Our State of Being or State of Mind:
When Mind and Body Are One
Please note: Throughout this book, I will refer interchangeably to your
having and creating a state of being or a state of mind. For example, we
could say that how you think and how you feel create a state of being. I
want you to understand that when I use the terms state of being and state of
mind, your physical body is a part of that state. In fact, as you will see later
on, many people exist in a state in which the body has “become” the mind,
when they are ruled almost exclusively by the body and how it feels. So
when I talk about the observer having an effect, it is not just the brain that is
at work influencing matter, but the body as well. It is your state of being
(when mind and body are one), as an observer, which has effects on the
external world.
Thoughts + Feelings Produce Test-Tube Results
We communicate with the quantum field primarily through our thoughts
and feelings. Since our thoughts are themselves energy—as you know, the
electrical impulses the brain generates can easily be measured by devices
such as an EEG—they are one of the primary means by which we send out
signals into the field.
Before I go into greater detail on how this works, I want to share with
you a remarkable study that demonstrates how our thoughts and feelings
influence matter.
Cellular biologist Glen Rein, Ph.D., conceived of a series of experiments
to test healers’ ability to affect biological systems. Since DNA is more
stable than substances such as cells or bacterial cultures, he decided to have
healers hold test tubes containing DNA.^3
This study took place at the HeartMath Research Center in California.
The folks there have conducted extraordinary research into the physiology
of emotions, heart-brain interactions, and much more. Essentially, they and
others have documented a specific link between our emotional states and
our heart rhythms. When we have negative emotions (such as anger and
fear), our heart rhythms become erratic and disorganized. In contrast,
