When my friend, Peter, posted this on Facebook last month I gasped out loud at its simple truth. Let’s break it down:
The human mind is a spark of God: It’s the creation of the Divine, so it is a spark of the almighty.
Powerful mind: Maybe you don’t think the mind is that powerful. But I can tell you that it is. Believing is that powerful.
Believing intensely? It’s the ticket.
Think about how many studies have shown the effectiveness of placebos. Sugar pills that people believe will make them feel better. They believe and that believing makes them feel better.
Think about that for a moment and then read that graphic again.
I am awed by its simple truth.
I work with the mind all the time in my hypnotherapy practice and the results clients get by simply harnessing the mind and directing it, opening it up–those results astonish even me. And yes, even by Skype or Zoom. Even there. And maybe even more so, that way.
Glad I came back to read previous posts. I needed this reminder today!
My dad was a also a hypnotherapist and counselor. He helped a lot of people with addictions and pain management. When I was in high school he taught me self-hypnosis and it’s something I go to again and again, even now, to manage anxiety and help me focus. When my kids were born it was self-hypnosis that got me through natural childbirth. Everyone thought I was crazy going without any kind of pain blockers, but I didn’t need it. The self-hypnosis did the trick. 🙂
I don’t follow organized religion even though I’m Jewish but have always felt there is something beyond ourselves and that we are all connected by a universal energy.
You know I believe, and I have watched it work throughout my life. I also believe in miracles, and the power of the mind….I know that if I feed my mind positive wonderful things positive things occur. If I say I don’t have any money…..well my brain will do all it can to make me right! So I am well, I have sufficient for my needs….all positive things. Keeping my energy high helps me see solutions that are hidden when I am in a low energy state.
Oh yes! I’ve practiced self-hypnosis and guided imagery for 30 years, and they work. I am also a woman of faith. Interesting timing with your post and mine this week. I interviewed the founder of Guided Imagery. xoxox, Brenda
My favorite yoga sutra is 1.2 “Tada drashtuh svarupe avasthanam” tells me that the seer abides in his own true nature. That nature is God. We are all God.
I love this. I was thinking specifically of a friend with cancer while I read it. She is a woman of faith, and while I don’t share her particular brand of faith, I can definitely attest to the ability of faith to work miracles.
Lovely. I think I needed this today. Sometimes I don’t believe in my choices, or I question them. Questioning is okay, as long as you come to some resolve.
The mind is astonishingly powerful! I believe in believing!
