THERAPY

How often do you feel like you exude the following qualities; motivation, optimism, enthusiasm, humour, playfulness, sexiness, assertiveness, courage, passion or dynamism? 

Your state is the total of your physical, mental and emotional being. People often think that a state is emotional, but there is a physical reality to states of being. For example, if you think about the states of fear, joy, anger or happiness, you could easily label the emotion by the way it affects your physiology. You can easily tell when a person is full of joy and happiness, frightened or angry. 

Your mitochondria play a role in the biochemistry of your emotions. Previously, there has been a misconception that your communications, thought processes and emotions all come from the brain as we understand it. However, new evidence is emerging from the world of neuroscience that both your heart and your gut (which are packed with mitochondria and millions of neurons) have nervous systems. They also have communication systems called neurotransmitters. These are the body’s chemical messengers, whose role is to distribute information throughout our whole system. This information determines both our mood and temperament.

These major breakthroughs in understanding show that self-care at a mitochondrial level through optimum nutrition, exercise and breath-work will significantly benefit your mental, emotional and neurological systems. This offers enormous potential for your health and well-being. Also, finding the right psychological method (whether it be coaching, therapy, self –help practices for positive thinking, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, counselling or thought field therapy) will help with personal growth, self-development and greater emotional balance.
