It's all in your head.
Been told exactly that or understood that was the meaning?
"Perceptialy-mediated swapping of a painful and swelling wrist from one wrist to the opposite wrist" experiments, showed that tissue changes consistent with swelling in the wrist were happening soon after the shift in perception of which side the wrist was on.
(It is done with mirrors.)
There is sometimes central (brain) involvement in physical changes to distant tissues.

Science -- cosmology, evolution and especially the brain sciences -- is telling us that we have no privileged position in the universe and that our sense of having a private nonmaterial soul "watching the world" is really an illusion (as has long been emphasized by Eastern mystical traditions like Hinduism and Zen Buddhism). Once you realize that far from being a spectator, you are in fact part of the eternal ebb and flow of events in the cosmos, this realization is very liberating. Ultimately this idea also allows you to cultivate a certain humility -- the essence of all authentic religious experience.
