How to change your physical body

I know from personal experience that it is, and have no interest in debating this further with people who disagree--I'm only interested in a constructive discussion about *how to do it more effectively*. If you don't agree that this is possible please just ignore this thread.

As I explained in my original post which unfortunately ended up taking the thread off-topic, I have used shamanic techniques to great effect to change my physical body. I have used these techniques to heal cuts, kill infections, heal bruises (and possibly broken bones, it's hard to be sure of the severity when you use these techniques to heal them), regrow lost hair, and bodybuild. I'm certainly extremely interested in knowing what other people have been able to do with these techniques as well.

The philosophy behind shamanism is that the waking world is a dream, just the same as a dream you have while you're sleeping. Being able to change and manipulate the world around you is, at its core, simply a matter of realizing that you have the ability to change it. The key here, as in most traditions that teach some form of intention/manifestation, is the concept of "as within, so without". Meaning that the world is as you think it is.

For me, this means establishing some form of continuity between what I'm perceiving as the present, what I remember as the past, and what I want to be the future. Obviously the past and future don't technically exist right now except as a memory or an idea, so if you can change those memories and ideas to be consistent with the way you want reality to be, you end up changing the present moment.

Let me give an example I've used, not healing this time. When I was younger I used to be into bodybuilding, and I've worked out pretty regularly ever since. Not hard-core or anything, but enough to maintain the level of health I want, and fit into my clothes decently. When I started comprehending the techniques of changing my reality and molding it to what I want it to be, I adopted a slightly different approach. I started actively changing my memories of the past, "remembering" myself doing more reps, lifting heavier weights, and going to the gym more often. When I was at the gym, I would envision myself being more muscular, which allowed me to push out more reps. In a short time I was able to get the body I wanted while going to the gym less, simply by going more in my "memory".

This type of phenomen is extremely well documented, it's well accepted that doing exercises mentally is *almost* as effective as doing them physically. You build muscle, get stronger, and become more coordinaated just as if you were actually doing it. What I realized that if I was able to implant the memory of having done the exercise it would be just as effective in changing my body.

The part that gets tricky, for me at least, is trying to comprehend how this works. It almost seems like I'm constructing an alternative reality in the past, and getting myself to accept that alternative reality without question almost feels like I'm tricking my concious mind--it resists it, to some extent. It takes concious effort, and all the thought control ability that I have, to force myself to accept the alternative reality instead of the one I've already experienced. My best guess about how this works, as of right now, is that I have to spend more time mentally in the alternative reality than I spent in the physical reality observing what I want to change. For example, if I slam my finger in a car door, the longer I spend dwelling on the pain and what just happened, the longer it will take to heal. If I *immediately* recognize that I need to construct an alternate version of what just happened, and run thru it in my mind several times, then the alternate version becomes more real than what just physically happened, I forget about the pain, and pretty quickly forget that it ever happened.

So that is the core of my technique in a nutshell. It's taken me a long time to train myself to have the level of thought control where I'm cognizant of what I'm observing and thinking about, and am able to derail that train of thought and replace it with the reality that I really want. It's like editing a video of my life as it happens, the trick is to force yourself to forget about the clips that you don't want to have happen.

So when someone says, "Face it, that's reality" then you can say, "Not my reality".

I like your real world example on how to do this technique. There is a lot of deep information here for anyone looking.

Even my face looks very different, it looks more alive and less gloomy. I been doing it before going to bed. I noticed when I do the DNA needle it seems to work, because I felt pressure in my eyes and also in my forehead.

I love changing my eyes with my mood. When I'm feeling particularly catty or witchy, they go green. Some days they're blue, others blue-grey, and I've even had them go hazel. I read somewhere once that everyone's irises contain all the different eye colours, they just don't all show.

No, this is not using contact lenses (although I did have some fun with very turquoise coloured ones once - depending on what colour my underlying eyes were I got totally different comments!)

PS For all those who want larger breasts - take it from someone who's sick of fishing out crumbs and having to lean over to eat dinner (absolutely NO point in wearing a napkin, since nothing would make it down that far) - it's not all it's cracked up to be!!! If you STILL want them - let me know and I'll see if the universe will let me send you some of mine...

