Positive Words have the Power to Heal

My interest in the power of words began some years ago when I went to a work shop. At the work shop we were given a demonstration to show how words can affect the
body.

The volunteer was asked to hold out his arm and resist the force that the guy doing the demonstration applied. The subject who had a moderate amount of strength had no problem resisting the force applied by the presenter.

The participant was then asked to say a negative statement such as ‘I am weak, dumb and useless. This person was then unable to prevent their arm being pushed down when the pressure was exerted. The experiment continued with the subject being asked to repeat a positive statement such as I am whole, perfect, strong and complete.

After this the strength in his arm was not only restored but also enhanced. This experiment was done with a number of volunteers from the group and the result was always the same.

I came to realise that the most amazing aspect of this experiment was that it didn’t matter if we believed the words or not. Just saying these positive words had an effect on the body. The effect seemed to be neurological.

So my conclusion still stands that Positive words can make us physically strong and negative words can make us physically weak. Put another way, negative words have the power to harm and positive words have the power to heal.
