The Biology of Belief

If you are interested in the science of how our thoughts affect our physical health, consider reading The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, a professor and researcher of cell biology. 

The book details the mechanisms used by cells to receive and process information, and how DNA is affected by influences from the cell’s environment. 

The nervous system and our fight or flight response determines how well cell membranes function. When the nervous system is activated, membranes tense and stop the flow of both vitamins and toxins through the membranes. When the nervous system is calm, membranes can receive and let-go for our greatest good.

The author proposes that our bodies can change as we retrain our thinking.  When our perception is full of trust, hope, peace, and calm, our state of health rises. I have found it to be a fascinating and hope you enjoy it.
