Mind Over Matter – The Ego-Body Illusion

It is with continuing interest that the world has been hearing about Mind – Body – Spirit (MBS) matters for the last 30 years or so, at least since the awareness of the Spiritual Revolution sparked in our minds. MBS is such a contradiction in terms of trying to reconcile that which cannot be reconciled. Reality isn’t found through opposing viewpoints, nor is it discovered through that which isn’t real, such as a temporary device. This idea, of course, is based on the assumption that reality is changeless and eternal. The opposing viewpoint, which seems to be the most popular theory to date, is that reality changes all the time, which means there is no eternal truth. This looks like a major impasse…
Mindful Breathing a Great Tool for Realizing Your Mind and Body Connection

While seldom consciously recognized, most people truly do lack self-connectedness. This can be exemplified through a mere observation of how most people breath every day. Breaths are usually taken in short bouts which ultimately bring about some degree of stress, rather than deeper breaths that are subsequently more relaxing.
These short breaths are almost always taken with a breath through the chest instead of the proper body area – your stomach. Improper breathing is almost always done unknowingly, but it may be time for you to realize the benefits of proper breathing and start consciously changing the way you breath until you unconsciously start breathing like an expert.

The so-called placebo effect has been a subject of great interest for many scientists for years now.
However, it is now being found that the effect goes far beyond just a momentary feeling someone has when they take a sugar pill thinking it is actually a real drug.
In fact, recent studies have discovered that particular mindsets and beliefs about one’s body and/or health may in fact affect their physical being.

We often speak here at Openhand about the mis-information we feel is happening in spiritual circles concerning ‘manifestation’. On the one hand the beauty is that we’ve realised consciousness and matter are the same thing; that we shape and change matter from what we’re being within. In some teachings though (most notably “The Secret”), we feel this ancient truth has been taken a step too far; trying to shape circumstances to manifest a new, apparently more desirable reality. There’s simply no need to do this. Our higher selves, inline with the Divine Design, have already imagined a future far more miraculous, far more harmonious and far more loving than our lower egos could ever dream of. And all we have to do is open to Higher Mind and bring that authentic dream into reality. So how does authentic creating from Higher Mind really work? Here is a point of view from my own direct experience.

We’ve all been running around in circles, trying to find the golden key that unlocks the door and releases our permanent happiness, reminds us of who and what we are, and reveals what our purpose in life is. In a nutshell, our real purpose is to bring peace to the world by bringing peace to our own mind. In order to accomplish this miracle, each of us will need to focus on one goal: The Mastery of Forgiveness. Over the course of time, there will be some arm wrestling over the true meaning of what it means to forgive, but any way we slice it, every time we forgive, we have just increased our happiness.
