As the college fund commercials back in the 80s said, ‘the mind is a terrible thing to waste’. The commercial wasn’t really about what we’re going to be talking about here, but the idea is one which can be applied here as well.

The power of mind is also a power you can harness to create the life you want.

Even if you haven’t seen the film or read the book, it’s all but certain that you know of the book The Secret or about the law of attraction, the most important idea of the book and film.

It basically says that it is our own minds which are actually manifesting what we are experiencing now. What we are thinking about and imagining will actually happen. Even if you don’t believe in it, it is true. If you consciously make an effort to change your life it will happen, if you imagine it happening first!

If you’re having a hard time believing it, here is a great example of mind power at work. Many medical research performed involves the subconscious mind and the Placebo Effect. This is where you have a couple groups that are formed from volunteers that are paid for going through the experiment. They all suffer from the same problem, but separated into 2 groups and given two different pills. One group is given the real medicine and the other is given a placebo. The best part about it is neither group knows that one of them is getting something different. Then the medical team studies the results.

You must have seen people who imagine themselves to be sick and then actually experience it. Similarly people can imagine themselves well and miraculously recover.

Listen, everything happens for a reason and there is no such thing as coincidences. We believe this word was made up by someone who believes in luck instead of determination, or just doesn’t think that everything happens for a reason.

It is not coincidence, if there is one thing that you should know by now everything happens for a reason. The reason is your mind.

Correlation is not causation, though there are a lot of people who try to link the Law of Attraction to some quantum mechanical effect. Going too far down this line will make your head hurt, either from the quantum mechanics or from the way the terminology is being misused. Ultimately, this drives into solipsism if you look at it too deeply, and that’s not what the Law of Attraction is about.

Some of the more fringe scientific studies are trying to link this observer effect to thinks like remote viewing, telepathy, and other ‘supernatural’ powers. An even greater extension is that everything we see, feel and hear – all of our sensory inputs, may well be something ‘stitched together’ into a narrative by our minds.

While this is hard to digest for some of you, everything we see, hear and feel is merely a creation of our thoughts. This means nothing is solid and it’s all energy thanks to the power of our minds.

Although you may not even have considered it before; learning how to use the power of your mind is vitally important to having a great life! Obviously it is better to have your assets working for you instead of working against you.

In fact if we really try it is quite easy to harness the power of the mind for a better life. This is the way to do it.

What we want you to do right now is come up with your next goal. It doesn’t matter what it is really, except we do suggest you start out with something easily attainable. In fact, let’s talk about your work day. Your goal is going to be to stay positive throughout the day, even when things just aren’t going so well. If you spill the coffee, shrug it off and realize it could have been worse. Someone driving too slow in front of you, then there has to be a reason for it.

It will probably be difficult at first, but if you stick with it even on the first time out, things will change.

There are some people who have a great knowledge of their own mind power and hence work in improving it at all times. This is further developed when they are able to completely channelize their thoughts to the goal they desire to achieve.

Suppose that there’s a house that is just perfect for you – but it’s not even for sale and you’re not ready to buy a home at the moment. However, the power of the mind can make it all happen.

Visualize changing your life. Decide what you want. Say for example you want your dream home. Now all of your thoughts, feelings and actions need to be directed towards that end. Even imagine yourself in that house painting and decorating it or landscaping the gardens.

Ensure that everything you do is focussed towards getting that dream home. You may have to work a bit harder at work for example. You could even check out the rest mortgage rates even if you can’t afford it at the moment. You can even buy a few things to put inot your new home.

When you make this goal the target of the power of the mind, you begin to set the events in motion which lead to it coming to pass. The home will go on the market, your offer will be accepted and you’ll easily secure a great mortgage. It’s not luck that made this happen; it’s not just your hard work either – the power of the mind played the starring role.

It’s up to you to make your life. You can either sit passively by and let life happen to you, or you can grab it and direct it using the power of your mind. Work on small goals and build up to larger ones the same way small rocks can lead to a sturdy platform to see the world from. Don’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of the power of your mind with the Law of Attraction.

Do you remember the old drug slogans geared towards teens in the eighties? Well, there was one of them that said, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ While they’re commercial was talking about frying your brain cells, we can translate the slogan into a conversation covering the subconscious mind.

