A placebo is Latin for
I will please. It’s defined by Wikipedia as “a substance or procedure which a patient accepts as a medicine or therapy but which has no specific therapeutic activity for the condition. Any effect is thought to be based on the power of suggestion”.
The placebo effect is when, after a treatment, a patient's symptoms become better or worse due to their expectation or belief that the treatment would work. The placebo effect occurs when a patient is treated in conjunction with the suggestion from an authority figure or from acquired information that the treatment will aid in healing and the patient’s condition improves. This effect has been known since the early 20th century”.
The word nocebo is Latin for
I will harm. The nocebo effect is defined by Wikipedia as, “(occurring when) a patient who disbelieves in a treatment may experience a worsening of symptoms. This effect … can be measured in the same way as the placebo effect, e.g., when members of a control group receiving an inert substance report a worsening of symptoms”.
So why discuss medicine in an article about
manifesting your desires? I would encourage all readers to be mindful of what medicine has known since the early 20th century!
Medical science has demonstrated that what we believe has a massive impact on what happens in our bodies. If we believe that good things will come to us, they will show up. If we believe the opposite, then undesirable things manifest in our lives.
Just as we protect against putting toxic substances into our bodies, we should also protect against any toxins entering our minds. This would be any of the many things that are able to negatively impact our belief system.
I experienced a downright attack on my own belief system earlier this week. I walked into the bank to make a deposit and stepped into line. One of the major news channels (possibly the worst attack on our belief systems), playing on a monitor over the teller, was detailing the decline of our housing market.
One of the ways that I generate revenue is by flipping houses; so I took the bait. I listened to every painful detail about how many people are being affected, how bad the market has been, and that the outlook for housing is very dismal.
After making the deposit I realized that I was experiencing doubt about a house I was to purchase later that day. I called a friend to discuss my fears. He asked, “how many houses have you sold in this down market?” I replied, “I’ve sold six in the last year.” He responded, “were they profitable?” Almost embarrassed, I said, “of course they were.”
My belief system had just been set back on the right track. If we are not diligent about taking in information that serves us, we will absorb information that harms us. Is the information you are feeding your brain a placebo or a nocebo?
