The mind is a powerful thing. Talking about it likely triggered that to happen. Power of the mind.

I know it is confusing and it's hard to understand. Let me give you an example of power of the mind, my psychiatrist told me it because I had a weird thing happen to me a little while ago.

There were 2 researchers in the jungle, near the equator ... and it's super hot there obviously. They set up camp and went to sleep. The one researcher woke up in a sweat and couldn't get back to sleep. He thought to himself, I wish I could get some air so I can cool down and sleep again. He heard a zipper, felt a cool breeze and fell asleep. The next morning he turns to his other researcher buddy and says. Thank you for opening up the tent for me, I was so hot. He said I didn't open the tent , I undid my sleeping back.

Power of the mind.

Now what happened to me was that I saw our car drive away, and thought where is my dad going? I yelled down to my twin and asked her where he'd be off to, she said likely to the store. Thought nothing of it. About an hour later I'm sitting in my livingroom and I see my dad pull in with the van. Well I freaked out and asked him if he had the pontiac, he said no i've been out all day and had the van. I called my mom at work and asked her if she came home for something, she said no she's been at work all day.

Power of the mind.

I associated seeing my dad in a car , and literally saw him drive away, when it was likely someone else in the identical car pulling out of my driveway to turn around. But I swear I saw him, because I never saw anyone pull in my driveway.

Power of the mind.

Interesting huh? That is likely what happened to you with your doctor, seeing her come at you. Does that make sense?
