Another example of mind over matter involves Joe Dispenza, a doctor of chiropractic medicine. Over 20 years ago, Dispenza was riding a bicycle when he was hit by a SUV traveling at 55 MPH. His spine was crushed, and he was told he would never walk again. He opted to not have the “required” surgery and, using the power of his mind, was walking in three months. He has been pain-free and fully physically functional since then. This experience launched him into studying the human mind and he has authored several scientific articles on the close relationship between brain chemistry, neurophysiology, and biology, as well as their role in physical health. A medical miracle? Perhaps. Or maybe he tapped into the innate power of the mind to create through intention and vision.

According to Dr. Dispenza in his groundbreaking work, Evolve Your Mind, the “brain processes about 400 billion bits of information every second. Usually, however, we are conscious of only about 2,000 of those bits of data.”  That’s a staggering statistic! And, what’s happening with those remaining bits of information? "The infinite information that the brain is processing every single second tells us that there's more to the world than we're perceiving,” says Dispenza.

A recent edition of Scientific American reported on the findings of an intriguing study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. It’s no surprise that spending time in nature can increase your feelings of vitality and energy, right? But how about just looking at pictures of nature? Scientists who conducted a series of experiments discovered that study participants who simply viewed pictures of plants or imagined being outside in nature showed the same brain wave frequencies as those who actually had been outdoors. Participants felt the same emotions of vitality and upliftment just from imagining nature—with no discernible difference than those who had physically walked  tree-lined riverbank.  

CNN featured findings of how the mind can move physical objects in a recent video segment. A California company, NeuroSky, developed a game that utilizes brain wave technology, in partnership with visionary leaders from top-name universities and businesses. A sensor receives the brain’s electrical signals to control various objects with the user’s thoughts. Archery athletes are using this equipment in trials, and everyone on the team agreed skills were enhanced. There are even talks in the works about creating reality TV shows using this technology.
