Using The Mind To Heal The Body | Vishen Lakhiani

So at the start of Jan this year, I was rock climbing with my son Hayden, and I twisted my arm and my arm, my entire arm in this whole area was hurting. Couldn't use the gym as much as I would have liked to. And I couldn't get a doctor's appointment because right here in Tallin, Estonia, it's hard to get an appointment for anything because Covid has basically like put all medical services at a peak usage. So interestingly enough, I received a message from one of my friends and he wanted to introduce me to a healer, an energy healer. So I decided to work with this healer. There was nothing I could lose. And I told the healer about my arm situation. The healer said, don't worry about it. I'm going to work on you in the middle of the night while you're asleep. And I'm awake right here in Chicago. Now. The very next morning, the healer messaged me and said, vishen worked on you. Let me know how your arm is doing. Now. I'd woken up that day and I'd had this pain in my arm for the longest time, but the pain was no longer there. But I decided to try a second test. You see my pull up rings? So I always have this near my desk. My record was nine pull ups that Sunday. This was just a few days ago. I decided to do pull ups and I hit a new record, 11. And after those pull ups, I was sure my arm was gonna hurt. Cause I hadn't been able to do a pull up in almost six weeks. No pain. My hand had become free of this, of this injury. Now that wasn't the only situation I had with energy healing. I got to show you something else. Okay, check this out. This is an eye chart I have on my wall. Sometime in October, something happened to my eyesight. I don't know if it was stress or something, but I started having difficulty seeing. I printed out this eye chart to test my eyes and I was scoring at 40, 20, 40. I went to a doctor and the doctor told me the same thing. My eyesight is 20, 40. I need glasses. But rather than immediately jump on glasses, I went out on Amazon and I bought three different books on healing your eyesight without glasses. And then I decided to reach out to a healer friend of mine to see if that healer could work with me. And then I decided to apply one of the techniques from mindvalley. Lofty questions every morning, telling myself that my eyesight was getting better and better. Three weeks later, I remember waking up and the world felt clearer. I tested My eyes. And I was at 2025. Now, the story should have stopped there. I was about to record this video and tell you that I'd taken my eyesight from 2040 to 2025 in three weeks. But I just tested my eyesight right now as I was doing this video, and I'm in a perfect 2020. Yes. Check this out. This is how I test my eyesight. So this is the mock. You can see it's quite a distance. Okay. And. And I'm supposed to read the bottom line of that. And I can read that bottom line. The first three letters being D, E, F, P, O, T, E, C. I have not been able to do that. I literally discovered I could do that today, which means my eyesight is getting better. This is why I believe in energy healing. And studies have found that up to 35% of all medical ailments, when you test them against the placebo, the placebo is able to heal almost as well as the actual medical procedure. Now, the reason I'm telling you this is not because I'm telling you to not trust your doctor. Trust your doctor. Everything I'm saying needs to be done with modern medical advice. I always listen to my doctors, but I also now always make sure that I'm training my mind and I'm working on energy healing, either learning to do it myself or finding a trusted healer. So this week on mindvalley, we're gonna go deep into what we call energy medicine, and I'm gonna take you through a masterclass that's gonna unravel this entire dimension for you. But this is so important. It gives you more vitality. It helps you stay younger. It helps you recover from illnesses. And, you know, a lot of people tell me I look younger than what I actually am. And a reason for that is because of my belief in the power of the mind over the body. Now, there's a phenomenal scientist called Dr. William Broad who said that there are five qualities you got to bring into your life to really help you with energy healing. These are the five qualities. So I'm reading it out here from a book called Best Evidence by Michael Schmicher. Michael Schmicher is a journalist, and he was asked to go and research all of these claims of the mind over the body and extrasensory perception. And to debunk them, he found that they were all real. So he wrote a book summarizing all the best evidence. And there's a chapter on energy healing. And here. Here's an interesting piece of the chapter. He talks about Professor William Broad of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, California. And William Broad said there are five qualities you need to really embrace energy healing, right? The first is the need for relaxation and quietude. The second is learning to focus your attention on one thing like your breathing or a specific part of your body that you want to heal. Third, applying visualization or imagery therapy, which really is the basis of this, the Silva method. Fourth, incorporating intentionality into the process, a wish that some goal be reached and expecting that it will. This is called the expectancy effect. And the fifth is evocation of strong positive emotions during the healing process. When you look at mind body teachers like Paul McKenna or Marisa Peer, they really apply. Number five. So if you are interested in this topic, if you want to go deeper with me, join me in this masterclass with Donna Eden. So Donna Eden is one of the most gifted energy healers I know. She basically pioneered the word energy medicine. And in this masterclass we're going to go pretty deep down the rabbit hole, so, so sign up, it's completely free. And if you find this topic interesting, let's go explore this together.
