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 to Activate the Success Mechanism
Thanks for stopping by our website. Are you fed up of getting mediocre information, when you have put so much effort into getting the best? We are one of the leading sources of information on the subject so you are definitely at the right place.
Have a read of the article below… we are sure you will find it dots all the ‘i’s’, and crosses all the ‘t’s’. On our site we strive to provide the most up-to-date information. Remember that you read it here first, and please tell your friends.
If it were suddenly announced a pill had been developed that would make us successful, the road to the nearest pharmacy would be clogged with traffic! Many of us struggle to find success in our lives, but haven’t found a way to make it ours. What if I told you that the key to lifelong success already exists, and it resides within our own bodies?
The Failure Response
To illustrate how that’s possible, we need to first look at what causes us to fail. Research has proven that the “failure mechanism” is kicked into gear when we face stress in our lives. The chain of events is like this–we face a perceived threat (someone else’s anger, a high pressure work situation, etc.), and our body responds to it in the same way our ancestor’s bodies responded to a physical threat. The hypothalamus in the brain tells our pituitary gland to rally the adrenal system to release cortisol and adrenaline throughout our bodies, making us ready to fight, or run from the fight.
The result of that constant stress reaction literally weakens our immune systems, dulls our intelligence, heightens our awareness of pain, drains our energy, raises our blood pressure, destroys our ability to relate to other people, brings about negative behaviors like deceit, fear and suspicion, and, if that’s not enough, closes off nutrition to our very cells and makes them the perfect environment for disease! Is it any wonder we struggle to be healthy, happy, and successful?
A Better Alternative
What if, instead of our bodies being in a constant state of anxious high alert from all that cortisol pumping through us, we could find a way to use the hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal gland cycle to bring about success? That’s possible, because our bodies already contain the hormone oxytocin, which allows us to respond favorably to stressful situations. All we need is a way to release oxytocin, rather than cortisol, into our bodies in response to daily stress.
Before you learn to trigger the Success Response, start by answering a question. What do you truly want out of life? Dr. Alex Loyd, founder of The Healing Codes, learned in interviews with hundreds of people that what most people want is health, success, or relationships with other people.
Success Response Benefits
The fact is that our physiological response to stress has a major impact in each of those areas. If, as we learned, our body’s “Failure Response” negatively impacts those things, it stands to reason that a physical “Success Response” should have an immediate positive impact, as well. Here’s what Dr. Loyd reports people experience who learn to trigger oxytocin rather than adrenaline when stressed.
Enhanced relationships Feelings of love, joy and peace Increased immune function Reduced stress Lowered blood pressure Counteracts addiction/withdrawal cycle Stimulates human growth hormone to reverse aging Increases trust & wise judgment Modulates appetite and digestion Promotes healing Stimulates relaxation and non-stress energy to allow energy/sleep balance. Stimulates higher neurological activity such as problem solving Opens our cells to nutrition and health
If you knew how to bring about these benefits, instead of constantly experiencing failure, wouldn’t you choose to live in success? Dr. Loyd tells us that it’s possible for every one of us.
You Already Know How
Here’s how–you’re probably already activating the Success Response temporarily through pleasurable experiences such as sex and eating. That’s why we love to do those things! We get a momentary glimpse of what it is to feel great.
But there’s a healthy way to make that feeling a regular part of our lives. To turn on the Success Response, we must simply learn how to recall a pleasant relationship experience that is not overshadowed by negative relationship experiences. Activating that memory of a positive, loving relationship stimulates the release of oxytocin to our bodies.
If loving relationship memories are stifled by negative ones, those negative memories must first be healed. Dr. Loyd teaches Healing Code participants to heal the negative and infuse instead “true love memories” to bring about that positive, healthy Success Response. When our hearts are cleared of the negative garbage and we begin to activate happy, loving memories, we can live permanently in success and health.
