Why Do I Still Get Sick?

I should be sleeping but I am up with bronchitis burning in my chest.  I am a very healthy person and I don't get many colds, but when I do, I always end up with a bronchial infection.  Why?

I am a student of the Law of Attraction and other life principles.  I do my best to take responsibility for the results I see in my life.  I compare the mind to a movie projector and my thoughts are the film.  If I think the same old thoughts, then I will get roughly the same old movie, and how boring is that?  Who wants to see the same old movie year after year?  It becomes obvious how it will end!

As I change my thoughts, the movie that I live in also changes.  I feel powerful when I acknowledge that I am the writer, director, producer and principal actor in this movie.  So why do the old patterns still throw me for a loop?  Why are they still here?

 I was sickly as a child.  I was the one who would miss three weeks of school at a time, with colds and flus and anything that went around.  As I grew older and learned about family systems, I saw how I carried much of the tension of my alcoholic family.  I was often the purifier of the toxic energy in that household, although I didn't know it at the time.  I just knew I threw up a lot.

It also didn't help that I grew up in a home with two smokers in the pre-information age.  Back then, it was nothing to throw the kids in the back of the car (without seat belts), then have both parents light up cigarettes.  I'm sure my system paid

Then I learned a little about what it means to be a Gemini.  The body parts that are associated with my sun sign include the bronchial passages and lungs.  That confirmed what I already know about my own vulnerability.

And now I know about the power of my thoughts, about universal laws.  To my logical mind, it seems that I should have more control over getting sick.  I no longer acknowledge myself as "sickly" and instead, focus on my good health.  Yet I still get sick.  What does this mean?

I read today that Jerry Hicks died.  I am only vaguely familiar with Jerry and Esther Hicks and the Abraham channellings.  I read a bit on the internet and was surprised to find such controversy!  I read that Jerry Hicks' illness was originally presented as a spider bite, that there was an attempt to mislead and misdirect, because if Hicks got sick, then all the millions of dollars he raked in with his Law of Attraction teachings would be exposed as fraudulent.  It seems it has finally leaked out that he died of cancer.

How?  If he was one of the "experts" in this area, how could he contract this widespread human illness?  And why do I have bronchitis again?

I have no judgment of the Hicks situation and I have little knowledge of it.  I do, however, see that just because we profess to consciously direct our thoughts and just because we believe in the Law of Attraction, doesn't mean we are exempt from human experiences.  For goodness sake, Wayne Dyer just had a bout of cancer! 

What I do know is that the more conscious I am of my thoughts, the more power I do have over myself and my reaction to life circumstances, and perhaps that is the magic of the Law of Attraction.  Instant manifestation and having all my dreams and goals come true right now might be fabulous, and I do work on that, but more important to me is that I am aware of where my mind goes.  If I still get bronchitis, well, I don't know how to explain it.  But I do know that bronchitis doesn't knock me out, stop me from living my life, or make me feel like a victim.  The gift in it is that I take a little better care of myself, surround myself with positive thoughts and angelic assistance, and make me more aware of my thoughts. 

So as I am hacking and drinking tea and rubbing cedarwood oil on my chest, I am grateful for any little bits of insight that come along.  Meanwhile, I am closer to the angels as I am forced to ask for help.  I am compelled to take the time to ask Michael to vacuum the toxins out of my chest and Raphael to beam his healing green light into every cell of my body.

If I can figure out how not to get bronchitis, I will let you know.  Until then, all is well.
