You must have heard your parents using the phrase 'mind over matter' during some childhood toothache or stomachache that you had. In that case your mother was perhaps trying to lessen your pain by asking you to focus away from it.
From focusing your mind on other things to lessening an intense pain to even moving physical objects with the power of your thoughts; all are possible when you put your mind to it.
The extreme situation where mind has complete control over an external physical matter and can influence it and physically move it, is known as psychokinesis. Considered as a rare psychic ability, this involves moving tables, chairs or other objects just by the sheer power of your thoughts.
In order to explain the extent of human mind power influence over matter, parapsychologists in the 19th century carried out research and various experiments. At first the reason behind such phenomena were thought to be due to spirits and was termed Telekinesis but later when the role of human mind was discovered, it was coined Psychokinesis.
Such phenomenon can be measured and categorized into two groups - Micro psychokinesis and Macro psychokinesis. While the former involves small movement in matter that can only be seen with the help of scientific instruments, the latter refers to bigger movements that can be seen by ordinary eyesight.
In the field of spirituality or philosophy, the less extreme version of the expression 'mind over matter' is seen to be reflected. Here, it is the mind centric aspect of the same which gets more focus with the responsibility assumption concept.
If one takes responsibility for one's own life and his own future it is referred to as responsibility assumption. Essentially it proposes that your destiny is merely a function of your own mind and its thoughts.
Other concepts like law of attraction or metal affirmations also talk about the same thing.
According to the law of attraction, the power of visualization and affirmations can attract whatever you desire in your life into manifestation in reality. What you need to do is focus all your attention and concentration on this object of desire of yours, visualizing yourself attaining the same and affirming your subconscious mind.
Countless claimants to the power of psychokinesis exists in our world of which some can be mentioned in this point.
Martin Caidin was the author of the 1972 novel Cyborg. He was able to move energy wheels kept on the tops of one table or more.
An Israeli man named Uri Geller was also noted for his spoon bending techniques while an alleged Soviet psychic Nina Kulagina made many black and white short films where she was seen to demonstrate psychokinetic actions.
Felicia Parise on the other hand was an American laboratory technician who got inspired from the Nina Kugani films and started consciously practicing intense concentration towards psychokinesis which was happening to her spontaneously otherwise. Having mastered the same, she was able to mobe objects like compass needles, plastic pill containers, aluminum foil etc.
She was also stated as the First American who could move matter with her mind by an American tabloid. She left demonstrating telekinetic abilities due to too much stress on her body.
Coming down to the most spiritually advanced place in the world, the great mountain range of the Himalayas in India, Nepal and Tibet, one can say that this vast place radiates with positive energy and hence is called the seat of spirituality in the ancient East. Sadhus and monks who renounce everything that is worldly reside here in the nooks and corners spending their lives in harnessing the powers of the mind and being experts at it.
Sadhus who are experts at controlling mind power and demonstrating abilities such as psychokinesis can be found and such abilities witnessed during the famous Indian pilgrimage Kumbh Mela (once a year), Ardh Kumbh Mela (once in six years) and Purna Kumbh Mela (once in 12 years) where such miraclescan be openly seen while the sadhus come to immerse in the river Ganges.
To conclude, one can safely say that the power of the human mind can make any impossible possible. Right from moving matter physically to attracting your desire from the universe, you can create, control and change whatever you want in your life an in this world. Infact, one can create his own destiny by using the power of thoughts, concentration faith and true belief.
