The Power of the Mind
The placebo/nocebo effect.
Many of us have heard of the placebo effect. This was discovered when tests were being done with drugs and half of the test group received the drug while the other half received a placebo. A placebo is also refered to as a sugar pill, although they don’t have any sugar in them. In fact they have inert material in them.
What researchers often find is that when people believe they are receiving a pill that will affect them in a positive way, they experience the effects of the pill.
This is proof positive of the power of the mind.
A Nocebo is the Placebo’s evil twin. In similar tests, a person is given an inert pill and told that it has some drug that can possibly cause vomiting. Some of these people experience the vomiting. These are the people who belive they will experience vomiting.
We are so lucky to be the recipients of such a powerful entity as our minds that we can create ills and health by the simple exercise of belief. All religious doctrines also support the fact that nothing is created in the physical realm before it is created in the mind.
Look at your life. This is what you created. If you want your life to change, then you have to see it first in your mind and then you have to believe it.
Easier said then done but non-the-less doable as can be attested to by any successful person.
