\\u201cYou need to believe in things that aren\\u2019t true. How else can they become?\\u201d\\u2015 Terry Pratchett, from Hogfather

Because most of our body\\u2019s operations are invisible to us, we presume the only effect we have on our body is through our intentional actions. We presume that we do not have control of what we don\\u2019t perceive and that our thoughts and mental images don\\u2019t affect our autonomic processes. This is the foundation of allopathic medicine. It is a reductive view of the body\\u2019s processes which claims our different systems regulate themselves independently\\u2026

Recovering from Covid confirms for me the role of focused intention in healing illness. Consider for yourself how you try to \\u201cfeel better\\u201d when you\\u2019re ill. You try not to imagine yourself getting sicker but getting better.

How much more effective would you be if you had a deeper connection between your imagination and your disabled body?
