Mind over body
He was studied by researchers at the Menninger Foundation, demonstrating the power of the mind over the body by putting a long sail-maker's needle through his biceps with no resultant bleeding.<ref name=Green/> He reported his ability to see auras and rays associated with individuals (Krippner & Rubin, 1974). He maintained that what others had accomplished through biofeedback or yoga he was able to do through his self-created meditation practices (Grof, 1984), (Klimo, 1987), (Leigh, 1987), (Svoboda, 1987), (Gunther, 1978). Results of tests performed on Schwarz documented his abilities to self-regulate many psychophysiological processes (Pelletier, 1977). Schwarz explained that by voluntarily attaining specific brain wave states, he could control the pain of physical trauma, regulate blood flow, blood pressure, and heart rate (Patten & Patten, 1988), (Carlson & Shield, 1989), (Boyd, 1989), (Grof. & Bennett, 1990), (Talbot, 1991). Readings charted by an electroencephalograph confirmed that the electrical output of his brain had a different amplitude and voltage than other research subjects (Green, 2001). Experiments demonstrated his ability to heal his body within hours after it was injured, and be unaffected by toxic substances injected into his body (Pelletier, 1978), (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1991), (Andrews, 1992). He devoted his life to teaching others how to develop optimal states of health (Andrews, 1993), (Robbins, 2000).
