Did you realise what you think can actually change how your body works?
Thoughts can:
- Increase or decrease your blood pressure. Have your noticed when you have your blood pressure taken at your GP, that the thought of having it taken can be enough to make it rise? They even have a term for this White coat blood pressure. That's why you may be given a 24hours blood pressure test to do at home.
- Increase or decrease your pulse rate
- Worry can change a person's pH from alkaline to acidic. This is important for your health, put also effect your fertility. A vaginal pH of between 6.5-7.5 if healthy (and this will simply be a reflection of your body's pH). When our vaginal pH becomes more acidic, sperm will be killed on contact.
- a new measuring instrument called a S.Q.U.I.D. machine, can measure electrical activity of our organs. It was found when a person was in a state of graditute, their heart field extended to approximately 2metres around them!
- Inthe book The Hidden Message', it was found the structure of water could be significantly effected by thought alone.
- Stress decreases our gut, reproductive and immune function. When you are in a stressed state, your body is geared to fight or run. This state has nothing to do with health, and everything to do with survival. So, in order to survive, energy and attention is redirected fromour non-essential functions, to those that keep us alive. This includes emotional and mental stress, ie what we think.
Don't mislead yourself into believing your are only a physical entity, or that what goes on inside your head doesn't matter It may be more critical than anything else you do (or think!)