Your mind power is more amazing than you can imagine; the biggest reason for this is because you can change the landscape of your entire life if you can unleash this power of mind.

The subconscious mind has unbelievable power hidden within it. If you’ve had the opportunity to watch, ‘The Secret’ you realized the potential and possibly used it to your advantage. This uses the idea of the ‘power of mind’.

In a nutshell, whatever you positively visualize in your life, you’ll achieve. Even if you don’t consciously direct it, your perceptions of the world will alter how the world happens to you. People with negative attitudes draw negative events to them, and people with positive attitudes draw good fortune to them.

There is a lot proof for this. For example I am sure you have heard of the Placebo Effect in medical trials where some people receive the real drug and others a dummy or placebo.

It really is true that people can ‘think’ themselves better. Conversely they can ‘think’ themselves ill.

There may be another instance of this theory. We may find that sometime when we get up from sleep in the morning and think that this day will be a run of the mill day or a not so good day, it really turns out to be one.

This was no coincidence. Coincidences don’t just happen – they are made to happen by your subconscious mind.

There is an increasingly large body of scientific evidence which suggests that there is a basis for this phenomena in the laws of physics. A surprising idea comes from the world of quantum mechanics which suggests that matter (which at its most basic level is simply energy) exists only when being observed – suggesting that our minds may have more influence over the universe than we have let ourselves believe in the past.

There is a belief among the scientists that all psychic abilities like clairvoyance, remote viewing, etc can be explained by the theories and laws of Quantum physics.

So amazingly everything we experience, everything we see, touch and smell is just a creation of what we think about. Nothing is real or solid only energy which is created by the power of our minds.

Once you reach this point and start believing in the unlimited potential that surrounds your subconscious mind, the training process can begin. It will allow you to enjoy and have a better life then you ever imagined.

Let us look at what needs to be done in order to get your mind to manifest everything you want.

We must initially set a clear goal in our mind and this must be done in a categorical way. However The goal that we decide must not be contain a subject matter which is vague for example huge amount of money. We must have the amount precisely in our mind and then channelize all our thoughts and energy to think about that fixed amount.

The direction in which we channelize our thoughts must be unidirectional and must not go hay ho since we need to focus on our goal at all time. However it may sound easy but in reality it is quite difficult since at any given instance a series of thoughts may appear in our mind and thus will not help us in concentrating on a single thing.

Some people are aware of the power of their mind; they focus on tasks, they set goals, they make lists, and they follow through them. You can see them – they’re the ones who always seem to have a plan and who always focus on what’s around them.

You have to make it happen and it all starts with the thought process. The first time around you’ll probably have a hard time focusing on just one thought with a million racing through your head.

Just think if you walked outside today and said, ‘I’m going to buy my dream home within a few months.’ It sounds good, it probably felt good to say it, but can you visualize yourself doing the work that it takes to get that dream house? This is a common mistake that most people overlook, but if you can picture yourself doing it, then it will be so.

You begin putting all of your energy towards this goal, taking steps like angling for a promotion so you can make the money you need to purchase this new home, start thinking about how you’ll do the work necessary to set things up exactly the way you’d like and even researching how to get the best possible mortgage.

By focusing on this goal and putting your mental energy towards your objective, you can make it happen – don’t be too surprised when your dream home goes on the market and your offer is accepted; and you even get just the right mortgage. It is the power of the mind which has made this come about, not simply good luck.

The moral is that we need to set a goal in our head and thrive to attain it at all costs. Our mind power can help us to a great extent in this regard.

The saying ‘Mind over matter’ means that the mind is more powerful than matter and can actually manipulate it.

The power to concentrate, the ability to use will power in self improvement, the power to hold on during instances of intense pain to even moving matter with the power of thoughts, all fall under the scope of the immense human mind power.

The phenomenon of Psychokinesis shares some common ground with the idiom ‘mind over matter’ and can even be tagged as one of the extreme forms of the above since it refers to moving matter with the power of one’s thoughts.

In order to explain the extent of human mind power influence over matter, parapsychologists in the 19th century carried out research and various experiments. At first the reason behind such phenomena were thought to be due to spirits and was termed Telekinesis but later when the role of human mind was discovered, it was coined Psychokinesis.

