Mind-Body Beginnings
The mind-body connection is a new concept for many people. But is it really new? It’s actually been around for millennia.
In ancient Egypt, Greece and Persia there were sleep temples. Sleep temples were places where people would go to assist themselves in handling illnesses, adjust their attitudes, build stronger relationships between them and their religious figures of authority, to help them move into better athletic performance or work.
The description of a sleep temple in ancient Egypt, was that it was a darkened temple where you would recline on large floor pillows. In one corner of the room they would have a flute or a lute playing.
While that very light music was being played in the background, someone would enter and sit beside you. They would ask, “What do you want to do? What do you want to change?” They would then talk to you about healing your physical illness, performing better at your sport, having a better relationship with your wife or husband, having a better child birth, feeling more at ease—whatever issue needed change or enhancement.
In ancient Greece this same practice was most commonly used with women prior to a birthing experience. They would begin this process as soon as they knew they were pregnant, and would spend time lying in these sleep temples with a midwife telling them how the baby was going to be beautiful and healthy. That the experience was going to be easy and that they would feel in control throughout it. They would tell the expectant mother that the birth would happen quickly. and so on.
The application of the mind-body connection—of using your brain to affect your physiology and your performance, began thousands of years ago in the ancient sleep temples.
Helping Oneself
A Persian physician by the name of Ibn Sina in 1027AD wrote “The Book of Healing”. He talked about using the mind and the body together to create better health, to create a more positive life, to have your entire physiological system work together more harmoniously. He was the first to have used the term “mind-body system” in his scholarly writings.
Paracelsus, 1530 in Switzerland, developed a process to get people to imagine improved health. He would have patients visualize things improving inside their body, and the physiology would respond. so that their health would improve rapidly over time. Again not new news, it’s been around for a long time.
In the 19th century there was a Scottish surgeon by the name of James Braid who wrote about helping ourselves through focusing our mind in specific ways. He described the ability to have a mental focus that allowed your brain and your body to work together to bring about rapid change very effectively. He did this with thousands of his patients over time prior to, and after surgery, to assist them in healing.
An American psychologist by the name of William James wrote about this same process in detail in “The Principles of Psychology.” Dr. Johannes Schultz, a German psychiatrist created a process called autogenic training which used the mind and the body so that ailments could be overcome more easily, and life goals could be achieved faster.
As you can see, the mind-body work began thousands of years ago.
What we will do now, is look at how you can use this to grow your success. Whether the success you desire is in improved health, with your business, in your personal relationships, with athletic performance, or in learning more rapidly. There is a mind-body connection component that can assist you in achieving the goals you desire, faster and easier than you ever have in your past.
