Did you know that people who respond well to a placebo are often REMOVED from clinical trials?
The Nocebo Effect is something I had heard of, but wasn’t 100% sure that I understood the definition well – until I read Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, that is.
The theory behind the Nocebo Effect is that we can think ourselves sick, basically – and perhaps even sicker when we are surrounded by others who think of us that way also.
So the formula (according to Lissa) would be Negative Beliefs + Harsh Care = Sickness.
The power of personal belief is a tool that can be applied for everybody’s health and well being. We just need to be taught how to use it.

Written by Kathyrin McCusker, a Yoga teacher and internationally known Opera Singer Kundalini Meditation is a useful guide to both meditation using the Kundalini energy, and Kundalini Yoga.
Kundalini means “the coil in the hair of the beloved” and refers to our coiled serpent-like energy which begins at the base of the spine, moving up through the chakras or energy centers and resulting in a feeling of bliss throughout the body, mind, and soul for the regular practitioner.
Kundalini Yoga is the practice of yogic postures, mantras and meditations that help activate the kundalini energy. This energy can rise up through the chakras with practice.
