Power of the mind

On my journey to discovering OBE's and the like, I discovered that the mind is a very powerful piece of equipment. As well as turning off body parts when practicing for OBE's, I have managed to quickly do this when needed in other situations.

For example, waxing. When I have my back waxed, I can literaly turn off my pain receptors on my back and I feel nothing. And now I can do it in about 30-60 seconds. It's great to see other people's surprise when you don't even flinch in certain situations, when anybody else would be screaming and yelling.

I also managed to do this when I had a traffic accident while riding my bicycle. Tore the muscles across my thigh - pretty much totally, and didn't feel a thing. Although it may have been shock at first, the doctor at the hospital was in a bit of shock when I refused an injection for pain relief. Though in this case I found that after a while it was difficult to keep up this "turn off" effect, and finally asked for the pain killers...

I have yet to control my mind in other ways though, but who knows what may be possible...
