Neuro-Emotional Technique:
People used to think that emotions resided entirely in their brain. We now know that other parts of the body can hold emotions too. Ever felt butterflies in your stomach before a public speaking engagement, referred to something as a “pain in the neck”, or felt a “lump in your throat”? Clearly, emotions happen in our body, not just our brain. It is now understood by scientists that emotions change the way our individual cells divide and reproduce.
The relationship between negative emotions and chronic illness has become a scientific fact. Positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes. Health and wellness depends on positive thinking. In order to obtain true happiness, one has to clear out the garbage stored in the memory of each cell in the body. The time has come to take out the garbage and switch the less positive thought processes into spectacular ones!
The first step is to remove any blockages which prevent happy feelings from emerging in one’s life. Many people have a difficult time letting go of past events, and this prevents them from co-creating positive solutions. It is not enough to just “think happy thoughts” if someone’s brain has been chemically trained for years that feeling good is a fantasy state. For those who believe that they have a better chance of meeting the tooth fairy than attaining true happiness, here is some insight.
Negatively charged emotions are habit forming and addictive! Negative people are not born that way, they become negative after years of unresolved frustration. When the body fails to “let go” of feelings of dread people begin to exhibit unwanted habits. They can find themselves developing unexplained aversions, self-sabotaging behaviors, destructive beliefs, phobias and many chronic physical problems! Because most people tend to repeat the same behaviors, the physical body begins to “learn” to become chemically addicted to negative emotions. This is a specific example of the “body-mind” connection at work.
We rarely see the link between past events and our current state of mind. What causes us to pick fights with family members, experience road rage, cry when a sad song comes on the radio is a portion of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system is the “emotional brain”, and it does not have the ability to be “rational.”
Consider the following example, you are at a restaurant with your spouse when he or she steals one of the french fries from your plate, you are out-raged by their action and you over-react to the otherwise harmless act of unexpressed food sharing. NET can help identify the unresolved real (or imagined) event that occurred when your older brother stole your toy truck when you were only 5 years old.
The limbic brain has no concept of time, it does not know the difference between the fight you are having with your spouse today, and the time your older brother stole your toy that Christmas in 1965. The corresponding body physiology is exactly the same for both events!
The body-mind connection is regulated by an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus connects the emotional mind (limbic system) with each cell of the physical body by using a common language, the hormonal system. Under stressful conditions “dismal hormones” become released into the blood stream. If the stress is prolonged, the hypothalamus starts to malfunction. When this occurs, emotions start to become “stuck”, rather than released and forgotten naturally. Consciously our thinking and reasoning brain may have lost touch with the event, but our limbic brain remembers and stores every emotional event.
People who are constantly stressed out have less receptor sites for “happy hormones.” This is a progressive cellular process, as more receptor sites are created for “feelings of dread or dismay”, old stress compounds with newer stressful events, and our physical bodies begin to break down with this progression. All of this occurs without our rational brain’s awareness, so trying hard to “think positively” may not be successful, especially if there is an underlying condition which is allowed to progress. It is not difficult to see how babies who are born happy can end up becoming less than cheerful adults.
How Does Neuro-Emotional Technique Work?
NEURO-EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET) is process which helps you to let go of “stuck” emotional patterns that may be overloading your hypothalamus and thereby prevent your physical well-being. NET is based on a proven combination of the latest scientific research and centuries-old techniques used in Eastern healing. The procedure is fun, and light-hearted. Patients report a marked reduction in anxiety following an NET session.
NET is a chiropractic technique which accesses the hypothalamus through the limbic system. By resetting the hypothalamus your relationship to stress changes and feelings of dread diminish. Ultimately this leads to enhanced physiology and a new outlook on life, for good!
By acknowledging the relationship between the body’s emotional health, environmental toxicity, nutritional balance and structural integrity, appreciative patients around the world enjoy better health and well-being.
