Gaia: healing through mindchange - Interesting research findings

We all need recovery from the past

http://MiKaEl.gaia.com — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:46:48 GMT

Researchers are catching up with what we thought long time ago:
that most of modern illness, crime, violence, addictions and other destructive and self-destructive behaviors are caused by our anger and fears based on mistreatment through parents and society.

"Adverse Childhood Experiences" (ACE) the researchers call our traumatic experiences we suffered through child abuse and neglect, and other disrespectful behavior.

Here is a summary of what they could piece together. Check especially the table on page 6 of this report for an overview and links to further resources.

So how do we recover? By letting go of the story, releasing the emotions and their physical manifestations with EFT, forgiving ourselves and everyone involved in the drama, and by raising our consciouness to the point that we realize that it was only our negative attitude which tied us to the past and its suffering.

Not simple, but a way out of dis-ease.

None but ourselves can free our minds

Just came across this post by Brian on research into the connection between positive emotions and healing.

Very inspiring!!!

THE EFFECTS OF EMOTIONS ON HEALTH

Self Healing DNA Discoveries

The omnipotent healing power of visualizing Heaven on Earth, and most importantly, FLOWING WITH FEELINGS of this vision being real, is explained below:

Below are three astonishing experiments with DNA which prove that DNA can heal itself according to the "feelings" of the individual as reported recently by Gregg Braden.

In his recent program entitled Healing Hearts Healing Nations: The Science of Peace and the Power of Prayer, Gregg Braden discussed how in the past we lost huge amounts of information from ancient spiritual traditions (when the library at Alexandria burned we lost at least 532,000 documents), and that
there may be information in those traditions which could help us understand some of the mysteries of science. To this end he reported on three very interesting experiments. Gregg Braden started off as a scientist and engineer, before he began pursuing these larger questions.

EXPERIMENT #1

The first experiment he reported was done by Dr.Vladimir Poponin, a quantumbiologist. In this experiment, first a container was emptied (ie a vacuum was created within it), and then the only thing left in it were photons (particles of light).

They measured the distribution (ie the location) of the photons and found they were completely random inside the container. This was the expected result. Then some DNA was placed inside the container and the distribution (location) of the photons was remeasured. This time the photons were LINED UP in an ORDERED way and aligned with the DNA. In other words the physical DNA had an effect on the non-physical photons.

After that, the DNA was removed from the container, and the distribution of the photons was remeasured again. The photons REMAINED ORDERED and lined up where the DNA ha d been. What are the light particles connected to?

Gregg Braden says we are forced to accept the possibility that some NEW field of energy, a web of energy, is there and the DNA is communicating with the photons through this energy.

EXPERIMENT #2

These were experiments done by the military. Leukocytes (white blood cells) were collected for DNA from donors and placed into chambers so they could be measure electrical changes. In this experiment, the donor was placed in one room and subjected to "emotional stimulation" consisting of video clips, which generated different emotions in the donor. The DNA was placed in a different room in the same building. Both the donor and his DNA were monitored and as the donor exhibited emotional peaks or valleys (measured by electrical responses), the DNA exhibited the IDENTICAL RESPONSES AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. There was no lag time, no transmission time. The DNA peaks and valleys EXACTLY MATCHED the peaks and valleys of the donor in time.

The military wanted to see how far away they could separate the donor from his DNA and still get this effect. They stopped testing after they separated the DNA and the donor by 50 miles and STILL had the SAME result. No lag time; no transmission time.

The DNA and the donor had the same identical responses in time. What can this mean?

Gregg Braden says it means that living cells communicate through a previously unrecognized form of energy. This energy is not affected by time and distance. This is a non-local form of energy, an energy that already exists everywhere, all the time.

EXPERIMENT #3

The third experiment was done by the Institute of Heart Math and the paper that was written about this was titled: Local and Non local Effects of Coherent Heart Frequencies on Conformational Changes of DNA. (Disregard the title! The info is incredible.)

This is the experiment that relates directly to the anthrax situation. In this experiment, some human placenta DNA (the most pristine form of DNA) was placed in a container from which they could measure changes in the DNA. Twenty-eight vials of DNA were given (one each) to 28 trained researchers. Each researcher had been trained how to generate and FEEL feelings, and they each had strong emotions.

What was discovered was that the DNA CHANGED ITS SHAPE according to the feelings of the researchers: 1. When the researchers FELT gratitude, love and appreciation, the DNA responded by RELAXING and the strands unwound. The length of the DNA became longer. 2. When the researchers FELT anger, fear, frustration, or stress, the DNA responded by TIGHTENING UP. It became shorter and SWITCHED OFF many of our DNA codes! If you've ever felt "shut
down" by negative emotions, now you know why your body was equally shut down too. The shut down of the DNA codes was reversed and the codes were switched back on again when feel ings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation were felt by the researchers.

