We are told that meditation is good for the mind and that we need sleep to form memories and to relax, regroup and allow our bodies to take a break. Okay, but what if I told you that you can also lose weight while you sleep? I’m sure you’ve already considered this thought, but let’s go to a higher place and take this conversation to a higher level, shall we?

There is a great article to read that might be appropriate for this subject and intellectual inquiry titled; “Virtual Reality Solutions to Enhance Physiotherapy” by Carlo Camporesi, Marcelo Kallmann, and Jay J. Han, published in 2013. The summary is straightforward and simple;

“We present new solutions based on Virtual Reality technologies to improve the delivery of physical therapy and rehabilitation. Three main aspects are addressed: 1) the ability to allow therapists to create new exercises and therapy programs intuitively through direct demonstration, 2) automatic therapy delivery and monitoring with the use of an autonomous virtual tutor that can monitor and quantitatively assess the movements made by the patient, and 3) networked collaborative remote therapy sessions through connected applications that display the movements of both the therapist and the patient. of the patient”.

Okay, VR physiotherapy is basically tricking your mind into healing itself by convincing your muscles that it’s doing what it’s supposed to do and that your mind is connected to the rest of your body correctly and that everything is fine, you can even see it. so your body makes those connections stronger, retrains your biosystem to work together again, and viola, you’re whole, at least that’s the goal. Well, what about dreaming? Can you trick your mind into thinking you’re doing something?

Sure, have you ever dreamed of flying, we all do from time to time, how about dreaming of running? Well, we are not the only species that can do that, watch your pets move their paws while they sleep at some point, most likely they dream about something they do all the time, running. Guess what? They’re probably burning fat, have elevated metabolisms, and are strengthening their brain’s connections to all those muscles, perhaps even building muscle memory.

You can do the same, just run in your mind as you start to drift off, as you transition from lucid dream to dream, think about running in a particular place, maybe around your neighborhood. This will help you burn fat cells. How can I know? Simple, I have done it and I have lost weight in the process. Please consider all this and think about it.
