Our minds reflect our actions!
​
We have the POWER!
We can change our minds!
Believe In Yourself!
If you can’t believe in yourself,
What can you believe in?
Faith, Hope, Confidents, Courage,
All run hand in hand!
How smart or stupid we think we are
How pretty or ugly we think we are
Has an effect on how we think
Because they change the way we think.

Everything about you and me - about our life and how we live - all start in the brain. Understanding how the brain works and the complexity of the brain systems will give you an understanding of what accrues during your life cycle. This understanding will give us the pathway to know that we can change the outcome of our life.
The structure of molecules that make up the brain are the building blocks of genetics. The core components are the brain, spinal cord and central nervous system. ‘Brain Circuits’, i.e. the nerve cell neurons, when electrically excited, process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals linked together in organized pathways, each with a specific function.
Massive brain areas working together to conduct major tasks, such as learning, emotions, and movement.
Specialized types of neurons include sensory neurons which respond to touch, sound, and light. Other stimuli affecting the cells of the sensory organs then send signals to the spinal cord and brain. The motor neurons that receive signals from the brain and spinal cord, cause muscle contractions and affect glandular outputs. These connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord within the neural network.
Your brain is constantly growing and changing. Everything you do changes your brain and the way you think. You are a sponge!
Part of everything you come in contact with be it inhaled, ingested, touched, seen, or heard is absorbed. Things can change your body and brain chemistry. When foreign substance are introduced the natural flow of order is disrupted. Your brain detects this and will try to make adjustments your Immune System . Some intrusions are necessary (see also "Food for Thought")
Whenever we are in pain, we look for ways to eliminate that pain. Whenever something seems out of balance, we look for ways to reset that balance. If you stub your little toe, your brain knows it.
Pain is the body's warning system! Direct damage to the head and nervous system will disrupt the natural flow of communication. This in turn sets off a chain reaction of other body functions and body chemistries. The brain takes the information about the pain and signals other parts of the body to go into action to combat the pain.
An interruption in the communication path from toe to brain, like a severed or pinched nerve or a chemical imbalance, then the brain can’t know the toe is in pain. The same principle works if an infection sets into the toe.
In this fast pace world we live in, our bodies are in overdrive. We don’t give our bodies the proper time to adjust and we don’t allow our natural brain and body functions to take effect. We don’t eat right, we don’t sleep right.
The presynaptic component - comes from the axon. The presynaptic neuron, releasing information in the form of chemicals, diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the post synaptic neuron. This chemical information gets converted into electric information, allowing it to communicate with another neurons down the line. The Synapses is the gap between neurons where cocktails of chemicals flow, connected in complex ways. The sight of communication between the neurons and the brain.
Synapses can have little brains of their own - expressing RNA and translating RNA into proteins. They have their own little machinery controlling the number of receptors on the cell surface and how they respond.
Cellular and physiological phenotypic trait variations caused by external or environmental factors can switch genes on and off and affect how the cells read genes instead of being caused by changes in the DNA sequence.
Epigenetics – the control of expression of the deferent genes – changes in every cell as it changes through development. Impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body via the communication between asternal branches and dendrites, the short branched extension of a nerve cell.
This section, on the Brain & Body is only to give an understanding of the complexities. To understand the Electrical Chemical balances and to show that the slightest disruption of the balance can cause what may seem catastrophic.
The brain
the body
Pain and infections are the bodies way of saying; “Slow down, I can’t keep up!”. Instead of slowing down we take medications to speed up the production of needed relief, the body chemistry gets altered. The brain decides to overdoses the system and or change it’s inhibitors. It might decide it doesn’t need to produce a chemical and shuts down. Then when you need it, your body doesn't make it, so now you have to go find it. Sometimes we exaggerate our troubles; some times we do need help!
Phantom sensations are just as real as physical pain. A phantom sensation can be any sensation you think you feel - it can be an itch, even a numbness. A person that lost an extremity will sometimes still have a sensation in that area because the brain is still sending out signals saying something is out of balance in that area. Although the nerve to that point has been severed, the nerve ending still relates to that point as if it was still there.
