Wink You go girl!

I am also a big believer that the mind is a powerful tool, we just have to know how to use it & put it to use. From everything you describe, sounds like you're a fan of "The Secret". I have read the book & recently rented the movie. There is a section on self healing. My husband & I have decided to purchase the movie so we have it at home & can watch it from time to time to keep our minds on track and keep the positive energy flowing.
Dodie Osteen (a minister's wife) wrote a book called "Healed of Cancer". She was DX in 1981 with cancer that had metastasized to her liver (Docs couldn't find origin). Docs said she had only weeks to live and said chemo would not prolong her life any and so they sent her home to die. Through strong belief of the power of the Lord and positive thinking, she is alive and cancer free today. Not bad for someone with only weeks to live eh?
Just thought I's let you know I think you right on base!
Lots of hugs,
Michelle