The measurement of such mind over matter phenomenon can be of two types, the micro-psychokinesis and the macro-psychokinesis. While the former refers to very small changes or movement in matter only observable through scientific instruments, the latter involves larger movement that is perceptible through the naked eyes.

Responsibility assumption can be said to be another facet of the expression ‘mind over matter’ where the latter is used in a far lesser extreme than discussed above. This is more on the mind centric approach which is found in subjects like philosophy, spirituality and the like.

The concept of new age spirituality that focuses on mind over matter is essentially all about this responsibility assumption which talks about an individual’s responsibility in turning one’s life into what he wants it to be. This proposes that one’s future as etched or his destiny is essentially a function of the person’s own mind and the thoughts therein.

Recent spiritual awakening in the last decade also has laws such as Laws of Attraction, etc talking in the same direction.

The law of attraction is all about identifying something that you want badly in life, concentrating on the same, visualizing yourself after attaining the same letting all emotions and energies felt flow thereof and continuously telling yourself that your object of desire is coming your way. Soon enough what you need will get attracted from the universe by the power of your mind into actual manifestation.

There has been numerous claimants to this power of psychokinesis in the world, some of which are worthy of mention.

Martin Caidin , the author of the 1972 novel ‘Cyborg’ claimed to be able to cause movements in “energy wheels” kept on single or multiple small table tops with the power of his mind.

The Israeli Uri Geller and the Soviet psychic Nina Kulagina are also worthy of mention due to the spoon bending techniques of the former and the short films showing psychokinetic demonstrations of the latter.

Felicia Parise on the other hand was an American laboratory technician who got inspired from the Nina Kugani films and started consciously practicing intense concentration towards psychokinesis which was happening to her spontaneously otherwise. Having mastered the same, she was able to mobe objects like compass needles, plastic pill containers, aluminum foil etc.

She was tagged as the First American to move matter with mind by National Enquirer, a tabloid. She left demonstrating psychokinesis when she reported bodily stress from the same.

Psychokinetic abilities also exist in areas that are beyond the scientific study and researching boundary. In this light mention may be made of the great mountain range of Himalayas that stands as the symbol of positive energy and spirituality of the ancient East. Stretching from India through Nepal into Tibet, it is a vast place where sadhus and monks reside, renouncing everything and giving up their entire lives towards realizing the full potential of their minds.

If you want to witness individuals performing psychokinetic powers openly, then you must visit India to witness the world famous Hindu pilgrimage Kumbh Mela (once a year), Ardha Kumbh Mela (Once in 6 years) and Purna Kumbh Mela (Once in 12 years) where the sadhus come down to take a holy dip in the river Ganges.

It can be concluded that the power of mind is a vital force and if harnessed properly or unleashed altogether, it can influence and control any matter, be it tangible or intangible. Thus once you concentrate, connect your energy with that of the cosmos, make continuous affirmations in your mind’s eye, charge up your future vision with your own emotions, you will realize the power of your mind over matter.

All of us remember the commercials of the 80s; or at the very least, we remember its slogan: ‘the mind is a terrible thing to waste’. While we’re talking about something different than going to university today, the slogan is definitely on point here.

The power of mind is the most powerful thing in the universe!

The world was struck by the concept of the power of the mind after the book named The Secret and the movie named on the same reached the market. The people became aware of the Laws of Attraction and its utility in our lives. The Laws of Attraction showed that the thoughts of an individual is very important since the thoughts only attract the things that we desire for and those which will make our lives better in the long run.

Everything revolves around the Law of Attraction and the fact that when you think about something, you will attract it to you. So keep that in mind as we get deeper into the subject.

Scientifically it has been proved that if we really work our mind, life will reap the fruits of betterment and prosperity. Medical science regards this as Placebo Effect and we should always remember the old saying ‘Mind over matter’. This really points out that our mind can in fact can make things happen which ultimately matters in the long run.

It’s amazing to see how those who only got a placebo are able to cure their ailment. Then of course there are others who believe hear about the side effects, take the placebo and somehow end up with even the rarest of kinds.

More proof, think about when you have gotten up in the morning thinking this was going to be a bad day, or ‘one of those days.’ Is it not remarkable that you will then have one of those days?

