Every Thought You Think Releases Chemicals in Your Brain By Lisa Zaccheo, MA, BCH, BC


truggling with anxiety, panic attacks, a depression that comes from being chronically anxious?

You've prob- ably tried a number of things in order to feel better, even traditional therapy or one of the many pharmaceuticals on offer. It's possible that you've even started giving up hope. There is help, and you'll find it in the most unlikely of places. Inside your mind… your subconscious mind that is. How do you access your subconscious mind? The answer is through hypnosis.

Einstein said, "We can't solve prob-


lems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Nor can we use the same part of the mind that created the dis-ease to cure it. In my opinion, it's the perceptions that live in the conscious mind that create most of our challenges. Two people can experience the exact same thing, yet the impact of that experience will be completely different based on their unique perceptions.


Many people believe that our mental/


emotional challenges are caused by a chemical imbalance, and that may be true, but how do these imbalances occur? Did you know that every thought you think, every perception you choose, every belief you hold releases chemicals in your brain that affect your whole system? Close your eyes, imagine there's a juicy lemon right in front of you. Imagine cutting it into quarters and taking a big juicy bite, then notice how your body responds. For many, there will be a pucker, some extra saliva, tightness in the jaw. These are all physiological responses that come from the mere thought of bit- ing into a lemon and the chemicals those thoughts release in your brain, which in turn creates these body responses.


If you're constantly thinking “lemon” thoughts about yourself like, "I'm not good enough, I'm not capable, I'm not smart enough”, your body is going to be in a per- sistent state of pucker. You're going to feel anxious, depressed, panicky, and demoti-

A full 85% of our health challenges are labeled functional vs. organic, which means they stem from something in the mental/ emotional body vs. the physical body. For those with anxiety, there can be a lot of body pain because of the tension it causes. People with depression also struggle with more pain, as well as stomach issues, mi- graines, insomnia, and weight gain.


Body symptoms that trigger the feel- ings of anxiety or depression are very often caused by those exact feelings, which if left untreated can create a vicious cycle. Be sure to tune into how your physical symptoms make you feel emotionally because this is often your body's way of sharing informa- tion and helping you pinpoint where you need to work to clear up the mental and emotional components of your dis-ease.
