I would like to quote Dr. Joseph Dispenza, from the video “What the Bleep?! Do We Know Anyway?”  Dr. Dispenza specializes in neurology, neurophysiology and brain function.

“Who is in the driver’s seat when we control our emotions or when we respond to our emotions?  We know physiologically that nerve cells that fire together, wire together.

If you practice something over and over again, those nerve cells have a long-term relationship.  If you get angry on a daily basis, if you get frustrated on a daily basis, if you suffer on a daily basis, you give reason for the victimization in your life.  You are rewiring and reintegrating on a daily basis.  That neuronet now has a long-term relationship with all those other nerve cells – called an identity.

We also know that nerve cells that don’t fire together; no longer wire together.  They lose their long-term relationship because every time we interrupt a thought process, that produces a chemical response in the body.  Every time we interrupt it, those nerve cells that are connected to each other start breakiing their long-term relationship.

When we start interrupting and observing; not by stimulus and response in that automatic reaction, but by observing the effects it takes, then we are no longer the body-mind conscious emotional person that is responding to its environment as if its automatic.”

So who is in charge of our emotions?  We are.  But most of us don’t know that.  We have been conditioned to believe that other people or events cause our stress.  However, as Dr. Dispenza says, we can change our automatic reactions by interrupting the thought process.  That is what we do when we apply the powerful stress-reducing formula of Emotional Freedom (EFT).  If you would like to know more about EFT, I encourage you to visit my website at www.SherylStanton.com
