Affronter la peur

Les études montrent que la plupart des émotions ne durent pas plus de 90 secondes à moins que nous y attachions des histoires. Vous avez le sentiment d’être seul – et cela passera par vous rapidement à moins que vous inventiez une histoire sur votre solitude parce que vous êtes inaimable et inutile et que personne ne vous aimera jamais et vous serez seul pour toujours. Quand vous vous attachez à…

After The Body Keeps The Score, I started to read Mind Over Medicine, by Lissa Rankin, MD. It's about, basically, brain training, stress reduction, lifestyle changes, etc as treatment for chronic disease and resetting an over reactive nervous system. The contents were all well and good, but I had to stop less than halfway through, because the author irritated me so much.

She couldn't make up her mind whether she was talking to people trying to heal themselves or pleading with doctors to take these things into account or, all too often, apologetics for how the medical care system got this way. Which she can do on somebody else's time but fucking not mine. Because MY advice for doctors is that if you want people to start trusting you and not turning to unproven alternate treatments then you should fucking Get Good and then prove it. Good luck.

Also, with deepest apologies to my west coast mutual and followers, every few pages I couldn't suppress the urge to roll my eyes and think, "fucking west coaster". Fucking, green juice and walking on the beach. Yoga doing health nut nonsense.... But I digress.

Anyway. You're probably better off watching a few TED talks about the nervous system and immune system. Watch Lissa Rankin's talks, even. You'll get the idea with way less baggage.

"Studies show that most emotions last no longer than 90 seconds unless we attach stories to them. You have a feeling of being lonely—and this will pass through you quickly unless you make up a story about how you’re lonely because you’re unlovable and worthless and nobody will ever love you and you’re going to be alone forever. When you attach to the story, you suffer needlessly and the suffering can linger for years. But you don’t have to choose to suffer this way. Your soul can find peace, comfort, and stillness even in the most difficult times if you’re able to view your negative emotions from this witness position."

—Lissa Rankin

Be careful with the stories you tell yourself, your mind is always listening and remembering.

Reevaluating Contemporary Medicine: Examining the Effects of Stress on Soul Healingntroduction: A Difficult Question

In her TEDx talk, Lissa Rankin, MD, poses an intriguing question: Is contemporary medicine unintentionally harming people or saving lives?

Rankin struggles with the disturbing reality of avoidable medical blunders and the widespread culture of pill-centered healthcare as a doctor motivated by a spiritual vocation to heal.

The Cost of Avoidable Medical Mistakes

The Centers for Disease Control and the Institute of Medicine warn that avoidable medical errors are the third biggest cause of mortality, raising concerns about modern medicine despite its good intentions.

Rankin takes on the pill-popping medical culture that puts symptom treatment ahead of treating the underlying causes of sickness.

Understanding Stress's Effect on Health

Stress appears as a prevalent but often disregarded cause of disease, accounting for 90% of medical visits due to stress-related problems. Rankin urges physicians to treat the underlying pressures that predispose people to sickness in order to argue for a paradigm shift in healthcare.

The Significance of Soul Healing

Soul medicine, which has been shown by science to have an impact on health, includes treating toxic relationships, unfulfilling occupations, financial concerns, and social isolation. These issues are frequently disregarded in modern healthcare.

Rankin emphasizes the significance of adopting holistic treatment modalities that support the body, mind, and spirit in addition to going beyond symptom management.

Evaluation of the Illness Control System

The claim made by Dr. Andrew Weil that the existing healthcare system functions as a system for managing diseases makes one stop and consider the necessity of a comprehensive approach to health and wellbeing.

Rankin draws attention to the discontent among medical professionals and patients, indicating the pressing need for radical change in the way healthcare is provided.

The Drawbacks of Dependence on Drugs Too Much

Although Rankin acknowledges the ability of modern medicine to save lives, he advises against relying too much on medications and surgical procedures, instead supporting a well-rounded strategy that incorporates biochemical and holistic healing approaches.

Accepting Personal Responsibility and Self-Healing

Rankin describes her personal experience of tackling the underlying reasons of her health issues in order to lessen her need on medicine.

She poses the following thought-provoking question to patients, encouraging them to participate actively in their recovery process: What does your body need to heal?

Promoting a Healing Grassroots Movement

In order to restore the essence of medicine, Rankin sees a grassroots movement bringing together conscientious healthcare professionals and empowered patients.

She begs people to accept the potential for change and regain control over their life and health.

Rubber Hand Illusion: A Viewpoint into Awareness

Alimardani presents the rubber hand illusion experiment, questioning the idea that the body and the mind have a distinct boundary and demonstrating how outside stimuli can affect our sense of self.

Philosophical Viewpoints: Body vs. Mind

Alimardani examines the long-standing question of whether the mind and body are distinct entities or integrated parts of human existence, drawing on the writings of René Descartes and other philosophers.

The Mysterious Nature of Interaction: Overcoming the Halo

Alimardani explores the range of hypotheses put out by philosophers throughout history in order to address the philosophical conundrum of how a non-physical mind may interact with the physical body.

Scientific Discoveries: Consciousness and Neuroscience

Including conclusions from In his discussion of neuroscience, Alimardani addresses how our subjective perception of consciousness and selfhood is shaped by the combination of brain activity and physical sensations.

