The Mind/Body/Energy Connection
|
Psychoneuroimmunology
is the science that investigates the mind/body/immune system connection. Our bodies remember - good, bad, or indifferent
- experiences, and tag the significant with deep feeling. The body is the mind. (specifically the deeper mind)
Explained
a bit more medically, neuropeptides are the electrochemical component physically encoded into molecules which exist on cell
walls throughout our tissues. These messenger molecules, are biological carriers of emotionally charged memories and information,
a.k.a. the “molecule of emotion.” Hence, memories live throughout our body, soft tissue, and
immune system.

I can’t get enough of the mind/body
connection - a.k.a. Psychoneuroimmunology. Seriously, the more I read, the more amazed I am.
This latest article > IF THOUGHTS ALONE CAN DO THIS TO YOUR BODY, JUST IMAGINE WHAT
THEY CAN DO TO THE MATERIAL WORLD < reiterates that the mind/body connection is not pseudoscience, and that indeed, thoughts, feelings, and emotions
play a huge part in our overall well-being.
Burning the candle from both
ends comes to mind. Only I’m not speaking of to-do’s, rather one’s ability to impact health. Positive emotions
boost our immune system, and on the flip side, memories retained in our tissues (not just the brain) affect our emotional experiences.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress
in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” ~ Nikola Tesla
Louise Hay, the founder of Hay House, wrote a series of books focused on healing your life with affirmations and positive thinking.
If you were able to believe
in Santa Claus for like 8 years, you can believe in yourself for like 5 minutes.

Working as a Massage Therapist,
I’ve had many opportunities to feel and/or experience energy. I believe everyone has this ability, however, most of
us are not privy to physically contact, with numbers of people, to become aware of variations. There is no question for me
that it exists. (A lesson, years ago, still resonates. You can read about it here.)
What Science is Telling Us About Earths Electromagnetic Fields
& How They Connect to Our Own claims that “the electromagnetic field emitted from the human heart can be measured up to several feet away from the
human body.”
Further,
HeartMath’s researches magnetic fields, and claims that all living creatures as well as Earth’s electromagnetic fields are connected.
“The emotional
information that’s modulated and coded into these fields changes their nature, and these fields can impact those around
us.”
Think
of the impact we could have, not only on our own nervous system, but on those around us as well. Love ~ Gratitude ~ Appreciation
~ Positivity Home ~ Work ~ School ~ Anywhere If you impact two people, and they impact two people, and so on, and
so on... Yes indeed, we could be part of a global consciousness shift. We could literally make the world a better place,
just by starting with the man in the mirror. The first step is becoming aware of our own thoughts, feelings, and attitude.

The full moon effects the crazy
in people. Isn’t that what we joke about?
Luna, the Latin name for the moon, hence, “The lunatics are out tonight”
or “She belongs in the loony bin.” (Lunacy: referring to insanity of an intermittent kind attributed to changes
of the moon. Yes, it actually made it to dictionary level.)
A few years back, while at the ER to help a friend, a hospital
staff member, point blank, stated that they were short staffed because most employees scheduled their vacation days to avoid
working during the full moon. On this particular night, the full moon fell exactly as Warped Tour was scheduled - which all
but sealed the sparsity of hospital personnel. “Last year the halls were lined with gurneys and kid after kid on IV’s.”
(You can find my ER story here.)

The moon is not alone in its
power. In fact, solar activity can wreak havoc on moods, sleeping patterns, and a host of other health issues.
In March of 2015, a solar flare not only wiped out
radio communications, it effected human central nervous systems. A partial list of effects, as outlined in Severe Geomagnetic Storm & Flares Causing Widespread Sleep Disturbances & Other Human Health
Effects: human behavior,
nervousness, anxiety, memory issues, headaches - 2 a.m. wakeup’s - violence, increase accidents, erratic behaviors,
etc.
Another article, March of 2012 - Solar Flare: The sun touches our psyche - discusses the correlations between solar flares
and moods. They state, interestingly, that, “From 1948 to 1997, the Institute of North Industrial Ecology Problems
in Russia found that geomagnetic activity showed three seasonal peaks each of those years (March
to May, in July, and in October). Every peak matched an increased incidence of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder,
and suicide...” Yet
another article written in March, - How Solar Flares Affect Human Health - Our Mind and Body - explains
the effect of solar flare energy on our mental and physical health., stating, “There is significant correlations between
hospital admissions and health registers and Solar-Geomagnetic Activity.” More disturbing, “solar storms can directly cause conflict, wars and even death...” In
fact, a study on violence found, “that as the sun cycle peaked,
there was a rise in human unrest, uprisings, rebellions, revolutions, and wars between nations.”
Sheesh! I am in agreement with Solar Flare: The sun touches our psyche's wonderment - “Since humans are physically,
mentally, and emotionally altered by electromagnetic charges from the sun, it makes you wonder how the bombardment of particles
from digital devices affects us on daily basis.”

Healthy Lifestyle
Changes Diet - Eating a whole-food, plant-based diet (lots of veggies, whole grains, nuts and legumes,
and fruits, while limiting processed and high-sugar foods). Exercise - 45 to 60 minutes a day of brisk activity
(any physical activity that gets you moving and gets your heart rate up is great; the more your clients enjoy the activity,
the more likely they are to continue doing it). Stress reduction and management - 30 to 60 minutes
per day of formal stress management (massage, yoga, tai chi or meditation, for example). Connectedness
- Building and maintaining connectedness and community through whatever means makes sense to you. This can be family,
church, volunteering or, more than likely, a combination of several things.