All these are not mere happening. As a matter of the fact these incidents take place because we think too much about them in a negative way and this the mind does the trick.

There has actually been a lot of hard scientific evidence to back this up. Quantum mechanics explains that at the subatomic level there is no such thing as matter; it is just energy. Experiments have shown that incredibly this ‘energy’ only exists because it is being observed. That means that it only exists because of the mind of the observer; this the real power of the mind!

While there are a few people who enjoy things such as ESP, telepathy, and psychic power, you don’t have to take it that far. The way you use the subconscious mind can work for the smallest things in your life that needs to be changed. Need to eat healthier foods? Then you can train your mind to bring that positive aspect into your life. Just keep in mind it works for everything.

Even though you may not have really thought about it too much yet, the power of your mind can be the key to changing your life for the better.

If you could use the power of your mind to make the universe work with you rather than against you, wouldn’t you want to learn how?

Lets see how you can use your mind power to get whatever you want out of life.

What we want you to do right now is come up with your next goal. It doesn’t matter what it is really, except we do suggest you start out with something easily attainable. In fact, let’s talk about your work day. Your goal is going to be to stay positive throughout the day, even when things just aren’t going so well. If you spill the coffee, shrug it off and realize it could have been worse. Someone driving too slow in front of you, then there has to be a reason for it.

The most important norm for this act is that we need to constantly think in that same direction and it can never depend on the whims and fancies of the individual. This however is very difficult since at any single instance there are numerous thoughts coming to our mind.

There are certain individuals who have learnt to control and harness their mind power to great extent. They remain completely focused on the goal they want to achieve in life and hence are able to shape their life in a better way.

Since their minds are in control and they are putting all of their resources towards attaining their goals, they make it a reality. It all sounds so easy, but it is not quite as easy as it may seem.

Just think if you walked outside today and said, ‘I’m going to buy my dream home within a few months.’ It sounds good, it probably felt good to say it, but can you visualize yourself doing the work that it takes to get that dream house? This is a common mistake that most people overlook, but if you can picture yourself doing it, then it will be so.

Everything you do has to do with getting that house. It could be improving your performance at work, clocking the commute from that new house to your job, looking at paint at the local Home Depot, reading up on how to get a good mortgage. You might even start buying a few small things for that new house.

As we get more and more obsessed with the idea, one fine morning we may find that we have reached our goal. A house is up for sell and we must now reap the benefits of the all the energies spend in this direction and thus immediately seal the deal.

The moral is that we need to set a goal in our head and thrive to attain it at all costs. Our mind power can help us to a great extent in this regard.

You may not know this, but back around the early to mid-80s, we really saw an increase in powerful messages helping the subconscious mind. Most of them dealt with anti-drug slogans and commercials that were just about everywhere. However, there was one that said, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ Well, they couldn’t have brought more right.

We can expand on the sentiment though; the power of the mind is a terrible thing to waste. It is time for you to harness the power of mind and use it to create what you want in life.

Have you heard about the Law of Attraction? In the last five years it has been a popular topic that has transformed the live of several people around the world.

The main point is that your mind will manifest whatever you think about. What most people don’t realize is that this happens whether you actively make it happen or not. So start to use the power of mind consciously and choose the life you want!

Scientific studies of the subconscious mind show this more than ever. In today’s world we use studies like the Placebo Effect to understand the thoughts that can run through an individuals mind.

A good example will be two individuals having different choice of thoughts. There is one who thinks that he is really sick and on the other side there is man who thinks he is not. Both have different perspectives but in reality thoughts can have a great effect on our body and soul.

There may be another instance of this theory. We may find that sometime when we get up from sleep in the morning and think that this day will be a run of the mill day or a not so good day, it really turns out to be one.

And it really isn’t just coincidence. Everything happens for a reason and the reason is the power of your mind.

If you or someone you know has ever studied the laws of quantum physics, you will know that there really is no such thing as ‘matter’. At subatomic levels everything is pure energy and matter only exists because we are observing it!

Scientists now belief that the theories of Quantum physics can explain the mystery behind the psychic powers like remote viewing, clairvoyance, etc.

