EXTENDED BODY: ENVIRONMENT: CELL PHONES IN CAR INCREASE EMR BY 36X

I have a friend who works for a European automaker, who gave me a short but stern heads-up one day when I was driving in his car and picked up my cell phone to make a call. He requested that I not talk on my cell phone while driving with him. Why? I was innocently ignorant, like most Americans. The reason is that the metal dome that is your car roof increases electromagnetic radiation from cell phones 36 times! This is why European automakers are required to equip all cars sold in Europe with cell phone cradles that route the EMR through the antennae on the top of the roof. Why don’t automakers have to meet those same requirements here in the U.S.? That is the question we all need to be asking. In the meantime, forget catching up on phone calls while driving to work and back. And NEVER use a cell phone in a car with a child or pregnant woman, because children and infants are more susceptible to electromagnetic radiation than adults. (The second biggest killer of young children in Australia today is brain tumors.)

SUBTLE BODY: THE EMOTIONS: WHY WE CRY TEARS

Crying is a primary grammar of the bodymind denoting weakness, vulnerability, and need. The common reaction to someone crying is empathy and sympathy. Intense emotional feelings such as crying, laughing, and grimacing in pain are the first mother tongue–a potent form of communication that conveys authenticity and vulnerability, and sometimes an urgent plea for help. The muscle patterning that accompanies strong emotions evolved to communicate needs forcefully, quickly, and unambiguously while maintaining the primary bonds and social stability of the group. Emotional tears, which are bio-chemically distinct from reflex tears and basal tears that protect our eyeballs from injury and infection, are loaded with hormones. So why do we cry emotional tears Because crying is a powerfully effective way to ask for sympathy and help without speaking. In addition, crying detoxifies the brain of excess hormones, minerals and proteins that result from huge emotional waves of information and energy passing through the central nervous system. According to tear expert Chip Walter in his book Thumbs, Toes and Tears, emotional tears are full of proteins, manganese, and prolactin, one of the limbic bonding hormones. Rather than holding back tears and staying overwhelmed for years with strong feelings, paralyzed with anxiety or anger or depression, we have a “good cry,” dry our tears, and get back to our lives. Emotional crying, a trait of humans and humans alone, helps us to survive life’s surprises and traumas so we can adapt and evolve.

CAUSAL BODY: TRANSPERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS: LIMBIC RESONANCE

Without it infants die. Hearts break. Communities and families fall apart. For big cats, wolf packs, elephants, whales and dolphins as well as humans, the biochemical-energetic bonds that tie us together are key to our evolution and survival as mammals. Neuroscientists now know our hearts are 65% neurons, meaning our heartfelt emotional feelings and connections are part of our native intelligence, part of our brain. Limbic resonance is the love vibe, and you get an endless supply of it whenever you tune in to the loving vibe of another mammal. It’s why elders with pets live longer, and children who get hugs develop self-confidence and well-being. And it is the source of powerful healing energy that any of us can shine toward the people in our lives. According to Dr. Deepak Chopra, the quality of the limbic bond between the care provider and the person trying to heal is the single most important determining factor in all modalities of healing. Touch is deeply connected to limbic resonance, and enhances the feeling of connectedness that helps us thrive. So reach out and touch someone…and know that you are doing it as much for yourself as for the other person.
