Orphen, that's certainly the take I get from Vietnamese Buddhism (my preferred path). The Vietnamese tradition has virtually no supernatural aspect.
If you wanted to make a cloud disappear from the sky, the Vitenamese Buddhist would recommend that you simply remove it from your thoughts. The key here is that you need to have the awareness to realize that the cloud is simply removed from your thoughts, and didn't actually magically disappear.
I would say that is neither mind over matter or mind over body. It's mind over perception.