On the extreme end, this leads to solipsism, the belief that nothing is real until you observe it, and the question of ‘If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody’s around, does it make any sound?’

You’ve probably already experienced this a time or two without even realizing it. Maybe you were cutting out coupons and that inner voice told you if you don’t stop you’ll end up cutting your hand. Then of course you didn’t listen to this nonsense and all of the sudden you stick your other hand with the scissors. Granted, it may not have happened exactly like this, but you get the idea.

Keep reading for some techniques which can help you to access your own mental potential to achieve your goals in life.

What we want you to do right now is come up with your next goal. It doesn’t matter what it is really, except we do suggest you start out with something easily attainable. In fact, let’s talk about your work day. Your goal is going to be to stay positive throughout the day, even when things just aren’t going so well. If you spill the coffee, shrug it off and realize it could have been worse. Someone driving too slow in front of you, then there has to be a reason for it.

Learning to focus is the key here; most of the time, you may have dozens of different thoughts going on at once. You must however be consistent and keep going.

All those who already understand the power of their mind constantly work towards their goals. There is no room for being stagnate and just wishing things would be better.

They focus on specific objectives and put all of their efforts towards their objective, using the full power of the mind. This is what makes it happen; it’s more difficult than it sounds on paper, but it’s something that all of us can achieve if we put our minds to it.

Imagine completely altering your life by actively taking part in the influence your mind has on your reality. Say that you wanted a new house. You want that new house so much that it almost becomes an obsession. You think about it all the time, you have even planned the landscape and the color of the master bathroom.

Everywhere we go, our thoughts must be converge on the goal set. It may be the mortgage or the paints and our energies should also work in same lines.

Then all of a sudden that dream house is for sale. Not only for sale, but you qualify for the mortgage. Even better the owners accept the offer you made, you close the deal and you are able to move into your new house in 30 days. Everything you had been doing, all of the energy, all of the thoughts were towards getting that house… and you got it.

You are going to have to deal with all the ins and outs of the subconscious mind. It’s important for you to understand that you can change your life by creating everything around you. This takes us back to the theories around quantum physics again and that it truly is mind over matter.

Do you remember the old drug slogans geared towards teens in the eighties? Well, there was one of them that said, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ While they’re commercial was talking about frying your brain cells, we can translate the slogan into a conversation covering the subconscious mind.

In reality wasting the power of the mind should not be patronized in any way. It is actually invaluable and in reality we can use this immense power source to improve our lives in a big way. We can put this to good use and achieve whatever we need or desire in life.

Everyone in the reach of Western Media has, by now, heard of The Secret, or The Law of Attraction, which deals with the concept of the ‘power of mind’.

The goal behind it is to help you understand that we can all manipulate our minds into creating reality by using the power of mind. In fact, some people have even blamed their subconscious mind on negative actions hoping it would lighten their sentences in a court room.

Scientific theories also help in manifesting this viewpoint. Medical science calls this phenomenon as ‘Placebo effect’. ‘Mind over matter’ is an old phrase that can be considered as relevant in this regard. We do understand the fact that if we suitably use our mind, things that really matter will happen in our lives.

Undoubtedly you have seen people ‘think’ themselves sick, and you have seen them ‘think’ themselves well. Our mind power is incredible.

You’ve no doubt seen the effect in your own life as well. For instance, you’ve no doubt woken up thinking that a particular day isn’t going to be a good one. It shouldn’t really be too much of a surprise when these days turn out not to be among your favorites.

This was no coincidence. Coincidences don’t just happen – they are made to happen by your subconscious mind.

There are various complicated and high level scientific theories that explain the power of the mind. Quantum physics is one of them. It explains that at the sub atomic level there is nothing but energy and that matter is nonexistent at that level. It also says that the presence of the energy is felt only because we observe it and thus shows us that the mind being the observer is actually a container of great power which needs to be harnessed for good use.

It is thought by some scientists that many of the phenomena we have always thought of as supernatural (such as remote viewing, telepathy and the like) are actually perfectly natural and explainable phenomena, though science may be a few years away from understanding the precise mechanisms behind them.

As crazy as it seems – everything around you is a creation of your subconscious mind. You think about it and it happens.

