Test The Power of Your Body-Mind Connection To Create Change

I want to demonstrate to you just how powerful your mind is.

Your mind is always active.

It's always paying attention to every word you speak,

Every thought you think,

Everything you say to other people.

You have to become more aware of what you're saying on a daily basis.

Just close your eyes for a moment.

This isn't a deep meditation.

This is just a simple visualization process to show you not only your body-mind connection,

But how powerful your mind is.

Close your eyes with me for a moment.

Take in a deep breath and just sense the space that you occupy.

That's it.

As you exhale,

Relax.

Become centered to just focus inward on your breathing.

Now imagine some familiar place in your house called your kitchen.

On the kitchen counter is a cutting board.

On that cutting board is a very large,

Juicy,

Ripe lemon with its yellow waxy skin that just shines very slightly.

You see this beautiful,

Plump,

Juicy lemon.

You hold it in your hand.

You feel the weight of it as you squeeze it gently.

You smell the clean smell of a lemon,

That fresh smell of citrus.

And now what you're going to do is just simply imagine you have a knife in your dominant hand.

You're going to break the skin of the lemon on the cutting board.

As you break the skin,

The spritz of lemon juice releases its fragrance and the juice runs down the blade.

Sense and smell the freshness of the lemon as you cut it in half.

And now take half of that lemon and hold it up and smell the fresh smell.

Open your mouth and put the lemon juice onto your tongue.

And I want you to taste the tart,

Bitter lemon on your tongue.

And notice what happens.

Now simply take in a long,

Slow,

Deep breath,

Opening your eyes,

Coming back.

How many of you experience extra saliva in your mouth?

Your subconscious mind responds to the images that you hold,

To the thoughts and the feelings that you hold.

So much so that it triggered your body-mind connection.

The body reacted to the mind.

Your mind recreated an experience.

Your autonomic nervous system did not know the difference between you literally tasting a lemon,

Causing your saliva glands to activate.

You changed the chemistry in your body with a couple of words that engendered a thought and a feeling and a memory.

That's the power of your mind.

And you are always utilizing it.

Every thought you think has impact on your physical body.

The body-mind connection,

Its purpose is to make your life consistent.

That's its purpose.
