This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "meditation techniques for positive thinking" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piyameron Singular Preeminence - (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for ending your limiting beliefs without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

These videos are brilliant. They distill the information into very small segments, and use illustrations brilliantly to help us understand. And the budget seems to be pretty low as well. It's pretty amazing how even their early videos were of good quality. Makes me want to try out something like this as well.

We can't really jump to that conclusion. The emphasis is that mental practice is an effective way to prepare for learning physical skills, but certainly not sufficient by itself. It's more about strengthening the neuron connections/growth, as opposed to the muscle strength/growth. But neural-connections are really only part of the equation when it comes physical action. So by imagining, you are only engaging one aspect, which likely has it's limits.

I still have the exact same muscular strength and capacity. And also due to my firm belief that i cant get ill , i havent caught any illness not even common cold since june 2016 and this may be due to the placebo effect that my thoughts keeps my immunity strong. So thoughts really are the most important key in the functionality of this human body.

I have found it very useful in the last 8 months of my life and the benefits are starting to reveal themselves. It is hard work to get better at something but I managed to do it by visualizing and reading a lot from people who have done this and succeeded. These books jump.blinkist.com/SHgn helped me a lot to progress. I found a lot of best-selling books here that are transformed into power packs you can read or listen to in 15 minutes.

Am i the only one who knew thoughts could be so powerful? It's not just physical stuff that thoughts can affect. If i was really excited or nervous and couldn't stop thinking about the time i would wake up then i would wake up at that very time with a deviation of around 10 minutes. Anyone else had that experience?

I heard something cool regarding this about how the brain compartmentalizes thoughts and associates them with closed areas, like rooms. It's easier to remember something you were taught or thought while in the same room as it is if you're in another room/setting, which may also help explain why you may forget what you were doing until you go back to the room where that thought originated from. This is all from memory, but I hope this helps. :)

Bedo Pear To understand consciousness, lets question what's not conscious, unconscious or sub-conscious. Sub-conscious 'awareness' is when the roughly inner parts of your brain, involved in quick decision-making are aware of an event. But, the outer parts, involved in complex decision making, are not yet aware of the event. The inner parts of the brains are the instincts. They don't really reason out things. The reactions from this part of the brain are also such - Predator - run, Sexual mate - Prepare for mating, Tasty food - start salivating and grab the food, etc. The outer parts of the brain can perform complex decision-making and strategic planning. It can hold memories, refer-back to the old memories. These parts of the brain are constantly analyzing what's going on around and making strategies to deal with them. It's the 'conscious' part of our brain and it's when this part of our brain knows about a event that we consciously become aware of it. If these part of your brain stop working, you will lose all consciousness. There are parts of our brain, that can feed-back into the auditory and visual receptors, so the actual part of the brain dealing with auditory and visual signal actually sees what simulation is being played and makes sense out of it. It would help humans to 'think before they speak', in complex social setups. And simulate a strategy on how to hunt an animal or impress a mate. Emotions are our brains way of telling the body and other parts of the brain, 'you did a terrible thing, never repeat it again' or 'you did a great thing, you must do this more often'. Emotions also help humans survive in a social setup and chemically signals the body to protect you off-springs, sexual mate and other people/things important for your genes to propagate and survive. If we were though-less robots, it wouldn't have been possible for us to survive in this world. To protect ourselves from predators and find more food and propagate our genes, we needed to think and solve complex problems and take complex decisions.

I'm guessing you imagine doing it in first person with intense focus, basically the first thing you described, so that when the time comes to actually play, it's easier to play because your perceived reality is already in first person. In order to do this, you have to know at least the basic knowledge of how to play the piano, which is I'm sure they did before they conducted the experiment. If you imagine yourself playing in third person, it makes you better at playing in third person, which makes no sense in your perceived reality.

Your thought pattern is an illustration of a already auto-set victim mentality.

Just as you can imagine yourself with an amazing body you must now break it down into segments that can be practiced in the meant so state of imagination and in reality in order to get to the bigger goal of having a better body. From the top replace the negative thought process middle replace them with good ones motivational ones then take action through the imagination of small steps needed to achieve the higher goal

What a depressed “king of the world” how does that work? When we think of what reality is and what a depressed “king of the world” would be, we see a sad lonely below Average (to society’s standards of course) Vessel of a being

You imagine your self doing it but you are actually just recreating a past event of you writing it . Its up to you of how the surroundings are but trust me your just recreating a past event . Which is why it takes the same amount of time .

getting stronger by imagination is obviously nonsense because strength is related to muscles but you can practice a NEW HABIT by imagination first e.g. behaving different in anxiety provoking situations and it works pretty well.

Video game player for most of my life. For one family gathering, they were shooting those discs you toss in the air and I was going to shoot a gun for the first time. It was a shotgun and when they tossed the disc in the air across a lake I hit it first shot. Then I hit my second shot. I was a natural. But then I tripped myself up and started missing because I was trying too much instead of going by instinct. I'd say I learned from FPS.

Several years ago, I printed guitar tabs for a solo that I really liked and wanted to learn but it was late at night, so I laid in bed and went over the tabs, picturing myself playing the solo by reading the tabs, then the next day I was able to play it almost as if I had learned it with the guitar. I still needed a bit of practice but I had it down almost completely. Pretty cool.

"Imagining an action and doing it require the same motor and sensory programs in the brain" is a half-truth at best. fMRI studies may show that the same general areas "light up" with regard to imagined and real actions, but this does NOT mean that the same neural processes are engaged; it only means that the computations occur in the same regions. The pathways themselves could actually be quite different; this is still a very open neuroscience question.

There is something called the law of attraction. For some strange reason thinking about an event will make it more likely to happen, there are variables that you can't control and other outward things, but the more you think about something the more it becomes real. Like someone who is worried that their house will get broken in to, it happens more often to them than not. So you better not worry about you girl friend breaking up with you.

..Hence the concept of muscle memory for performing skills. However the muscles can't be strengthened by just thinking. There has to be adaption in muscles. The strength seen by the study is a perception/motor control issue and not strength increase. This is because muscles actually have a redundancy which you can tap into.

XXX Thought is Precious XXX Thinking in it’s most part is Behavioral Activity. Behavioral Activity can be programmed. Using language as a mind software we permanently are repeating our desired goals through spoken words, just like a mantra. This way we are establishing a specific pattern of information and literally downloading as well as programming the subconscious mind, which in response will trigger the programmed action. Our subconscious mind works like a computer. It turns commands..