Although you may not even have considered it before; learning how to use the power of your mind is vitally important to having a great life! Obviously it is better to have your assets working for you instead of working against you.

Let’s take a closer look at how to use the power of your mind to achieve what you want.

We must initially set a clear goal in our mind and this must be done in a categorical way. However The goal that we decide must not be contain a subject matter which is vague for example huge amount of money. We must have the amount precisely in our mind and then channelize all our thoughts and energy to think about that fixed amount.

It is very important that you are consistent. It has to be done all the time. You must remain focussed and try to ignore all of the distractions which you are bound to get.

There are certain individuals who have learnt to control and harness their mind power to great extent. They remain completely focused on the goal they want to achieve in life and hence are able to shape their life in a better way.

This means that the full power of the mind is focused on the goal. With the mind being the ruling power, and these people making sure that all of their other forces are directed at goal attainment, the goal becomes a reality. It may be difficult to get a grasp on what I am saying. Not because it is difficult, but because it seems so easy.

In order to examine the power of the mind we can literally set a goal in our head. It may be a house in this case and then we should channelize all our thoughts to this goal. We must think about it in all forms ways. We may even go to the extent of thinking about the colors that we may use on the walls and the landscape around.

Ensure that everything you do is focussed towards getting that dream home. You may have to work a bit harder at work for example. You could even check out the rest mortgage rates even if you can’t afford it at the moment. You can even buy a few things to put inot your new home.

Then of course you aren’t really thinking about getting a dream home anytime soon, and all of a sudden it’s up for sale. Amazing right? Well, it’s just one example of the power behind the subconscious mind and how it will work for you.

Every one of us can do this. It’s just a matter of understanding your own inherent abilities and believing in the power of the mind to achieve the things you want out of life. Start with a small goal and you can work from there to accomplish ever greater things.

The phrase mind over matter promotes the theory that the human mind is more powerful than the body and it has the strength to influence any matter that it so desires.

Infact, starting from the power of concentration, using willpower for improvement of self, focusing your mind elsewhere to free it from intense pain to even moving actual objects with thoughts, all are sub elements of this expression.

The phenomenon of Psychokinesis shares some common ground with the idiom ‘mind over matter’ since it involves moving articles physically with the power of one’s mind. Infact this phenomenon can be stated to be an extreme form of the idiom above.

First coined as ‘Telekinesis’, the reason behind such paranormal activity was thought to be due to the workings of spirits and ghosts. When later on parapsychologists studied and experimented to find the presence of human mind as the reason behind the same, the word psychokinesis was coined.

Micro and Macro are the two types of Psychokinetic phenomena based on the intensity measurements where the former refers to small changes in objects which can only be perceived via use of scientific instruments while the latter is all about big movements in objects that people can witness with naked eyesight.

Responsibility assumption can be said to be another facet of the expression ‘mind over matter’ where the latter is used in a far lesser extreme than discussed above. This is more on the mind centric approach which is found in subjects like philosophy, spirituality and the like.

According to the responsibility assumption, the sole responsibility of your future and what you make of your life lies on you. It prophesizes the concept that your future is a product of your thoughts and the onus or responsibility of your destiny or fate is only on you.

Apart from this, the law of attraction and affirmations also journey along the same path laid down by the new age spirituality where mind is at the helm of all affairs.

The power of constant visualization and affirmation and what can be achieved by the same is explained in the law of attraction. This universal law states that if you want something in your life badly, you need to direct all your focus and attention on it and visualize yourself achieving the same. Along with this constantly go on telling yourself that what you want is truly coming your way and truly believe in that. You will see that the power of your thoughts will attract your object of desire from the universe and make it happen in your real life.

There has been many in our world who have claimed to possess psychokinetic abilities.

Martin Caidin , the author of the 1972 novel ‘Cyborg’ claimed to be able to cause movements in “energy wheels” kept on single or multiple small table tops with the power of his mind.

The Israeli Uri Geller was known for his spoon bending abilities while Nina Kulagina, the Soviet psychic was known for her short films which she made demonstrating her psychokinetic abilities.

