| Bliss
Bliss is a state of profound spiritual satisfaction, happiness, or joy. It is at the extreme opposite of the lower emotions of distress, anxiety and despair.
The experiential change that we seek and promote intends to:
-
Reframe our personal expectations
-
Strengthen our resources to cope with negative associations conducive to stress and to
-
Trigger states that elicit the feeling of wellness and the physiology and psychology of excellence and of health.
As scientists, how do we explain this? Could there be a scientific basis for a "spiritual connection" beyond our mind and body? We'll begin an explanation below, but keep searching. The answer is scattered throughout the website - within you or beyond. Consider it a trasure hunt; the prize is "It."
Neurotransmission, also called synaptic transmission, is an electro-chemical process within neural synapses caused by a propagation of nerve impulses. As each nerve cell receives the neurotransmitter, passing information from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron, it sends it out to several neurons "downstream" and they do the same, thus creating a wave of energy until the pulse has made its way across an organ or specific area of neurons. And beyond...
All experience, thoughts and feelings, and all actions, are the results of neurons generating nerve impulses. Without nerve impulses an organism is clinically dead, so they are essential for our existence.
This revelation by a former colleague at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Candace Pert, challenges conventional science – and everyone interested in total wellness – to reconsider how our bodies think, feel, and heal. As a leading pioneer in a radical new science of life, this bestselling author and world class neuroscientist gives us an inside look at the molecular drama being staged within every cell of the human body – and a glimpse into the future of medicine. In "Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind," Dr. Pert describes in her own words her extraordinary search for the grail of the body’s inborn intelligence.
Dr. Pert first came to prominence when she dazzled us and the entire scientific community with her discovery of the opiate receptor in 1972. Ensor was fortunate to witness the excitement first hand during Candace's lecture at one of Dr. Anna Baetjer's classes at Hopkins.
Dr. Pert's view has shifted from the scientist’s to a spiritual one.
