Key Points
95% of ligands are peptides
Peptides are subconscious messenger molecules
Receptors are sensing molecules
Peptide-Receptor= multidirectional communication throughout the entire organism
Receptors on the cell serve as sensing molecules
Ligands (neurotransmitters, steroids, and peptides) bind to the receptors

Mind-Body Medicine Science
Information carriers of Mind/Emotions
“Molecules of Emotion”
Information exchange via psychosomatic network
Peptide
Receptor
Receptor on the cell receives the information
Binding process changes the behavior of the cell
Anger
Joy Embarrass-ment
Fear
Love
Perceptions
Courage
Peptides, the “Molecules of Emotion”
Mind-Body Medicine Science
Mind/Emotions and bodily sensations are functionally integrated in a multidirectional network linked by information molecules

Limbic system contains an extremely high quantity of receptor molecules
Feeling of love and compassion can prompt neurological and chemical response
Emotions originate in

• Increase heart rate• Increase blood pressure• Faster breathing• Muscular tension• Coldness and sweating• Decreased intestinal activity• Increased inflammation
(immune response)• Increase survival-oriented
decisions (reptilian brain)• Decrease cortical activity
(executive brain function)
Most of the tigers we are “fighting” or “fleeing” are in our mind(a constant state of anxious readiness)

Consciously entering mind-body communication and influencing well-being
Mind-Body Skills can break a negative feedback loop
MBM Basic
Simply be present for a period of time without
the “shoulda”, “woulda” or “coulda”
and notice
MBM Basic
The mind influences the body and the
mind/emotions can be accessed via the body

Mind and Body are one…the MINDBODY
“Every change in the physiological state is accompanied by an appropriate change in the mental emotional state, conscious or unconscious, and conversely, every change in the mental emotional state, conscious or unconscious, is accompanied by an appropriate change in the physiological state.”
Mind-Body Medicine Science
-Elmer Green, Mayo Clinic physician (as quoted in Molecule of Emotion by Candace Pert, p. 137)

Thoughts and feelings can influence disease
Mind-Body Practice 2x/day for 2o minutes
Mind-Body Medicine lifestyle approach to well-being and quality of life
Mind-Body Connect: Implications
Stress and blocked emotions can prevent peptides (molecules of emotion) from flowing freely wherever needed
Dis-ease
Please let me go where I need to flow!
“I believe that happiness is what we feel when our biochemicals of emotion, the neuropeptides and their receptors, are open and flowing freely throughout the psychosomatic network, integrating and coordinating our systems, organs, and cells in a smooth and rhythmic movement” (Candace Pert, Molecules of Emotion, p. 265).
