Your Body/Brain Connection

Flick your Switch!

Without electricity, you wouldn't be reading this article right now.  And it's not because your computer wouldn't work.  It's because your brain wouldn't work.


Did you know everything you do is controlled by subtle electrical signals running through your body?  It’s true - you are a hairy, watery bag of electricity!   If the electrical activity in your body stopped, you would not survive.

HOW IT WORKS

  
Tiny electrical charges move from cell to cell almost instantaneously, communicating important information for your health.    It’s sort of like the digital cable signal carrying 1's and 0’s that delivers your favourite TV show, except in our bodies electrons aren’t flowing along a wire.  Instead electrical charge is jumping from one cell to the next.    These charges are responsible for controlling the rhythm of your heartbeat, the movement of blood around your body, and much more.

Wouldn’t it be great if you had a “body electrician”?  Someone who could help you maximize your subtle body-electricity to energize your muscles.  Someone who could help you have greater strength and flexibility and feel less tension and pain.   There are such people!  They’re called Muscle Tuner™Specialists.

Muscle Tuner™Specialists have a toolbox full of techniques for making muscles behave better than they otherwise would.   Muscle Tuning is sort of like tuning a musical instrument…but for muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.    The key is switching on your electrical body-brain connections.  A  Muscle Tuner™Specialist listens to your body, finds where you’re playing out of tune, and brings you back into balance so your whole “body orchestra” is playing together again.

FREE!  ENERGY BOOST 5  TIP SERIES

Muscle Tuners International generously shares their “Energy Boost 5 Tip Series”  FREE of charge.  These general techniques will help you be your own “body electrician” by switching on your electrical body-brain connection.

ARE YOU UP FOR IT?  TAKE THE ENERGY BOOST 5 CHALLENGE!

Here's How:

1.  Rate yourself.  Using a scale of 1 - 10, rate how you feel mentally, physically and emotionally (10 means you feel great).    Mental and emotional rating is subjective by nature.  To add some objective measurement to your challenge, rate the physical aspect by noting any aches/pains you have,  also bend forward/sideways and note how far you can reach and if anything hurts while you’re doing it.

2.  Download the 5 FREE tips here

3.  Do each technique every day for 7 days.  This will take only a few minutes each day.

4.  Re-rate yourself.  Use the same 1 - 10 scale, noting mental, emotional and physical changes (be sure to repeat the physical stretches).   Compare these to your original ratings and be amazed!

5.  Post a comment and let us know how you did.

Sleep Deprived?

Are you sleep deprived? You’re not alone. It's estimated that one in three people are. Regardless of the cause, the result is the same - you’re feeling sluggish and uninspired. If you want to get your mojo back, keep reading

Think about this - from the moment you were conceived the energy that became your body knew exactly what to do to develop and grow. You went from a tiny collection of cells to a fully functioning adult without any conscious thought or direction on your part. 

Your body has never lost the ability to know exactly what to do. And it uses those same mechanisms it used for growth and development to maintain your health by always seeking balance and new energy. This process is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is your body’s way of continually reorganizing itself to stay healthy. How amazing is that!

When does all this reorganizing take place? During restorative sleep. Your body needs to be deeply still for these natural mechanisms to do their work. If your sleep is being interrupted by your internal environment (insomnia, menopause, shift work) or external environment (noise, light, kids) your body is not getting the opportunity it needs to heal itself.   This is where the phenomenon of biodynamic craniosacral touch comes to the rescue. 

Gentle.   Soul Based.   Profound.

The special type of touch received during a biodynamic craniosacral session invokes stillness, taking your body out of fight/flight mode and calming your central nervous system. Even though a craniosacral session lasts only an hour, to your body it’s like having a long, deep, restorative sleep. 

Take advantage of this incredibly effective approach to holistic wellness - and get your mojo back!

Little Steps

Our bodies are AMAZING!  

How to restore balance?

Two little steps to get you started:

Learn Qi Gong

                                       

What is Qi Gong?

Qi Gong is part of an ancient Chinese exercise and healing system.   "Qi" roughly translates to vital energy, information, breath or spirit.  "Gong" means work, cultivation or mastery.   Qi Gong is therefore sometimes translated as "energy work", "vital energy cultivation" or "mastery of your energy." 

When you practice the slow, mindful physical movements of Qi Gong you're training to have more resiliency, balance, flexibility, focus and awareness by bringing qi into the muscles, bones and tendons through specifically designed routines.   Qi Gong is also a highly effective way to lessen the effects of aging and manage your stress.  

Benefits of Qi Gong

 

Research reported through the National Institute of Health has concluded Qi Gong provides consistent and significant health benefits related to:

• bone density
• cardiopulmonary effects
• physical function
• falls and related risk factors
• psychological symptoms
• immune function

Your DNA is NOT your destiny!

 

GOOD NEWS!

 

YOU can influence your genes

Genetically speaking, we used to think information flowed in only one direction - from our DNA to our genes.   And since our DNA doesn't change, we were stuck with what we inherited.     


 BUT

Through epigenetics (the study of what influences the flow of information between your DNA and your genes), we now know our genes can be activated and deactivated not only by our DNA, but also by signals directly from our environment.   This means our DNA is NOT our destiny!  We can turn ON the genes of health and longevity and turn OFF the genes of cell decay and death!

 Many things influence how genes are expressed or suppressed:

The wellness services I provide fall under the "alternative medicine" category on the above chart.  And while it's only 1 of the 12 ways to positively influence your genes, it's a safe, easy, and cost effective approach.

So relax with a biodynamic craniosacral session, have your muscles tuned up, or balance your energy with reiki.  And know you're doing your body good!
