Great article by Dr Michael J. Duckett – How the Economy Affects the Brain

How the Economy Affects Your Brain
It’s a well known fact among the Mental Science community that chronic stress can actually alter brain anatomy. Stress (depression, fear, etc.) may cause specific areas of the brain to shrink in size. As the brain areas shrink, their functions (brain chemical secretions and electrical impulses) are altered. This anatomical adaptation to stress will ultimately affect how a person thinks, behaves, and reasons.
In other words, changes in the brain due to stress, makes us less able to think of logical solutions to our problems.
In addition to the irrational problem solving capacity produced by stress, the actual brain cells will change according to your thoughts.
On every brain cell (spinal cord cell too) there is a covering called myelin. This myelin covering acts as an insulator for the brain cell’s electrical activity. The more insulation on the brain cell, the stronger the electrical impulse can be relayed through that particular nerve.
In the past 15 years, scientists have observed how the myelin covering changes according to different factors. Specific diseases (Multiple Sclerosis, encephalomyelitis, etc.) or injuries can decrease or dissolve the myelin covering. The diminished covering is what eventually results in a number of disorders or death.
One interesting finding in recent research is how the myelin covering grows or thickens on the brain cell, according to the individuals intensely focused thoughts. You will want to pay close attention to this part of what I’m sharing.
Since our intense thoughts (good or bad) cause an increase of myelin covering, which in turn causes a stronger thought to occur in the individual, this produces stronger POSITIVE or NEGATIVE thoughts. The determining factor is based upon what the person is choosing to emotionally think about most of the time.
Of course, there are many branches of science utilizing these findings and one of them is Quantum Physics. Quantum Physics is the branch of science that studies the elements of life that are smaller than an atom.
Quantum Physicists are observing how thought can actually make subatomic particles appear and disappear right before their eyes. It’s some of this information that my Mental Codes Book and The Progression Video are based. These two pieces of work explain in laymen’s terms how our thoughts are creating—good or bad—our results.
The bottom line is this, “Our thoughts do something to our lives.” If this is so, then, the stronger our thoughts, the stronger will be the effect on our lives. If you don’t change your thinking to have stronger emotions around the correct thoughts, you will produce more myelin and strengthen the negative thoughts instead.
As you strengthen, the negative thoughts, you will end up producing more negative results. Now, we have scientific evidence to this fact.
If you are getting emotional (negative) about the economy and how it’s affecting your life, you are actually strengthening the negative impact and preventing your ability to come up with logical solutions. Now, we have scientific evidence to this fact as well.
To change your thoughts has been a challenge since the early days of time. There are numerous therapies, drugs, and techniques that work to make desired changes. Although the person feels better (at least temporarily), we find limited, long lasting results. But, there are answers for you.
I will share some of these solutions with you in the coming weeks. Note: I’m not treating you, any condition, or rendering any type of professional advice. I’m simply sharing with you what is working for me and thousands of other people. What you do, or don’t do, with the information is entirely up to you.
Solutions to our current challenges and future will need to come from ourselves. The solution to any challenge always starts with the way we look (think) about it.
With Warm Regards,

The Human Dietlemna !!
One of the things that I’ve learned is, to put on the new person, instead of coming from the person who wants to lose weight, start being the person who makes choices that reflect the person you want to be.”
I came accross this quote from Mary Morrissey this morning and, although it’s about weight, I think it contains a great secret to creating any change we want in our lives. It can really be applied to any habit that is causing us problems pain and discomfort.
That’s part of the human condition isn’t it. Just part of being human.
We all have internal struggles of one kind or another going on. For some people it shows up in more obvious ways like excess body weight for others it can be being the other extreem – being too thin. And some people are stuggling with habits that lead to ill health. The reason we call it a struggle is because no matter how much we think we want to change a habit or situation we often fall flat on our face at some stage of that attempt to ‘change’.
Why is not as easy “as I now realise I am over weight so I am going to loose the exccess weight” and just do what is necessary to do that?
Have you ever decided to change some destructive behavour permanently and succeeded immediately?
That’s what we expect ourselves to do though, isn’t it. I think this can be done – but only eventually. If you find someone who says that they just decided to change something and it changed overnight – you’ll find that on other occassions they had ‘failed’ ( no such thing as failure – only feedback) So part of the change and the healing is the journey of- start -stop- fail -succeed – fail- CHANGE…Yippee!!
The important thing here is that we can change. But only when we give ourselves the understanding that lies behind all change. Ifthe behavour is something that we find difficult to change then it is something that at one time gave us comfort and pleasure- so it was something that we lliked and spent a long time cultivating it. It is this dynamic that has to change . In other words, the energy dynamic is what we are changing for PERMANENT CHANGE to happen. So we are human and this means that our pain pleasure buttons have gotten all mixed up. They are crosswired – so instead of doing the things I want to do I do the opposite – even with the knowledege that it is distructive for me.
Even Saint Paul mentions this – the human delemna. ” ”
This statement names it and understand our delemna..
That’s why to make good choices, and so healthier behavours we have to rewire the pain pleasure circuits. We have to work at this deeper level of our psyches. We have to look inside not outside at advertisments for the next quick fix diet. There is no quick fix for the human condition. But there is the beautiful invitation to learn about YOU.
When you start this journey from the inside you will genuinely find the person you want to become. Not only tha,t but you’ll find that you are already that person deep inside. You just need to spend some time looking for her and then following her guidance so that you reveal the beauty that is really you.
So that’s what this little quote is advising and guiding us to do. It’s asking that you go inside and find and connect with that inner person that you want to become and start from the
advise that you find there. Then you will easily make the choices that reveal this INNER YOU. Wheither that’s a thinner you, or a more sufficated you or a successful you or a kind you you already are that YOU.
The healing dynamic that is left out of all commercial answers to weight loss products is the dynamic of connection with the Mind Body Soul and Spirit. That’s who you are. You are not just a physical body. You are a dynamic person with hopes dreams inmagination and feelings, living your life with purpose.
Remember your angels constant whisper to your soul ” you are beautiful – there is no blemish in you” ( Song of songs)
” We see the beauty in you”.
Just Ask them to show this to you to help you see what they see and to overcome any negative self image you are allowing into your life.
To help with this inner connection to your beautiful self a combination of Hypnotherapy and Spiritual therapy is both easy and extreemly effective. It will help you see the person you truly are.It will help you develop your inner eye and inner knowlege and compassion. You will see the change you want to see on the outside.
With much Love, Mary
