Change = laxity = release: An inbuilt opportunity for healing

Those of us in the UK already realise that, whilst we had a significant late summer heatwave last week, its well-and-truly over this week, thus we are back into the usual wet and much cooler autumn weather. It’s the time of year, similar to spring, where sudden changes in the weather are par for the course and can be one of the most challenging for anyone living with chronic pain. My body has…

"Your mind is in every cell of your body." —Candace Pert

Emotions. The neuropeptides and receptors, the biochemicals of emotion, are, as I have said, the messengers carrying information to link the major systems of the body into one unit that we can call the bodymind. We can no longer think of the emotions as having less validity than physical, material substance, but instead must see them as cellular signals that are involved in the process of translating information into physical reality, literally transforming mind into matter. Emotions are at the nexus between matter and mind, going back and forth between the two and influencing both.

Candace B. Pert, Molecules of Emotion

Experiments show that the hippocampus area of the brain [part of the limbic system] is the access or gateway into the whole emotional experience. Almost every variety of peptide receptor is found in the hippocampus. Through the peptide network, which is anything that has peptide receptors on it, you can access different memories, mood states or developmental stages. Strong emotions are the key variable that make us bother to remember things. There is a lot of evidence that memory occurs at the point of synapse, there are changes that take place in the receptors. The sensitivity of the receptors are part of memory and pattern storage. But the peptide network expends beyond the hippocampus, to organs, tissue, skin, muscle and endocrine glands. They all have peptides receptors on them and can access and store emotional information. This means this emotional memory is stored in many places in the body, not just the brain. The autonomic nervous system is pivotal to this entire understanding. Its importance is much more subtle than has been thought. Every peptide that I have every mapped and more can be found in the autonomic nervous system. There is an emotional coding to the way our autonomic patterns are elaborated.

The Way Back From Fear...

The Way Back From Fear…

Like many issues we face these days, Covid seems to have driven people into two camps. On one hand there are those who regard any any public socialising as irresponsible and for whom opening schools could potentially set off a deadly ‘second wave’. For those on the other side, the whole lockdown was an unjustified attempt to control the population by sinister…

Τι δουλειά έχουν οι γυναίκες στις επιστήμες; (Μέρος Β΄)

Τι δουλειά έχουν οι γυναίκες στις επιστήμες; (Μέρος Β΄)

—του Γιώργου Θεοχάρη—

Στο προηγούμενο ποστείχαμε δει τις περιπτώσεις 8 γυναικών που αδικήθηκαν η καθεμία τους στον επιστημονικό της τομέα κατά τους τελευταίους δύο αιώνες. Στο δεύτερο και τελευταίο μέρος, θα δούμε τις περιπτώσεις άλλων 8 γυναικών, ομοίως αδικημένων. Η αναφορά σε αυτές τις 16 αξιοθαύμαστες γυναίκες δεν γίνεται για την αποκατάσταση της επιστημονικής τους οντότητας: αυτό έχει ήδη…
