Laughter dulls pain, stimulates immunity, lowers blood pressure, blocks stress hormones

I’ve just been reading about how great laughing is for us and it seems so incredibly in line with the wonderful benefits of reflexology that I had to share my findings with my lovely clients!

The physical act of laughing calms anxiety.  It relaxes muscles, hence the expression “weak with laughter”, and can lower blood pressure Laughter blocks stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin that cause wear and tear on the system (I know some of you will be relieved by that!)

There are claims that laughter stimulates the immune system to produce cells that fight disease and tumours.

Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins which make us feel good and dull the pain sensors.

I hope you’re enjoying the Spring which is definitely in the air and I look forward to seeing you very soon.  Oh, and if you hear any good jokes between now and then, be sure to bring them to your next treatment!

Very best wishes, Rosanna 

Scientists Chart the Alignment of our Chakras in Various Emotional States

What are Chakras?

According to eastern metaphysical theories of Ayurvedic Indian medicine, there are seven “Chakras” or integrated energy centres that are considered to correlate with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

These energy Chakras are positioned or embedded into the spinal column at various locations beginning with the coccyx, rising all the way to the crown of the head.

‘Everything is Energy’. This is a widely accepted theory in Quantum Physics and scientifically proven.

All matter is held together via energetic bonds.  The movement of energy is vital to life. When we think, breathe, function or even when we are resting, electrical energy is flowing through our bodies via our neurones and nerve pathways.

The nervous system is composed of two main parts:

The Central Nervous System (CNS) within the brain and spinal cord, and

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), which connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, via little river-like nerve fibres. This system is apparently what correlates with the Chakras through it’s sub-parts, the Autonomic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System.

What are Scientists Discovering?

Electrophotonic analysis in medicine is something that’s been gaining more attention from scientists world wide.  It’s part of the continual realisation that the mind, body and ‘spirit’ or energy are intrinsically linked.

Konstantin Korotkov, Professor of Computer Science and Biophysics at Saint-Petersburg Federal University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (quite a mouthful), developed a scientific device to measure the bio-energy of living organisms, as well as the environment. The device provides a painless evaluation that can highlight potential health (physiological and psycho-emotional) abnormalities, it’s called the GDV.

Each Chakra is considered to resonate at a different frequency level. With this new software, it is now possible to quantitatively estimate the energy of Chakras and graphically display their level of activation, and indicate whether this level of activation is above or below the level found from large numbers of subjects

Below are the results from a case study done by Dr. Pradeep B. Deshpande, a professor emeritus at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville, which had over 100 participants in attendance.  Please keep in mind that clinical studies of more than 10,000 patient cases with various health challenges have also been well documented in Russia.

The aligned Chakras indicate that the subject was calm, relaxed and nourished from their participation in the case study, which involved information on meditation, breathing practices, love, kindness and intention. You can also observe a smoothing of the energy field before and after the case study work shop. Results like this were consistent with a number of volunteers.

“Each individual sector or portion of the fingertip is connected energetically with specific organs and organ systems such as the respiratory system. When the data of the 10 individual BIO-grams are collated and interpolated, an image of the entire full body energy field is created. An example of the full body energy field from both a healthy and unhealthy/emotionally unbalanced individual are shown above. The gaps, reduced emissions and out of balance Chakras for the unhealthy individual are quite obvious.” Dr. Pradeep B. Deshpande

In this case, a healthy and balanced emotional state is correlated with truthfulness, honesty, steadfastness, equanimity, unconditional love, compassion, gratitude, the ability to discern truth from falsehood, spontaneous affection, and the capacity to remain calm despite what’s occurring in the external world. An unhealthy and emotionally unbalanced state is correlated with attachment, ego, greed, lying, fear, anger, irritation, sorrow and more.