Felicia Parise again was another person worthy of mention who became quite a celebrity for her powers in psychokinesis. An American laboratory technician by profession, she was able to move matters like compass needles, pill containers and aluminum foil with her mind. In the beginning such abilities came to her spontaneously but inspired with Nina Kulagina’s films, she used intense focus and concentration to develop the powers to work at her will.

She was also stated by a tabloid to be the First American to move matter with her mind. She finally left such demonstrations since it took a toll on her physically.

Mention might also be made of such rare people who exist beyond the modern and scientific researchable areas. Himalayas, the great mountain range in India, Nepal and Tibet is known as a place which radiates positive energy and spirituality. Amidst nooks and corners and remotest of the crevices one can find numerous sadhus and monks who have renounced the world to harness the power of their minds and are experts at it.

In India, the holy pilgrimage takes place in the form of Kumbh Mela (Annual), Ardh Kumbh Mela (Once in 6 years) and Purna Kumbh Mela (once in 12 years) where all such rare sadhus come down to take a dip in the holy Ganges where one can witness miraculous acts such as psychokinesis therein.

Thus it can be concluded that be it physical matter or be it an intangible matter, your mind has the power to influence all. Thus, with the power of positive thinking, concentration, energy, and affirmations one can achieve the highest forms of ‘mind over matter’ phenomenon and thereby live life in his own terms.

The power of the human mind is undisputed; it goes back to the teachings of Aristotle, and is one of the fundamental images of humanity – the person with the plan solving the problem, getting play in myths from Theseus to Batman.

Your mind has lot more power than you might think; and the power of mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste. When you can access the power your mind contains, you can use it to change the world around you for the better.

The world was struck by the concept of the power of the mind after the book named The Secret and the movie named on the same reached the market. The people became aware of the Laws of Attraction and its utility in our lives. The Laws of Attraction showed that the thoughts of an individual is very important since the thoughts only attract the things that we desire for and those which will make our lives better in the long run.

The main point is that your mind will manifest whatever you think about. What most people don’t realize is that this happens whether you actively make it happen or not. So start to use the power of mind consciously and choose the life you want!

Scientific studies of the subconscious mind show this more than ever. In today’s world we use studies like the Placebo Effect to understand the thoughts that can run through an individuals mind.

You must have experienced this yourself where people can think themselves well and conversely think themselves sick. This is mind power at work!

Another example of mind over matter is when you wake up in the morning convinced it is going to be a bad day. Guess what happens? It really is a bad day. Everything seems to go wrong!

Welcome to the Law of Attraction on a personal scale. It’s your own mind and your own expectations sabotaging you.

Unfortunately you may have a problem with the scientific evidence, but there is plenty. Quantum mechanics explains that there isn’t matter on a subatomic level and it’s actually just energy. While this is true, there are experiments always being done that makes us realize that energy only exists because of the observer. It truly is the real power behind the mind.

There is a belief among the scientists that all psychic abilities like clairvoyance, remote viewing, etc can be explained by the theories and laws of Quantum physics.

On the extreme end, this leads to solipsism, the belief that nothing is real until you observe it, and the question of ‘If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody’s around, does it make any sound?’

You may not have really given it any thought until now, but the power of the mind is something which you can put to work to make positive change in your own life. Wouldn’t you want to learn how to work with the universe to get what you want using your own thoughts?

There are ways that can be used so the power of the mind can be unleashed to achieve all that we want in our lives.

First you need to have a clear goal in mind. Make it a very clear goal, very precise. Don’t just make the goal having a lot of money, give that money an amount. Once you have that in mind you need to direct every mental action towards achieving the goal.

What is really important is that you are consistent. You need to keep focusing on your desires however difficult it may be not to get distracted.

Of course many people already know all about their own mind power. Whenever they want anything they focus on what they want and keep working on their goal physically and mentally until they have achieved it.

Just think if you could influence your mind to quit smoking, lose weight, make more money, or buy that dream home. They are all great things to think about right? Sure, but don’t let it stop with self-improvement. Obviously you’re going to have to organize your life a little, but with constant affirmation it will keep you motivated throughout the entire process.

Just think if you walked outside today and said, ‘I’m going to buy my dream home within a few months.’ It sounds good, it probably felt good to say it, but can you visualize yourself doing the work that it takes to get that dream house? This is a common mistake that most people overlook, but if you can picture yourself doing it, then it will be so.

