An unbalanced thought is an unbalanced thought. If we give emphasis to it we are really empowering it or encouraging it to continue as is. The old catch phrase is "give it up" or "release it" or "let it go" by simply not giving it any more thought. Thought feeds thought. Nurture, by thought, that which you wish to keep and starve the ones you do not want. The biblical phrase of "get thee behind me" comes to mind. Put negative thoughts out of mind while focusing on and re-enforcing those you want. Some have an idea we can attack these negatized centers from without by assorted means. To some degree this appears to work. I have another theory I'm investigating.
The overriding influence in the universe and its constitutent forces is HARMONY. An individuated focal center will, when left without negative modulation, will relax back into a harmonic state. This because nothing remains unchanged and everything devolves back to Oneness (Undifferentiation) from its formative or differentiated state (matter). What this implies is all inharmonic activity and form will resolve back to Peace if we do not give it inharmonic negative thought/modulation. Simply being Peace will create Peace. Meditation is a form of Peaceful thinking and brings peaceful vibratory modulations. In terms of administering therapies the "bedside manner" or placebo has this effect in the mind of the patient that is ready and willing to be healed. We have been calling this state of Harmony or Peace, Love. So when a patient allows themselves to experience or remember Peace/Love they are instantly returned to that state because they've made a conscious or subconscious decision to let go of their negative thinking modulations and accept Love/Peace/Harmony/Health. A good bedside manner or placebo has this effect on some people - on those willing to give up the pain and suffering. Many of the Western mind-set feel we need chemical concoctions and fancy medical devices to be assured we are getting the best treatment available or possible. This attitude translates into an acceptance that it is OK to give up the malady - being a result of negative self-judgements. Couple this with a good bedside manner, caring nursing and well wishing helps convince the patient it is OK to accept new thoughts of self-love and self-acceptance. Prayer is a form of positive assimilative thinking and will function through the etheric levels, from mind to mind or heart to heart and this accounts for some forms or instances of prayer healing. But again the patient must be ready and willing to accept a more harmonious belief in themselves and their lives. Some of the more gentle forms of therapy such as aromatherapy and massage excel in relieving stress (negative thinking concerning self) and are therefore efficient as "healing" (harmonizing) influences because they work subtly to assure the patient in a gentle and loving way they are lovable and this helps convince them this is so (they are lovable after all if this doctor/therapist devotes so much caring time and attention to them). This is why it is advisable to shy away from negative people and circumstances and seek places of peace such as the quiet country-side, non-threatening churches, like-minded groups of people, etc. In this wise we can see why people are refreshed from a trip to the country or sometimes feel healed or better when attending church or other gatherings of positive people devoted to positive thinking and positive activities. (I'm not advocating going to any church or synogog but if there is one that makes you "feel better" then that is an option. If they make you feel afraid - find another one.)
