Option and Health
Imagine living in a world where we are each in charge of our own health. Where disease doesn’t have the power to take over our bodies without our permission. Current research is showing us that this is indeed the case, if we’d only believe it to be so!
Many of us have taken on a 19th century view of how the body works. We tend to see our bodies as separate from our minds and see disease as some external agent to which we succumb. We then seek healing from external sources (medications, doctors and surgeries) rather than accessing our bodies’ natural propensity for health.
Current research in health is allowing us to take a different perspective and revealing that our minds and bodies are one and the same thing. That our thoughts and emotions, (usually considered “mind”) are bio-chemically represented in our “bodies” – blood, brain, tissues. What we think impacts our physiology and our internal bio-chemistry influences what we think. Mind and body are two parts of the same amazing system. The Option Process helps us to identify thoughts we have that may be causing disease and to replace these thoughts to create the possibility for increased health.
Inner Strength
Inner Strength is an intensive two-week fitness program for your mind and soul that will help you to develop Herculean capacity for whatever comes your way. When something happens in our life that we don’t want to happen and we perceive as “bad” or “negative” the first thing we try to do is explain it. Depending on our internal explanations we can create more stress and anxiety leading to more health problems or we can create less. When you learn to take care of yourself, no matter what, you will approach life, not as a threat but as a challenge. Less stress and anxiety leads to better overall health.
Calm Amid Chaos
Are you an optimist or a pessimist? When events around you seem out of control or even catastrophic do you see it as a disaster or an opportunity? Do you believe that your answers to the above questions are static or can they change if you choose to change them? Finding new ways to think about past, present and future events is one of the most effective ways to lead to increased optimism. A number of studies now show that optimists live longer, healthier lives. In Calm Amid Chaos you will learn to maintain an inner quiet and strength in the face of challenging and seemingly incomprehensible events. With strength comes optimism and with optimism comes better health.
Power Dialogues
In Power Dialogues you will learn techniques that help others, and yourself, to overcome self-limiting beliefs that fuel discomfort and unhappiness. When we experience anxiety or sadness our bodies respond with depressed immune function. By learning The Option Process Dialogue you will learn to break out of the cycle of anxiety and sadness and help others do the same. You and those you mentor will gain a stronger, more effective immune system and lowered risk of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Unacknowledged beliefs are a root cause of a suppressed immune response. PowerDialogues will teach you to get to this root cause of feelings of discomfort and you’ll notice the resulting difference in your health.
Fearless
Fear, in its many forms, can keep us from achieving our full potential. Science is teaching us that fear can also have a more broad reaching effect on our health and wellbeing. Many of us have known for a long time that stress and anxiety can lead to a decline in health. When we learn to reduce or eliminate fear from our lives, in the process we also reduce stress and anxiety, which in turn leads to greater health and wellbeing. In Fearless you will learn to understand the rationale behind your fears and can then identify the beliefs that fuel them. Learn to change these beliefs and you will banish the fears and the effects they produce on your health.
