How to change your physical body

I was on sun (and, um, applied little bit of alcohol on it as well, which was really stupid idea) which caused slight discoloration. Then,after few months, another discoloration occured,which I am not really sure why, since scar should have been healed by now. Actually, it does not really have anything to do with scar, newest discoloration occured BELOW the scar. I really dont get it.
My dermatologits says that this scar is completely invisible, my family is trying to convince me about that, and also psychologist (that scar left me extremely depressed) and another psychologist.
But that is bullpoop, since I am obsessed with that scar so much, and want it to go away,I spent lot of time staring at it in the mirror in many different angles, and also under different lights, scar is visible, unfortunately :/, at least in 1 of 4 sides,and always in darker/dark places and under direct light.

I really,really want to get rid of it, and do whatever it takes, learn whatever I must only to get rid of it. I am searching for alternative and safe ways,such as meditation, affirmations,naps,etc. And I would rather try to avoid any products, I used 1-2 of them, and they only made scar worse.

Just to reaffirm... Back on post 79 of this thread, I recommended/requested that people illustrate their posts by recounting some of their own experience with manifesting physical-body changes.

And a couple of people - loapatti and sunshineXTC - have actually done it. So, THANK YOU.

I believe you will find that threads here on Pavlina, as well as on other forums, have more power when they express something from your personal life. It inspires the rest of us to "take heart"... learn from you, and feel more confident.

Actually MORE so, as Athletes mentally rehearse their respective Sports all the time,
it's even MORE effective this way, than the physical practice.

as a child/teen I was always rail thin.
I would internally tell my cells to remember (as it all stays stored in cellular memory) that you are once again thin. I did it and now weigh 117, 5"6', late forties.

Did the same w/large pores which became smaller, and told my body to produce more collagen and I look ten years younger.
Consistency and intense desire/belief is key. Good luck!

More collagen in your 40's is more or less how your Hormones work anyway.
Now,
do that when you're over 60+, then we'll talk, or not. Good luck is right!

Once your bone-ends fuse, you are the height you are. Rejoice!

You shrink from poor posture, not recommended for various reasons. You were created to live UpRight

As one part of the process it's pretty accurate. Good for your awareness

Before you try to change your body, Change your mind
For positive body-changes, always start with positive-emotions.

Hi guys,

My first post of any real substance since registering.

In support of jdiddy's original post I too am an amateur bodybuilder.

One of the books I own is the Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the book he recommends the use of visualisation to assist in bodybuilding.

He also talks of how he utilised visualisation himself (and I write this from memory as I don't have the book to hand) by picturing his biceps being the size of one of his bodybuilding heroes.

For those who do not the know the full details: Before becoming a major movie star and later governor of California; Arnie was the most successful bodybuilder of his generation and was renowned for the size of his biceps.

Seems to me that he;s the type of guy that successfully uses intention manifestation whether he realises it or not.

Another book on the subject I own is Body for Life by Bill Phillips (the guy who owns EAS).

Whether he realises it or not Bill uses affirmations while training. He lifts weights while mentally speaking "I am building my body for life." (again from memory).

Bill is in awesome shape.

Hi Faergor,

I've struggled a lot with acne. And honestly, the struggle continues. Not as much as before, though -- I think I've finally learned what I need to do, now it's a question of applying it.

I've learned something pretty cool and important: what you focus on expands. Pretty much every LOA teacher says this or some variant of it. Another good one is "energy flows where attention goes."

I can pretty much create acne at will, just by obsessing over it. Cool superpower, huh..? I started to notice this nifty thing happening a few years ago: if I got a zit on one side of my face, and worried about it, I would get another one on the other side -- like a mirror image. I can also create it on my chest, and then make it go away again. I can do this pretty reliably, so I don't get it on my chest at all any more. My face is harder because I can't just wear a t-shirt and stop thinking about it.

If I don't worry about marks, they eventually fade on their own. If I do worry about them, I create more.

Here's what I think happened with your "random discoloration" below your scar. You obsessed so much over the pigmentation in the scar that your body/the universe/etc was like "oh, you want pigmentation? Well, here's more pigmentation for you!"

Stop. Just stop. Stop touching your face. Definitely stop spending hours examining it from every angle. Stop looking at it. Do whatever you can to stop thinking about it. Your desire is already there -- for the scar to go away. Now just STOP getting in your own way!

You cannot directly look at your face. You need a mirror. So, just get rid of all the mirrors at home.

I honestly think that would help. I meant to recommend "cover the mirrors" to Faergor, so thanks for reminding me.

Unfortunately other people use MY house so I can't cover ALL the mirrors...

after reading this thread, which inspired me to create an account here, i have to say it seems like the obvious choice to just visualize a healthy life/strong body now(as if you created it you can un-create it), and simply do away with the disease you believe you have.

Besides the cool positive effect you got, Criseyde, I like your post because you recounted your actual experience - not just something you thought about, or read from a book. Or saw on a web video. So thanks for that!
