Practicing Sankalp Srishti for Health Recovery: Powerful Insights From My Talk With Sister BK Shivani
“The body can be treated, but healing begins within.”
This was a powerful insight shared by an oncologist who was himself a patient, and it resonates deeply with Sister BK Shivani’s wisdom.
In my recent podcast with Sister BK Shivani, we explored a subject that is often overlooked in discussions about illness and healing—the incredible role our mindset and energy play in the healing process.
Let’s reflect on how we, as individuals, can strengthen our inner power to aid our healing journey.
Healing starts within!
Many people face complexities when they receive a diagnosis, whether it’s cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any other serious health issue.
- We often focus solely on the external—the doctors, the treatments, and the caregivers. But we tend to neglect a critical aspect: our own role in the healing process.
Whether you’re undergoing surgery, receiving treatment for cancer, or managing a chronic illness, Sister BK Shivani emphasized the importance of recognizing our own healing power. While healthcare professionals can provide the necessary treatments, it’s the energy within us, our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, that can make all the difference in the world.
Here’s a story that illustrates the power of the mind in healing…
Sister BK Shivani shared a transformative story from a hospital visit that truly summarizes this idea. She met a doctor, an oncologist, who had spent his career telling patients, “I will heal you.” But when he found himself in the same position, facing an advanced stage of cancer, his perspective changed entirely.
He admitted that all his life, he believed he was the one healing people, but now, as a patient, he realized that his treatments could only go so far.
- In fact, he shared that 40% of healing came from medical professionals, while 60% depended on the patient’s mindset.
This eye-opening revelation highlights something Sister BK Shivani often teaches: The mind plays a huge role in the healing process.
- It’s not just about the medicines and procedures – it’s about the energy and thoughts that we carry with us through our journey.
- Fear, worry, and negativity can impact our body’s ability to heal, while positive energy and calmness can support the healing process.
Healing begins within, and we must take responsibility for the energy we cultivate in our minds and hearts. When we acknowledge our power, we align our physical treatment with a healing energy that radiates from the inside out.
This mind-body connection is not just a spiritual concept, but a scientific one. Research shows that stress, fear, and negative emotions may hinder the body’s ability to heal, while calmness, positivity, and inner peace may boost the immune system and promote recovery.

The science behind the mind-body connection
When a person believes in their ability to heal, the body often follows suit. This mind-body connection has been observed in a program for reversing coronary artery disease, where individuals with severe blockages in their arteries undergo a week of treatment, including lifestyle changes, meditation, and visualization.
- Remarkably, about 96% of the people who have participated have seen significant improvements, with some even returning to their daily lives without needing surgery.
What’s the secret?
- The mind’s ability to visualize health and healing helps release blockages, not just in the arteries, but in the energy body.
- This process is sometimes referred to as Sankalp Srishti, which means thoughts create our world.
- The thoughts we have—the beliefs, the emotions—create the environment for healing.
It is no longer just about treating the physical body; it’s about addressing the root cause of the problem—the mind.
The white dress analogy!
Sister BK Shivani explained spirituality with a simple, beautiful analogy: “Wear a white dress first thing in the morning, and then take care to keep it clean throughout the day.” This is how we should treat our minds—just like a white dress, we must take care to keep our thoughts clean, positive, and in alignment with healing.
- Daily mindfulness: Just as you would avoid stains on a white dress, avoid negative thoughts throughout the day.
- Immediate correction: If negativity slips in, don’t wait. Correct it immediately and stay on track. Check out these 5 powerful steps to master negative emotions!
So, how does the mind influence the medical outcome?
An important point that’s often overlooked: medical treatments alone don’t always determine recovery. It’s also about the state of the mind. She explained that two patients with the same diagnosis, and undergoing the same treatment, can experience very different outcomes based on their mindset.
- Mindset shapes recovery: Two people can receive the same diagnosis and treatment, but their minds will determine how well they respond.
- Power of belief: When the mind is positive and aligned with healing, the body responds more favorably. But when fear, stress, or negativity dominates, healing can be hindered.
One story that stands out is that of a man who had struggled with high blood pressure for 10 years. After years of taking medication, something incredible happened—he stopped his medication on his own. And within just three months, his blood pressure normalized.
How did this happen?
It wasn’t just luck. This individual credited his transformation to a simple yet profound practice: repeating five empowering affirmations daily. These thoughts became like background music in his life, constantly playing in his mind. His affirmations included:
- “I have a perfect, healthy body.”
- “My blood pressure is normal.”
- “I am a powerful soul.”
- “I accept people.”
- “I am at peace.”
Another remarkable example involves a man who applied this same principle of healing to his 86-year-old mother-in-law, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
- Despite her age and the severity of the diagnosis, her son-in-law turned to a unique healing technique: charged water.
- He used affirmations and high-vibrational energy to infuse the water he gave her with healing intentions.
- After a few weeks, the doctors were amazed to find no trace of cancer in her body.
Although the logical mind might struggle to understand how this could happen, for this family, it was their reality. They believed in the power of positive thoughts, and it worked.
These examples show how powerful our thoughts can be in shaping our health. From affirmations to faith healers, many cultures believe in the mind’s ability to heal the body. When medicine is combined with the power of the mind, the results can be truly miraculous.
How to use your mind and affirmations to heal your body?
Incorporating positive affirmations into your life can be a game-changer. Here are a few tips on how to use them effectively:
- Create your affirmations: Start with statements that promote healing and well-being. For example:
- “I am in perfect health.”
- “Every cell in my body is vibrant and healthy.”
- “I am strong, powerful, and healing.”
- Say them out loud: Repeating these affirmations multiple times a day can help shift your mindset and energy.
- Visualize: Along with affirmations, try to visualize yourself healthy and whole, free of any illness.
- Consistency is key: Like the man who used his affirmations constantly, make your thoughts a regular part of your day. Just as you listen to music on repeat.
If you’re going through a medical procedure or struggling with an illness, try adopting these thoughts:
- “This surgery is going to be a divine experience.”
- “My body is healing rapidly, and everything is going perfectly.”
- “I am healthy and strong, and I will never need to return to the hospital.”
Healing is Mind, Body, and Spirit
In conclusion, medicine, nutrition, and treatment are important aspects of healing, but they only make up part of the picture. The mindset and emotional state are crucial in the healing process. If you don’t work on clearing emotional baggage and cultivating positive thoughts, you may not fully recover—even if your body appears healed.
The healing process, therefore, is not just about physical treatment; it’s also about healing the mind and spirit.
Here are a few important steps to take when trying to maintain a healthy mind and body:
- Let go of past emotional pain: Holding onto negative emotions like hurt or resentment can manifest as physical blockages. It’s important to consciously let go of these feelings.
- Practice forgiveness: Forgiveness isn’t just for others—it’s for your peace of mind. Letting go of grudges can release emotional tension that might be affecting your health.
- Embrace acceptance: Accepting the present moment without trying to control everything can bring peace and reduce stress, which has a direct impact on health.
Stay committed to both your physical health and mental peace.
