The Power Of The Mind

Postby Butterfly Faerie » Wed May 17, 2006 4:09 pm

The Power Of The Mind example:

2 researchers were walking through the jungle, they were near the equator where they set up came for the night. It was scorching hot that day and night that one of the researchers woke up in a cold sweat and couldn't get back to sleep. All he wanted to do was get some air and cool his body down so he could go back to sleep. He heard a zipper and instantly felt cool air coming into the tent and was able to fall back asleep.

The next morning he turns to the other researcher and says, thanks for opening the tent last night so I could sleep better. The researcher replies, I didn't open the tent, zipped down my sleeping bag.

The power of the mind, maybe that is what you were expierencing.


There is a situation that i've expierenced with this, my psychairist told me about this, and I've posted it. Maybe I will share mine in time. It's weird.

Here's a fantastic video you should watch when you have a spare half hour. It's from the TED conference and it's a neurologist named VS Ramachandran talking about the crazy stuff he's doing trying to figure out how our brains work. It's an amazing talk and he's very nice to listen to (his accent is fantastic!!) Hope you like it :)

Great post. No doubt the mind creates our reality.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the craziness of things we forget that our negative thoughts are creating a negative reality.

We must remind ourselves to come back into the present moment and just relax.

Omg, I studied philosophy for four years to learn what you just summed up in a cute little anecdote. They're right, education is way overpriced.

Great post.
The mind can create any type of human reality you want.
I've been listening to a lot of Tony Robbins's mp3
and used some of his stuff and it's absolutely true.
Whatever you really focus on starts to reflect on reality.

it's always the mind and what he learned during the years that trigger fears & anxiety....

Imagine if we always used our minds for the better of us.
