• This is the focus of most eastern philosophies. Check out some books by Jack Kornfield. He makes it all very accessible.

    The mind is very powerful. You can control your subconscious. By focusing on your breath, and returning your focus to your breath after your attention wanders, again and again, you develop a muscle memory to control your brain.

    If you need any more proof and that it works, look to the Buddhist monks who lit themselves on fire to protest and did not scream.

      Thanks, I’ll look that up. I’ve never really been exposed to eastern viewpoints, Buddhism, etc. I’m pretty Midlands/northern UK, so it’s not really a thing you hear about here.
