I've thought about this stuff a bit - including for exercise/working out - it's very cool.

There was a three part Australian documentary series recently, "Redesign My Brain", which had an episode which focused on physical training, and featured this approach. The test subject (presenter) was being tested/trained by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), and one of the tests was throwing darts with his non-preferred hand. After completing his first trial, they told him to mentally practice the act of throwing the darts, and without actually throwing any darts he improved considerably by his second (and final) trial.

Yes, it's film and they could have dodgied the results but the fact the AIS uses this approach is quite significant IMO. Athletes talk about visualisation all the time too.

The book "Evolve Your Brain", by Dr. Joe Dispenza, details this approach mainly for the application of healing. He used this method to heal his back which was completely fucked from being hit by a car while riding a bike. From his own experience he then went on to study events of miraculous (spontaneous) healing in other people and compiled a list of key elements in their approach to healing. From memory, it was mainly a matter of making the imagined experience as real as possible in order to achieve the greatest result, and this generally involved losing your (local) sense of space and time.

Jazz musician (pianist) Kenny Werner also details this approach to playing piano in his book "Effortless Mastery" - citing a study which had groups of people practice piano in different ways (some practicing physically, others mentally, and others not at all). The people who practiced mentally were significantly better than those who did not practice at all.

I just wish I was more motivated and committed to incorporating this practice into my life... The main way I've used it is for social anxiety - imagining positive conversations and interactions with people. In conjunction with other things, it's worked well.

Imagining and visualization is pretty much the same thing, I remember reading about it years ago.

theory that evolution happens within consciousness primarily which allow for beneficial physical mutations to follow vs the dogmatic typical interpretation of the observation of evolution where physical evolution is the primary cause for higher consciousness.

I feel the science discussed in this thread supports this theory.
