Emotions are Physiologically Based
Emotions are Physiologically Based
While emotions used to be thought of as only residing in the brain, it is now known that the molecular basis of emotions involve the physiology of 'information substances', which are comprised of neuropeptides, hormones, and other specialized information molecules that permeate the entire body — including our DNA. This dynamic has been well described and validated by Candace Pert, PhD, et. al. Visit http://candacepert.com/library/ for more works by Dr. Pert.
The Homerun Formula
The 'Home Run Formula'
To address the many possible factors that can influence health, we use a Home Run Formula model as a way of generally categorizing areas that may need to be addressed.
1st base - Emotional/stress
2nd base - Toxic influences
3rd base - Nutritional needs
4th base - Physical/structure
We know any problem can include multiple factors from any of the other bases, and it is important to address all factors related to one's health to reach our optimum health potential.
We often start with 1st base (Emotional/stress) and later address 4th base (Physical/structure) when evaluating 'where stress is stored in the clients body'. Of course, 2nd base (Toxic factors) can influence how we think and feel, and 3rd base (Nutrition) is clearly an essential piece for balanced mind and body health. For example, it is well known that Vitamin B can help clients who are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