You start expending effort into areas that will help you to achieve your goal (like working more so you can save up the down payment) and research how to get favorable mortgage terms.

After you’ve put your effort towards it, your dream starts coming true – the house goes up for sale, you are able to secure the mortgage, your offer is accepted and everything goes fine. It’s all because you’ve been putting your thoughts and your energy into achieving your goal; this is what makes it happen for you.

What it comes down to is that we believe in ourselves to a certain extent. When the time comes that you feel as though something will be impossible, it’s time to tap into the subconscious mind. If you can do this, it won’t be long before you start experiencing the positive energy that is built around you.

The expression ‘mind over matter’ promotes the belief that the human mind is the most powerful force in the universe.

The power to concentrate, the ability to use will power in self improvement, the power to hold on during instances of intense pain to even moving matter with the power of thoughts, all fall under the scope of the immense human mind power.

The extreme form of the phrase ‘Mind over matter’ can be expressed by the term ‘psychokinesis’ which implies an extreme form of the former where one can move things physically with the power of his thoughts.

First coined as ‘Telekinesis’, the reason behind such paranormal activity was thought to be due to the workings of spirits and ghosts. When later on parapsychologists studied and experimented to find the presence of human mind as the reason behind the same, the word psychokinesis was coined.

Two types of measurement and therefore two categories of the psychokinesis phenomena are Micro and Macro psychokinesis respectively. The first one refers to minute changes in matter that is perceptible only through scientific instruments. The second type on the other hand refers to larger movement that can be seen by anybody with the naked eyes.

Going beyond this extreme aspect of the idiom ‘mind over matter’ and coming down to more mind centric approaches of the same as found in the subjects of philosophy or spirituality, it may be said that it finds extensive usage in concepts like responsibility assumption.

The concept of new age spirituality that focuses on mind over matter is essentially all about this responsibility assumption which talks about an individual’s responsibility in turning one’s life into what he wants it to be. This proposes that one’s future as etched or his destiny is essentially a function of the person’s own mind and the thoughts therein.

The law of attraction and other beliefs such as ‘affirmations’ are other techniques which travels towards the same goal of exercising the concept of mind over matter.

The power of constant visualization and affirmation and what can be achieved by the same is explained in the law of attraction. This universal law states that if you want something in your life badly, you need to direct all your focus and attention on it and visualize yourself achieving the same. Along with this constantly go on telling yourself that what you want is truly coming your way and truly believe in that. You will see that the power of your thoughts will attract your object of desire from the universe and make it happen in your real life.

Countless claimants to the power of psychokinesis exists in our world of which some can be mentioned in this point.

Martin Caidin, the author of the novel Cyborg of 1972 is one such person who could move energy wheels placed on one or more table tops.

Uri Geller another Israeli was famous for his spoon bending techniques. Nina Kulagina again was a Soviet psychic who shot several videos of herself demonstrating such powers.

A psychokinetic celebrity in the world, Felicia Parise was only a laboratory technician in America when such abilities occurred to her spontaneously. Inspired by the Nina Kulagina films, she developed her powers through intense concentration and focus. Afterwards she was able to move objects like compass needles, plastic pill containers, aluminum foils, etc.

At the height of her fame, she also became known as the First American to move Matter with Mind as given in National Enquirer, a tabloid. After reported bodily stress from such performances she quit demonstrating her powers.

Coming to more remote places of the world and talking about the psychokinetic ability existence there that may not be easily researchable by scientific means, mention must be made of Himalayas, the great mountain range in India which is known as the centre of positive energy and spirituality of the ancient East. Rare individuals, sadhus and monks renounce the whole world and live here in the pursuit of the highest form of self realization.

Such people and their psychokinesis and other miraculous feat demonstrations can be witnessed by others during the famous Indian pilgrimage to the holy river Ganges called Kmbh Mela (once a year), Ardh Kumbh Mela (Once in six years) and the great purna Kumbh mela (once in twelve years).

A belief in the phrase ‘mind over matter’ and a sincere effort towards developing the inner faculties that you are born with as a human, gives you the opportunity to create, control and change your life in the way you want and use the power of concentration, faith and true belief in creating your own destiny.
