Re: Question, What are you thankful for????

Sara, the power of positive emotions and physical health can not be understated. They are completely interwined and inter-related. When you are a fetus developing in your mom's womb, there is a clump of tissue that splits, and half of it becomes your brain, spinal cord and central nervous system and half of it becomes part of your intestines (gut), or your enteric nervous system.

Have you ever heard of the expression "gut reaction", "gut feelings", " butterflies in your stomach"?

Well, it is not fantasy or an old wives tale. At least 80-90% of your immune system is in your gut. Considering your brain and your gut are made of the same cells, all thoughts (emotions) affect your gut (immune system), and stomach problems affect your brain (emotions). The power of postive emotions can not be understated in health. If you don't think you will get better, then you probably won't. If you do believe, then you have a great shot. I am now only beginning to understand this. It is easier said then done, but it is real. Any type of positive energy is very healing.

You have to believe. Tweet
