Healing with the power of thought

All treatment methods that differ from traditional and generally accepted methods in their method of influencing the body are usually grouped under one big name - "alternative medicine". At the same time, different techniques of this direction differ from each other in their nature, method and results of influence no less than, say, therapy from surgery. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, stone therapy - each of these types of alternative medicine helps a person in its own way. And the attitude to different techniques is extremely different. One of the most controversial, but at the same time one of the most effective is treatment by thought.

The key to understanding treatment by the power of thought

Each of us has heard the expression "thought is material" more than once. But what does this mean? It should be taken into account that the reality around us is something purely subjective, therefore, it is perception that corrects the reality in which we live. In such a system, thought is the building material by means of which correction is carried out. Moreover, there is an opinion that not only the brain has memory, but also all the cells of the human body. So they also create something like a mood.

It is not possible to measure statistically how effective treatment with the power of thought is. But we can highlight three main areas that operate with this phenomenon in one way or another:

• Placebo effect. This is the name of the most common self-hypnosis. A person convinces himself of something, and this phenomenon begins to affect him. For example, taking empty capsules or vitamins instead of a quality drug, the patient convinces himself that he will soon feel relief, and it really does.

  The role of self-hypnosis and its power of influence are significantly exaggerated. In fact, this little self-deception can only strengthen the immune system, make the body more resilient. Of course, this can also contribute to saving the patient's life.

  A placebo can only cure a cold and other ailments, in the treatment of which the internal state of a person is important, for example, to increase the pain threshold. In cases of phenomenal healing of a patient from a serious and dangerous disease, a placebo plays an exclusively auxiliary role, although sometimes doctors cannot determine what exactly saved a person's life.
• Hypnosis. The ability to influence your own or someone else's consciousness is also directly related to the work of thought and is used for medical purposes. There are many hypnotic techniques, but in medicine the most popular and effective is the so-called Ericksonian hypnosis. This direction is named after its founder, Milton Erickson. Living at the beginning of the 20th century, he developed a set of hypnotic techniques, thanks to which he himself got rid of the consequences of poliomyelitis. The essence of this direction is that the patient is in a trance, a special state in which there is a shift in concentration from external objects and phenomena of the surrounding reality to one's inner self. By programming oneself through self-hypnosis or by making an appointment with a general practitioner who has these skills, a person can gradually restore health undermined by a particular disease.
• Thought-power treatment. This direction includes direct mental influence on the body's cells. Due to the fact that this technique, applied with the help of a practicing specialist, has a direct connection with the phenomenon of telepathy, as well as due to the extremely individual effect and the impossibility of either clinical observations or measuring the effectiveness of certain methods, official medicine does not consider thought-power treatment as one of its methods of influence. However, this does not prevent the use of this technique.

How thought-power treatment occurs

There are several stages in this type of technique. First, the patient needs to remember that like attracts like. A positive emotional attitude, self-confidence and the right attitude to a particular situation significantly strengthen the body. It should be noted that we are not talking about the placebo effect mentioned above, which is essentially self-deception. Self-confidence is a volitional process, more complex, but also more effective.

It should be noted that treatment with the power of thought most often acts as an auxiliary tool. On the other hand, this technique has no contraindications. Health is an unpredictably fragile concept, it is better to use a combined approach to its restoration.

By influencing your own body with the power of thought or by seeking help from a specialist, you will greatly help the treatment and speed up recovery. It is worth noting that in our time there are a lot of charlatans who, trying to make money on someone else's problem, promise a complete recovery from a variety of ailments. Treatment by the power of thought is a purely individual phenomenon, and therefore it is impossible to guarantee success.

Treatment by the power of thought also includes attention to one's own body, to its needs, the use of emotional keys and moods.

It is very important to know the needs of one's own body, to be more attentive to the state of one's health. As for the emotional state, being in a certain mood, a person connects to additional energy reserves. Among the most useful emotions are gratitude, love, hope. The power of these higher feelings also cannot be measured, but it cannot be underestimated either.
