	Emotional Needs *What is Emotion?* The brain develops in very specific stages after conception. The lower or "primitive" brain develops first and is fully functional by two or three months after birth. It controls the functions of breathing, heart rate, circulation, digestion, temperature control, etc. The mid-brain develops next and is fully functioning by seven months after birth. Its function is to integrate all the signals from the entire body and then perceive which are life threatening or harmful and which are beneficial and pleasant. This is where the perception switch or hypothalamus is located. The Hypothalamus acts like a central train station for a large city, receiving all the incoming trains and their goods, and redirecting them based upon the needs of the city and its inhabitants. If danger or threat is perceived, then a "fight or flight response is initiated thru the chemicals released. This throws the body into a state of protection and fear. If calm or safety is perceived, then chemicals are released which cause a state of harmony or integration. These messages are sorted for priority and then sent to files where the long-term memory is stored. Other related signals like smells, people, noises, etc. are attached to these memories as related factors. The lower and mid-brain function at the subconscious level and have the ability to process 400 billion bits of information per second. The upper brain forms next, yet is not completely functioning until the child is about six years old. This is when conscious awareness, reason, logical thinking, problem solving, creativity, etc. are brought into play. When signals are strong enough or a high enough priority to the mid- brain, or we are consciously focused on them, they are stored in the short term memory which is only 20 seconds, then transferred to the long term memory files. The amount and intensity of the emotion attached to the memory determines whether it is stored in long-term memory or not. Our conscious mind only has the ability to process 2 thousand bits of information per second. If our conscious mind has learned a fear response to a certain stimulus and it is in our long-term subconscious memory, then when some trigger happens, we can be into a fear stress response before we even consciously are aware of the perceived danger. This happens at the 4 billion-bit capabilities and for our conscious mind to then take control at its 2 thousand bit level is akin to someone standing in front of a tidal wave and spitting into it trying to stop its onward progress. When in an optimal central integrative state the brain thru our nervous system, and the mind thru our energy system, perceives that all of the body is balanced and in harmony. We then release chemicals like endorphins, which communicate an instant feeling of well being and harmony to all the cells in the body. These are the days when you wake up and feel like a million dollars. Everything is great and you feel like you're on top of your game. It all clicks and your mind is sharp and quick. There is joy and happiness and a sense of deep well being. How long had it been since you had this feeling? Using the Erchonia cold laser your practitioner can identify which areas of your brain and nervous system are out of balance and then correct that imbalance with this low level laser. Left and right brain disorders can cause many conditions such as attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and many learning disabilities. These conditions can be helped with these techniques. *Specific Life Style Adjustments and Preventative care* Most important in lifestyle is how we take care of our stress levels and our emotional balance. Along with the other lifestyle factors we need to find time each day to quiet our mind and bodies to focus on peaceful or joyful thought patterns. This allows us to shift out of the fight and flight stress pattern of modern life and allows a harmonious integration of our nervous system. This is much better than using coffee, drugs or caffeine to temporarily whip the adrenals to attention. This doesn't have to take long as you get proficient at it. Moments can be very powerful. DSF will give incredible nutritional support along with the emotional techniques your wellness guide will use with you. Harvard Medical School and many medical researches are showing that people with belief systems which allow for a greater purpose in life than just survival or self directed activities have better health emotionally and physically. Having a reason to live, which involves serving others with compassion creates purpose and passion in our lives. This releases chemicals in our brain that creates the state we call joy. Taking responsibility for our emotions and choosing to control our reactions to the stress in our life is the best medicine and prevention. Many studies show that daily mild exercise works as well or better than antidepressants. Total Brain or 5-HTP may be very helpful for brain balance. *Specific Exercises* Your Wellness practitioner can identify a positive emotion from the color therapy chart to anchor your cleared state. You can use that word or phrase as an exercise or to switch you out of a negative emotional reflex response. Sound therapy may also be very helpful. Couples Integration is a most powerful tool in helping families to harmonize. Deep breathing techniques are very powerful to help you control your autonomic nervous system response and control stress, which is why meditation and other stress reduction methods use breathing so much. It is one of the few automatic body functions, which we can consciously control. *Specific Supplements* In addition to a well balanced diet your practitioner may recommend specific nutrition to help balance your emotions such as: Total 5HTP Total Brain, etc. They may also use homeopathic remedies, which shift the energies in our tissues and cells allowing us to better deal with stress. Whole system EEP also helps to balance the whole emotional energy of the body. Educational Books Feelings Buried Alive Never Die Karol K.
