    Mind over matter is a phrase that has been used in several contexts, such as mind-centric spiritual doctrines, parapsychology, and philosophy.

    Merriam Webster Dictionary defines mind as "the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons" and mind over matter as able to; "a situation in which someone is able to control a physical condition, problem, etc., by using the mind".

    The phrase "mind over matter" first appeared in 1863 in The Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man by Sir Charles Lyell (1797–1875) and was first used to refer to the increasing status and evolutionary growth of the minds of animals and man throughout Earth history.

    It may be said that, so far from having a materialistic tendency, the supposed introduction into the earth at successive geological periods of life — sensation, instinct, the intelligence of the higher mammalia bordering on reason, and lastly, the improvable reason of Man himself — presents us with a picture of the ever-increasing dominion of mind over matter.

    — Sir Charles Lyell, 1863

    In the field of parapsychology, the phrase has been used to describe paranormal phenomena such as psychokinesis.

    Psychokinesis, or telekinesis, is an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction.

    The phrase also relates to the ability to control the perception of pain that one may or may not be experiencing.

    Good post. I notice this with blood tests / waxing. telling a person to prepare for the ''sharp scratch'' vs not telling them you are about to jab them - less pain or no pain


    Being aware of the pain coming , to expect it, increases the pain IMO

    A nocebo effect is said to occur when negative expectations of the patient regarding a treatment cause the treatment to have a more negative effect than it otherwise would have.

    For example, when a patient anticipates a side effect of a medication, they can suffer that effect even if the "medication" is actually an inert substance.

    The complementary concept, the placebo effect, is said to occur when positive expectations improve an outcome. Both placebo and nocebo effects are presumably psychogenic, but they can induce measurable changes in the body.

    One article that reviewed 31 studies on nocebo effects reported a wide range of symptoms that could manifest as nocebo effects including nausea, stomach pains, itching, bloating, depression, sleep problems, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction and severe hypotension.

    The term nocebo (Latin nocēbō, "I shall harm", from noceō, "I harm") was coined by Walter Kennedy in 1961 to denote the counterpart to the use of placebo (Latin placēbō, "I shall please", from placeō, "I please"; a substance that may produce a beneficial, healthful, pleasant, or desirable effect).

    Kennedy emphasized that his use of the term "nocebo" refers strictly to a subject-centered response, a quality inherent in the patient rather than in the remedy"

    In the narrowest sense, a nocebo response occurs when a drug-trial subject's symptoms are worsened by the administration of an inert, sham, or dummy (simulator) treatment, called a placebo.

    According to current pharmacological knowledge and the current understanding of cause and effect, a placebo contains no chemical (or any other agent) that could possibly cause any of the observed worsening in the subject's symptoms.

    Thus, any change for the worse must be due to some subjective factor. Adverse expectations can also cause the analgesic effects of anesthetic medications to disappear.

    Psychogenic pain is physical pain that is caused, increased, or prolonged by mental, emotional, or behavioral factors, without evidence of physical injury or illness.

    Headache, back pain, or stomach pain are some of the most common types of psychogenic pain.

    It is commonly accompanied by social rejection, broken heart, grief, lovesickness, regret, or other such emotional events.

    This pain can also be caused by psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, which can affect the onset and severity of pain experienced.

    Pain is always a personal experience that is influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological, and social factors.

    Through their life experience, individuals learn the concept of pain.

    A person's report of an experience of pain should be respected.

    Meditation is incredibly advantageous to our mental and physical health.

    That’s because when you meditate you’re working towards changing the state of your mind and body.

    Meditation is effective because it reduces or eliminates fear-based thoughts, which in turn influences the body.

    From a relaxed state, you are more focused, have expanded awareness, and are mindful so you can overcome challenges, or at the very least make wise decisions or create a sound strategy to attain your goals.
