How Your Mind Talks

To Your BodyA study done in the early 1970s, by Candace Pert

found that proteins called neuropeptides circulatethroughout your body delivering messages to themany cells and systems within it. The messages

allow the parts of the body to communicate with

each other and respond accordingly. This

interconnectedness can transform our bodies eitherpositively or negatively dependent on our thoughts,

beliefs, moods, and visual images.

Psychoneuroimmunology is the field of study where thebidirectional communication between the network of immunitycells, neuropeptides, and hormones influence biologicalsystems.

For example: A certain peptide called vasoactive intestinalpolypeptide (VIP), acts as a vasodilator and lines thegastrointestinal tract. However, VIP is also present in thecentral and peripheral nervous system. This suggests thatbased on emotions these peptides may become that which

cause those gut feelings that people often have.In addition to that, these peptides have also been found toinfluence immune responses based on the state of emotions.
