8 Interesting Emotion Info! Every experience in life has an emotional weighting to it.! 95% of everything your brain has stored is uploaded by the age of 4 years.! By 35 years old, you have no original thoughts or emotional reactions.! Neuroplasticity stagnates by 25 years of age in most western minds.

9 How Do We Feel! 90% of your brain function is subconscious - 10% is conscious.! Your brain uses 30% of the body s blood glucose. If you have blood sugar deficiencies your brain doesn't function well.

10 How Do We Feel! Neuropeptides for each emotion impact the cell receptors! Each cell responds with a behaviour and vibration that we recognize as feeling.! DNA and other cellular production is directly impacted by the emotional status of any cell! Each organ has a selected emotion of dysfunction, and higher % of receptors for that specific neuropeptide.

11 Impact of Emotions on our Cells

12 Emotions and Our Organs EMOTION Guilt / Shock Panic / Anxiety Confusion Unresponsive Victimization Low Self-Esteem Disgust / Revulsion Grief / Loss Fear Irritation Anger Resentment ASSOCIATED ORGAN Heart Pituitary Thyroid Adrenal Small Intestine Spleen / Pancreas Stomach Lungs Kidneys Bladder Liver Gall Bladder

13 Adrenal F-F-F (Fight - Flight - Freeze)! Survival mechanisms are designed for short term emergencies in order to preserve life! Modulation of reaction to threat is performed in the limbic brain - the emotional centre! Smell has an almost instantaneous ability to modulate limbic responses! ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is regulated by the limbic modulation - regulates cortisol levels

14 Interesting Causes of F-F-F! Infection! Toxicity/ free radical pathology! Blood sugar imbalance! Malnutrition! Anemia! Subconscious patterns! Vibration! Hormonal imbalance! Technology - Tablets, Cellphones, Tv, Computers

15 Humans are amazing smellers! Rockefeller University Study: We can discriminate more than 1 trillion scents The worst smeller is capable of detecting about 80 million The best smeller is capable of detecting over 1,000 trillion

16 How does sense of smell work? WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW.! We smell based on a couple of factors: The size of the molecules inhaled The shape of the molecules inhaled! More recently it has been increasingly shown that we also smell based on: The frequency of the molecules being inhaled So we may smell based on PHYSICS as well as CHEMISTRY!

17 What can we detect?! Other than what we think of as smells! Stony Brook University Study: We can detect factors like fear, disgust, age and gender We produce and can detect pheromones - that is why fear can be contagious We can also detect individual and groups of volatile organic compounds.

18 Interesting frequency facts Based on Studies done by Eastern State University, WA! The healthy human body has a frequency of MHz! When your frequency drops your immune system is compromised.! Below 58 MHz cold and flu symptoms may appear! Below 55 MHz you are susceptible to Candida! Below 52 MHz you may contract Epstein-Barr Virus! Below 42 MHz cancer may appear! Death is said to begin at 25 MHz

19 Interesting frequency facts Based on Studies done by Eastern State University, WA! Eating healthy foods can increase your frequency Broccoli - 70 MHz Raw Almonds - 50 MHz! Eating unhealthy foods can decrease your frequency Hamburger 3-5 MHz Drinking a cup of coffee decreases frequency by 14 MHz (by 8 MHz just by holding the cup!!)

20 Essential Oil Frequency Essential Oils are probably the easiest way to increase a person s healthy frequency on a daily basis.! Rose MHz! Frankincense MHz! Lavender MHz! Myrrh and Roman Chamomile- 105 MHz! Sandalwood - 96 MHz! Peppermint 78 MHz Through the principle of entrainment the oil s higher frequency will raise the vibratory quality of a person s cells.

21 The Autonomic Nervous System! Sympathetic Nervous System Contains mainly adrenergic fibres Tends to increase heart rate Tends to decrease the tone of smooth muscle! Parasympathetic Nervous System Slows heart rate Increases glandular and intestinal activity Relaxes muscles

22 Scents can alter your nervous system! A Japanese study found that inhaling essential oils can modulate sympathetic nervous system activity: Black Pepper, Fennel & Grapefruit: in nervous system activity Rose and Patchouli: 40% in nervous system activity Black Pepper induced a 1.7 x in plasma adrenaline concentration Rose oil caused a 30% in adrenaline concentration Olfactory input is routed through your amygdala and hippocampus (which process emotion), but bypasses your brain s higher cortical areas (thinking parts). This suggests that aromatherapy may be helpful to those with dementia.
