10 Amazing Examples of Mind Over Matter

Great article from The Mind Unleashed on 5 February, 2014 at 09:57



While we often think of our bodies and minds as two distinct entities, it turns out they are much more entwined than we might assume. Researchers are continually finding evidence that the brain has a distinct power to manipulate the body’s physiology. As these 10 examples show, the mind/body connection can work in our favor or detriment, depending on our knowledge of a situation and our ability to control our thoughts.

Book I Recommend: E Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

A fabulous down-to-earth explanation to help us understand that, not only, is there an incredibly powerful power that exists; but that we can tap into it. And, tap into it as confidently as when we plug into a wall outlet and expect there to be power available. Pam Grout even lays it on the line that it doesn"t matter what religion you are, or if you are even religious at all, that it doesn"t matter what you call the "power" as it exists either way. And she"s prepared to prove it to you in nine do-it-yourself experiments. Good stuff!

Amrit Yoga Recommendation

Yoga serves many purposes which tie in very nicely to my mental training teachings.

There is no question that yoga helps a person to build strength, and flexibility. It is common to see a person that practices yoga regularly as having a long, lean, toned body.

When I first learned of yoga, I remember thinking "Well, some of those positions don"t look much different than the floor exercises and stretches I had learned in gym class."

I have come to learn that nothing could be further from the truth.

2014 US Open Sporting Clay Championship

Wendell Cherry, John Woolley, Gebben Miles...Do any of these names ring a bell?  If not, you are probably not familiar with the world of clay shooting.  If you recognized one or more of these names, then you are aware of how easy these competitors make shooting look! The art of shooting clay targets has been around for ages, but it hasn"t always been looked at through the same pair of sport- lenses, like golf or football.  Although it"s "Greats" don"t have preeminent public reputations the way that Peyton Manning or David Beckham do, their abilities are just as noteworthy.  These competitors travel throughout the globe, with guns in tow, as they break more than just records and win tournament after tournament.

The Truth About Lies

May"s Theme is Breaking Bad Habits

I am pretty sure that all of us, at one time or another have told a white lie, whether it was out of fear, feelings, to gain respect, or simply saving face.  Our brains flipped a switch and the lie came forth on our tongues.  Some people even think they are doing the right thing because, in their head, they are saving someone embarrassment, hurt, or inevitable consequences.

US Open Sporting Clays Championship

Did you know that Clay Shooting has been around since the early 1900s?  We have the crafty Brits to thank for this game that has been described as "golf with a shotgun."  In fact, England held the first ever British Open.  Since the early 1900s, Sporting Clays has had a whirlwind of re ...

Toxicity of Cigarettes

May"s Theme is Breaking Bad Habits

Gone are the days of most things pure.  America"s food industries pre-package everything.  Few of us are savvy enough to figure out that box food is bad, and detrimental to our health.  Well, the tobacco industry is no different.  Gone are the days of dried tobacco leaves rolled up in some paper.  Did you know that there are over 600 ingredients that go into a cigarette?  It"s true.  And while I am shocked at that number, I am even more surprised that burning a cigarette causes chemical reactions so that over 7,000 chemicals are released into the atmosphere.  For us.  To breath.  Did you just consciously hold your breath?
