Often times the mind-body connection can trigger reactions in the physiology.

Have you ever noticed that if you feel depleted, drained or depressed, that all of a sudden you may catch a cold? It’s because of the mind-body connection.

Mind-body researcher Dr. Burl Paine said he knows that thoughts activate neurological hormone secretions and stimulate nerve centers throughout the body. Using very sensitive EMG (electromyography) instruments that measure nerve conductivity and muscle tensions, he said he can show that muscles are activated by just imagining movement.

When you think about moving your hand (even though you don’t move it) they can see that the nerves are actually being triggered. There are tiny currents that are flowing through the nerves, into the muscles of the hands. When you even think about the movement, your brain sends a signal through your body.

Though we may not even be aware when thoughts are being generated in the brain, it seems clear that once they are released, they get amplified and turned into action.

Every thought you think influences millions of atoms in the cells in your body. This mind-body connection energy process that this physicist Burl Paine uses in his EMG research shows that the mind-body connection is beyond just a thinking process, it is a physiological neural response that triggers immediate reactions in the body.
