More?[edit]

Examples, references? Not bad right now, but more on the adrenalin thing. Also, people who've fucked themselves up doing this stuff - David Gerard (talk) 23:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm gonna move the bit about breaking ice and bricks. thats not mind over matter its simple physics and is pretty easy when you learn how and have the proper application of strength--BenB (talk) 01:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm wondering if Brain Gym is an example - or more interestingly, whether it's technically the reverse as it's exercising the body to increase the power of the mind.
