Introduction - Mind Over Body
"There are many invalids today who will ever remain so because they cannot be convinced that their experience is not reliable. The brain is the capital of the body, the seat of all the nervous forces and of mental action. The nerves proceeding from the brain control the body. By the brain nerves, mental impressions are conveyed to all the nerves of the body as by telegraph wires, and they control the vital action of every part of the system. All the organs of motion are governed by the communications they receive from the brain." 3T 69
In this lens, through various articles and resources, I hope to help all those who deal with some form of mental illness whether directly or indirectly. All of us are effected in some way by the rising number of mental illness cases. It may be a family member or friend or neighbor that is directly affected. May this Lens be a shining ray of hope to all of those who have been told "thats just the way you are." After reviewing this lens hopefully you will realize that victory is possible and you hold the key!
"The power of the will and the importance of self-control, both in the preservation and in the recovery of health, the depressing and even ruinous effect of anger, discontent, selfishness, or impurity and, on the other hand, the marvelous life-giving power to be found in cheerfulness, unselfishness, gratitude, should also be shown." Ed 197

Relationship Between Common Illnesses and Mental Health
Disease is sometimes produced, and is often greatly aggravated, by the imagination. Many are lifelong invalids who might be well if they only thought so. Many imagine that every slight exposure will cause illness, and the evil effect is produced because it is expected. Many die from disease the cause of which is wholly imaginary.
Courage, hope, faith, sympathy, love, promote health and prolong life. A contented mind, a cheerful spirit, is health to the body and strength to the soul. "A merry [rejoicing] heart doeth good like a medicine." Proverbs 17:22.
In the treatment of the sick the effect of mental influence should not be overlooked. Rightly used, this influence affords one of the most effective agencies for combating disease.
Percentage of Population effected by mental illness directly or indirectly.
The aim of this poll is to get a general understanding of how many of our reading are affected by mental illnesses. My hunch is that its a large portion of society. It may not be you but is could be a family or friends.
Your answers will be taken anonymously. Thanks for your participation!
The Capital of the Body
The Importance of Mental Health
The mind controls the whole man. All our actions, good or bad, have their source in the mind. It is the mind that worships God and allies us to heavenly beings. Yet many spend all their lives without becoming intelligent in regard to the casket [jewel case] that contains this treasure. FE 426
