Dawson Church is a renowned author and researcher in mind-body healing. With a deep focus on the intersection of science and spirituality, he has dedicated his career to exploring how your thoughts and beliefs can profoundly influence your physical and emotional well-being. With a slight shift in thinking, harnessing the magic of the mind is just a thought away.
Our thoughts can shape our reality
One warm summer’s day, Dawson Church went swimming alone at a beach in Hawaii. After enjoying the sunshine and the clear water, he felt satisfied and decided to swim back to shore. He reached for his keys in the pocket of his swimming trunks, but it was empty. The jeep and hotel keys he had stored there had disappeared!
He believed that “faith creates results” and that he could change the situation’s outcome. Telling himself not to panic, he imagined the keys slowly drifting back from the bottom of the sea. With this idea in mind, he dove again and systematically searched the bay, back and forth, over and over. Despite his mind telling him, “It’s a waste of effort,” he persisted. Whenever negative thoughts or feelings of panic surfaced, he refocused his awareness on his heart and kept his mind soft and receptive.
He searched the area for an hour while the sky darkened, the water grew colder, and tourists left one by one. He was nearly ready to give up. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a father and his three children snorkeling in the distance. They took turns diving into the sea and surfacing again. At this point, for some reason, he swam toward them and asked: “Did you find anything at the bottom of the sea?” To his amazement, the youngest son opened his hand, and there in front of him lay the keys he had lost.
In 2019, Dawson Church published the book Science Proves What You Think Comes True, quickly becoming a bestseller and a sensation. The book presents a comprehensive collection of studies demonstrating that the power of the mind is not only real, but also incredibly potent and far-reaching. He believes people’s pessimism and unhappiness are illusions because people live their lives exactly as they want. If they are unhappy, they first need to awaken this inner power of the mind and reshape and change their perceptions of the world.
What are the odds of finding lost keys in the sea? One intriguing aspect of this story is that the keys didn’t resurface as Dawson expected, but were returned to him with the help of another family. Although the keys were found unexpectedly, the universe answered Dawson’s hopes in a way that exceeded his expectations. Through sharing this narrative, Dawson conveys the profound message of the universe’s power to the readers of his book.
The mind works in mysterious ways
Renowned psychologist and psychiatrist Dr. David R. Hawkins has dedicated 20 years to conducting scientific research, administering millions of tests on thousands of subjects.
Through extensive data compilation, Dr. Hawkins has identified positive and negative psychic powers of the mind delineated by frequency. These frequencies range from below 20, representing the very lowest, to 1000, the highest. Dr. Hawkins found that approximately 85 percent of people in the world exhibit negative energy, characterized by a value below 200.
Positive states of mind, such as being easy-going, helpful, kind, understanding, and accepting, can strengthen a person’s willpower and physical strength, improving their whole life.
The study found that honesty empowers individuals to overcome adversity and gain confidence in guiding the direction of their lives. On the other hand, arrogance, anger, pursuing self-interest, complaining, blaming, and harboring hatred typically signify negative mental states.
He also discovered that as one’s energy value reaches 500, material wealth and worldly desires lose significance; people are essentially less selfish. This explains why true spiritual practitioners, spiritual teachers, and a select few great artists are uninterested in pursuing or coveting material gain.
The best way to turn your luck around
So how do you raise your energy value? Dr. Hawkins suggests improving your morality, eliminating harmful thoughts, and avoiding low-energy people, things, and objects.
For instance, carefully selecting friends, reading uplifting books, listening to classical music, eating healthy and organic food, or spending time with gentle pets can boost positive energy. In short, striving for a refined, calm, and peaceful life can help maintain or increase mental energy levels.
The person with the highest energy Dr. Hawkins studied was Mother Teresa, who was present at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. She was found to have a frequency of 700, and the moment she walked into the room, the hearts of all those present were filled with an inexplicable sense of well-being, with little thought of distractions or resentment.
Dr. Hawkins noted that extensive scientific research data showed, under ordinary circumstances, the majority of people worldwide could only increase their level of consciousness energy by up to five points throughout their lives.
However, even for those with a lower energy frequency, the universe, in its compassion, opens the door of salvation to humankind, especially for those imbued with kindness. As demonstrated by Dawson’s miraculous retrieval of the keys from the hands of a young boy in the ocean, the connection of kind hearts and positive thoughts can indeed lead to magical outcomes.
