If you’re like many of us, at some point you’ve visited a bookstore hoping to find the answer to a problem in your life. Self-help books and recordings abound and, predictably, they define the source of our problems several different ways.
Let’s narrow down our focus to the five main causes for our problems that most self-help writers cite. Those are: physiology, behaviors, thinking patterns, emotions, and conscious beliefs. What you’ll find offered by most writers as a root cause to life’s difficulties falls into those five categories.
A second opinion
Another school of thought says that while it’s true you may be able to change yourself to some extent by addressing deficiencies in those areas, those inadequacies are actually symptoms of a much deeper problem.
What that means is that lasting change cannot be accomplished in life until you recognize the true source of your problems, rather than simply identifying the symptoms. Unless we’re able to go directly to the root of problem areas in our lives, we continue to deal with symptoms which tend to return.
Think of it as a tree with a deep taproot. If the tree becomes diseased, you can choose to cut it off at the ground (get rid of the obvious symptom), but new shoots will probably appear from what’s unseen under the ground. You can, however, dig out the taproot as well as cutting down the tree and completely remove the disease.
Lasting change – the true goal
Here’s another way to think of it: we’ve heard a great deal recently about “conscious intention” and its power to bring about change. Unfortunately, conscious intention or “willpower” doesn’t always bring about lasting change. If it did, we’d all be skinny, happy, and rich!
The reason conscious intentions alone don’t bring permanent change is that they seek to overcome symptoms, not cure the root source. When that fails to make us happy, we usually move on to any number of negative behaviors that move us further away from peace and satisfaction.
When all else fails…blame!
One of the things we tend to do when our conscious intentions don’t overcome damaging behavior is to turn the spotlight on someone else’s behavior. Blaming someone else for our life’s failures is much easier than looking for the root causes of them. Becoming judgmental, however, actually just adds another layer of pain in our relationships instead of solving our problems. Whether we blame a politician, a spouse, or even God for our pain, it’s still a negative behavior that moves us farther away from solutions.
Intentions – Conscious or Unconscious?
Doesn’t it make sense to instead find and deal with the root causes? To begin to do that, we must first identify the things that are blocking us from life and health. Those stumbling blocks are our “unconscious intentions.” If those unconscious intentions don’t match the efforts of our willpower, we’re doomed to failure!
As Dr. Alex Loyd, founder of The Healing Codes reports, scientific research has already proven that basing your future happiness on conscious intention almost never brings the results you desire. The key to lasting happiness in life is in aligning what we really want (our unconscious intentions) with what we say we want (our conscious intentions). Only then can all our energy be focused on improving our lives.
Once we’re willing to stop blaming others and stop focusing on the symptoms, rather than the source, of our problems, we’ve taken the first step to finding health, peace, and happiness in our lives.What do you think of this website?

The Healing Codes – How the Science of Memories Brings Hope
These are tough times. And many of us are feeling it in our wallets. But .. No matter how tough times are, we can’t forget the basics. And the subject definitely is one of the basics. And, without the basics taken care of, how can you get started?
Below is one of the best articles we have ever read on the subject. It lays everything out nicely, it’s easy to read, and, understand, it touches on all of the key issues, and, best of all, when you have finished reading it, you will definitely know which is a very good direction to take given your circumstances.
Until quite recently, little was understood about why our memories invoke immediate physiological responses. Unlike computers, which take in data and process it to create responses, our minds respond instantaneously to stimuli, based on our stored memories. Recent scientific discoveries allow us to understand why, and to create ways of healing our faulty memories in order to heal our bodies.
Our Memories Are Like Holograms
To begin our understanding, we need to know that Dennis Gabor, 1971 Nobel Prize winner, first explained the phenomenon of holograms. What he taught us about holograms is that they are multidimensional images, each portion of which contains the entire image.
Such distinguished scientists as Karl Pribram, Michael Talbot, and David Bohm applied that knowledge of holographic images to the images stored within the mind. They determined that mental images, our memories, are also multidimensional and rich with detail. As with holograms, each section of a mental image contains the entire image, meaning that memories can contain massive amounts of data.
Because those memories stored in our hearts are incredibly detailed, our bodies receive the necessary information immediately to respond physically to each situation.
Transmission of Energy
Going further, we can learn why that physical reaction occurs throughout the entire body. The spiritual heart, the collection of memories stored as images, functions like a hologram. This is important to know, because it explains our ability to influence our own and other people’s physical health through the transfer of negative or positive energy.
An experiment by the U.S. Department of Energy illustrates how this works. In the study, participants had skin cells scraped from the roof of their mouths, placed in a test tube, and moved to another room.
The study subjects were then connected to monitors that measure various physical responses, such as heart rate, and then shown several kinds of television programs. The startling result of the study was that, even though removed from the body and moved to another room, the skin cells had identical reactions as did the host person’s body to violence, romance, and other emotional scenes on television!
Here’s why — human beings begin as a single fertilized cell. As each cell doubles, they retain the exact same genetic markers of that single individual cell. In addition, every cell contains organelles that are representative of the body’s organs.
Global Impact of Positive or Negative Memories
It stands to reason then, that the entire body is affected by the energy of positive or negative memories. A fascinating dimension of this phenomenon is that organ recipients have been reported to take on the attitudes and memories of the donors. The donor’s memories were actually introduced through the cells of the organ transplanted.
And so back to our purpose, learning how to apply what we know about memories and the physical response they induce to bringing about emotional and physical healing. We can “learn” to heal ourselves by refuting the lies stored within our memories so that their negative energy no longer destroys our bodies. It’s that simple.
This kind of healing of our memories can then bring about physical healing for us, and for the people closest to us. By no longer transmitting negative, harmful energy within our bodies and to those frequently in our presence, we can create a true circle of healing.
Understanding how memories are stored within the cells of our bodies and then acting upon those facts to bring about healing is the key to lasting change in our lives. Doesn’t it make sense, then, that we should passionately pursue the tools that can lead us to experiencing healing deep within our hearts?
