People who remain in me, and I in them, are the ones who bear plenty of fruit. Without me, you see, you can’t do anything.—John 15:5
Brainy Tip: Our thoughts can affect the entire body almost instantaneously through quantum energy and the flow of chemicals.
Acknowledging our thoughts, feelings, existing memories, and bodily reactions is of paramount importance, because the emotions are dynamic chemicals that flow in the bloodstream between cells and deposit information about the memory into cells. This also happens through quantum action, because the brain is like a biological quantum computer.
If you suppress an emotion, it will explode somewhere. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis will be disrupted and function abnormally. This HPA16 axis involves the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain and the adrenal glands just above the kidneys. It is the circuit that is activated in a complex, cyclic way of tension and release as we are responding to life all day long. Our thoughts can affect the entire body in an instant!
As frightening and overwhelming as this may sound, we need to remember that we are designed to ask the Holy Spirit for help. We don’t have to deal with life alone! With the help of the Messiah, we can deal with anything that comes our way. If we try to sort out all our issues alone, we can end up in an even bigger mess. Without him, we cannot do anything well.
