Hey what happened to the relationship membership video. That one was really good and something I needed to play on repeat. Could you please bring it back.
Sorry that last comment was a mess so I subtracted it, but all I basically wanted to say is "Hey! those pharmaceutical commercials are paying for my favorite TV shows!" So maybe cancel part 2 and lay off the "you have the power to heal yourself" stuff, though I do love that Gojira song 🤘

A mind can be made unhealthy by others, who want your body unhealthy too...........For profit and power.
Wrote my first college paper on this in 1988: Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between the mind, the nervous system, and the immune system. Communication between these systems is complex. Bidirectional neurological pathways exist, however, and psychological phenomena such as stress and depression may impact the immune system. The Military / Government / DARPA has gone on to weaponize it.

Bizarre coincidence. In my undergraduate studies at University I did a 5000 word paper on exactly the same thing at approximately at the same time. Got an A++ for it. Prop said one of the best papers she had ever read. Cheers!
Came here to say that in my experience, it's also an unhealthy body that can create the conditions for an unhealthy mind. I was in chronic pain, and suffering from poor sleep, and had real issues changing my brain and life. No real change came until I dealt with my bodily issues (surgery) and lived a healthier life. I hope this helps at least one person see the big picture
It doesn't really help unless you can be a bit more specific. Saying that Surgery can solve everyone's problems is quite dangerous, in my opinion.
@@mikeoglen6848
This person didn't say surgeries can solve everyone's opinions. Saying that opinions are dangerous, even when you're arguing a strawman opinion, is quite stupid in my opinion.
So, having an opinion that someone's opinion is potentially dangerous in my opinion is in your opinion stupid? I do have an opinion on opinions like that, also.@@us-bw6hg
I appreciate your comment…. Its funny that to me in my my experience my unhealthy mind has always correlated with any unhealthy body issues… when I am in good mind i am in good health

In 2020 we witnessed the nocebo effect as well as the negative effects fear, anxiety and loneliness have on health in full force.
"we" witnessed people who were naive and unprepared surrender what they couldn't even comprehend because a screen told them to. Fear, anxiety and loneliness are just part of being in an occupied territory
That's a pretty shocking Theory, isn't it?
And intentionally so. It was all a test to check whether the public will still follow irrational orders when told to, which most people did.
@@mikeoglen6848 Theory? I don't know where you were, but over here it was reality.
Look up Martin Butler's Journey through Dangerous Ideas
I've experienced a diminished immune system due to excessive stress. Many ppl don't realize just how much we can influence the body with our minds/ mindsets.
There has been the Mind over Matter Theory for quite a long time now...
Thanks for the reminder. Took me 40 years to realise this. I suffer from chronic stress since i was 14 because of trauma. I have never been healthy since.
Diabetes, cancer, chronic nerve pain, 16 x collapsed lung, my ribs break every time i cough to hard, lost all my teeth, nerve damage in the eye, several cysts removed, constant inflammation, dislocated shoulder and hip and my body has no resistance to anything anymore. Literally sick and tired every day.
Ever since i met people outside of my toxic family i discovered i never had a positive thought in my life. It's really hard to change that around when every cell in your body hurts.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience. You can still change how you think. The fact you watched this video is a start, wishing you health and peace.
Someone did a study on different cultures that place curses and hexes on others. They had one thing in common... the victim had to see it done, or be told that a curse was placed on them.
Modern day propaganda. The inducement of fear.
exactly, negative thoughts can precede/lead to sickness. we must become mentally strong to be able to resist such thoughts.
No , you just have to realize they are only thoughts
@kenputer56 ... and thoughts do not influence/precede our actions?
Whilst the mind plays a role in chronic illness, it plays an equal part in healing.

Sounds like something Jung would say
Dr John Sarno was a big name in the field of understanding the mind-body connection. It's definitely a very real phenomenon. I've found solace in thinking of my anxious thoughts (likely brought on by trauma early in life) to be a fellow passenger in my mind, a voice, but not the one true perspective and not defining of who I am. This has let me listen to it, check in with it, but not give in the final say on how I should think or feel. It is a constant struggle but miraculously my health has improved as I've implemented this strategy.
Great way of describing negative thoughts which could be very destructive if left unchecked or maybe even sometimes validated. Sounds like you’re well on your way to healing.
Glad to see someone else mention this guy. His book about healing back pain quite literally changed my life.
Wrote my first college paper on this in 1988: I believe that the first studies done were out of the Univ. of Chicago.

