I have been meditating for about half a year. I can clear my mind and keep it free of pointless everyday thoughts. However, I want more. What can I do during meditation to become closer to myself and create thoughts that can affect the physical world. I believe thoughts have energy and mass and can influence the physical world. How can I become master of my mind?

I have seen a few claims here and on other forums that if you meditate or get hypnosis, then the door is open for demons to come in. However, I cannot find a source for this idea. Do you really believe that quieting the mind is dangerous? If so is there a Biblical basis for this? What about our ordinary state of mental chatter? Can a demon really get through to someone who is in meditation that cannot get through when that person is worried about their to-do list, what they are going to have for dinner tonight, etc?

In another question, someone suggested that meditation just made your mind numb and empty, and then it was in danger of being filled with wrong thoughts.
I don’t know if they meant it became the Devil’s Playground after that or not.

I’ve never felt that way in meditation, and I wonder if this is a popular Christian belief, that prayer is good but meditation is not.

Mind control is always an effective tool for stress management but, it is not always easy. When your brain receives stress signals from the outside, it reacts in the way it is designed to in a quest to fight back or to get away from the situation altogether. This mechanism or response is called ‘fight or flight’. Stress happens to everyone and the causes are referred to as stressors. Stress is the feeling of pressure that is often overwhelming and comes with consequences including serious diseases. Therefore, it is extremely crucial to engage every tool available that can help manage stress effectively. Mind control for stress management is simply sending positive impulses or thoughts to your brain, informing it that there is no stress or the act to stop worry.

If indeed there is a stressor present, it is hard to convince the brain that there is no stress however, people who have had mind control work for them do not have to convince the brain that the stressor is non existent. The key is to identify the stressor or the problem, then deal with it. This means that you have to create positivity despite of the situation and demonstrate that even with problems, you can still go ahead with confidence and make it through the hurdles of life. This can be done by constantly reminding yourself that all will be well and that you have the power to go on. Others use meditation where they take time to get in touch with their inner feelings as they rejuvenate and re energize.
