The link between arthritis and unforgiveness

Arthritis is connected to an over-critical attitude, says Reverend John Scott, science of the mind practitioner.

NO ONE ever asks for the disease conditions which develop in our bodies, states Reverend John Scott of the Temple of Light, a religious and philo-sophical movement in Kingston, but the science of the mind practitioner firmly believes that our attitudes do affect our health. This, he says, quoting Louise Hay, the writer who has done research on the link between thought patterns and specific ailments.

"We have specific habits which, if done repetitiously, will set up the conditions of disease," Rev. Scott said.

If we can change our attitudes, we can change the health consequences in our bodies. The repetition of 'healing thoughts' in a manner which can be heard and accepted by the subconscious may be a source of healing. Disease did not develop overnight, and so the healing process might also take a while as your 'new attitude' takes root.

The science of the mind practitioner notes that most conditions are somehow connected to a lack of self-love. We can also affirm for others, he adds. He has given some of them and the related thoughts which he said, can heal.