The Body is a slave of the Mind. Similar to a driver in a car that control the body of the car from the inside.
"Most of what we are is non physical, though, our lowest form is physical. All life on our planet has the lowest form, the Body. Our Body is an Animal and the other type of Body on our planet is a Plant. Bodies are bound absolutely to Natural Law, which is the lowest form of true Law. Natural Law is a localised form of Law and is derived from the Laws of Nature. Natural Law is the finite and specific foundational control structure ordering the actions and interactions of species, members of species, and the material sources of a planet.
The lowest non physical form of what we are is the Mind, which is a Process. There are other forms of life on our planet that have both a Body and a Mind, however, so far as we currently know, there are no Plants and only some Animals that have a Body and a Mind. The lowest forms of Mind, Instinct and Emotion, are predominantly bound to Natural Law. The next higher form of Mind is Intellect which is bound predominantly to the Laws of Nature. Intuition, the highest form of Mind, can be bound or not to both Natural Law and the Laws of Nature separately or together, or to higher forms of Law altogether. Intuition is the truest guide for our Selves.
The next non physical form of what we are is the Self, which is an Awareness. There are relatively few other forms of life on our planet that have a Self. The Self is not bound to any form of Law other than One's Own Law. It is the only form of Law that cannot be violated.
The foundation of what we are is the highest non physical form of what we are. The highest form of what we are is the Being, which is an Existence. The Being is not bound to any form of Law originating within Existence. The Being is bound absolutely to The Law.
Existence, and the Laws of Nature which are the finite and specific foundational control structure ordering the actions and interactions of all elements within Existence, cannot Be without The Law being The Law.
So, what is The Law?
In a word, The Law is options.
Definition
option: a thing that is or may be chosen.
The word 'option' does convey the idea of The Law in its most basic sense but does not clarify all of what The Law is.
Free Will does describe how our species experiences The Law but does not convey all of what The Law is.
In clarifying what The Law is;
The capitalised form of the word 'The' indicates the following noun is a specific thing.
Law is the finite and specific foundational control structure ordering the actions and interactions of all elements subordinate.
Together, the words 'The' and 'Law' (in that exact order,) is a proper noun indicating;
the singular form of Law that all other forms of Law and all other Laws are founded upon,
the singular foundation upon which Existence is founded,
the singular foundation upon which Non Existence is founded,
the singular foundation connecting Existence to Non Existence,
the concept of options, and
Free Will.
However one thinks, believes, guesses, hopes, or "knows", whether by a Big Bang, a creation story, a computer program, an expansion of consciousness, or whatever means by which Existence could have come to Be, the option for Existence to not Be also exists. Existence and Non Existence, the original options connected by the very concept of options, connected by The Law. Outside of space and before time. Extra-Existential.
As we experience The Law in our Being,
The Law is Free Will.
The First Protector of The Law is Freely Given Consent.
The First Violation of The Law is Theft of Consent."

Yes, very interesting. I've done my own operation of taming the troublesome mind, and the healing effect flows through my body, like a life force. AOI is always brilliant, peace and goodwill.
This reminds me of the idea that sin has a very real physical impact on us.

Your video is spot on. I am a doctor and a psychoneuroimmunologist. The study of Psychoneuroimmunology deals directly with the mind-body connection. I use it with my patients with chronic conditions. Excellent video. Thank you.
Lmao cure crohns then LARP "doctor" boomer
Thank you for this much needed video. The mind body connection has been noted throughout history, but the reason why this perennial truth is seldom emphasized in mainstream medicine, and often mocked by allopathic doctors, is that it is too empowering. A patient who can master his or her physical outcome by changing their frame of mind is not a perpetual victim in need of a savior in the form of drugs and surgery - the bread and butter of the medical industry. Of course, there is a need from drugs and surgery, and both have done a world of good. However, the medical industry's tendency to resort to these two modalities, almost reflexively, without considering other options, is not based on what is best for the patient. It based on what is best for their bottom line.
You make a fascinating point about the potential discomfort some in the medical field might feel towards empowering patients through mind-body awareness. It's true that a more engaged and proactive patient could disrupt traditional treatment models. However, surely the ultimate goal is the patient's well-being, regardless of the approach? Perhaps open communication and collaboration between patient and practitioner could bridge this gap, utilizing both traditional medicine and mind-body practices for a more holistic approach to health.
@@Existenza.x no amount of communication will help with modern medical professionals because they are trained a certain way to follow procedures and checklists; they do not bend those rules because they're legally liable and can be fined and/or fired even if what they are doing will cause harm. Its not true medicine just the bare minimum skeleton crew to give it the appearance it is so. They're not real doctors they just do robotic tasks and only basics. It was set up this way to make it easier to transition into automation

