LOA and the physical body

[MetaCognition]

So for the past few weeks, I've been implementing the conscious usage of the LOA. I still have lingering doubts since I am in the early stages, but each day I see more and more success. My internal positivity is generating external results, most notably being a huge increase in social activity and acceptance by others. Yet, one thing is making me doubt the limitations (or lack thereof) of the law of attraction, and that is the physical body.

Let's say I really want to have clear skin. I never had much of an acne problem, but my skin isn't 100% clean and smooth as some old redness lingers. So is it then the case that with consistent affirmations and an overall faith in the powers of the mind, I can convince my body to remove some redness off of my face? Is subconscious worry preventing my face from healing at a faster rate?

In the film The Secret, they talk of a man who willed himself to walk again one day after being in a plane crash and being completely paralyzed. I am sure that no one on here has a story that intense, but do people have life examples of how they have used LOA to alter their physical self?

Hi MetaCognition,

It was the 80’s and Caroline was most unusual for those times; she was vegetarian, detoxing, fasting a few times a year, meditating, practising yoga, drinking pure water and studying to become a naturopath. She was also the happiest and the healthiest person I’ve ever seen.
Caroline knew that I have been through several years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive and that I was having great difficulty coping with the disappointment.
So, in 1988 Caroline gave me rose crystal and “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay as a Christmas gift. She looked kindly into my eyes and said :
” We are responsible for the state of our health or lack of it. If you are willing to do the mental work, anything can be healed. Stop smoking, read this book, do your daily affirmations, keep the crystal close to you day and night, visualize yourself pregnant and you will get pregnant. Don’t just believe it, know it, feel it ”.
Even though we have been working together for a few months, it was not until a few days before that Christmas that she mentioned that she had cancer when she was 18 years old – now she was 32. She told me how she cured herself through detoxification of the body and mind (thoughts). Often she was joking that curing herself of cancer had a side effect; she gained access to the unlimited potential of her mind.

In May of 1989 I found out that I was pregnant!!! I gave birth to my son in Jan 1990.

Love,
Ramai

Hello everyone,
I am new here and just wanted to kind of touch base with everyone and say hello. I have been practicing meditation for several years now. I had never done any guided meditations. Since I started doing the guided meditations, I found that the severe pain in my back and hips was starting to feel much better. My husband committed suicide in January of 2010. I had been suffering from depression and hadnt really left my bedroom for a year. I guess I was not only grieving but also suffering from self pity. I really just wanted to die. I just recently watched the movie The Secret. It really blew me away. Since watching this and practicing the meditations, I am beginning to feel joy and a great sense of hope in my life again.
