What’s the earliest memory you have? Is it a positive memory from early childhood? Something that makes you beam with delight upon recall? Or is it something you would really rather forget? Regardless of the amount of recall you have, whether you were age two or maybe even younger your memories are all there, stored in your brain–and your cells. Yes, it’s true memories are stored at the cellular level, not just in our brains.
“At the cell level everything electrical and biological is linked through our energy. Every thought, word, and deed has a physiological correlation, a cellular response to impulses that gets stored in the cell as a memory and is supported by its own particular chemistry. This has been discovered through bodywork like massage and healing modalities that release energy, our stress and painful history, is stored in the muscles of our body. Every experience from our infancy is coded in the cell,” says Dr. Carlos.
This is part of why addictions and compulsive behaviors like eating disorders are so difficult to treat. To provide treatment with counseling and medication without the aid of bodywork doesn’t stimulate the release of painful emotional memories and patterns that are stored in the body. Our bodies store energy associated with these memories and they create energy blocks. In order to fully recover from the disorder or addiction the energy and beliefs that no longer serve us must be released.
After releasing these energy blocks and reprogramming our brains we can create new connections and patterns. By doing this we can enable healing at the cellular level. This results in a deeper, quantum leap in releasing the past and living a peaceful balanced life free from obsession and addiction.
Dr. Joe Dispenza, has done some incredible research on the human brain and our ability to “rewire” our brains and change our outlook and results in life. Through our thoughts we can change the wiring and teach the brain to fire with different neurons. Dr. Dispensza says:
- “The brain — 100 million neurons firing in infinite patterns
- The patterns come from neurons that are wired together and fire together
- The mind is the brain in action — mind is what the brain does
- Change your mind, change your brain — change your brain, change your mind
- The biology of change — nerve cells that no longer fire together no longer wire together
- Neuroplasty –- our brains ability to change its synaptic wiring”
This is where the mind-body connection comes in. We have the ability to change our thoughts, make new synaptic connections and affect our environment just by how we think about it.
In the movie What The Bleep Do We Know?! Marlee Matlin’s character Amanda saw an experiment performed by Dr. Masaru Emoto showing the effect words and thoughts have on water. The molecules of water were viewed under a microscope. Then the molecules were viewed again after being exposed to loving words or negative words (taped on the container). The water exposed to loving words showed brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. But the water exposed to pollution and negative thoughts form incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.
Every thought affects the outcome you get in life. What you focus on (your thoughts, what you talk about, what you worry about, what you look for, expect or look forward to) is what you manifest. If you spend all of your time obsessed with what you see in the mirror and the hatred you have for your body…you will continue to see a body you hate. If you spend all your time beating yourself up for drinking too much, eating too much, or being a couch potato….these behaviors won’t change because you’re focusing on them with strong emotions (hatred, anger). If instead you spend 10 minutes every day and focus on what your life would be like and feel like–if you loved and accepted yourself (and your body) you will begin to attract different outcomes. Don’t just visualize, feel the joy and excitement of your new life, the energy you have, the happiness that abounds, the relationships you have with people…use strong positive emotions to make it feel real, like you’re living it today.