I could agree with this video but you also have to question children getting cancer as well as positive adults who live clean lives and still end up with illnesses.
@@jjones9822 I lost my younger brother to cancer when I was still young myself so if anyone understands you sentiment, it’s me but we can’t fully explain pain and suffering. As for a “healthy” person, we never truly know what’s going on in the psyche… there’s definitely something to emotional IQ and health. I don’t think anyone can deny that, even with the exceptions
@@jjones9822 This video is about the specific circumstance in which someone worsens their conditions because of their own thoughts. That doesn't mean that every disease comes fron the mind, of course cancer is real and could strike any human independently of their thoughts.

I take issue with the last statement. It is conventional and time-tested wisdom that the greatest therapies for these ailments are generous doses of exercise, sleep, sun, and healthy foods. Inevitably, one who lacks in these things must realize new ways of thinking to adopt these lifestyle changes, but in order to do so one must adopt these lifestyle changes to realize such new ways of thinking. The problem is chicken-and-egg, and the solution is found in the grappling of the mind and the body, out of which precipitates a unification of the two. Obviously not an immediately actionable solution, but really the only one that is feasible (as far as I know at least).
yes, its chicken-and-egg situation. you can't work on body without mind and vice versa
Point is the poor health is making them irrational. Yeah definitely agreed.
I agree that the mind-body connection is complex and often operates in a cyclical fashion. While conventional wisdom emphasizes healthy habits like exercise and sleep, it's true that adopting those habits can be challenging without addressing underlying mental and emotional blocks.
Perhaps the key lies in finding the right entry point for each individual. For some, focusing on practical lifestyle changes might be easier, creating a foundation for improved mental well-being. Others might find that addressing their thought patterns and emotional processing is the crucial first step, paving the way for healthier habits to take root.
@@Existenza.x Yeah I like this, I think the important thing is to work on both action and mindset.
Some people only focus on one and miss the other.
@@raheem2845 Absolutely! It's like a two-pronged approach to success.
Just focusing on mindset without taking action can leave you stuck in wishful thinking, while action without the right mental framework can feel scattered and ineffective.
Finding that balance between the two is key.

Once I stopped going against my own intuition- and started to really listen to my body- all ailments, most thankfully the mental hangups- lessened or completely vanished. It is essentially up to the individual. Only *you* know your own body.

"The physical body is a byproduct of the subconscious mind" Dr Gabor Mat`````e
Been studying this psychologist for a couple years. He wrote some wonderful books. When the body says no, exploring the disease and stress connection. And the other one is, the myth of normal. Trying to heal in an environment that is set up to make us sick. Definitely recommend both.
Our thoughts create our reality
Our thoughts interpret incoming information and creates our illusions. Reality just is .....
As a medical student, i can confirm this. I often feel, they treating machines not humans. Human is an organism which carries the enegy having both psychological, physiological as well as spiritual component. We need to dive deep and respect every aspect or else we will miss. Sadly, patients as well as doctors unware of effective prevention and cure. That they always miss the primodial prevention. We are trained to treat body pathology.. Doctors with wisdom are rare.. And gem to find.
Much of the incredible feats the mind is capable of is done unconsciously or subconsciously not at the will of the conscious mind.
I think i needed this
i am only about 4 minutes into the video but i was immediately reminded of Dr. Bruce Lipton. He has a channel here on CZcams.
This is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the mind-body connection. It's clear that our mental and emotional states have a profound impact on our physical health, and vice versa. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on the importance of understanding how our character traits and emotional processing habits can influence our susceptibility to chronic illness.
The nocebo effect example is a striking illustration of how our beliefs and expectations can have tangible consequences, even in the absence of any physical intervention. So the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare that considers not just the physical symptoms but also the underlying emotional and mental factors, is paramount. If, as the evidence suggests, our thoughts and emotions play such a significant role in our health, shouldn't healthcare professionals be equipped to address these factors as well?
Therefore, if, external factors like trauma and social pressures can play a role, understanding the mind-body connection should empower us to make positive choices that contribute to our overall health and longevity.