There is a lot of scientific talk in the subsequent videos so if you want to skip most of it and get to the perception equals reality part, skip to this video after watching the first one.

As a female that has been into lifting weights like a body builder I have come into many situations, both physical and mental, that aren't in my favor. I have overcome these with pure mental power and never thought that there was an entire feild of though and real research and proponents of this mental attitude (greatly dumbed down way of saying it lol.) Now that I have been exposed to these ideas, and specifically this thread I feel an anxiousness to get to the gym. Which is now a place I think of as an opportunity to work and free my mind and not just my muscles.

I am trying a similar thing,trying to change my eyes' color to blue.I have a theory about it should work.My eyes were blue when i was born,but like some other people's eyes after some time they changed to another colour(hazel i think).My theory is,if it has changed once,why not again?

But it's really difficult to change the physcial appearance i think.You think like "Yes i can do it" then you visualize,affirm and go to a mirror with excitement.But when you see that there is no change,you lose your morale and hope(at least for a while)(It's same for trying telekinesis too)

But i believe that it's possible to heal diseases and also change physical body,cause i believe that mind is the creator of the universe and the body.

This morning I went to do cardio. I usually aim to burn about 200 calories. At 300 I knew I could not stop. My mind was over powering me. My heart rate monitor would tell me that my heart was beating faster and faster depending on what I was thinking, as I was not physically moving faster. I visualized my shoulders growing and the fuzzy reflection of myself in the window became clear with focused eyes and beautiful shoulders. I felt like I could physically go faster than the machine and I pushed and pushed while telling myself it was effortless, and it was. I almost felt like I was cheating my cardio session because I didn't feel like I was working hard. My mind was completely focused on watching my reflexing going faster, with growing arms and having a thick strong back and muscular legs. My heart rate monitor logged that I was going harder than I usually do and as the minutes flew by I relized I had burned 500 calories in about an hour, a new personal record. I cant describe this anymore, although I am sure many here have experienced something similar, but I feel like I have mentally broken any and all percieved barriers to my physical strength and force capacities. From now on I will use my mind for a greater portion of my workouts and I will grow stronger and leaner every hour.

I remember watching a similar documentary in discovery channel years back. According to what I remember. If you do an exercise in real life = 100 percent
When you visualize it = 90 percent.

If you body remembers the feeling, you can go less to the gym and visualize daily. Example, if you used to go to the gym every other day, you can change this to 2- 3 times a week. Even once a week.

This is a fact. ^^, I'm glad someone posted this, it made me recall that documentary.

Thanks for

Quotes from page 295; Nature of Personal Reality
"Elements, chemcials, cells, atoms and molecules partially compose your living sculpture for which you are the designer of and you are the one who directs their activity through your conscious beliefs, which then initiate all of of those great creative powers that give your body its life and insure its constant reflection of the self that you believe you are". If you believe you're overweight - practice pretending you're thin. Feel it then see it.

It's too easy to be caught up in the hologram, and to forget that we are the creators of our reality.

There are research that had shown results that people who train shooting free throw mentally have achieved results same or better than those who trained physically. Training ourselves using mental images may help us to achieve our desired results too and we should try to incorporate it into our plans to help us achieve better results.

Oh man, do you perhaps have some pictures of your eyes having different colours? It's not that I'm skeptical, I'm in fact very excited to read your post! It sounds like it's so easy for you!

The BBC recently did a story on how people who visualized their muscles getting larger had about a 17% increase in muscle mass as opposed to those who just exercised.

I'd be excited to see something like that too! I do know someone personally whose eyes change from green/grey/blue. My own eyes turn a pale brown when I'm tired, when I'm feeling a lot of emotion they're a yellowy green, and when I'm well rested and perky they tend to be honey-colored. They were blue when I was born, I wonder if I could convince them to revisit those blue days?

I can't change them at will though...

This is a very interesting discussion.

Would it be possible for everyone who has some material on changing your body (anything from eye colour to looking younger to building muscles etc), whether articles, videos or links to books, could post it here?

Or can we make a separate thread on that?

This is an awesome topic!

