About Mindfulness Exercises: The practice of self regulation of the autonomic nervous system. We teach integrated mind-body mental exercises to trigger a natural parasympathetic response in the autonomic nervous system. This response releases powerful neurochemicals (biochemicals) that regulate the immune system. Regulation of the immune system transforms the human body at the cellular level. This natural transformation affects our view, how we feel, and ultimately our perception of reality, it …

The Rationale: When we talk about Mind Power, we refer more specifically to that of the subconscious mind. A powerful storehouse that save all messages. A clear mirror that reflects all the ideas you feed it positive & negati …
