Secrets of Mind-Body Health

You’ve heard the saying, You are what you eat.  But did you know that positive thoughts are just as important to the health of your brain… AND your body too?
Obviously positive thoughts are very important. How we view ourselves, how we perceive the world around us, and how we interact with others have profound effects on keeping our brain healthy. But it also has a very powerful impact on our overall well-being.
It is widely agreed among the medical profession today that most all disease and negative aging conditions are DIRECTLY tied to stress, and our ability to handle the stress around us. The good news is that this ISÂ within our control.
No matter what challenges we face, we can choose to look at the glass as half full, rather than half empty. In fact when you consider the current mess the world economy is in, it becomes even more important to DO something about our mental outlook and stress management.
Why? because when we are stressed our brain focuses down into its older, more primitive centers. Then instead of being able to come up with solutions — we end up trapped in fear and worry cycles that just go on and on. And most of us NEED to come up with some new solutions today.
According to Marilyn Albert, PhD, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University, having a healthy brain and body requires an ability to adapt to life’s challenges. It also requires that we maintain a degree of control over our lives, and feel as if we are contributing to our families and to our society.
Her studies showed that two things are important to mind-body health at any age: (1) having stress under control, and (2) and having a solid sense of self worth.
Proof We All Read Minds

Are we all natural mind readers? The evidence is YES. It all has to do with what are now being called mirror neurons. And you DO have them in YOUR brain.
Back in 1996 three neuroscientists were probing the brain of a macaque monkey when they stumbled across a curious cluster of cells in the premotor cortex, an area of the brain that helps us plan our movements.
They found that the cluster of cells was active not only when the monkey performed an action, but also when the monkey saw the same action performed by someone else. The cells responded the same way whether the monkey reached out to grasp a peanut, or merely watched as another monkey or human grab a peanut.
Later experiments confirmed the existence of mirror neurons in humans, and revealed yet another surprise: In addition to mirroring actions, the cells also mirrored sensations and emotions. Because of mirror neurons we are practically in another person’s mind, says Marco Iacoboni, neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. The conclusion? We are all natural mind readers.
Since their discovery, mirror neurons have been implicated in a broad range of behavioral phenomena. Apparently when we interact with someone, we do more than just observe the other person’s behavior. Some scientists believes we actually create brain-based internal representations of the other person’s actions, sensations and emotions within ourselves, as if WE are the one that is doing the moving, sensing and feeling.

Proof We Influence Slot Machines

Can you manipulate a slot machine to pay off, or perhaps simply know intuitively what slot machine to play and when? The evidence is YES. For some people it absolutely IS possible to predict which slot machine will pay off, and when to play to hit a winning jackpot.
The Mysterious RNG
At the heart of every casino slot machine is a computer chip called a random number generator (RNG.) The job of the RNG is to simply generate number combinations that show up as the symbols on the payline of the slot machine.
But what few people in the gambling industry know is that RNGs have been used for over 40 years in psychology experiments to test the ability of the human mind to influence random events.
Helmut Schmidt, a physicist for the Boeing Company Laboratory, created the first RNG for a mind-over-machine experiment back in 1969. His test subjects focused on trying to influence the movement of a circle of lights controlled by a RNG.
Within a decade many other parapsychology researchers were using RNGs in experiments. At Princeton University, test subjects were asked to try to influence RNGs to produce either larger-than-average or smaller-than-average sequences of numbers. The most effective subjects reported feeling a resonance with the computer that involved a loss of awareness of themselves and their surroundings  — a state similar to the focus achieved in deep Alpha-Theta meditation.
The Researchers Concluded that…
Nearly a half-million experimental trials were conducted at Princeton. The results were summarized in a book —Margins Of Reality — by Professors Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne. The book reported that some people absolutely DO possess a powerful ability to affect (or perhaps predict) random flows of RNG data.
Additional RNG studies were performed at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in 1986. The SRI researchers concluded that successful test subjects were using intuition (in the form of precognition) to determine the exact moment to press a play button.
Then in 2000 Physics World, an international journal for physicists, published a paper on RNGs that concluded the human mind can sustain the direction of any naturally occurring localized deviations from chance, and could affect the patterns by which the bits are arranged in time.
The Birth of the Slot Machine
During the late 1980’s RNGs were produced commercially by a company in Nevada International Game Technology and immediately became a common feature in Nevada’s slot machines.
No one has done a detailed study of the big slot winners. But the combined RNG research results make a persuasive case that under the right conditions, a person could intuitively identify the most pregnant slot machine to play and feel the right moment to play it for a winning jackpot.
In 1997 one big winner, Sue Henley, went to the New York-New York casino in Las Vegas after feeling a strong intuitive resonance with a particular machine. I gamble when I have a feeling, she explained after hitting a $12 million willing jackpot on the machine. I only play when the hunch or feeling comes up.
Yhe Question of Luck
Virtually everyone has powers of precognition knowing something before it happens and intuition knowing on a deep level that something is so. These human powers are often attributed to luck. But investigations of the brainwave configurations of both lucky and psychic individuals reveal similar unique patterns.
Psychics and healers use their powers to intuit events and initiate a healing response in others. Brain scans of millionaires have revealed al brainwave configuration very similar to psychics and those who hit winning jackpots..
So what is at work here? These people have simply developed a unique brainwave configuration allowing them to focus and tune into the environment on very deep, crystal-clear levels.
