thinking about biting into a lemon causes salivation doesn't it. What more proof do we need. Thoughts become things. What you believe creates your experience. This is why some people are at peace regardless of circumstances whereas others are perpetually lost in drama ..... beliefs, about self, about life makes it all happen. Change your belief, change your experience.

I learned about placebos when my mother was in med school when I was growing up so I am always convinced that I am getting placebos with every prescription and only once I took a medication for panic attacks (Xanax bars, which are the high dose) and it did nothing at all and think it was a placebo but it was the only one in the bottle like that.... placebos seem akin to mindfulness...
