The Law of Attraction and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
IBS affects up to 20% of people globally. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome are abdominal pains associated with altered bowel pattern and bloating. Rectal symptoms such as irritation, pain or urgency can be present. There are also non-colonic symptoms.
Treatments of IBS can be divided into four categories. These are patient education, dietary modification, medication, and behaviour and psychological therapy. Experts now agree that psychological and behavioural therapies are more likely to be effective that the other three.
You attract into your life whatever you think about according to the Law of Attraction. The simple explanation of the Law of Attraction is that your thoughts determine your destiny. An enormous momentum was built up after “The Secrets”; a documentary film, was shown on Oprah. The Law of Attraction is used effectively for personal growth, financial success and achievements.
In medicine, does the Law of Attraction work? In 2004, a study of 196 young people and 314 elderly subjects associated with rumination and negative thoughts concluded that negative thoughts may be detrimental to health independently of effects. In Reikii, all processes of healing or personal and spiritual development is associated with elimnating from a person’s energy field negative KI or life forces, along with negative thoughts and feelings 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 positive person usually have high self-esteem and their level of success is determined by these thoughts.
In Irritable Bowel Syndrome, does the Law of Attraction apply? When a person is first diagnosed with IBS, what information is delivered? Here are a few. We do not know why you have IBS. There is no single treatment that works for everyone. There is no abnormality in your gut. Stress can trigger IBS symptoms. A cure is not an option. With IBS, you have to live with it. Most IBS sufferers complain that they do not get the support they need from health professionals.
All these facts are negative. Is it not likely that they can lead to negative thoughts in the minds of IBS patients and produce negative effects? Recently experts are recommending treatment that focus on the mind for IBS treatment. These include psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Moss-Morris at the University of Southampton, UK said, “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.” Dr .J. Lackner at the State University of New York reported that there was an improvement in 73% of patients with IBS after four short sessions of CGT and home study manual given to 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 enjoying normal lives, eating foods that were previously triggers. Nothing works anymore in refractory IBS. During hypnotherapy, negative messages about IBS are plucked from the subconscious mind and postive thoughts are added. This is the Law of Attraction working at its best. After hypnotherapy, positive thoughts produce positive results and before hypnotherapy, ingrained negative thoughts make symptoms severe.
Using the Law of Attraction, how can you improve your symptoms of IBS? Focus on the positives. Convert these positives into your reality and your thoughts and feelings will change. Here are some positives. There is no abnormality in your gut. Your IBS will not lead on to other illnesses. If stress is a trigger, you can control it. 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.
