It may suffice for us to simply feel gratitude to Reiki for facilitating emotional healing. I am nonetheless drawn to recent brain research that may reveal what goes on in our brains in shifting our destructive emotions into more positive ones. Let's take a closer look. The amygdala, located within the limbic system of the brain, is active during negative emotional states, especially fear. The left prefrontal cortex, on the other hand, is associated with positive emotional states, such as optimism and inner calm. Furthermore, increased activation of the left prefrontal cortex actually suppresses the activity of the amygdala. This may be the biological mechanism behind the emotional shifts Reiki induces, freeing us from our more destructive emotions and enhancing our positive ones.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6008830894903657991-3434409606780722985?l=brennerreikihealing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brenner Reiki Healinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053874241149749235noreply@blogger.com0