[muah]

Silva method is the best I found for now:

What is the Silva Method and what is it good for 1/5 - YouTube

watch the who series

[Faergor]

guys? I read that people were able to heal from skin diseases through EFT,LOA,etc. Would I be able to bring lost pigmentation back to my skin? It is only slightly lighter. Pigment is lighter on my facial scar and also little below (I have lost it only recently, not sure why, since scar is few months old). Also, would I be able to get rid of scar and regrow my hair back?
If so, how? Please, I am desperate. Thank you.

I completely agree! And personal experience is often the best to tell others about.

Yeah, I'd really like to see the pics too!

It's when people share their own successful stories in a truthful way that I get the most inspired and encouraged... and I 've know a lot of other people who feel like I do about that.

Lots of push-ups.

My intention was to get rid of some scars that i've had for a while as a result of childhood injuries. I have 2 large ones (inner thigh & stomach). I've recorded myself saying positive affirmations about how i want to look (but as though i looked how i wanted now) & put them on my ipod. I listen to them on repeat 15 minutes before i get out of bed in the morning, and 15 minutes when i get into bed at night. This is when im most sleepy, so its easier to get through to my subconcious mind. After just 3 weeks of this, i've already seen drastic result, and the visibility of my scars are about half as obvious now.
I also go about my day acting as though i dont even have them, which i think has added to my results!

Not quite sure what you meant there, Vince.

I've used the illusion concept to put an autoimmune condition into remission. I've used it to lose weight, and to remove pain. Actually, weight loss was more visualization with an off shoot of the silva method.

[jota]

Hey sunshine what is illusion concept that you talked about?

[sunshineXTC]

The idea that this is all one big illusion - or to me, a dream - and we're in it, like in the movie The Matrix. They were all in the Matrix but didn't know they weren't really there. They thought they were but then they took the pill and woke up. Meditation is a way to wake up. ACIM's first 30 lessons (at least) will help you detach from the illusion. Once you start seeing how it is an illusion or a dream in my case (it's easier to make sense of as a dream for me but essentially the same thing), then you don't let it steal your power. For me, I get that when I am sucked into the 'drama' of the dream, I forget I have power to change things. Then I become a victim and stuff in the dream runs amok having control over me.

In the case of your physical body, seeing it as a dream gives me the power to change things. Stop pain. Put an illness into remission. Lose weight. I suppose I could try whatever I wanted. The key is to remember it's not real and that you have power here.

[jota]

Vey cool , theses days , theses informations about reality being a illusion are popping all over the place to me...thanks , this make me believe yet evem more that everything is really possible

Has anyone manifested anything else? I am aiming for removing scar and regrowing hair.

[loapatti]

Interesting thread!

I use to have a girl crush on Heather Locklear when she was starring in Melrose Place as Amanda Woodard. She was someone I really wanted to look like. I already had the blond hair and started to wear my hair like hers, shoulder length and straight. I even cut out pictures of her and hung them on my mirror to visualize while I did my makeup and hair in the morning.

Not long after, I was watching Melrose Place with my young niece and she turned to me and said "you look like Amanda". Pleased but not letting the opinion of a 6 year old affect me, I fluffed it off. But sure as poop, a girl at work just stopped me one day and said "you look like Heather Locklear". I could have fallen over when she said that because this girl was not one to give out compliments to other women if you know what I mean. Then I started to hear it more and more over the years...

I don't hear it to much lately because I have gained a few pounds but I think this thread will get me movtivated again to become more slender and start looking like Heather again and stick them on the mirror again..

mmmm, now where did I put those pictures I had of her?

Can't help you with the hair but I got rid of a smallish scar from a burn (iron) by rubbing my finger over and repeating "heal" again and again.

I did have this spurt a few years ago where it seemed like my hair was thinner and not growing quickly. I focused on memories of how it used to grow really fast and be super thick. Then it got so long and thick I ended up having 5 or 6" cut off for the summer because I couldn't take it anymore. Now, I'm going back to grows quickly because it turns out I love my hair longer. It's just more fun.

For a scar, don't notice it. I know it's hard, but the more you focus on its presence, the less chance you give it to fade. I had surgery back in 2002. I was a bit bugged by the scars at first. Then I got over it, decided it didn't really matter. I went to show them to someone at some point and they were barely there. It was weird. They seemed so obvious before.
