You're referring to mind over matter and/or biofeedback. Anything is possible when it comes to the mind and body. Even science doesn't know our true potential yet. The smartest of humans only ever use approximately 30% of their total brain power. There is so much untapped power in our minds that it will never be assessed in out lifetime.

I believe it is auto suggestion, but to me it is a miracle that you body can do something like that even if it is self suggested (and subliminally at that).

simple fact of the matter is that I should be able to put anything into my body I want to w/o interference from the gubment. I, and I alone am the owner of my body, and I should be able to do whatever the heck I want to w/it.  Period, end of story.

if you truly do have this special ability,you have to practice a lot to have complete control over your own power.it may be hard at first but as time passes,you will be able to use it without any problems.always remember that practice makes perfect.

I use breath control when I jog. Because we are two legged creatures, when we run, we have an extra moment though which to gather ourselves. You can literally breathe to your desire. \n\nIn yoga, breath control is crucial, inorder to circulate the blood to your muscles in certain stregnths. \n\nCo-ordinating your breath with thought, allows room for intelligent thought to be collected and understood!

No... short answer, but it can be controlled.

There are many things that we do that do not require our conscious brain.  Whatever things you are talking about, perhaps the subconscious got started on it before the consciousness got involved.  When cockroaches feel stimulus on their back legs, they begin running before their conscious mind knows why they are running.  It's just like the other poster said, the impulse telling your hand to pull oout of a fire doesn't require your conscious mind to make a decision, it starts the process for you.\n\nIt's an interesting idea that this might have to do with quantum wierdness, but I think experiments woudl reject that.  I encourage you to keep thinking of things like this and hypothesizing.  Eventually you may be teaching us instead of the other way around :-)

You have succeded in controlling the movements of a pendulum because you were holding the pendulum and moving it with your hand (I've done it myself).\n\nTelekinetic powers don't exist, simple as that (though there are a lot of things mistaken for telekinesis and a lot of cheating).

Free will... isn't an excuse to not take responsibility for your own actions.\nYou thoughts and actions ARE yours.  If you believe you are completely controlled by the universe, the universe would not have you ask this question as it would be useless.

Don't any of you people have control over your life? A free being determines what comes into and out of ones life. Why should it bother you what people say even if it true or not true. Your worst enemy can be your  best 'guru'. Your 'reaction' is your choice unless you are a robot.

Excellent, on all three measures.\n\nPhilosophically, I'd put it this way.  When you exercise you take control of your body.  And in so doing you learn what I consider one of the most important lessons for a successful life.\n\nYou are happening to the world...you are NOT just a passive, temporary resident of "spaceship earth".  The more you become proactive, the more you observe your ability to have an impact (good and bad) the more you can accomplish.\n\nAnd certainly, seizing control of your body is a great place to start.  Darned right you'll feel better, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Its a way people can be manipulated and controlled.

What you are talking about is a little weird, but you can sort of do it.  It isn't by creating alternative personalities.  That only exists in rare psychological illnesses.  But you can train yourself to do two things at once, and you can train your left hand to do one thing, your right hand another.  But you better be damn smart.  I have read of a few people that smart and had one college professor like that.

Your body can do some crazy things!  So yes it could be possible.

That's what brought me here to answer this question :-)\n\nSeriously though, I believe that we have our own will in life, but we are 'guided'.  That's why, at times, people do extra-ordinary things and events without explanation sometimes occur.
