Dr. Clarence Trausch - Don't Blame The Game

Although Mind/Body Medicine has been around for millennia, the modern case for it began when in the 1980s, when the National Institutes of Health discovered molecules they called neurotransmitters acting in our bodies as “communicator molecules.” These neuropeptides, or protein chains, produced in the brain through the agency of the conscious and unconscious mind, race back and forth from the brain to the body, communicating with every organ inside us, signaling our emotions, desires, memories, intuitions, and dreams.

To think is to practice brain chemistry, to promote a river of neuro-chemical responses throughout the body. With every thought, the mind brings into being in the brain millions of chemicals that bear the character of its conscious or unconscious thoughts. The quality of our thoughts are conveyed, along with those communicator molecules, to every other organ, system, and cell of the body.

THE ROLE OF STRESS
It is broadly held in the scientific community, and increasingly among the public, that mental and physical stress, from internal as well as environmental sources, will sooner or later have a detrimental effect on the body, and most alarmingly, the immune system.

Such mental, emotional, and bodily stressors are most certainly the precursors of disease, and include things like feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, reduced motivation, depression, guilt, poor self-image, disturbing thoughts and emotions, poor air quality, stressful surroundings, increased free-radicals in foods, insufficient exercise, and so forth.

Conversely, it has also become clear, based upon decades of scientific research, that removal or reframing of those stressors, strengthening the mind, learning to acquire a positive attitude, and participating in those interventions appropriate to their disorders, can significantly decrease the negative neuro-chemical products of the mind and the influence of environment that have a detrimental effect on the body.

TAKING CHARGE
Those people who take a proactive stance with their disorder, experience by far the most success in Mind/Body healing. Learning the methods of active self-healing along with their practitioner, Mind/Body Medicine consumers actually execute thinking, behavioral, and lifestyle changes that contribute to their body’s innate healing capacity. Such people tend to find their disorders improving and in many cases completely in remission
Mind/Body Medicine will complement and extend upon your medical treatment plan. It will utilize the mental faculties of intellect, memory and will to educate, strengthen, and activate the immune system in its role of preventing, and healing disorders and disease.
It is the role of Stillpoint Associates practitioners to provide the healing interventions and guidance from the Mind/Body Medicine repertoire of practices.
