subject: Using The Subconscious Mind For Healing [print this page] There is now scientific proof that we have the potential to use our mind to heal ourselves!
Studies of the mind/body connection and of the power of the body's intention to heal itself are revolutionising approaches to healing.
The Mind and Body Are Not Separate
Biochemists, physiologists and psychologists have discovered that our bodies express themselves as either thoughts or molecules. For instance, the feeling of fear can be described as an abstract feeling or a tangible molecule such as adrenaline. Without the feeling there is no hormone and without the hormone there is no feeling. In the same way there can be no pain without the nerve signals to transmit the pain and no relief of pain without endorphins which block the pain reception. This is a major discovery - every thought produces a chemical in the body.
The Power Of Suggestion
Another scientific discovery was the placebo effect or dummy drug a wonderful use of the subconscious. Studies have shown that by giving patients a sugar pill and telling them it is a strong pain killer, 30% of them will experience relief as though it were the real pain killer. What has been concluded from this is that although the sugar pill itself is meaningless, it forms a suggestion which is converted into the body's intention to heal itself. The body is capable of producing any biochemical response once the mind gives the body the appropriate suggestion. Therefore why not skip the sugar pill and focus directly on the body's intention using the subconscious?
With the focusing of intention through attention you can convert the body's automatic processes into conscious ones, and reprogram them through simple mind/body exercises. Our past intentions may have created obsolete or inappropriate programs that either seem to control us or are no longer serving us in a purposeful way.
Psycho-neuro-immunology
Psycho-neuro-immunology has been proved by medical scientists and is a specific self-improvement technique.. It is the ability to focus the mind in the meditation state then using guided imagery and visualization there is an increase in the T4 cell count which is the fighting cell in the immune system. This is the deliberate use of the subconscious mind!
