As a thought travels through your brain, neurons fire together in distinctive ways based on the specific information being handled. Every thought you have, whether happy, sad, or indifferent, causes neurochemical changes within the hardware of your nervous system. Some are temporary while some are long-lasting. The patterns of your thoughts and emotions actually change your neurological pathways, rewiring your neurological system both in your brain and your body.
When you feel any of the ‘Big 6’ intensely or in tandem recurring events, the normal flow of signaling and the deciphering of information between your frontal lobe and your amygdala decreases, creating an inability for your brain to logically or critically assess the inflow of information. It also prevents your brain from turning off the alarms so your body can get out of survival mode.
This process causes your stress response to continue without turning off — your body can’t realize when the threat is over. The brain can’t assess the situation logically and is taken over by the amygdala center of the brain. It creates a constant state of fight or flight and a cascade of biological responses that over time lead to depression, anxiety, and practically every other chronic disease state in existence.
So how do we get out of the amygdala hijack state most of the planet is in right now?
First, we become aware of what is happening. Next, we stop the negative input creating the emotions causing the stress response. For many, this might look like abandoning TV and social media, for example. We have become a society in which we are controlled by our minds. (While our minds are being controlled by endless propaganda at every turn – social media, the news, our schools, social conditioning, even our tainted history books.)
The path to mass healing of emotional mind-rooted trauma around the world will require the awareness that we have been controlled by our own minds. Rather than our minds being our servants, they have become our masters. Once we become aware of this, we can take our sovereign power back and begin our path to healing and integration of our mind, body, and spirit. Our thoughts can literally heal our bodies or cause disease. Teaching ourselves and our children how to master their minds, their thoughts, and their perceptions of themselves and the world around them will break the chains of generational trauma once and for all.
Children and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Studies show that children who experience trauma, whether physical or emotional, are more likely to suffer with chronic disease (of every kind) and mental health disorders later in life. Teaching our next generations about emotional intelligence and how to master simple yet effective tools to shift their perception from one of victim to victor, from one of disempowerment to empowerment, teaching them to be the master of their own minds and realities, will be one of our greatest achievements ever in the healing and evolution of our humanity. With awareness and action on our parts, together we can literally transform our future generations, prevent future suffering, and empower our next generations to create the world of abundance, sovereignty, and safety that is our God-given inheritance.
