what we want to happen, increasing the likelihood it will occur.


What role do faith and belief systems play in the healing journey?


It all comes down to what we believe. If you believe in and expect an eff ect, like what we see with a placebo, the brain will create and release natural chemicals that might be prompted by a targeted drug. Believing you are a victim of genes and circumstance induces stress, whereas having faith in a loving universe produces greater ease.


How do emotions infl uence health and healing?


Gregg Braden and Joe Dispenza, in- terviewed in HEAL, discuss how rage, jealousy, trauma and fear put the body in a stress response and create infl ammation and other detrimental eff ects. But love, kindness, joy, gratitude and compassion release healing hormones and neuro- chemicals like oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine. It’s empowering to know that when negative emotions arise, you can become aware of and release them, then pivot to focus on gratitude or do some- thing that cultivates joy. It’s a moment-by- moment choice.


Healthy people require a healthy planet; how can we apply these same principles to bring our world back into balance?


T e more conscious we become, the more we treat ourselves, others and our Earth with compassion. As more people awaken and demand a diff erent response, the para- digm will shiſt . Health care will have to change as we apply the power in our hearts and minds. Our bodies are a microcosm of the universe; the planet can heal itself and thrive as we remove the toxins and become fully aware of what we are putting in the air, water and soil.
