PSYCHO-NEURO-ENDOCRINO-IMMUNOLOGY(PNEI SYSTEM)

 A NEW EMERGING SCIENCE OF MIND-BODY HEALING — PSYCHONEUROENDOCRINOIMMUNOLOGY (PNEI) The blurring of the psychological boundaries during childhood becomes an important source of future physiological stress or illness in adults. People who have weak personal boundaries live with stress that has a vicious effect on the hormonal and immune systems. These stresses are part of everyday life ruled by others. These are the real stressors that lead these people to become unaware of these culprits. Stress can be transformed into an illness. Let me tell you how. Stress is a complicated chain reaction of physical and psychological responses to powerful emotional triggers. Emotions are electrical, hormonal, and chemical discharges of the human nervous system. Emotions affect and are affected by the organs system especially Yin and solid organs such as the Kidneys, Liver, Spleen, Heart, and Lungs (fear, anger, worry, joy/excitement, and grief), and the combined effect of the immune system including several circulating biochemical substances that help control our physiology of the body. When our emotions are repressed, this repression over a long period inhibits the body’s defense mechanism against the illness. Repression means dis-associating mental awareness from motions and putting them to an unconscious area which in turn leads to confused and scattered physiological defenses, the immune system, the endocrine system, and the psyche leaving a person vulnerable to diseases. In other words “Protector itself becoming destroyer”. A new science of mind-body healing is emerging known as “Psychoneuroimmunology” or simple PNI and through evident research done by scientists from different fields, there exists a close link between the immune system and the brain. A patient's emotional coping ability and the response he/she gives to continual stress might be the aggravating as well as causative factor behind the disease where the etiology of the disease is unknown. Autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, Scleroderma, Lupus (SLE), various Rheumatic diseases, and inflammatory bowel disorders come under this domain.

So, what is PNI or Psychoneuroimmunology? It is the science of mind-body interaction, the inseparable link between emotions and physiology in the development of the human being and his/her lifeline in health and disease. The PNI system studies how the human mind, psyche and its product (emotions) largely interact with the nervous system and their link with the immune system. It is also known as Psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinology to show that the endocrine or hormonal axis is also linked with the whole body response. Researchers are now revealing how these links work and interact with each other down to the level of cells. Eastern philosophies and alternative medicine like Ayurveda, Yoga, Chinese medicine, Acupuncture, Tai chi, and Qi gong are all based on the mind-body connection and how Western science is becoming mind-body based on the PNEI mechanism. The concept of the mind-body link was understood by ancient physicians and their data has been mostly lost without a sign. Our immune system is not an isolated entity and does not work alone from daily life experiences. We have lost connection with our intuition and gut feeling which are meant to be our alarm system of warning or wake-up call. The body initiates a stress response, but the mind remains unaware of the threat it produces. We constantly keep ourselves in physiological stressful situations with only little or no awareness at all. In a globalized and industrialized world, the silent killers and stressors are emotions. People are caged in lifestyles and emotional turbulences that are a threat to their health and well-being. As the world is advancing and exciting, we become numb to our emotional health realities. We have lost the capability to recognize our inner feelings and emotions along with the signals the body shows to us.

TOUCH YOUR INNER SELF

Image
  THE HEALING TOUCH In Acupressure treatment, there are several ways to stimulate an Acupuncture/Acupressure point, but the most simple and effective technique is the thumb rule of using the thumb and index/middle fingers. Simply holding or pressing the point by thumb or index/middle finger is enough to connect with the energy most efficiently. This method removes or releases stagnant energy most effectively and channelizes the energy through the meridians or channels. When locating a point, the index and middle fingers are the best bet, and after locating the point thumb can be used under moderate pressure to release energy. In areas or parts where there is too much muscular tension then both the thumb and index/middle fingers can be used alternatively. The thumb will remain at one point and simultaneously other fingers can work around the point to release energy. Regarding the amount of pressure, it should be neither too strong nor just a light touch but kept in moderation. The p...
