Choice - Rose

AFTER YOUR STANDARD INDUCTION ......

While you're resting in this very pleasant way, I am now going to give you some instructions and suggestions. But first of all, I want to make you aware of something. I want you to be aware of the fact that you are able to make a choice, a very important choice, and this, I will now explain to you.

Within all of us, there are two opposing forces at work. One of these forces drives us towards good health and well-being. It is a constructive force. The other force is negative. It can drive us towards illness and bad health, both physically and mentally. It is this negative force that makes us anxious, tense or depressed, and also opens the way for other ailments to be inflicted upon us.

But we have a choice. We can all choose which of these forces to go along with, while we oppose, or obstruct the other. But this choice is real. This choice exists. And from this moment on, you are aware that, at all times, you can choose between health and illness. This fact will be firmly remembered, and remain a part of your consciousness at all times. So make that choice now. YOU CHOOSE TO BE WELL.

And your choice matters. From this time onwards, it will have its positive effect on your very being. Your choice to be well will show itself in the way you eat, exercise, relate to others, and in every aspect of your life. It will come out in your attitude towards whatever happens to you. And you are, from this moment, beginning to feel the beneficial effects of your choice to be well. You can see clearly that your health depends largely on your attitudes, and that you can, and do, choose your attitudes. YOU CHOOSE TO BE WELL.

And having made this choice, from this moment on, you are going to become fully committed to it. You are going to become determined, very determined, that anything that stands between you and good health must be swept out of the way. No matter what it is. And this determination can grow and grow, as you become more and more committed to your choice to be well.

And as you become more and more committed to your choice to be well, so too, you will increase your opposition to illness. Your resistance to bad health will increase each and every day. Nothing must be allowed to stand in the way of good health. You are determined about this. More determined about this than you have ever been about anything in your life before. And even now, as you think about your own determination, you are beginning to feel better. Because even now, you are beginning to fight your problem. And you will fight well, because of your determination and your commitment.

These two forces that lie within us need food in order to be strong. They feed on our thoughts. If we think in a positive way, then this feeds the positive and constructive force within us. If we think in a negative way, this feeds the negative force. So if we are in the habit of constantly thinking and acting negatively, then the destructive force within us becomes stronger than the positive force, and we become ill in some way. And of course, the reverse is also true. If we think and act positively we become healthier, because now, the positive force is the strongest.

You have chosen to be well, and you are determined to succeed in this. You are committed to that choice. And these are positive things. That is good, because you are now feeding that positive, healthy force inside you. But not only are you feeding that positive force, but you are now starving the destructive force and making it weaker. And the more you do this, the healthier and happier you become. So let us now do something to help you become even more successful with this.

I want you now to use your imagination. I want you to imagine that you can see, in front of you, a rose. A flower. A thing of beauty. Just imagine that you are now looking at a beautiful rose, a perfect rose, with a beautiful fragrance. And as you look at that rose, notice how perfect that flower is. But as you look at that rose, I want you to imagine that it has a special magnetic quality. It seems to have the power to draw from you, into itself, all your bad feelings. All your negativity. All the problems and difficulties that have been intruding on your consciousness. You can feel these things being drawn from you. You can feel yourself being purified as that rose takes into itself all your bad feelings. And this leaves you feeling good. You feel calm, relaxed, and happy. You are feeling very peaceful inside, and it feels good. You can feel an inner quietness that wasn't there before, deep down inside you, and it feels good.

But this rose also seems to have another power, because as it draws into itself all your bad feelings, it seems to have the ability to absorb them, and transform them, so that they add to the beauty of that flower. So that rose appears more and more beautiful as it absorbs all those bad feelings it has drawn from you. Even as you look at it now, it appears to become more and more beautiful.

So this rose is transforming something bad into something good. And this means that they cannot return to you. Those bad feelings are now gone. And all you are left with is peace, calmness and relaxation. And these will remain with you. And the reason that they will remain with you, is because of your choice to be well. You are happy with that choice. It is the right choice. And you are committed to it. So you feel calm, and relaxed, and content with that choice. And from this day onwards, you are going to notice a change in your condition. Now, you are going to fight all forms of illness, and head towards good health. And as each day goes by, you'll notice that in every way, you're just feeling better an better. Day by day, in every way, you're going to feel better and better.

So now, I'm going to count up to seven, and on that count of seven you can open your eyes and come back to full awareness. And as you do, you'll feel calm, happy and relaxed. You have chosen to be well, and so, when you open your eyes, you'll already feel an improvement. So on the count of seven now, 1,2,3,4,5,6, 7....
