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 improving health inside their body, and the physiology would respond. Their health would improve rapidly over time. Again mind-body work is 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.
