Both imagining bicep growth & exercising result in muscle growth
Our mind isn't just a passive observer – it's a powerful creator. Science shows that our thoughts, beliefs and subconscious patterns can directly influence our body’s physical reality, including in healing, strength, and even muscle growth.
One of the most fascinating studies in this area involved two groups of people
Group 1 - performed actual physical bicep curls regularly over a few weeks
Group 2 - did no physical training at all – they simply visualised flexing their bicep and imagining the muscle growing, daily
The result? BOTH GROUPS gained muscle strength
The physical group improved by about 30%
The mental imagery group improved by 13.5%, with no actual movement
This proves something profound
Our brain can train our body, even without moving a muscle
Our subconscious DOESN'T fully distinguish between REAL and VIVIDLY IMAGINED experiences
So when remove subconscious blocks and instead see success, healing, strength, or transformation, our nervous system responds as if it’s ALREADY HAPPENING. How amazing is that!
Psych-K, a modality I use for healing, speaks directly to our subconscious - the true driver of our biology.
