What Controls Your Vibration?
by Lisa T.
According to the studies I’ve read and the work done in the lab, what we know as facts about the body is that there is nothing outside of the body that is more powerful than what is inherently in the body naturally. Inside of you is your blood and all of your cells. Your cells absorb every thought and feeling you have on every level. All the work of Candace Pert, Ph.D., neuroscientist proved it and I blogged about it […]

why is one shoulder or hip higher than the other?
by Lisa T.
Answer; because the muscle is shortened and raises up the joint. The muscles control all of your bones and joints and dominate your body. In order to have healthy bones, you have to treat the muscles and deep tissue FIRST. It’s an anatomical fact. That is also why the M.D.’s will tell you that weight-bearing workout, keeping your muscles strong over time is what keeps your bones strong. They don’t say, “Keep your bones strong and your muscles will […]

Written by Dr. Perry, PhD Image Credit: Pixabay “The end of confession is, to tell the truth to and for oneself.” ~J. M.

my bones hurt
by Lisa T.
It’s not likely. What do we know about the bones? As far as they know, bones have no nerve innervation meaning the nerves are a soft tissue that does not go through bone tissue. What hurts is the soft tissue (muscle, ligament, and tendon) which is the cause of almost all pain in the body. Since muscle makes up the majority of soft tissue in the body and is innervated by nerves, most pain is caused by muscle adhesions and […]

Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion” Chapter 13, Truth
by Lisa T.
This book was written in 1997 but 22 years later, there is still an ongoing materialistic tendency among holistic practitioners and adherents. It’s mainly projected at food but includes expensive supplements, vitamins, lotions, herbals, wraps and more. I believe much of it is unnecessary. The first part of Chapter 13 is very materialist focused as Dr. Pert is attending a Wellness conference where panelists are not all-together holistic. I’ve been mulling this issue over for ten years now and have […]

Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion”, Chapter 12-Bodymind
by Lisa T.
This will be a perfect segue into the next subject matter; morphic resonance; a phenomenon discovered by the work of Rupert Sheldrake. Dr. Pert talks about it as well at the end of this book. I have one more post on Chapter 13 for tomorrow and then we’re done. “Information is not dependent on time or space, as is matter and energy, but exists regardless of these limits! If information exists outside of the confines of time and space, […]

Body Truth; “Molecules of Emotion” Chapter 11-A New Crowd
by Lisa T.
It’s time to finish up Chapter 11 and Dr. Pert’s life has completely changed. She’s in a “labless existence” as she puts it. Being in healthcare myself, I can’t imagine being without my office where I treat my patients. I’d be lost without it! In 1991, she met Deepak Chopra, MD who is still sort of a rock star in the field of leading-edge holistic medicine, similar to Andrew Weil, MD. They “get it” on an energy level and use […]

Body Truth; Activating the 12 Chakra System
by Lisa T.
I work with the immaterial energy centers of the body all the time in my office while I’m doing Reiki. My patients can feel it because I’m working with Qi or Ki. In addition, my pendulum can pick up the direction of their spin very easily but I don’t use it much anymore. My hands can feel it. I only use it when a patient needs to see how their energy is affecting something they can see; the pendulum. Chakra means […]
