Connection between brain, blood and stroke

While practicing the Daily Target Praxis mentioned in Simpleology 101, one of the things that I do is Energy Praxis. Energy Praxis requires you to watch and note the things/actions that make you feel good or bad. Then make a commitment to doing more of what makes you feel good and buzz with energy and STOP doing that which drains your energy. I realized that I like reading self empowerment books. One of them is "You can Heal Your Life" by Louise L Hay. It makes me feel good to share what is mentioned on Page 139 of this book about Stroke
"Strokes are blood clots. Congestion in the blood stream in the area of the brain cutting off the blood supply to the brain.
The Brain is the computer of the body. Blood is joy. The veins and arteries are channels of joy. Everything works under the law and action of love. There is love in every bit of intelligence in the Universe. It is impossible to function well without love and joy being experienced. Negative thinking clogs up the brain, and there is no room for love and joy to flow in its free and open way. Life is not grim unless we make it so, unless we choose to look at it that way. We can find total disaster in the smallest upset, and we can find some joy in the greatest tragedy,. It is up to us. Sometimes we try to force our life to go in a certain way when it is not for our highest good. some times we create strokes to force us to go in a totally different direction, to reevaluate our lifestyles."

The analogy of comparing blood to joy and veins and arteries to channels of joy helped me change my thinking and the way I react to events.
