The Mind Power – What is the Function of Mind Power?

Like any other human being, my life isn’t always sunshine and blue skies. I’ve had my share of problems, both emotional and not-so emotional. Every time I start feeling low though, I let my mind do the talking so that I can get out of the rut. But how does the mind power function? Well, it’s like this:

• The seat of our cognition is the brain. Since this is the case, the mind power controls our thoughts. When we think negatively all the time, the mind makes these negative concepts come true. These thoughts increase in strength and they begin to affect our attitudes, our perceptions and our behavior. When we think positively, the mind does the same. For good things to happen in our lives we have to constantly visualize mental images that are also good.

• The mind also governs our emotions. To avoid feeling down when life takes a hit on us, we must affirm to ourselves that troubles will come to pass. These assertions will help us feel more positive and more able to face life’s challenges.

• The mind can make us sick and can also cure our pain, physical or emotional. Our emotions manifest themselves in physical ways. For example, when we are depressed, the body reacts in manners that would correspond to the depression. Hence we may lack appetite due to the sadness and eventually we might develop ulcer from not eating. Similarly, the mind can convince a sick person that he is getting better. Someone who is feverish may then be cured of the symptoms if truly believes that he isn’t sick.

• Finally, when we have things that we need to accomplish and find ourselves unable to do so, the mind power dictate to us our goal. We can do this through the help of concentration that is, focusing our thoughts, thinking of our goal and visualizing it. Afterwards, we should come up with a specific plan on how to go about achieving the said goal. The plan naturally has to be based on what’s tangible and real otherwise, all our visualization and planning will be in vain. Then we can start working on our plans. It will take effort on our part, but we need to commit to our memory that in the end, our effort will pay.

So are you feeling as if you are in a rut these days? Do you lack sleep due to vehement worries? Perhaps, you still cannot figure out how to attract that particularly hard to pin down goal. Or maybe you are in deep pain. If any of these are true to you, remember that the mind has the incredible power to change things. You can train yourself to not carry so much emotional baggage or have so many negative perceptions in your life. Think mental positive! BE mental positive! You’ll feel a lot better, you’ll see.

Why Do People Need Mind Training?

Niccho is not your average triathlete. Whereas most triathletes experience their confidence and focus during competition or perhaps feel stomach jitters when they are about to compete, Niccho is just oozing with determination and strength! Though Niccho’s training is less rigid compared to other triathletes, Niccho performs excellently during competitions. Niccho’s secret? Mind training.

Mind training is not just for athletes who want to get the gold during their events. Rather, every individual will benefit dramatically from mind training. This is because mind training can improve performance, as well as give the average human the power to overcome, potentially, any problem. Here are things you need to know about mind training:

• Mind training is based on the Buddhist tradition rooted on a set of proverbs developed in Tibet by Chekawa during the 12th century. The twin pillars of the practice are Ultimate Bodhicitta, translated as ‘open-mindedness’ and Relative Bodhicitta, translated as ‘compassion’. Mind training gives you a set of vaccine to bad mental habits, paranoia and predetermined ideas that hinder the potential of humans.

• Mind training is grounded on the idea that the mind controls the body and not vice versa. Mind training remedies self-sabotage—that is, when under pressure, humans inadvertently bring out dilemmas which do not exist in practice.

• Mind training utilizes the power of the mind to work as an ally or a nemesis, depending on how it is programmed to perform.

• Mind training helps you overcome intense nervousness and gives you a deep belief in yourself and your abilities. Mind training aids in concentration as well.

• Mind training helps you to be ‘in the zone’—that is to be in a mental state wherein you feel that your performance seems to flow effortlessly, that you simply cannot do anything wrong. Mind training achieves this through visualization. This is done by consistently imagining your self performing at your peak level. By doing so, a mental blueprint is created by the power of subconscious mind which your body will follow in your endeavor. Mind training is all about running movies of your success in your mind.

• Mind training assist humans in hurdling problems and reach the absolute peak of their potential. It facilitates a calm, clear and concentrated mind. Mind training improves motivation and enjoyment of training and working.

Why do humans need mind training? For the simple reason that what the mind conceives, the body can achieve.
