Its all in the mind!
When I was growing up and someone said an illness was all in the mind it was seen as negative, that you were faking it and therefore it wasn’t real. Times have changed and now the leading edge research in science and health is discovering that in fact the body and mind are inextricably linked and cannot be separated. That when we think we produce chemicals that are released into our blood stream and our body responds.
Each of us has over 50 trillion cells in our body all working together in harmony. Every one of these cells is paying attention and responding to the environment they are in. Scientists say we have a built-in pharmacy within us that can produce and deliver targeted chemicals exactly where they are required in the body. As Deepak Chopra MD says – to think therefore is to do brain chemistry.
Forward thinking health care professionals are now looking at how to bring this new research into their practices. There is a growing realisation that optimum health and well being is more than just taking a pill or doing surgery and that taking an integrated approach that encompassed the mental, emotional and physical aspects of an individual is much more powerful.
