I noticed that you mention the nervous system quite often on your website and in your literature. Is there an easy way to understand what our nervous system is and how it works in our bodies? In General, it is the nervous system that allows us to receive information from the outside world around us, and the inside world within us. For many people, their experience of life has become narrow and flat. When you examine many people's physical and sensory perception, they are not able to or are commonly not reaching the depth of sensory perception that they could or have in the past. Their nervous system has become dulled or worse, overstimulated to the point that stimuli has caused one's physiology, and specifically the nervous system to act as though it is on "over-drive". Thus, when one has become overstimulated their reactions within their body, and in life are typically way out of proportion with regard to their actual experiences. When someone bites into a strawberry, it is the nervous system which enables them to notice the texture, the amazing color, or the vibrant flavor of the delicious fruit. When someone touches someone else, it is the nervous system which enables them to know the depth of the feeling behind that touch, or perhaps, the information within that touch. For example, we automatically can "feel" the difference between the touch of an acquaintance, and the embrace of a dear and close friend. The N.S. helps all of us to learn and to pay attention to how our actions impact our lives. When one is drinking an extra cup of coffee, smoking a cigarette or perhaps doing something that may not be generally healthy for them, the nervous system will give them instant feedback as to whether or not they should partake in any more of a certain behavior. Perhaps, they may receive an inner cue that tells them that it may be time to say "Enough of this" . Ultimately, the nervous system is a powerful information highway, which, when fine-tuned, can give us the ability necessary to make choices that lead us towards reaching a greater level of ease and life enjoyment. With the increasing demands which are present in everyday life, it is essential to have a clear and properly functioning nervous system as it is the nervous system which acts as the communication highway that interconnects every cell tissue and organ in your body!
