Your body should be your servant; don’t allow yourself to become its slave…. Mind is the supreme power; it will create everything the body requires. But until you actually have that realization, you must use your common sense. It is wisdom to obey the health laws of God, and believe without doubt that mind is the supreme force. You are the one who has created your present bodily condition, and you have the power in your mind to keep your body in good health. If iron is missing in my system, I suggest iron to my mind and the condition is corrected. When the body comes under your control, it will obey whatever you tell it through the powerful suggestion of your mind
Look after the body, but be above it. Know that you are separate from your mortal form. Put up a great mental barrier between your mind and body. Affirm: “I am apart from the body. No heat, cold, or sickness can touch me. I am free.” Your limitations will become less and less…. Make up your mind you will not accept any conditions imposed on it by the body. But denial alone is not enough. You must train your mind to be completely apart from body consciousness.
Perhaps you are seriously concerned about your health, or a mortgage payment. Not finding an immediate solution, you start worrying about the situation. And what do you get? That sinking feeling in your stomach, a headache, nervousness, heart trouble. Because you do not clearly analyze yourself and your problems, you do not know how to control your feelings or the condition that confronts you. Instead of wasting time worrying, think positively about how the cause of the problem can be removed. If you want to get rid of a trouble, calmly analyze your difficulty, setting down point by point the pros and cons of the matter; then determine what steps might be best to accomplish your goal.
Whatever it is that you fear, take your mind away from it and leave it to God. Have faith in Him. Much suffering is due simply to worry. Why suffer now when the malady has not yet come? Since most of our ills come through fear, if you give up fear you will be free at once. The healing will be instant. Every night, before you sleep, affirm: “The Heavenly Father is with me; I am protected.” Mentally surround yourself with Spirit and His cosmic energy and think: “Any germ that attacks me will be electrocuted.” Chant “Aum” three times, or the word “God.” That will shield you. You will feel His wonderful protection. When you learn how to depend on mind, it will work in everything, whether conquering disease, or creating prosperity, or realizing the supreme goal of life-finding God. From the teachings of PY.
