Mind Over Matter

Mind over matter is the belief that the mind is more powerful than the body.

It is within the power of your mind to control and to be a compelling force to your body and the world around you.

We all know the power of the conscious thought and we are just starting to understand the massive power of the subconscious mind.

Of course, we know that the subconscious mind is not aware if it is told lies or the truth. That is why people turn to healing within the subconscious mind.

Remember the M*A*S*H episode when Hawkeye has this sneezing attack? He ends up in bed because he is so sick.

They bring in Sidney Freedman, the psychiatrist and after some investigating he is able to help Hawkeye recall his past.

His cousin that he adored and idolized had taken him out in a boat and pushed him over the side. Hawkeye’s young idol tried to hurt him and it was buried deep in his subconscious mind.

The smell of a wounded soldiers wet and moldy clothes triggered the sneezing attack because he had never fully expressed his anger to his cousin.

That is the power of the subconscious mind! That is why some people seek hypnosis for healing.

Mind Over Matter And Memories?

Our senses are linked to our memories......

.....that is why “Open Arms” by Journey takes me back to my high school gymnasium after the basketball games....

.....or the rain reminds me of being a YMCA counselor......

.....or eating mint chocolate chip ice cream reminds me of my Dad.....I could go on and on!

That is how powerful our mind is. It has memories buried deep down that affect who we are and how we live.

That is why tapping into mind over matter is so powerful. To dig out those negative feelings allows us to move forward.

Mind over matter allows your mind to be in control.

When we fill our mind with worry, fear and doubt it is like junk food thoughts.....

.....Once we filter out the junk and fill our mind with healthy thoughts it will create a stronger mindset.

A mind filled with a junk food mindset would not be able to have mind over matter because it would not have a positive foundation of health.

Yes, there will always be skeptics. They believe that the mind can not be that powerful or that you can’t create anything with your mind.

Skeptics are people that must see the evidence before they believe anything. Believing is seeing, right?

Well, not if we are talking about electricity, germs, radio and TV waves that are transmitted and of course.....God.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen the waves that are coming into my house so that I can watch Oprah.

And in the case of God, heaven and angels.......believing is seeing. When you have the belief or faith, you absolutely know that it God is there.

Do you know one of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves?

Mind over matter.

It is the knowing that our minds are great creators and healers. We have the ability to do anything......yes, anything, we put our minds to.
