How Negative Thoughts and Emotions Affect Our Skin (+ 6 Tips To Change That)

Image source   All processes in our body are controlled by the nervous system. At the same time, the strongest bonds connect it with the skin, since they are the real embryological twins. Let us explain what this means. During the development of the embryo, the spinal cord and brain, peripheral nerves and epidermis are created from one material — the ectoderm, the outer germ layer of the embryo. And then these systems exchange a never-ending stream of messages for your whole life.   The relationship between the state of mind and skin   In dermatology, there is a section of psycho dermatology — a discipline at the junction with psychology. It studies the connection between skin conditions and our emotional background. And this is not surprising: the condition of the skin directly depends on the psyche.   The effects of stress   It is known, for example, that stress can worsen the course of such skin diseases like  dermatitis, psoriasis, etc. And, conversely, skin diseases, during which acne, irritation, dryness are observed, can cause severe stress. In addition, stress negatively affects healthy skin.   Some scientific works have proved that on the background of stress, the permeability of the…

Positive thinking and health are closely linked and it doesn’t take make to incorporate positivity into your daily life. Can Thoughts and Emotions Affect Your Physical Health?

What’s Been Going On

This was originally posted on my personal blog Well Color Me V=Back in December, I got sick. I thought it was just a sinus infection. The doctor gave me meds and it went away. All was well in my world, or so I thought. Less than a month later, the sinus infection along with a horrible cough was back. The doctors were reluctant to give me another antibiotic, which I get, because they don't want to over prescribe. They gave me cough medicine with codeine, and Benzonatate, neither of which did jack for my cough. I was miserable, people I work with were sick of listening to me cough all day long, and my family was over hearing me cough all night long. Back to the doctor I went and they decided that another antibiotic was indeed in order. Again, it worked and all was well in my world. Until the cough came back with a vengeance. Nothing was touching this cough. I ate cough drop after cough drop, I tried using a neti pot, over the counter cough remedies and home remedies. And still my cough remained, so back to the doctor I went. They decided that the best…

Love Yourself First

Love Yourself First Helen Bradford   As Louise L. Hay once said: “Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.” However, loving yourself requires effort, not just words. It may seem challenging though, especially considering how hectic our lives can be. Juggling with work, family, and many other obligations can leave us neglecting ourselves. It’s time to change the game and give yourself some much-needed TLC. It doesn't require any groundbreaking transformations. On the contrary, adopting these few self-care habits will give you a healthy body and a healthy mind. 1. Getting started. Self-discipline is the key when it comes to physical activity. Most of us make the decision to start exercising rather easily, but when it comes to putting it to practice, well... it's another story. A good idea is to make a workout schedule. Keep track of your activities (and energy levels) for a week. This will give you insight into what times work best for you. Our energy levels are usually highest in the morning so that would be a good time for more intense workouts. However, if you see it as a way to vent out after a busy day at work then you’ll dedicate time to…

What Exactly is Enlightnment?

  What Exactly Is Enlightenment? Written by Jafree Ozwald www.EnlightenedBeings.com "In a single moment, in one stroke, you can become enlightened. It is not a gradual process, because enlightenment is not something that you have to invent. It is something that you have to discover. It is already there. It is not something that you have to manufacture. If you have to manufacture it, of course, it will take time; but it is already there. Close your eyes and see it there. Be silent and have a taste of it. Your very nature is what I call enlightenment. Enlightenment is not something alien, outside you. It is not somewhere else in time and space. It is you, your very core." ~Osho Have you ever wondered exactly what does the word Enlightenment mean?  Well, personally I've only had a very brief taste of the enlightened state through a Samadhi experience that I was blessed with in 1995.  The one thing I can tell you that enlightenment is something that cannot be put into words. Yet, if I could describe it, I'd say it is the continuous realization of the divine Universally interconnected omnipotent omniscient omnipresent being you truly are.  Wow, that's…
