See book keywords and concepts |  Depression is too often considered to be an issue of "mind over matter." Friends, family, and sadly, even therapists, will tell you that self-discipline is the way you can kick these mind-states. The truth is, rather than being crazy, neurotic, or hopelessly psychologically damaged, you may simply be deficient in certain nutrients. Most mainstream medical practitioners overlook the fact that mood, behavior, and mental performance all depend on your balance of neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers of the brain. It's not just mind over matter, but matter over mind, as well. |

Testing Your Mind/Body Response
At this point, I recommend you learn a simple muscle test derived from the healing method of Behavioral Kinesiology. This test will demonstrate to you that at each moment your thoughts, intentions, desires, etc. exert total control over your body. I will refer to this test several times in this book whenever it may be useful to find out whether a particular food, medicine, beauty product, situation, environment, or even a particular desire is conducive to your health or not. |

The keys to your brain function are the chemical messengers of mind and mood called neurotransmitters. As they travel around your brain and nervous system, they help determine how you feel.

Here's the important part: we can influence our brain function by supplying the right nutrients to make our brain cells and neurotransmitters work at their peak. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Pain relief may be mind over matter. According to new research, just the belief that a pill will relieve pain can cause the release of endorphins, the brain's natural pain-fighting chemicals. This finding is the first direct evidence that endorphins play a role in the well-known placebo effect.
THE STUDY

But he'd demonstrated something even more fundamental about the powerful nature of human intention. The REG data offered a tiny window into the very essence of human creativity - its capacity to create, to organize, even to heal.*? Jahn had his evidence that human consciousness had the power to order random electronic devices. The question now before him was what else might be possible. |

Placebo—The True Healer?
The placebo effect works in a similar way. Placebo is a Latin word, which translates as, "I shall please." If something pleases you, it automatically triggers the release of pleasure hormones in your body, which means that in the event of an illness, you are likely to experience a healing response. In the field of medicine, the placebo effect is a phenomenon described as a measure for testing the efficacy of new drugs or therapies. |

"Think positively," "just do it," and "mind over matter" are common themes. Others focus on stress management, behavioral modification, and relaxation techniques. Don't get me wrong;—these are great skills to have. Undoubtedly, we could all do better with stress management and could benefit from honing these skills. However, this is not what will eliminate pain. It doesn't require positive thinking. It requires accurate thinking. |

Spiegel's conclusion seems reasonable to us. Do mind-body techniques increase longevity among terminal cancer patients? We don't know. Nor does Spiegel, at least not yet. What we do know are two things about medical science: first, clinical trials are complex imitations of reality; we must expect an array of findings, many of which contradict one another. It follows that scientific progress is rarely a straight road; rather the path to understanding is a crooked one. |

I myself have witnessed continuous synchronic-ity, miracles, and what can only be described as magic for which I have no reasonable description. |

Christian Meditation / Eastern Meditation
The word meditation is a red flag to many Christians because of its prominent role in the New Age Movement (which is a rehash of Eastern mysticism, including Buddhism and Hinduism). Meditation and prayer were designed by God for our fellowship with Him and are practiced all over the world by people of all faiths and walks of life. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These results come from a series of alarming investigations into mind over matter (psychokinesis), remote viewing, precognition, near-death experience and other phenomena clearly foreign to the materialist yet very real. Human operators interacting with machines through their intention can often create, destroy or move electrons in repeatable trials, just like the observations of the quantum physicists and zero-point field researchers.

But you can also avoid the chronic stress response by putting matter over mind. How? By biochemically manipulating your endocrine system and your brain. Here's an obvious example: Drink less coffee. If your adrenals aren't in a constant uproar from caffeine, you won't trigger the stress response every time you have a minor problem. Another simple example: If you're nervous, go ahead and follow your natural instinct to pace the floor. | | Along with control and release, it is invaluable in enabling you to put mind over matter.
If you have a strong support network of friends, family, and trusted colleagues, you can endure powerful stressors without internalizing them as stress. Also, if your stressors do overwhelm you, and become stress in your life, your support network can help you to minimize the stress before it wreaks havoc on your brain and endocrine system.
One study of people with no support networks vividly depicts how vulnerable to stress people are when they bear it alone. | | You will learn ways to put mind over matter, and matter over mind.
The endocrine system is an absolute miracle of mind/body coordination. So let's continue our tour of the brain by considering your amazing endocrine glands, which work in close association with your brain. It's your endocrine glands that enable your mind and body to function as one.
How Your Endocrine System Affects Your Emotions
The limbic system's hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and pituitary gland are so important that they are sometimes called the "second brain. | | A Brief Tour of Your Brain: Putting mind over matter and Matter Over Mind
It's time for you to learn some nuts-and-bolts information about your own brain.
By the end of this chapter, you'll have a basic, ground-level understanding of neurology. You'll know the fundamentals of how your brain works. This will enable you to appreciate fully why things like good nutrition, exercise, certain pharmaceutical drugs, resistance to stress, and natural medicinal tonics are so important to your intellect and emotions. | | This is a classic example of "mind over matter."
As you can see, all of your neurotransmitters have a profoundly important impact upon your life. If your neurotransmitters are not furnished with the proper biochemical environment, your intellect, memory, and emotions will suffer.
Nonetheless, problems with your neurotransmitters can often be remedied quite quickly—in some cases, almost immediately. This is possible because your neurotransmitters are merely "free floating" chemicals rather than permanent neurological structures, which can take years to rehabilitate. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Author and religious leader Terry Cole Whittiker, who teaches the power of mind over matter in everyday life, once taught that it did not matter what one ate because it can be transmuted by the mind. Although this is ultimately true, it has its price. The question can be asked, "Is this a worthwhile way to spend one's valuable mental energy, by using it to overcome the effects of junk food intake?" Once Terry Cole Whittiker experienced the power and higher vibration of a raw-food diet, true to her dedication to her own evolution, she adopted more of a live-food diet. |

DR. SULMAN: In the mid 1950's Dr. Felix Sulman began his research on those who suffer from high serotonin levels because of their own inability to metabolize serotonin.

I think of cancer every day, but I also think of how strong my body is, how good it feels most of the time. I still talk to my insides. I have a feeling of integration of body, mind and, probably, spirit, which I have never before experienced. Cancer introduced me to myself, and I like who I met.

I was traveling with a friend in the Vale of Kashmir, India, among the beautiful lakes and gardens of Shalimar in the lower Himalayas. It was November, dangerously late to be in this land of early snows. But it was glorious; and so we lingered. On the day we were to leave, I for Egypt and my companion for Israel, a major snowstorm hit; it was frightfully cold as we sat waiting in the tiny airport. |
