Shaping Your Thought Patterns: 2. Placebo effect

Understand the power of thoughts to affect you — placebo effect

On a more positive note, the #placebo effect refers to a situation where patients can experience the benefit(s) of medical treatment primarily through their belief. A placebo (a substance with no effect on the body, such as sugar pills) is given to them in lieu of the “real” treatment.

With the belief that they are actually receiving the treatment they need, studies found that their recovery was similar to those who actually received the treatment. This highlights how much influence the human mind can have over the body.

We are all powerful human beings. How we think and feel can change our reality for the better, provided that we focus on positive thoughts, and empower instead of belittling ourselves. Positive consciousness cultivates positive feedback and vice versa. The key lesson is that one receives and/or materializes what one conveys through one’s words, thoughts and emotions.
