It is imperative that we understand the roots of our imbalances or difficulties if we are to solve them.  This program, as with every other out there, doesn't contain all the answers, but as stress is the at the root of so many issues, if you can participate in an activity for 30 minutes 2-4x/mo. that will help you think, sleep and behave with more control and focus while alleviating much if not all your stress, why in the world wouldn't you do it?

Our Philosophy

Symptoms are messages from the body that express dysfunction/disharmony in one or more systems of the body. In general, these symptoms are due to something we are doing that we shouldn't be doing, and/or something we are not doing that we should be doing. Dysfunction/disharmony that goes uncorrected leads to chronic disease.

In more detail, disease is caused by one or more of the following: Improper diet, dehydration (body not getting enough water, or being able to utilize the water it is getting), microbial infestation (bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites), virus, other toxicity, under/over activity, prolonged negative thoughts (anger, hatred, etc.), lack of, or poor sleep and mutated or dysfunctional constitution or genetic material (in other words, faulty programming).

Once we are made aware of, and change the behaviors that are causing disease, appropriate detoxification/cleansing, along with acupuncture (or other non-invasive form of energy work) will restore function and balance to the body. Any remaining weakness/deficiencies are corrected through exercises, appropriate diet, rest, positive thinking, and herb/supplement tonics.

 

From The Intenders of the Highest Good Website

It is for yourself that you see others in their highest light

No one is well-served by another who, either consciously or unconsciously, talks about disease. The best thing that you can do for anyone is to hold the light for them, seeing them in their perfect state of wellness. Regardless of what they tell you about their maladies, you do them no favor by agreeing with them about their illnesses. When they are temporarily unable to hold the light for themselves, you can hold it for them. You help them by holding a vision in your mind of them in their highest light. And, in this way, you are not reinforcing their sickness and suffering. You are reinforcing their wellness.

When we first started the Intenders, it was common to hear someone putting their sick friends or family into the circle. We would talk about someone's disease, and then intend that it is healed. This practice went on for quite awhile, but we didn't seem to be getting the results we desired from it. So, one evening, we decided to ask our guides and helpers about this. The answer we received was very profound.
We were told that when we give a name to somebody's sickness that we are giving power unto it. We were reminded that our words have power, and when we speak the name of any disease - whether we think it is our own or someone else's - we are actually reinforcing or feeding the disease. This does not help us if our highest priority is to preserve and perpetuate our lives.

We were also reminded that our thoughts are things, and that we are all transmitters and receivers of thoughts. On a level which is normally invisible to us, these thoughts fly through space, just like radio or TV waves, and they are received by the person we are thinking about. When we send out a thought that pictures someone else in it, this thought is received and it tends to manifest. We are all constantly making suggestions with our thoughts to others of how we would like them to be.

So, when we envision others as suffering in any way, we are contributing to their suffering. Conversely, when we see them in their highest light - happy and full of vitality - that is the message they receive. And that is the message that will help them the most.

From The Intenders Handbook
My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am seeing everyone, including myself, in their highest light - happy, healthy, and whole.
