Mind Body Spirit Health and Wellness

Featuring members of the the Harvard Placebo Study Group, “Placebo: Cracking the Code” examines the power of belief in alleviating pain, curing disease, and the healing of injuries.

The placebo effect is a pervasive, albeit misunderstood, phenomenon in medicine. In the UK, over 60% of doctors surveyed said they had prescribed placebos in regular clinical practice. In a recent Times Magazine article, 96% of US physicians surveyed stated that they believe that placebo treatments have real therapeutic effects.

Work on the placebo effect received an intellectual boost when the Harvard Placebo Study Group was founded at the beginning of 2001. This group is part of the Mind-Brain-Behavior Initiative at Harvard University, and its main characteristic is the interdisciplinary approach to the placebo phenomenon. The group is made up of 8 members: Anne Harrington (Historian of Science at Harvard), Howard Fields (Neuroscientist at Univ. of California in San Francisco), Dan Moerman (Anthropologist at Univ. of Michigan), Nick Humphrey (Evolutionary Psychologist at London School of Economics), Dan Wegner (Psychologist at Harvard), Jamie Pennebaker (Psychologist at Univ. of Texas in Austin), Ginger Hoffman (Behavioral Geneticist at Harvard) and Fabrizio Benedetti (Neuroscientist at Univ. of Turin). The main objective of the group is two-fold: to devise new experiments that may shed light on the placebo phenomenon and to write papers in which the placebo effect is approached from different perspectives.

From the works of Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this talk Nithyananda explains how unclutching awakens our body intelligence and how the body rejuvenates and replaces itself. Happy thoughts create a healthy body whereas negative thoughts cause dis-ease which leads to disease.

Sara McIntosh talking about building Self Esteem
Self-Worth.org Believe-In-Yourself.org
When people believe in themselves, the higher they reach, the greater their accomplishments.

Mission Statement:

Helping people of the world realize that a strong sense of self-worth is fundamentally important for:

Creating a life that is healthy, happy, satisfying and productive.
Empowering people to reach for their wildest dreams and highest aspirations.
Inspiring people to believe in themselves and their capacity to create experiences that exercise their full potential with integrity.
And achieve their goals and ambitions with self-confidence and self respect.

Manifesto/Self-Worth

We believe that we are facing an epidemic of self-sabotaging behaviors in the world: smoking, overeating, drug use, crime, truancy, low personal standards, complacency, low accountability and alarmingly high recidivism rates.

We believe that the underlying cause of this self-sabotage is low self-esteem and lack of self-worth.

We believe that society’s prosperity and spirit is compromised by an epidemic of low self-worth.

We believe that human beings, no matter what age or gender, have need of a sense of self-value in order to reach their full potential.

We believe that productivity and standing in the global community hinges on raising the self-worth of the population.

We believe that addressing self-worth and self-value will raise the spirit of the people and in turn raise productivity and ambition.

We believe that the strength of a culture depends on the integrity of the individual which is enhanced by strong self-worth and self confidence.

Scientist and innovator Fred Bell spoke about his recent work on how an “evil” emergence and one-world government has manipulated the population via mind control and other methods. We’ve seen
attacks on the banking and education systems, as well as decreases in mental health and moral values, he said. The big pharmaceutical companies push certain vaccines and antidepressants, some of
which contain ingredients that “basically put your brain into a coma and regress you back in consciousness and turn you into an animal,” he asserted.

The big picture is the One World Order eventually wants to eliminate 80% of the population yet there’s an internal breakdown occurring in their ranks, with many of their family members becoming
dysfunctional, Bell continued. He outlined a number of current mind control and surveillance techniques, like the “radar flashlight” which “checks electromagnetic activity of speech control in
the vocal chords,” as a kind of intensive data mining. There’s also “keyhole satellites” that can beam “emotion signature clusters” at people to change their psychological state.

In the the 1980s and 90s, the CIA and its MK Ultra program developed a program to make people think they were having an alien abduction, and inserted implants in them to control them, Bell
reported. But now, nanotechnology has enabled them to create implants the size of a grain of salt, and some of them have been placed in flu vaccines, he claimed.

Appearing during all four hours of the show, author and researcher Lynne McTaggart reported on the ongoing results of various mind-over-matter/intention experiments that she’s helped organize and conduct. In an experiment developed by Dr. Gary Schwartz, an audience was able to increase the biophoton emissions of a leaf, by imagining the leaf glowing. The results, which showed a significant difference between the target leaf and a control leaf, have now been successfully replicated six times, she said.

McTaggart also reported on her first Peace Intention Experiment, which sought to demonstrate that thoughts can be used to change the world. The troubled country of Sri Lanka was chosen as a target to see if violence could be reduced there by having thousands of people send their intention for peace, at the same time for 10 minutes on eight successive days. Among the team evaluating the results were Dr. Robert Jahn, formerly of the PEAR Lab, and Dr. Jessica Utts, a professor of statistics. Curiously, violence in Sri Lanka quadrupled during the week of the experiment, but in the weeks afterward, violence decreased by 75%, and the whole course of the civil war there was changed for the better, she said. Additionally, there was a spike in random number generator readings (REGs) during the 10-minute period people were meditating each day. More on the experiment here.

The reason intention and mind-over-matter processes work relates to the subatomic underpinnings of our being, and all matter– on this level we’re all connected, and can access the farthest reaches of the cosmos, she suggested. McTaggart is planning a Clean Water Experiment, on September 19, 2009 to help clean up polluted water, and people from around the world are welcome to participate. She is also working on setting up an experiment to lower temperature within a terrarium or biosphere-like environment.

In this audio archive of one of Deepak Chopra’s early lectures, he discusses the foundations of mind-body medicine, presenting an extraordinary new approach to healing at the time. Bringing together theresearch of Western medicine, neuroscience and physics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory, he explains that the human body is controlled by a “network of intelligence” grounded in quantum reality. Beyond a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic pattenrs that design our physiology — with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving vision of hope and healing.

Energy is the currency of life. How can we jump onto the upward spiral and participate in the transformative process if we lack energy and vitality to do so? We always need a bit of energy to get into momentum, but often we are paralyzed with anxiety and depression where energy is low. Without vitality, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual tasks are difficult if not often impossible to master. Within the context of conflict resolution, energy is needed in order to transcend the limitations and to reach a higher level of consciousness.
