Mind Body Spirit

Return home from mind, body, spirit
Mind, body, spirit, it sounds like a mystical topic most suited to hippies and so called spiritual gurus. There is a stigma attached to this topic and so many people have assumptions and presuppositions about anything that isn’t common, mainstream thinking.
So what am I aiming to cover here?
Well first of all I would like to expel some of the myths and assumptions that many people hold about a subject such as this one.
Tai chi, meditation, yoga and other ancient, traditional practices were once considered by those of western culture, to be weird and irrelevant to modern society. When we first heard of these things, most of us formed an opinion straight away, simply because the human mind needs to come up with a way to understand and comprehend things.
The problem is that the opinions formed were closed-minded and didn’t allow for the true understanding of such things. This is incredibly limiting because there are quite a lot of things in this world that would create enormous positive results if only we were open to even trying to comprehend them.
Even today, people still attach a stigma to things related to mind, body, spirit. I have mentioned the word meditation, to people who have not even had the smallest experience or understanding of it and got a response such as, “ooohhhh, why would ya wanna get into that crap for?”
Well first of all, I am not a guru and I am not in a cult. I live in a modern society, I have modern day experiences, I own modern day possessions and I am interested in everyday things and logical thinking. I simply use meditation, and other practices to harness enormous power, health and clarity.
Becoming a free spirit

The mind, body, spirit connection is something that is not only documented in ancient cultures, it is also being uncovered in science. So I am not someone who is lulled into this mysterious world of supernatural abilities and such. By the way, that is not what mind, body, spirit is all about. It’s most certainly not magic or anything supernatural at all. But don’t get me wrong, there are many powerful things to be accomplished through understanding some of these ancient concepts.
Science and mind, body, spirit connection
Ask any doctor and they will tell you that the mind controls the body. Have you ever had someone mention head-lice and then started getting an itchy head? Is there lice? Most often there isn’t but the reason you start scratching is that your mind begins to deliver the physical symptoms of something that is a possibility.
This is the self-fulfilling prophecy. There was a guy once who died simply from this concept. One day a man working in a railway yard went into the refrigerator/freezer of one of the cars at the end of the day. Once he went inside to repair a problem, the door closed behind him.
The scary thing was that everyone had just left for the day and went home. He was trapped in the freezer for the night. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he would certainly freeze to death if he wasn’t freed. He began writing messages on the floor of the freezer to document his experience and let those that found his body know what had happened.
He started writing about how cold it was in there and how frightened he was. The messages continued, he went on to writing that he was freezing and feeling rather weak. He then said that he thinks there is only a short time left before his death. The last message stated that he felt he was about to die any moment.
Sure enough, they discovered his body the next day. Upon autopsy, the coroner concluded that he had every symptom of freezing to death. But here’s the mystery; the freezer wasn’t even on!!! He thought it was but it had shorted out and switched off several hours before he even went in there. He should have been quite comfortable in the room temperature freezer.

So what happened to this man?The mind, body, spirit connection was so powerful it even over powered actual reality. The man's own mind convinced him that he would most certainly die and that’s exactly what happened. Because his mind was totally certain of the impending death, his body responded with the symptoms. This is the same thing that happens when there is mass hysteria. The media mentions an outbreak of a deadly and contagious disease and all of a sudden the hospitals are flooded. The thing is, the people that often go to the hospital only got symptoms once they heard that there was an outbreak. There have been cases that it was a mistake and as soon as people hear that it was a false alarm they instantly recover. It’s not their fault, it’s simply that their own minds fooled them. Superhuman strength Another thing worth noting in the mind, body, spirit topic is that of temporary, superhuman abilities. There are reports of little old ladies that have lifted pick up trucks and cars to free a loved one. Are these ladies hiding a secret identity? Super granny maybe? Of course not, and it’s not just little old ladies, it has been reported by so many people that it can’t be a hoax. It’s simply the mind overriding the body’s safety mechanisms through adrenaline, hysteria and such. Under normal circumstances these feats would not occur because the mind has no way of getting into the state required to do this. However, I once had a martial arts instructor who trained his whole life to harness the power of the mind, body, spirit connection. At the time, he was in his late fifties and many witnessed this amazing feat of strength. The man weighed only around 70kg (150 lbs approx.) and was nothing special to look at in terms of muscularity. One day he was standing behind his work truck filled with heavy blacksmith tools when he grasped the base of the rear tray. With one swift movement he lifted the back of his work truck clear off the ground. There was a lot of concentration, involved and synchronicity of all the muscles involved. He had used his mind to overcome the limits that the body naturally has. This is a man who meditates on a regular basis. He began using this as a form of pain control to regain mobility after a broken spine. It turned into amazing power in many areas. This is what I have been working on for the past few years with much success. Using both conventional personal development/peak performance tools and the mind, body, spirit connection, I teach a system for reaching the peak of human potential in all areas of life. It’s as simple as using the right strategies and conditioning them on a daily basis.

This all applies to each aspect of life such as, emotions, physical health/vitality, relationships, career and all other areas.
There are so many levels of our own potential that are untapped and using some of the more scientifically validated aspects of the mind, body, spirit connection, there is so much in our lives that we could do.
Have a browse through this site and check out some of the strategies such as meditation and the tips and techniques section. Keep an open mind and start applying it. I am a man who likes to think on a realistic level and I don’t like to pursue things that are not valid. But I do believe there is some very real power in the mind, body, spirit connection.
If I could give you one tip upon concluding this page, it would be this; condition yourself to feel absolutely certain about your outcomes and goals. Have absolute faith that you have all the skills, tools and resources to make it happen, whatever it is and however outrageous it may be to others.
This is why the faith healers of these evangelical churches are so successful. It’s not the power of God travelling through them, it’s the absolute, certain faith that the people being healed have. The are so certain they will be healed that often they are, this is the mind, body, spirit connection in action.
What an insult to God to claim to have his power. It’s just the power of persuasion and influence that makes these people believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will be healed. This can be applied to every area of life and applies not only to that which needs to be fixed but also to accelerate your life on every level and accomplish any goal.
Practice the mind, body, spirit connection using the tips and techniques on this site and research some of your own. But remember, the only thing that works is the one that suits you. Maybe you have to adapt different methods of meditation and other things rather than trying to force some traditional “way”.
Don’t get overwhelmed and try not to place too much pressure on the process. Enjoy it and be patient, you will begin producing results when you are ready.
