I can prove to you that the body and the mind are connected.  By now you know enough about me that I am not the type of person that just likes to say things without proof.   So here is how you prove body-mind connection and how you can begin to change perceptions about aging so that you can live happier and healthier more fulfilling life.  

Think of the last scary movie that you saw.  When I was a kid it was Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street.  I knew it wasn't real but when that music came on and the camera panned in closer to the victim......man did my heart begin to race.  You may even think about the last sappy movie that you saw.  If it was a love scene or something really sad, it may've jerked tears from your eyes.  Why??? Very simple.  The mind/brain thought that it was real.  This is why virtual reality games can be dangerous for people that have heart conditions.  It is so believable for the mind that the body reacts in such a way which makes you believe that what is happening is real.  

Sounds good theoretically, but how can you prove it to me now?  No problem, I will abate your doubts (if you have any).  Let's do a little experiment ok?  In a few moments I want you to close your eyes and think of something that makes you feel uncomfortable.  Many of you have already done this with me but just follow along.  When you begin to think of that thing that makes you uncomfortable, pay particular attention to the area of your stomach or chest.  You are going to notice that there is a discomfort there too....a physical reaction.  Some notice that there heart races.   Some people find that there breathing pattern changes; there may be a tightness or bad feeling there.  Ok...do that now and just notice what happens.

Feel anything???  That's how the body reacts to negative thoughts. 

Now....close your eyes a second time and think of something that you would love especially without limitations.  In other words, there was no financial limits there was nobody getting in the way or nobody telling you that you can't.  Imagine that what you want to do is possible and doable.  Close your eyes and notice the difference in the feeling of what you feel from the positive to the negative thought.  

Did  you feel that?  Did you notice the difference between a positive thought and a negative thought?  I'll tell you something else that's really neat.  There is something called Kinesiology and what that basically translates into is body talk.  It's a way that we can ask the body yes & no questions so that the body can give us a response by muscle testing.  To explain it very simply, an arm is extended out with the elbow locked in place.  A question is asked that would require a yes or no answer.  Then the arm is pushed down.  If the individual is able to resist, the answer to the question is yes if the arm goes down with little resistance, the answer is no.  Of course it's more complex than this but you can do this experiment at home:
1.  Take two small pieces of paper.  On one write a plus sign and the other a minus sign  and fold the pieces so that the person you are working with can't see what's written.  
2.  Choose a victim, I mean a subject
3.  Have them extend their arm (right or left doesn't matter) out  with the elbow locked in place.
4.  Give them one of the pieces of paper and have them hold it up to their chest. 
5.  Now push down on the arm and see if the person can  resist
6.  Do the same with the other paper and see the difference

What happened?  

You will notice that each paper will influence the person in a different way.  So not only do our inner thoughts influence our bodies but things from the outside influence our bodies as well.  Pretty neat huh?  You can do this muscle test with different foods to see the level of sensitivity that one has to them.  If the arm weakens the body is  somehow sensitive to the food or the body is rejecting it.  If the arm is strong the body accepts it.  Now please keep in mind that this is to be done for fun and not as a diagnostic tool because there are actually some people that are reversed which means that their body will actually crave bad foods and reject good ones.  This condition requires the intervention of a trained kinesiologist.  

I'll tell you something else that I found interesting this month.   I was listening to a CD program from an individual named Randy Gage.  He was talking about others that walk barefoot on hot coals and how he had actually done it.  The coals were 1200 degrees and he, along with many others were actually able to walk on them without getting their feet burned.  I wasn't willing to do this without proper training but I did want to experiment with ice.  As you know, if you put a piece of ice on your hand, it will give you a burning sensation in about 10-15 seconds when held.  The first time I did it, I couldn't withstand more than about 30 seconds.  I then closed my eyes and briefly meditated telling myself that I believed that I could do it.  When I placed the ice the second time, it stayed there for abbot 5 minutes without a problem.  I then got bored and took it off.  The point is that the mind does influence the body.  And the stuff we tell ourselves and things that we hear from others affects us so profoundly that we may even be living our lives the way others expect us to without discovering out true potential or gifts.  I suggest you do some of the things I wrote about in this letter so that you can see the power of all of this and instead of worrying about getting older like many do...celebrate the fact that you are, and see yourself (in your mind) aging with health, looking good, feeling good and gaining more knowledge.  There is a lot that you can do about the beliefs that were introduced into your mind as a child and even as adults with just simple affirmation.  Sometimes, there are certain beliefs that we receive and accept even though we are not aware we are accepting them.

In what way do these beliefs enter our mind?   The term for it, whether we are children or adults  is waking hypnotic suggestions.  Others can actually put suggestions in your subconscious mind without you even knowing about it.  This can be very damaging especially when you don't know about it.  (more on this in the next issue)
