Reseña del libro "The Heart Brain Revolution: The Science of Being Human (en Inglés)"
"This book separates the emotional from the mental. The EMOTIONAL SYSTEM is a SEPARATE, independent nervous system in human biology. Managed by the Intracadiac Nervous System - located in the human heart-, it gets informed by the body, it informs the Central Nervous System, which, in turn, informs the body, and back, in a continuous cycle during our entire lifetime.We have been approaching the study of Health in the reverse order.We have an emotional system with its own functioning rules, neurons, pathways, and purpose. We also have emotional health disorders and emotionally induced mental and physical illnesses. Our emotional system is our base system for life. We arrive here with its processes already in place, with instincts, desires, needs. Our entire life as a human is directed by our emotional needs. Life can be only FELT. Machines understand it, but human beings LIVE it through their felt perception of it.We made HEALTH too complicated because we did not have all the human biology puzzle pieces. Well, now we have another piece in place. Feelings and the Intracardiac Nervous System are related in the same way our Mind is related to the Central Nervous System. It is time to adjust the image and adapt our healing modalities accordingly." "Emotional illness is the prolonged negative emotional state resulting from an emotional wound that has been left untreated for a certain amount of time and has accumulated high amounts of disturbing feelings from additional experiences that have had similar feeling signatures, overwhelming the emotional system and disrupting its overall activity. Mental illness is the symptom of the existence of an emotional illness, where the mind's ability to function correctly has been impaired."From a biological point of view, the number of neurons in the IcNS increased with every reiteration of that specific negative feeling signature, until, following its information transfer to the brain, it influenced the brain's activity- thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, coping mechanisms, to the point where it affected its overall capacity to function properly."What we call "mental illness" is nothing more but an accurate translation into thoughts, words, and coping mechanisms of a traumatised emotional "map of the world". In most cases, there is nothing wrong with the brain- unless it has severe fragmentation where parts leak into one another chaotically, or it has already advanced to physical brain damage. It just translates what it receives- and then directs its whole activity - the thoughts that affect the physical body included- from that emotional standpoint."It has been increasingly noticeable that something is missing in the psychology and mental health theories. This book presents the missing link - the emotional system is not only separate from the mental/logical system, but also managed from a different location in the body - from the heart's nervous system - the IcNS.If you are looking to better understand yourself and the ones around youIf you or someone close has been diagnosed with a mental health disorderIf you feel "exaggerated" pain, anxiety, anger, frustration, etc.- you MUST read this book.
