Mind Control: Do Yourself A Favor And Learn To Control Your Mind
Are you often stressed or depressed? Do you get sick frequently? What if there’s something you can do to change all of that? Would you spend the time and effort to do it? The fact is that there is something you can do to improve your physical, mental and emotional health – not to mention every other aspect of your life. Though it is easier said than done, all you have to do is learn to control your own mind.
Consider that your body is a reflection of your mind. The thoughts you are aware of (conscious) and those thoughts you aren’t aware of (unconscious) all seek expression in your physical form and life. If you’ve thought about this, it’s pretty obvious; but most people simply don’t think about such things. If you haven’t ever considered this reality, I’m sure it seems far-fetched, unlikely, hard-to-believe or difficult to understand. Nonetheless, this is the truth. This is how reality works.
Coming to grips with the fact that your thoughts count is the first step in learning to control your mind. It is a difficult step for many; but, if you don’t understand or believe how your mind shapes and controls your life, health and body, you won’t have any reason to focus your time and energy on learning mental discipline. After all, if thoughts are simply things that come and go – without having any affect at all on our lives – why bother learning to control your mind?
If you’re religious, consider that all religious icons – in one way or another – have said, “As a man thinketh, so it is done unto him.” If you’re more scientific in the way you approach the world, you should already be familiar with Albert Einstein’s opinion on the subject – a view shared by quantum physicists all over the world for nearly a century. If your interests are more practical, or if you are business-minded, then consider the words of Henry Ford, “If you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right either way.” No matter who you are, or what your beliefs, there is someone you trust who has hinted at the great secret of life: “It’s the thought that counts!” Accept it and move on.
Step two involves developing concepts of how the mind operates so you can learn to work with it to produce the results you desire. If you can imagine a television randomly switching from one channel to the next, you have an idea of how the average person’s mind works. Most people “channel surf” in their minds. But, if you see a television behaving in that way, you can bet that there’s someone holding a remote control that’s causing the erratic behavior. Whether their surfing is the result of boredom and lack of concentration, or they’re simply sitting on the remote control unconsciously changing the channel, the outcome is still the same – chaotic signals creating a chaotic experience.
You hold the remote control to your mind. You can use your brain to focus on the signals (thoughts) in your mind that you want to watch on the screen of your mind, or the screen of your life. It isn’t easy at first; but it is possible. Imagine trying to pick up a very heavy weight. You may not be able to at first; but, after some period of exercise – where you gradually increase the amount of weight you lift – you will eventually find that you can lift that heavy weight. Where your mind and thoughts are concerned, meditation is the “exercise” that increases your mental endurance. People meditate so that they can learn to focus for greater and greater periods of time – controlling distraction such as stray thoughts or extraneous noise and activity.
When you learn to control the thoughts you think, you will be able to control your life, emotions and health. Think about it, if you are stressed or depressed, you’re thinking about stressful and depressing things. If you could control your thoughts, why would you continue to think about depressing things? You can indeed learn to control your life by learning to control the mind. It takes effort, but it’s worth it.
YOU Are The Future Of Medicine! Reclaim Your Health By Choosing Healthy Thoughts
It seems as if every week or so there is another medical breakthrough – a new miracle procedure or wonder drug. Well, the real future of medicine looks and sounds a lot more like the history of medicine than what we are seeing today. The latest cutting-edge sciences have come full-circle in their understanding of the human mind-body interface; and today’s most advanced medical advice sounds much like the words of the ancient healers and prophets – “As you think, so it is done to you. “ So,” fear not; be of good cheer.” The future of medicine depends on you; because the future of medicine begins with you. You are your own cure!
Mind, Body, and Spirit: Me and My Cell-Phone Aren’t So Different
Understanding “who” and “what” you are is one of the prerequisites for finding balance, peace, happiness, and control in your life. For example, until you know what a car is, and have some idea about how it operates, you aremore of a danger than you are in control. Your mind, body, and spirit – and the relationship between them – is much more complex than a car – but much simpler, too.
