In one experiment, scientists showed fake flowers to highly allergic people. Almost invariably, the subjects, not knowing that the flowers were fake, had allergic reactions when seeing the flowers (Sapolsky). And for centuries physicians have noted the placebo effect, in which a patient’s beliefs about a given medicine may create as much healing as the medicine itself. It stands to reason then that all sorts of negative thoughts and beliefs may have a detrimental effect on the body and that positive thoughts may assist in the healing process.

Once I had a student who was a video arcade owner. He had a quick temper and found himself constantly irritated with the kids in his arcade. This anger spilled over into every part of his life. His body became very tense, and eventually blisters appeared all over his skin. Worried about his health, he came to a Dahn Yoga center and began practicing Brain Wave Vibration along with the regular Dahn Yoga class.

After only ten sessions, the blisters disappeared and his mind-set totally changed. He not only got along better with his young patrons, but he suddenly felt motivated to teach kids Brain Education techniques in a special .after-school program. This man learned to reverse his negative brain waves, and the effect on him and those around him was almost miraculous.
