Back in my twenties and thirties i was heavily involved in the martial arts and did alot of reading as well as training.
I came across a story in either Black belt ,, or inside Kung Fu. magazine.
It was about a black belt that specialized in braking blocksof ice and tiles of stone, setting a number of records.
His name (i hope i get this rightlol) was Richie Barathy. He was a leader among these type of martial artists but suffered a terrible break of his bones of the hand , failing a world record.
Many thought his career was over,but Barathy was resolute in his hope that he could mend. So Mr Barathy began a practice at night, a exercise in visualization .
Each night as he lay preparing for sleep, he imagined a crew of guys going down his arm into his hand, and there they imagined them working all night on the damaged bone and tissue.
Now this might sound silly but it worked!,, apparently his skills of focus were strong enough that he healed very quickly and was able in a very short time to come back and Attempt the same brake again of a bunch of slabs of either rock or ice.
He succeeded and set that world record!
It seems to me if that is possible that that same idea could be used in a number of ways,, possibly a person could with sure belief, do this same form of visualization to possibly create growth? What are your ideas on it?
