People are injecting stem cells and paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for therapies for.
And if you could get the same benefits with re-embracing childhood wonder and play for free, people should probably know that.
So that's kind of the thesis of the book.
I mean, it's...
So yes, the mind is dominant, right?
Because the mind is where our ego lives.
And when we're trained into a state of self-protection because we believe the world around us is unsafe for any reason, then the grip of the mind takes hold.
And
puts our bodies into a state where we resist change and learning.
And so this is actually what I call in the book Dr. Dave's Mind Blowers, which are these very simple concepts that have been taught incorrectly in modern education.
And by modern education, I mean for the last couple hundred years.
that we still teach these incorrectly like for instance we teach that the mind and the body are disconnected but we know and separate but we know definitively that if you are mentally and emotionally ill for an extended period of time and you don't do anything about it you do become physically ill oh yeah
We know that stress increases your heart rate and your blood pressure and your breath rate.
And we know that when you slow your breath rate intentionally by choice, your heart rate comes down and your thoughts slow down and you start to feel better within 90 to 120 seconds.
So there's very clearly a mind-body intimate irrevocable connection, right?
And if we deny that at the core, then we lose out on the opportunity to engage that relationship and take the wheel, right?
We let the environment steer what, like dictate what happens to us rather than us
saying, oh, well, I actually have a say in the outcome because I can change my mind.
I have the power to change my mind.
That is incredible power.
