Cellular Emotions

Dr Candace Pert.jpg

I’ve just come across the work of Dr Candace Pert: Molecules of Emotion: the Science Behind Mindbody Medicine (Simon and Schuster, 1998) and Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d (Hayhouse, 2007).[1]

Maybe you know her from the movie ‘What the Bleep Do We Know!?’ [2]

In the movie she explains how the molecules of emotion colour our perception, penetrate our cells and hence our creation of reality and health.

Similarly, in her books, Candace explains how emotions exist both as energy and matter, in the vibrating receptors on every cell in the body.

She says that people are often ‘stuck’ in an unpleasant emotional event - a trauma - from the past. This is stored at every level of our nervous system and even on the cellular level - i.e. cells that are constantly renewing the nervous system.

Her lab research suggests that all of the senses, sight, sound, smell, taste and touch are filtered, and memories stored, through the molecules of emotions, mostly the neuropeptides[3] and their receptors, at every level of the bodymind.

This flows so well with what we’ve seen in holistic medicine especially that of German New Medicine and Dr Hamer’s ‘unexpected traumatic shock experience’.[4]

I would love to speak with her and hear her views about emotions and MS wouldn’t you?

I have added her to my ‘To Contact list’!

Watch this space!

If you have met her or read her stuff, what do you think?

  3. A neuropeptide is a chain of amino acids, and each acid within the chain contains both a positive and a negative pole. Due to the way the chain is constructed, two positives can be back to back, or two negatives, or one of each.

    The significance of this is that by combining positives and negatives within the sequence of the chain, the chain carries information to the cells of the body. This information is the transduced thought, which includes a small, or large, electrical charge called an emotion.

    Mind-Body Connection, Part II: The Map is Not the Territory gives more information.
