Connection between Mind and Body

Connection between Mind and Body - Heal yourself

Amongst the many mysteries of the human personality, one of the remarkable once is the mind-body connection. Interestingly though the mind is subtle, and the body is gross, yet our mental thoughts have their physical consequences upon the parameters of the body.

An interesting experiment was conducted by Dr. Stewart Wolf ‘when pregnant ladies would visit his clinic with symptoms of vomiting, he would try this out. He would give Ipecac to them a drug that induces vomiting and naturally, the symptoms would increase. He would then say, “I’ve got a wonder drug that has just been released by great pharmacy company and I’m going to give it to you. It was tried on 10,000 patients and worked every time”. With those words he would administer the same Ipecac. The ladies would take it and symptoms of vomiting would disappear through the night. How did that happen? When I read this story I try to understand why does vomiting happen? Interestingly, there is no physical mechanism that induces it. It is all triggered by the mind and that is why when the mind became convinced that I don’t need to vomit the symptoms disappeared. This is the reason behind the Placebo effect. A patient is administered a blank pill but told it is a medicine. And the Placebo effect has a 50% effectively when compared to the actual medicine.

And the reverse of this also been observed by medical science which is remembered illness or also called white collar hypertension. What is that? Your bodily parameters were absolutely alright but when you went for your annual medical check up to the hospital, your BP was taken and the doctor said “you have got a marginally increased BP - 130/90”. The patient said, “Really doctor, I was not aware”. The doctor said, “Don’t worry, its white collar hypertension”. What is that? When you visited the hospital the mind decided I must be sick that is why I am in this place seeing all these white collar people here. And when the mind became convinced something is wrong the BP increased. In other words the mind can impact the body, negatively or positively. That is why the concept of holistic health is becoming so popular nowadays.

Norman Cousins an American journalist has described his journey of curing himself of illness merely by working upon his mind. He was diagnosed with leukemia or blood cancer and he decided to fix it by fixing his thoughts. He got 500 humor movies and with their help he laughed and laughed and laughed. Alongside, he would daily meditate that his body is releasing millions of WBCs that are consuming the cancer cells. And the consequence his cancer went into remission, and he continued to live for another 20 years

So what I wish to bring your attention to the importance of our thoughts. They impact the quality of our work, the quality of our life, the quality of our relationships and every other realm of our life.

Ipecac is taken by mouth to cause vomiting after suspected poisoning.

placebo effect is defined as a phenomenon in which some people experience a benefit after the administration of an inactive "look-alike" substance or treatment. This substance, or placebo, has no known medical effect.

Break your Limits

This is the story about the elephant and the Rope. Once upon a time there was a tourist who was traveling through Thailand. He was passing by some elephants and he suddenly stopped because he was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. There were no chains or no cages and it was obvious that the elephants could at any time break away from their bonds, but for some reason they did not. The tourist saw a trainer nearby and asked him why these animals stood there and made no attempts to get away. Well, the trainer said when they were very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age it's enough to hold them. As they grow up they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the Rope can still hold them. So they never try to break free. The tourist was amazed. These animals could have any time break free from their bonds, but because they believe that they could...

So expect problem just like when you are going uphill your climbing a hill you know the going will be tough.

Weaknesses is also a Strength

Once upon a time there was a young woman who lived on top of the hill. Every day she had to walk down the hill to collect water from a river. She had two pots to carry water which she hung upon a pole so she could carry it over her shoulders and it went on. Later on one-day one of her pots got a small crack along inside. She observed the crack on the pot and decided she could still use it. So every day the woman carried those two parts down the hill to the river she filled them and walked back up the hill balancing the pole across her shoulders. And by the time she reached the house the crackpot would be only half full while the other pot would be full to the top and the crackpot would glance at the other pot which the water was still filled to the top and the crackpot began to feel worthless. The fully filled pot was proud of its accomplishment while the crackpot felt ashamed that he wasn't able to accomplish the same amount of water as the other part did. So th...
