The potential impact of beliefs on our
health and aging process
 Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, by Deepak
Chopra, 1993
 People grow old and die because they see
others grow old and die.
 Inherited expectation – destined to suffer,
grow old and die
 Estimates that, without negative influences
from outside, our bodies could last between
115 and 130 years before the aging process
finally caused them to shut down
The Self-fulfilling Prophecy
 Dr. Leonard Orr, the founder of the American
rebirthing movement
 two people within every one of us – the
thinker (the conscious mind), and the prover
(the subconscious mind)
 Orr’s Law: “Whatever the thinker thinks, the
prover proves.”
Schools for Learning Helplessness
 The Elephant School
 The Piranha School
The power of beliefs
 learning new skills and behaviour is not
enough
 you must belief that “ you can make it”
 then you will take positive action
 “You can never be more than we believe is
possible so start to believe in possibilities.”
