University of New York reported that after four brief sessions of CBT and a self-study manual given to patients, there was improvement in 73% of his IBS patients.
When an IBS patient tries a new treatment, expectation may well create significant improvement. This benefit may not last long because in the mind, there is fixed the thought that there is no cure.
There are cases of refractory Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients after having a course of hypnotherapy living normal lives, eating foods that were previously triggers. In refractory IBS nothing works anymore. During hypnotherapy, negative messages about IBS are plucked from the subconscious mind and replaced by positive ones. This is the Law of Attraction working at its best. Ingrained negative thoughts created negative effects in refractory IBS. After hypnotherapy, positive thoughts produced positive effects.
If you believe in the Law of Attraction, how can you use it to change the course of your IBS? Keep the positives in the forefront of your mind. Convert these positives into your reality and your thoughts and feelings will change. In IBS there are many positives. Your gut is normal. IBS does not lead on to other serious illnesses. Stress is a trigger. you can control stress. You can improve your IBS by getting a better balance in your life. You see yourself one day in total control of your IBS. Whatever IBS treatment you are on, keep your dreams and aspirations positive.