This experiment was later followed up by testing HIV positive patients. They discovered that feelings of love, gratitude and appreciation created 300,000 TIMES the RESISTANCE they had without those feelings. So here's the answer to what can help you stay well, no matter what dreadful virus or bacteria may be floating around. Stay in feelings of joy, love, gratitude and
appreciation!

These emotional changes went beyond the effects of electro-magnetics. Individuals trained in deep love were able to change the shape of their DNA. Gregg Braden says this illustrates a new recognized form of energy that connects all of creation.

This energy appears to be a TIGHTLY WOVEN WEB that connects all matter. Essentially we're able to influence this web of creation through our VIBRATION.

SUMMARY:

What do the results of these experiments have to do with our present situation? This is the science behind how we can choose a timeline to stay safe, no matter what else is happening. As Gregg explains in The Isaiah Effect, basically time is not just linear (past, present and future), but it also has depth. The depth of time consists of all the possible prayers and
timelines that could ever be prayed or exist. Essentially, all our prayers have already been answered. We just activate the one we're living through our FEELINGS. THIS is how we create our reality - by choosing it with our feelings. Our feelings are activating the timeline via the web of creation,which connects all of the energy and matter of the Universe.

Remember that the law of the Universe is that we attract what we focus on. If you are focused on fearing whatever may come, you are sending a strong message to the Universe to send you whatever you fear. Instead if you can
get yourself into feelings of joy, love, appreciation or gratitude, and focus on bringing more of that into your life, you are going to avoid the negative stuff automatically.

You will be choosing a different TIMELINE with your feelings.

You can prevent getting anthrax or any other flu, virus, etc, by staying in these positive feelings, which maintains an incredibly strong immune system.

So here's your protection for whatever comes: Find something to be happy about every day, and every hour if possible, moment-to-moment, even if only for a few minutes. This is the easiest and best protection you can have. If nothing else, be joyous that the criminals have "already been caught" by the
Universe!

The CWWPP, Coalition for Work with Psychotrauma and Peace works in Bosnia trying to help the severely traumatized population.

Here is what they report on the connection between psychotrauma and physical illness
(there are more interetsing links on thier site, but the adresses are somehow difficult to call up for me, so you might want to search their other papers too.)

Research suggests mindfulness for therapy

http://MiKaEl.gaia.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 15:22:28 GMT

Most of us know about the importance of the mind-body connection in medicine and healing, but it often helps to convince ourselves a little bit more when our beliefs get backed by research findings.

This article leads straight from stress to an itroduction to mindfulness meditation.

Hey Mikael - Glad to see this Pod up and running again... Yes, shame is crippling and so often the result of adult addictions. We have an epidemic in the world of the mistreatment of children - cycles of abuse that have been accepted throughout history. It seems we are just beginning to understand how destructive adult behaviors are formed in childhood - it's a massive task and one that I fear may never be surmounted. To address this at a deep level would take each adult/parent to go within and examine thier own shame - not something many would (or even could) be willing to do. I read an article in the Journal of Psychohistory some years ago called The History of Child Abuse by Lloyd DeMause. He talks about this idea of the child as "poison container" - the dumping ground for all of the unresolved conflicts of the adult. I didn't agree with all of his points but it did shed some light on this very complex problem. Thanks for breathing life back tino this Pod....

It seems that those who don't turn to violent or agressive behavior after being shamed in childhood tend to drown their self hate and painful feelings in alcohol or numb themselves with other addictions.

In the chapter "Shame As The Core And Fuel Of All Addiction" recovery specialist John Bradshaw concludes: "The drivenness in any addiction is about the ruptured self, the belief that one is flawed as a person. The content of the addiction, whether it be an ingestive additction or an activity addiction (like work, buying or gambling) is an attempt at an intimate relationship. The workaholic with his work, or the alcoholic with his booze, are having a love affair. Each one mood-alters to avoid the feeling of loneliness and hurt in the underbelly of shame."

Did you know???

Did you know that shame and guilt are the real causes underlying violent or criminal behavior?

In the chapter "Shame and the Death of Self" in his book "Preventing Violence" Harvard researcher James Gilligan writes:

...the basic psychological motive, or cause, of violent behavior is the wish to ward off or eliminate the feeling of shame and humiliation - a feeling that is painful....- and replace it with a feeling of pride." ... "He dissed me," was repeated over and over as the main cause of violating or even killing people.

Emotional trauma, usually in the form of child neglect and abuse, is the cause of this need to ward off shame. About the most violent men Giiligan observed that "they had been subjected to a degree of child abuse that was off the scale of anything I had previously thought of with that term. Many had been beaten nearly to death, raped repeatedly, or prostituted, or neglected to a life threatening degree..."

"And ... those who had not experienced those extreme forms of physical abuse ...had experienced a degree of emotional abuse that had been just as dammaging..."
