For some it is a simple matter of mapping the body. Anger is here and over there we have the fear of abandonment section. Sometimes I have seen it work that way, but I work with trauma, as a Trauma Touch Therapist, and trauma doesn't seem to want to follow the rules. ANYthing can be stored ANYwhere. I am sure no one would argue that, but it is what I am looking at. I guess I am interested in what is being learned and studied and experienced. (Nothing beats a good firsthand account.)

Guest guest Posted April 9, 1999 Report Share Posted April 9, 1999 Hi Everyone: We are getting a little larger every day, and it would be interesting to see/hear why the folks that are on board are interested in this discussion topic. I am personally a nurse who has been heavilly involved in holistic healing, most specifically energy work such as Healing Touch and Reiki, for about 10 years. I have also been active in studying shamanism, both with Native American people and with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies for nearly a decade, also. In my studies, several books stood out, and probably the one with the most early influence was Louise Hay's " little blue book " (Heal Your Body). My dogeared copy has helped me work through many personal issues in healing, and helped me refocus the work I have been doing with my clients. A few years ago I supplemented that with Debbie Shapiro's book, " Bodymind Workbook " , and then a dear friend gave me a copy of Ken Dychtwald's " Bodymind " . The correlations they all draw between disease and dysfunction in a certain area of the body, and emotional/mental attitudes is remarkably right on, or at least it has been for me. I have also combed a lot of books about chakras (energy centers) to study the correlations with disease and dysfunction, and although it seems like there are some contradictions from source to source, they have been pretty useful, too. Probably my favorite example from Louise Hay is what she says about Urinary Tract Infections... that they are due to being " p'd off " <LOL> In other words, angry and unable to release it, and it is irritating. 'Nuff about my history, how about some others? What interests you about the body-mind connection?

Hello Everyone, Some of you may know me already, but for the those who don't, I'd like to introduce myself and at the same time, answer Carolines' question about the mind/body connection. I'm 51 years old, live in a beautiful rural, mountainous area of N.E. Ga., have been practicing the art of massage for 16 years. I am a Reiki Master (thanks to our very own Caroline Abreu and her husband Manny) and have recently extended my use of Energywork to include Heal- ing Touch, as taught by Caroline at a weekend workshop in January...a most memorable experience. Most of what I've learned over the years seems to have a common theme....that of mind-body connection. I'm a big fan of Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Shakti Gawain and most recently, Christiane Northrup, whose book, " Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom has inspired me to continue on with my work in self healing. I'd like to quote a passage from her book: " Our thoughts, emotions and brain communicate directly with our immune, nervous, and endocrine systems and with the organs of our bodies. More- over,although these bodily systems are conventionally studied and view- ed as separate, they are, in fact, aspects of the same system! If the uterus, ovaries, white blood cells and the heart all make the same chemicals as the brain makes when it thinks, where in the body is the mind? The answer is, The mind is located throughout the body. " I am really enjoying the topics of discussion thus far on this list. Hypnosis, regression, and reading short bio's on some of the listees makes for an interesting and informative group, one I am glad to be a part of, and count on to expand my wisdom and develop new friendships. Thanks for your continued efforts related to Bodymind, Caro. Hugs to all, Barbara Kimsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Hi Even though specific emotions tend to affect a particular organ, the emotion can be accessed via any cell in the body, because the neuropeptide system can communicate with any cell in the body. So you don't have to massage the heart to elicit anger. And of course the mind and thought can be used to communicate with any part of the body...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thank you. I have noticed the trauma seems to be stored in organ systems, rather than simply this or the other organ... Exposing the emotions associated with it, however, is a nother matter entirely... , " Abby Eagle " <abbyeagle@r...> wrote: > Hi > > Even though specific emotions tend to affect a particular organ, the emotion > can be accessed via any cell in the body, because the neuropeptide system > can communicate with any cell in the body.
