Believe You Are Superhuman

On the episode of “Mindful Me” with Dr. Marga Zarraga MD, we discussed the power of thought and the power of self healing. There has been so much research highlighting the power of thought, meditation, and the impact this has on the cellular level in various conditions.

When I was 18 years old, I began studying Dr. Herbert Bensons Relaxation Response, a studied method for impacting well being and healing response times with the power of the mind.

I went on a deep search to discover methods of self healing including self-hypnosis, visualization, meditation, breathwork, yoga, and ways of healthy living including diet, lifestyle and selfcare priorities.

I learned the power of the mind, the power of thought, the power of prayer, the power of belief and the power of the body.

I hypno-birthed both of my children which is to say, in a state of self hypnosis, I went through the stages of natural labor, while controlling my breathing and mindset and focus to manage the process without focusing on the pain. This is one of the most straightforward ways to explain the innate power we have to shift the power of the mind to overcome, to persevere and to be super human. For both of my experiences in these states, the labor and delivery nurses and doctors were in disbelief at how advanced my labors were because I was so…..calm, so….focused, so….quiet, so….relaxed, so having this baby any minute.

How can you shift the outcomes of your experiences by the power of your focus, of your mind, of your breathing? You can do anything you set your mind to.
