The mind as a source of medicine is waiting to be explored.

Are we really doing anything when we’re focusing on our mind on our bodies, our emotions, our states of being and using intent to create a different outcome?

How is it possible to generate a physical response from mental energy? Energy healing is not new and is not even isolated in it’s approach to creating space and alleviating dis-ease in the body; prayer, meditation, spirituality all of these methods are means of working with energy and intent to alter an outcome in the physical realm.

In the article, “Meditation, Prayer and Spirituality: The Evidence,” published in The Permanente Journal, Marilyn Schlitz, PhD, the Vice President of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of the California Pacific Medical Center discusses various studies of mental energy to alter disease in patients and how as a society we may be overlooking our most valuable healing resource.
