The Brain/Body Connection

I am fascinated by how versatile we are in terms of ways to get better.

We can improve our wellbeing by working with the physical body, through exercise, massage, touch; can improve the biochemical body through unprocessed organically grown foods and herbs, clean water, natural spring water; can improve our mental body through education, mentoring, reading, meditation; can improve our emotional body through visualization, guided journeys, meridian tapping, kinesiology, and a myriad of natural therapy approaches.

And yet it is what we think, based on what we believe, that is in our control moment to moment every day.  What we think has a massive impact on every cell in our body.  And it’s cumulative over the years.

We know that the mind and body are like parallel universes.  Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one.”

PET (positron-emission tomography) was used to scan of the brain and track tagged glucose injected into the blood stream to give three dimensional picture of thoughts.

“Watching … while the brain thinks, scientists saw that each distinct event in the universe of mind – such as a sensation of pain or a strong memory – triggers a new chemical pattern in the brain, not just at a single site but at several.  The (PET) image looks different for every thought, and if one could extend the portrait to be full-length, there is no doubt that the whole body changes at the same time, thanks to the cascades of neuro-transmitters and related messenger molecules.”

“As you see it right now your body is the physical picture in 3-D of what you are thinking. … the whole body quite obviously projects thoughts. We literally read other people’s minds from the constant play of their facial expressions; without marking it, we also register the thousand fold gestures of body language as a sign of their moods and intentions toward us.”

“… many physical changes that thinking causes are unnoticeable.  They involve minute alterations of cell chemistry, body temperature, electrical charge, blood pressure and so on… the body is fluid enough to mirror any mental event.  Nothing can move without moving the whole.”

What that all means is every thought has repercussions as a chemical change throughout the brain and body along with a change in electrical activity among others.

“… each distinct event … triggers a new chemical pattern in the brain … the (PET) image looks different for every thought … your body is the physical picture in 3-D of what your are thinking … the whole body quite obviously projects thoughts…”

Wow!  Scientists proved this years ago.   I‘ve just quoted Deepak Chopra from his book Quantum Healing published back in 1989, pages 69 and 71.  It’s worth reading the whole book for much more research and acknowledgement about how we tick.

Other scientific research since then has continued to back up what we in natural therapies have known and honoured in our work for years by drawing on ancient wisdom from many cultures – that we are holistic multi-dimentional beings – physical, biochemical, mental, emotional, energetic, social, spiritual beings, and that whatever happens on one level will effect every other level too.

If you want to learn how to read the body language and facial expressions, ask a woman.  It’s scientifically proven females do it better, although Allan Pease did it very well, and with great entertainment value, on his TV show years ago.  And his books are very educational too.

If you want to know what each feature of the face indicates in terms of innate preferences, do the workshops from Three In One Concepts that focus on Structure/Function, the science of how you are structured to function.  These will provide insight to when and how beliefs were formed that trip us up in our emotional realm, and make it difficult to recognize the innate strengths that are ours to engage in our life journey.

The Three In One Concepts workshops open the view to the life were meant to lead the life that would engage your innate capacities.  I invite you to begin the journey through Three In One Concepts workshops, starting with Tools of the Trade, and find the original you and your structure that shows the way to find fulfillment.

Contact me for dates.
