The philosophy when I was a family doctor was that over 80% of one's patients were suffering from some form of psychosomatic illness

When I later began practicing psychiatry I naturally became very interested in the impact that one's beliefs and emotions had on one's physical health.

During that time I began to employ hypnosis to plumb the depths of the unconscious mind and found like many of my colleagues that one could very easily and quickly have profound effects on normal physiological mechanisms. For instance one could easily begin to influence such things as pain thresholds, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, blood flow to various parts of the body and so on.

So clearly what is now called the mind-body link emerged and is now well ensconced in modern medicine in areas now known as psychoneurology, psychophysiology, and psychimmunology.

After practicing in these areas I began however to find that there was a much deeper layer that was beginning to emerge. That layer was connected to what some have called the emotional heart.

The emotional heart is for all practical purposes the seat of what I call "true human emotions" i.e. peace, love, joy, contentment, sadness, happiness etc.

This is distinct from what I call "conditioned emotions" such as fear, worry, envy, anger, anxiousness and so on. The latter are conditioned as a result of past life traumatic events that then become imprinted in each of us as past "traumatic" memories.

We all have them in one way or another because we all have an experiential understanding of the "conditioned emotions" I outlined above which stem from them.

Such conditioned emotions along with their associated memories which are essentially part of what many call a post traumatic syndrome can be released from the mind and body readily and permanently employing a modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) which I developed over 10 years ago.

When this is done something very interesting happens. Not only do the memories and their associated beliefs and emotions disappear but an entirely new state of being comes into being.

This state consists of some of the following experiences: feelings of happiness, joy, inner peace, lightness, contentment, buoyancy, expansiveness, resilience, health, a feeling of radiance, feeling more energized, feeling rejuvenated and looking and feeling more youthful.

What's more these feelings seem to originate from the emotional heart, or the heart, region and "flow" or spread to the rest of the mind and body.

What appears to be happening is that as the traumatic symptoms are released the heart and its positive emotional healing energy is re-instated into and throughout the mind/body thus restoring it to its healthy and youthful state.

It has been my experience over the last 10 years that much powerful healing takes place when such an internal shift occurs.

What, in my view, is emerging is a new paradigm of understanding how we are put together so to speak. It is time that we start to recognize the emotional heart and its powerful influence on healing.
