We do not remember days; we remember moments.  ~Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand


It is the moment, the word, the look, the aroma, the sensation that affects us.  Etched into our subconscious mind.  Many moments are life changing..although at that moment you have no idea the affect it will have on your future self..some moments are kind, others not so much.. You have the power to release the moments that have affected you in a negative way through forgiveness.  Unconditional forgiveness…this is for you…no one but you.

Molecules of Emotion/ Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d

      My original intent was to write about what I have learned from reading the book "Molecules of Emotion" by Candace Pert, Ph.D, but now I find myself reading her most recent book "Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d.  This is a fascinating read.  An accomplished, respected scientist who has made the connection between the workings of the body and the mind.. explains her research simply and clearly.  The connection comes down to the simple cell and it's workings.   The functioning of the body(mind) is directed by individual cells (their signals and reactions), based on their interaction with ligands (neurotransmitters, hormones and enzymes). This is the basis of the bodymind communication system.

Ligands are responsible for  98% of all data transfer in the body and brain. Each cell has surface receptors that move and shake creating a vibration, which will resonate with a ligand vibrating at the same frequency. At this point the binding action of the cell and ligand creates the signal for the cell to take action; grow, divide, repair etc.    This cellular vibration is a force of attraction.

Molecules of Emotion -Ligands

What you experience as a "feeling" is the attracting vibration and the connection of cell and ligand is the manifestation of that feeling.
