How to Cure Loneliness on Valentine’s Day and Beyond

The following article was among the latest findings in psychoneuroimmunology on the effects of loneliness:

Study: Loneliness Triggers Inflammatory Illnesses

http://www.endonurse.com/
Posted on: 02/09/2011

L O S A N G E L E S—U C L A researchers reported today that chronically lonely people may be at a higher risk for certain types of inflammatory disease, because their feelings of social isolation trigger the activity of pro- inflammatory immune cells.

The research appears in the Feb. 7 - 11 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In their analysis of 93 older adults, the researchers screened for gene function among different types of immune cells and found that genes originating from two particular cell types — plasmacytoid dendritic cells and monocytes —were over expressed in chronically lonely individuals, compared with the remainder of the sample.

These cell types produce an inflammatory response to tissue damage, and are part of the immune system’s first line of defense, which produces an immediate inflammatory response to tissue damage.

It’s this same inflammatory response that, over the long- term, can promote cardiovascular disease, cancer and neuro-degeneration. The report provides further evidence of how lifestyle and social environments can impact human health.

In addition, the researchers suggest that evolutionarily ancient immune system cells may have developed a molecular sensitivity to our social environment in order to help defend us against socially transmitted pathogens… (Study: Loneliness Triggers Inflammatory Illnesses in .pdf)

Face Your Fears Every Day like it’s Martin Luther King Day

From the time he assumed leadership of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott in 1955 to his murder 13 years later, Martin Luther King, Jr faced hundreds of death threats. His home was bombed, with his wife and young children inside. He was hounded by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, which bugged his home and hotel rooms, circulated salacious gossip about him and even tried to induce him to commit suicide after he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

The defining moment of his life came late one night during the bus boycott when he received a threatening telephone call: “Nigger,” the caller began, “we are tired of you and your mess now. And if you aren’t out of this town in three days, we’re going to blow your brains out and blow up your house.”

Shaken, King went to the kitchen to pray: “I could hear an inner voice saying to me, ‘Martin Luther, stand up for righteousness. Stand up for justice. Stand up for truth. And lo I will be with you, even until the end of the world…’

King, Martin Luther, Jr (1929-1968) American cleric, Nobel Prize recipient (Peace, 1964) [noted for his instrumental role in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s; for his eloquence and commitment to nonviolent tactics; for his leadership of many peaceful demonstrations (among them the 1963 March on Washington, at which he delivered his legendary “I have a dream” speech); and for his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee in 1964]

How Depression is Linked to Inflammation

Some depression might have roots in immune-generated inflammation

some depression might stem from inflammation caused by the immune systemNEW YORK—The immune system works hard to keep us well physically, but might it also be partly to blame for some mental illnesses?

“The immune system may play a significant role in the development of depression,” Andrew Miller, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University School of Medicine, said Tuesday at a symposium on neuroscience and immunology at the New York Academy of Sciences. Evidence for this link has been mounting in recent years, and he described this research, which falls in the jauntily named field of psychoneuroimmunology, one of the most exciting recent developments in psychiatry.

Research has shown that depressed or stressed-out people tend to be more susceptible to medical ailments, such as infectious diseases and perhaps even cancer. But the correlation might also work in the opposite direction, Miller explained. People who are critically ill have about five to 10 times higher rates of depression, and that might not just be due to battling their illness, he noted. It could be stemming from underlying inflammation—a common bodily response to illness or injury.

How to Meditate on The Big Picture

This post is a reprint of the most recent Way of the MindGate Newsletter.

Way of the MindGate Newsletter is about fulfilling the needs of others, mainly your needs in terms of mind control. In turn, the audio project I’ve been working on is all about fulfilling your needs. I’ve mentioned it in previous newsletters. Here are the (updated) samples in case you didn’t catch them yet:

  1. Thought into Action (concentration)
  2. Design Beneath Disorder (creative focus)
  3. The Big Picture (mental speed & acuity)

The entire album is just over 70 minutes of rhythms and meditations for building concentration, creative focus, and mental acuity and will soon be available on Amazon. Please see a further description by clicking The Big Picture thumbnail to your left.

Time and Money

The content on this album helps us unify two issues that concern most people: Time and Money. In fact, there was a recent study on the effects of people who meditate on either time or money:

How We Get Our “Knee Jerk” Responses When We’re Awake

As of late, I’ve been collecting studies related to my latest work in progress, Brainstorm Trifecta, a music album that programs specific intentions during the waking state. Mainstream neuroscience studies have uncovered interesting data concerning our minds during the waking state.

The following graduate study work by Timothy Bardouille has ground breaking implications which I attempt to elucidate for you:

How to Give Up Mainstream Medicine for the Sake of Humanity

Spiritual Cinema Circle

    Dear Movie Lover,

Miracle or Science? Several years ago, astronaut Edgar Mitchell was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his kidney. To heal it, he engaged the services of a long-distance energy healer. Within a few months the tumor had completely disappeared.Start My Free Trial

The science behind “miraculous healings” is the focus of The Living Matrix, a new documentary that explains bioenergetics, heart coherence, and the placebo effect. These topics explain how formerly unexplainable healings take place every day.

Marilyn Schiltz, Ph.D., a leading noetic scientist and anthropologist, healed herself with the power of “intention” after a serious accident. Another woman in the film healed from a brain tumor with a powerful form of “energetic-based information medicine.” What may have once been called magic is now understood by science.

These stories, along with expert commentary from Marilyn Schiltz, Bruce Lipton, Dean Radin, Lynne Mc Taggart, Eric Pearl and Rubert Sheldrake, reveal the latest breakthrough science that now allows us to “deliberately initiate miracle cures.”

This powerful and informative film will change the way you view your ability to heal, and thanks to our friends at Spiritual Cinema Circle, you can receive The Living Matrix plus three entertaining films for FREE (just pay S&H) when you sign up for a trial membership.

This month?s volume features The Living Matrix and three other films including:

What Goes Around (U.S. & Canadian selection): Alex Klein is a bankrupt real estate executive whose life is on a collision course. He sees life as an endless struggle against all he abhors ? ignorant baristas, pop music and grammatical mistakes. One day, as he hurries off to a meeting he collides with another car. He wakes up in a white room and slowly and unwillingly realizes that he is in Death’s waiting room. He’s given one last chance to change his ways. “will he?”

Glenn Owen Dodds: Michael Radcliffe didn’t expect to have a five-minute sit-down with God, Glenn Owen Dodds that is, a mysterious man who claims to be God. Could he really be God? (Does Gerald O’Donnell believe he’s GOD?) An illuminating comedy for anyone who’s ever asked themselves the question, ‘Why am I here?’

Love Me: No one would envy Clarisse. She has a tiring, thankless job as a waitress in a small Parisian restaurant, and her boss is insufferable. Just when it seems like a normal day, a new customer makes an unexpected announcement that could change everything.

Join Spiritual Cinema Circle today to enjoy these rare films!

P.S. I also discussed the Living Matrix a while back at Bioenergetic Spectrum Science Circle: Bioenergetics Meets What the Bleep Do We Know. This film is another reason why there is a lot of crossover between psychoenergetics and bioenergetics.
