In recent years, medical doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists have developed tests which have demonstrated that positive thinking can be a powerful influence by promoting health and well being in those who practice it. This backs up the early affirmations of people such as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale who was one of the first proponents of positive thinking more than sixty years ago, and whose teachings, supported by the work of others, are still gaining wide acceptance today.

The tests used have utilized brand new techniques that have determined the effectiveness of positive thoughts on a person’s health. New positive thinking tests which use established physical body sciences, have shown that certain thought patterns are actually more influential in promoting health and well being in humans than others are. The method involves measuring the muscle response of test subjects to oral statements and looking at how positive and negative statements affect the response. This is very useful in helping scientists determine which statements have a more beneficial effect. The test programs are still ongoing.

It is also interesting to note that tests being performed go beyond just simple muscle reactions to various oral statements. Scientists have also come up with a measurement scale that quantifies the actual power of those effects on muscles. This kinesiological testing has produced amazing results in that it plainly shows that certain words and phrases have much more effect than others. As a case in point, the word “anger” had a much more pronounced effect than the word “fear”, while the words “shame” and “guilt” had extremely-low responses. This demonstrates beyond a doubt that positive thinking words and self talk evoke much higher responses than their negative equivalents.

One very-significant implication of this new positive thinking testing is the fact that none of the results came from ‘random’ or ‘accidental’ occurrences. And also that virtually anything retained in mind can produce a measurable effect.

Scientists involved in this leading edge research believe that they have only touched the tip of the iceberg in this new field and also that future studies and positive thinking tests will demonstrate even greater influences of positive thinking on health, happiness and overall well being in those who embrace it. The research began when one psychiatrist proposed his belief that some human thoughts are detrimental to health while others are beneficial. The testing processes that evolved from this practitioner’s original contention promise to go far in demonstrating that positive thinking is actually necessary to good health in human beings.
