Can our mind power (praying) be used for healing purposes? Are there any examples of people successfully using their mind power to cure diseases, without medical treatment?

The placebo effect is well known, and it's remarkable how much effect it can have. More recently the so-called "nocebo effect", the evil twin of the placebo effect, has been identified.

A lot of what's called faith healing is snake oil, but every once in a while you come across something that isn't readily explained.

I think that people can certainly convince themselves that they have healing, and it can eradicate some pain that they may be feeling. No one can talk themselves into their cancer healing though.

Does our "our mind power" = praying?

What do you mean by OUR "mind power?"




.

Ever look at the frontal image of the brain? It looks just like a tree. Is it Proverbs which says, a child of God is like a tree planted by the waters of life.... he meditates day and night on the word of God.... his leaves never fade...... no matter the season..... Paraphrasing of course. The brain is really cool it looks like a tree with many branches. Science calls the many branches the neuron forest . Its neurons firing off are its leaves 🌱there are many branches 🌳 The waters which flow from Gods throne, staying in that down flow...... The possibilities are endless......🌊You mind becomes like a tree of life to others, a reflection of His Wisdom.Blessed be the name of our Lord Jesus!
