Cosmic Meditation… How To Meditate For Beginners

What power does the brain / mind have on cells?

Does the brain (or mind, whatever you want to call it) has power over cells our body? Can you change the way we do and replace each other, or change the way we look?

The term "mind" is soft. I do not believe there is agreement on the definition used by biologists and neuroscientists. The brain is a complex organ that can regulate many other systems organ, either by the chains of neurons that enervate different tissues (cause muscles to contract). Electrical impulses are sent by neurons that signal chemical release at synapses to communicate with another neuron or muscle. Other ways the brain communicates with other cells is through the release of hormones in the bloodstream. Hormones may change the activity of the digestive system (never start salivating in anticipation of food? Just the idea of eating is enough to release more saliva and start pumping protons from the stomach and digestive enzymes. In an unconscious way, the brain can change how cells grow. During puberty, many hormones return signals to initiate cell division and differentiation in the sexual organs mature. hormonal signals the brain play a role in the regulation of menstruation involves the growth of uterine lining and egg maturation in the ovary. signals of the hormone in anticipation of sex, can make facial hair grow faster. However, you may not want anything to grow. Most of these signals are not under conscious control.

monks meditation

Tibetan monks can raise their body temperature through meditation. Why not help other religions in this area?

In monastery in northern India, thinly clad Tibetan monks sat quietly in a room where the temperature was 40 degrees Fahrenheit cold. Using a yoga technique known as g Tum-Mo, they entered a state of deep meditation. Other monks soaked 3-by-6-foot leaves in cold water (49 degrees) and placed on the shoulders of the meditator. For the unskilled, the envelopes would produce uncontrolled freezing chills. Http: / / www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2002/04.18/09-tummo.html

I heard stories of Siberia as well. There were these three nuns who were stripped of their clothing and thrown to the temperature below zero degrees in their barracks in Siberia. They were expected to die there, with freezing temperatures of 30 and under (does not include a wind chill factor), exposed skin freezes in less than a minute. Their guards in prison was released after one hour expected to be dragging their bodies in cold stone. Instead, they found women linked in singing hymns. The snow had melted in a diameter of 10 feet. They were Catholic nuns.

mind healing

Can the Bio psychosocial model be used as a basis for spiritual healing?

Can the Bio psychosocial model be used as a basis for spiritual healing?

The biopsychosocial model is taught to medical students for the last few generations, especially to those that go into family medicine.

It basically means to consider the entire patient…not just their disease. Consider their personality, their family, their cultural background and their religious and spiritual beliefs and how this might impact on their understanding of the disease, and any treatment.

You are talking about something quite different. First of all, while I use the BPS model in my clinical practice, I’m an atheist myself, so I don’t believe that people have souls or spirits. I do however, encourage patients to use whatever resources they have, or they find comforting.

The mind is indeed very powerful….that is why so many Alt Med practices may seem to help people sometimes via the placebo response. People “feel” better, but they don’t actually “get” better…unless they were going to anyway because it’s a self limited illness or goes into remission or regresses to the mean.

Prayer or a positive mental attitude make no difference whatsoever in the course of an illness or disease. This is without any doubt as numerous studies have confirmed.

There is also some evidence that encouraging people to pray, think positively or do visual imagery may actually be harmful, as when people then don’t’ get better, they may blame themselves or may be blamed by others for “not trying” hard enough or not believing strongly enough. It’s always the last out for the unfalsifiable pseudosciences.

body mind healing

Meditation/Visualization Experts? How can i clear my mind and use meditation to heal my body?

I’ve heard that meditation and visualization can help cure problematic things within the body. Every time i try to meditate instead of visualizing what i want i visualize what i’m afraid of and what i have. Its uncontrollable. I try to calm my mind and do a self-hypnosis if you will to clear my mind completely and visualize positively but my thoughts seem to be contradictive and sparatic even during meditation. Can anyone give me any advice on how to meditate/visualize properly and positively?

Let your thoughts be like watching a parade. Let them pass by without attaching your thought to any one…..just let them go on by.

Peace,

Woodstock
