Dr. Dawson Church: Mind to Matter - Scientific Evidence for
There are many studies showing links between mental states
and the ability to create material reality, according to researcher Dawson
Church. He describes this research in a book entitled “Mind to Matter: The
Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality” (Hay House,
2018). He also provides examples of people who are especially gifted at turning
their thoughts to things.
Church traces the complex biology of thought, from
electrical impulses flowing through our neural networks, to hormones and
enzymes produced in our cells, to changes in our environment. When the
electromagnetic activity of the brain is measured using MRI and EEG technology,
it shows that in states of peak creativity, specific frequencies are produced.
Brain scans of people in states of “flow,” such as elite athletes, mystics,
healers and peak performers, exhibit a unique electromagnetic signature. Those
suffering from depression and anxiety have a completely different brain wave
While electromagnetic fields are invisible energy, they
organize the matter around them in the same way that a bar magnet organizes
metallic particles around it. Church is especially interested in research
showing that certain frequencies generated by our brains regenerate tissue,
from nerve cells to blood corpuscles stem cells. These frequencies are more
pronounced in the brains of long-term meditators, healers, and peak performers.
Neural signaling pathways we use frequently grow and
develop. This produces resilience if we cultivate positive emotions like
compassion and love. If we habitually harbor emotions like fear and stress, it
stimulates the development of opposing pathways. Over time, Church finds, “the
software of mind becomes the hardware of brain.” The frequencies of coherent
brains in flow states actually organize the material environment around themselves.
The book uses over 150 illustrations, and draws from recent
discoveries in epigenetics, neurobiology, electromagnetism, social psychology,
cymatics, and quantum physics to trace each step in the process by which mind
creates matter. The science in the book is personalized with many case
histories of people who harnessed the power of their minds to create sudden and
dramatic change in their lives. Some had spontaneous healings from diseases
like terminal cancer and AIDS, while others found sudden wealth.
Church believes that most people are using only a small
fraction of their creative abilities. As we learn the techniques that bring us
into a state of flow, we shift our minds and bring the electromagnetic fields
of our brains into coherence. He shows how with practice, we can change these
neural information flows, our energy fields, and the world around us.

As Mind to Matter drops each piece of the scientific
puzzle into place, it leaves us with a profound understanding of the enormous
creative potential of our minds. It also gives us a road map to cultivating
these coherent brain states in our daily lives.
