Does mind over matter really exist? There is some research that has validated this idea . I would like to take it even further and show you that I believe this is one of mans greatest achievements; our ability to create is one of the greatest gift our Creator has bestowed on us.
For example, when someone asks you to not think of a pink elephant, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For most of us it would be a pink elephant. As hard as we might not want too, it’s nearly an automatic image. It’s a fact that we have vivid imaginations. This will help you tremendously as you implement mind over matter .
When we engage our minds in a way that will help us especially in matters related to our health, why not use a tool that has a proven success record. Sports figures use a form of mind over matter when they practice making basketball shots mentally. It’s been proven that mental practice is as effective as actual practice. In healing our bodies from injury or illness we would visualize ourselves being well, using very vivid images.
The key is to involve our subconscious mind that is on duty 24–7. We would give a command to our subconscious mind to help our body heal. Using the mind over matter strategy you would in a relaxed state of consciousness visualize yourself using your creative imagination, to be exactly the way you want yourself to be; perfectly healed.
In using mind over matter, you are not wishing, you are not hoping, but you are actually communicating to your brain via the heart brain connection that what you are picturing in your mind’s eye will actually come true. This is the ultimate form of mind over matter.
Your brain and heart working harmoniously are telling your subconscious mind to perform whatever is needed inside your body to align itself to create the visual image created in your mind. When your subconscious mind, your heart, your brain, and your spirit work together to create the best outcome for you, you truly will have succeeded in using the strategy of mind over matter.
When we use a mind over matter technique we are in fact using a biblical saying: “….Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2). When we use our creative imagination and visualize ourselves the way we want to be health-wise we are renewing our mind to see the end result or solution. We are seeing ourselves beyond the problem to the solution. This is what Jesus always did, and this is what we must learn to do. I encourage you to try the mind over matter technique I believe it’s a great tool to add to your tool kit. Godspeed, Carbie out.
