What is going on in our brain and body when we interact in relationships? How do Bowen theory and Polyvagal theory help us understand better about the way people function in relationships? As stated by Victoria Harrison, "Bowen theory provides a framework for using [Polyvagal Theory], along with other research in physiology to study the influence of the family system over self-regulation, symptoms and health."

Recent scientific studies have illuminated the profound effects of compassion training, revealing its power to reshape our brains through neuroplasticity and touch the deepest levels of our unconscious minds. By cultivating compassion for ourselves and others—including family, friends, colleagues, and beyond—we can significantly enhance our ability to respond to life's challenges with positive emotions. This isn't just theoretical; research consistently shows that engaging in compassion practices leads to tangible improvements in health, the quality of our relationships, and our overall resilience in the face of adversity. I've personally experienced the transformative impact of these practices through the techniques taught by meditation expert Sharon Salzberg. Her approach to compassion training has not only enriched my personal well-being but has also opened up new avenues for cultivating meaningful connections and fostering a supportive environment in both my personal and professional life. I highly recommend exploring compassion training as a tool for personal and professional development. The benefits are far-reaching, touching every aspect of our lives and creating ripples of positive change in our communities and beyond. #CompassionTraining #Neuroplasticity #PositivePsychology #MentalHealthAwareness #Resilience #SharonSalzberg #ProfessionalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #MindfulnessPractice Global Compassion Coalition
This is good news! It means that our brains are rewarded for having compassionate thoughts and acts. Compassion affects the physiology of our bodies in remarkable ways. Want more research into compassion and empathy? Click here: https://bit.ly/3wA9UBf

Why do humans and other animals cock their head when they are trying to gain a greater understanding of something or if they're trying to see something or hear something more clearly? Here’s a thread from the NIH’s National Library of Medicine entitled, “Direction and reliability of head tilt in humans” @ https://lnkd.in/eD9dbD9S Here’s the Abstract… It has been proposed that asymmetry in the inner ear underlies various manifestations of brain-behaviour asymmetry in the human. Specifically, Previc (1991) argued that an otolith imbalance manifests itself in an asymmetrical head posture, and later (1994) suggested that head tilt may be consonant with other measures of human laterality. The present study tested the reliability of head tilt across days and assessed its relationship with handedness, footedness, and eyedness. As in Previc's earlier studies, a majority of our subjects tilted rightward. Head tilt proved to be highly stable across days but was not correlated with the other laterality measures. These findings suggest that head tilt may reflect an underlying asymmetric substrate that appears not to be directly related to other measures of cerebral hemispheric dominance.

I interviewed Jay P. Shah, MD about the upcoming special seminar he and John Srbely, DC, PhD are presenting with us - Myofascial Trigger Points and Central Sensitization in Myofascial Pain Syndrome. June 22-23 in Toronto. "...we're fascinated by trigger points and their clinical manifestation. Is the problem local...or is that a manifestation of an underlying physiological process." Join us for the latest research and diagnostic methods that will equip you with new assessment tools to integrate next day. https://lnkd.in/gWr4KzuE

Educator & Scientist advancing fundamental awareness on life processes and Visionary seeking a continuum of socially constructive endeavors
Showcasing the salient publications and agenda of murburn concept! The idea is well supported and charted in diverse realms of cellular physiology. [[It advocates that diffusible reactive species (or DRS, like superoxide) are obligatorily produced and essential for routine cellular processes, as opposed to the prevailing ideas of DRS being toxic and wasteful products of metabolism.]] This misconception has already cost us millions of lives, billions of taxpayers' money, and trillions of man-hours.... When will our researchers and teachers take note and reorient? How long will our younger generation be denied???

Good insight on this popular fitness challenge! It is important to remember that each person has a different fitness baseline for starting, but a positive mindset can take you a long way!
Among the more popular life-change regimens this season is the 75 Hard Challenge. Launched by Andy Frisella in 2019, the high-intensity, food, fitness and brain challenge, has gone viral on social media. Brei Hummer-Bair, an expert in clinical exercise physiology and human resource technologist at Penn State College of Medicine, shares her insights and suggests alternative approaches: https://bit.ly/48qJujy

My new paper is published TODAY! 🌈 🌈 I argue we need to centralise biology in eating disorders, not always seeing physiology as a secondary consequence of some “true”, “underlying” psychological essence of these illnesses. Please read and share 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/emeynVjm

Struggling to be heard? Just like a faulty circuit breaker, our physiology can keep us from communicating effectively. We need to be our own detectives, identifying the disconnect to make ourselves truly understood. Dive in to learn more 👉 #Neurodiversity #WorkplaceInclusion

Blood–brain barrier: A physical and biochemical boundary between the bloodstream and the parenchyma of the central nervous system (CNS). Composed of tightly bound vascular endothelial cells, surrounded by a basement membrane, and supported by astrocytes, pericytes, and microglia, the blood–brain barrier shields the CNS from viruses, bacteria, and neurotoxins. It also controls the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between blood and the CNS. The blood–brain barrier prevents 98% of small-molecule drugs and 100% of large-molecule drugs from entering the CNS through the bloodstream. To learn more about this concept, read “Sounding Out the Blood–Brain Barrier” by Kullervo Hynynen, Ph.D., from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and University of Toronto: https://nej.md/41Jxg2V
