And it is scientifically proven that your moods and attitudes can impact aspects of healing. For example, people with clinical depression are also inclined to develop certain physical ailments as well. Depression impacts the immune system. If your mental state can impact your physical well-being in a negative way (example: stress), it only stands to reason that it can impact it in positive ways as well (reduced stress). I think we are learning that we can have more control over our personal healing process than we previously thought. That doesn't me we can consciously direct cells to do certain things in certain areas of the body. But it does appear that we can impact the overall environment those cells are in and encourage certain cells to thrive with certain attitudes or dispositions.

This makes me wonder about healing miracle stories from the past. While I generally discount these stories (or take them upon pure faith with regards to religion), I wonder if some people in the past haven't had a knack for encouraging positive thoughts and feelings in others (through meditation, relaxation, hypnotism, etc.) and, thereby, indirectly assisted them in healing themselves to such a degree that people might have thought of it as miraculous.

I believe that once one removes all doubt from within that the mind actually can direct nerve impulses to an area of need, and apply/adjust pressure as needed to stimulate cells and effect remedy. Whether one has a "knack" for this or not possibly depends on that person subconsciously finding a back door open to that particular neural network where such signals can originate. Negativity is always the easiest path, and the easiest to witness and prove. Embracing all possibilities opens one up to uncharted territory, where the learning curve is steep. And that makes it hard for some, leading to a struggle with negativity and varying progress. 

When you consider the intricacy of the human body and compare it with what we do and don't understand about it, I think the potential for greater self-healing is certainly within our grasp eventually. Just have to get our conscious and subconscious on the same page. Easy peasy
