SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

THERE is healing power in
4 mental influence. The medi-
cal profession has always recog-
nized this fact and today no in
telIigent practitioner fails to avail
himself of it. The trouble with
which society il confronted to-
day about the healing power of
the mind is that in "all-informed'
quarters it is recognized as the
only healing power to the ex-
clusion of all other powers or
influences concerned in the res
toration to health.
Mind. as a powerful healing
agent, is sometimes difficult and
often unpleasant to use, says DR..
kenelm Reid (practitioner). Most
people, he says, disbelieve in 1t
utterly. But he insists that with
out it medical science is limited
in value. What really heals an
illness? The healing power OF
Nature" which is the unconscious
will to get well. If we help this
unconscious will with all the
power of our conscious minds,
we are bringing to bear the most
powerful of all curative forces.
just as we can only achieve sue
cess in anything by ceaselessly
willing it, so we can only get
well by ceaselessly willing it.
What DR.. Reid tells us to do,
then. is to take our consciousness
of illness and deliberately con-
vert it into consciousness OF
health. We are to do this con-
tinuously, by training ourselves
to abolish all reflections and an
ticipations bearing upon illness
the moment they shape them.
selves in our minds. We must
never allow ourselves to expert
ence train of morbid thought.
Some morbid physical and emo
tional experience we cannot abol-
ish, and we must deal with them
by deliberately constructing the
general ideas, and if possible the
correct mental images or pictures,
which are the exact opposite of
these experiences and holding and
fixing them in our minds. These
are the essentials of the work,
and the more completely and
logically it Is carried out the
more difficult it is, but the
greater is the benefit We derive.
The more realistic are the ideas
and mental pictures and the
greater our faith in the posi-
bility OF their being actual. the
more efficient they will be. Faith
grows from practice and results.
The elements of the work are so
simple that few people are able at
first to take it seriously--to
imagine health. activity and use
fulness, and to keep on imagining
them. Not to delude ourselves
into the belief that we are already
in that healthy state, but to keep
on constantly constructing in our
imagination the state in which
we wish to be.
A very important point is that,
using the term morbid" in its
widest sense. selfishness is as
morbid as disease This method
is therefore handicapped at the
start If we use it with the selfish
idea Of personal comfort. An
essential of its success is that it
should be performed with the
object of enabling us to work Mt
our utmost capacity for the uni
versal good. ~
