I'm currently reading the book Mindsight by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, UCLA professor who specializes in integrating different aspects of mindfulness training into his psychotherapy practice. He's been finding that the physical brain, both its structure and its chemistry, can be healed even of conditions that are genetically based. It's an accessible and encouraging book.
In other sources I've read that there are cellular connections between the brain and the heart and the stomach. Though we talk about thoughts and emotions and sensations, I think these distinctions are coming to be understood as perhaps less real or useful then we once thought they were. ________________________________ From: Jason <jedi_sp...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 12, 2012 7:19 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: TM trivia --- "card" <cardemaister@...> wrote: > > > When does the nervous system lose its ability to experience > happiness? > It's the brain that experiences happiness. It's an emotion. The nervous system only transmits pleasure which is a sensation.
