...[digests. Poor digestion works] by impairing the quality and quantity of the blood, thus cutting off normal nourishment from every organ, part, and cell, and in doing so, contributing to a general physical breakdown.
There is only one way to remedy this trouble, and that is by changing your mental attitude. When the digestive organs original: "organs of nutrition" have declined, they can be built up by sending increased nerve currents, or Thought Force a concept in New Thought philosophy where focused mental energy is directed to the body to stimulate healing, to the affected parts. This restores normal conditions more quickly; however, unless the patient changes their mental attitude, nothing will provide much permanent benefit. I will provide directions for a thorough mental treatment of these organs, which will do much to restore healthy conditions, but remember that your recovery depends very significantly upon your mental attitude—the quality of your thoughts. As long as you allow the poison of Fearthought a term used to describe chronic anxiety and negative expectations, which were believed to manifest as physical toxins to remain in your system, you are not out of danger.
You will notice that at the end of this lesson, I recommend the use of verbal auto-suggestions positive statements repeated to oneself to influence the subconscious mind or affirmations in connection with the use of the hands. This method makes the "talk" referring to the internal or spoken dialogue used during self-healing easier. I wish to say right here, however, that someone who has practiced these techniques for some time and who has attained great control of their mental forces needs neither verbal affirmations, auto-suggestions, nor the use of their hands. Instead, they can direct a current of Thought Force straight to the parts of the body needing stimulation. However, because the majority of you have not reached this stage, and many of you do not yet have the perseverance to practice until you do reach it, I think it is best to make the path as easy as possible for you. Therefore, I recommend verbal auto-suggestions and the use of the hands. I have added verbal auto-suggestions to the hand movements in the treatment for Equalizing the Circulation a practice intended to balance blood flow throughout the body using mental focus. Repeat the words, either in a whisper or in your natural voice—the main point is to say them meaningingly, using them as a vehicle for your thought.