Technology's Consequences: Expanding the Self

Alimardani investigates how emerging technologies, including mind uploading and brain prosthetics, may redefine our relationship with our bodies and push the limits of human awareness.

Eastern Views on Philosophical Traditions

Alimardani draws attention to the similarities between modern philosophical research and Eastern traditions that stress the connection between the body and the mind, including Buddhism.

Solving the Self-Mystery

Ending with a thought-provoking question, Alimardani allows readers to ponder the complex nature of the self and leaves space for future research and philosophical deliberation on the fundamentals of human identity.

Integrating Viewpoints: Combining Science and Philosophy

By connecting scientific discoveries with philosophical inquiry, In order to comprehend the relationship between the body and the intellect, Alimardani proposes a holistic method that takes into account the complimentary insights provided by both disciplines.

Moral Issues: Crossing Upcoming Frontiers

Alimardani emphasizes the significance of ethical contemplation and responsible decision-making in influencing the future ramifications of fusing human consciousness with artificial constructions as mankind forges into unexplored technological territory.

Developing Awareness: Practicing Mindfulness in Daily Life

Alimardani invites people to participate in reflection and contemplation to enhance their understanding of self and reality. She promotes the development of mindfulness and self-awareness in navigating the intricacies of existence.

An Appeal for Further Research

Ending with a plea for continued research and discussion, Alimardani highlights the intrinsic worth of raising questions and pursuing a better comprehension, encouraging people to start their own philosophical excursions into the enigmas of life on Earth.

Final Thoughts: Embracing Life and Strengthening Healing

Rankin exhorts people to embrace their one wild and precious life by providing themselves with the medicine they genuinely need, taking inspiration from poet Mary Oliver. She closes by extending an invitation to listeners to join her in the shared endeavor to heal healthcare and unleash the infinite possibilities for health and vitality.

Thanks to the Ford-Kavanaugh hearing, the MeToo movement is morphing into a tsunami, as it must in order to have its needed impact. More than silences must be broken; the edifices of male denial, entitlement, and aggression must be leveled.

This asks not for reasonableness or calmness, nor for violence, but for a fully alive anger from the heart as well as the belly — the fiery passion of healing outrage. The tears that may accompany such anger do not quench its flames but deepen them.

Quietly poking at the misogyny that pervades America is not enough; nor is analyzing it; nor is being nice to men who say they oppose the mistreatment of women but don’t do a fucking thing about it.

I’ve written plenty about this, especially with regard to men’s shame, aggression, and unexamined eroticizing of their unresolved wounds — but what I mostly feel called to address here is the faction of men (an adulterated boys’ club) who trivialize or look down on the MeToo movement and continue to take as their right, however indirectly, the harassment, sexual and otherwise, of women.

Not everyone in this faction is a rapist or is guilty of sexual assault, but all are silent when it comes to calling out each other on their abuse of women, their pornographic mindset, and their reluctance to outgrow the rape-oriented culture that is a sanctuary of sorts for them. Pretty harsh to say this, I know — but I’m not male-bashing here.

Instead, I’m inviting men to stop tolerating this faction, even if it includes your boss, your political rep, your law enforcement buddy, your drinking pals, your brother-in-law, your father. And I’m also inviting women who are caught up in this faction — through misplaced loyalty, fear, blindness — to also cease tolerating such men and speak the fuck up.

Yes, women need to claim their real anger and stop muzzling it, letting the essential voice in the flames have its full-blooded say, blasting through the accusations that they are being hysterical, bitchy, or too emotional — but men need to claim this too. And I’m talking about the kind of anger that doesn’t dehumanize or violate or cut, but that truly levels the playing field.

This isn’t about aggression but about an anger that has at least some degree of heart, no matter how hotly it burns. And this very anger must, must, must be turned toward misogyny, all misogyny, be it internal or external, subtle or obvious, personal or collective, saying through its fiery front: No more. No more!

This is not a ranting indulgence, but a fully accountable, fully embodied expressing of what has been left largely unexpressed. Such anger breaks the heart, breaks it open, without any weakening of its position. It fuels needed changes. If Republicans and Democrats won’t respond fittingly to such heat, then it can serve elsewhere, as in the forming of a new political party. This is not impotent anger, an entitled flailing, a self-indulgent discharging of overly contained emotional energy, but rather life-giving heat and light and intensity, sacred fuel.

Women getting into this, directly and passionately, will undoubtedly make plenty of men uncomfortable. So be it. We don’t reach truer ground without being uprooted. There is so, so much pain in America now, and thank God it’s surfacing more and more, so that it’s out in the open enough to be effectively worked with.

The men I see in my men’s groups are really hurting, but are committed to doing something beneficial with that hurt, no longer avoiding or eroticizing their wounding, but entering it in ways that permit deep healing. Along the way, they need to face how they may have hurt or degraded or pornified women. Openly sitting in the shame that this catalyzes brings forth the healthy warrior in a man, lowering the odds that he will convert such shame into aggression or numbness or dissociation.

Such men, in doing their core work, become safer for women, without any dilution of their raw masculinity. This makes room for passionately awakened relationships, bonds that serve as both crucible and haven for deep intimacy and the work — the sacred labor — that needs to be done by men and women together.

One might ask where the men are who are doing or did the sexual assaulting. Everywhere. Most are far from being transparent about such activity, and just as far from being transparent about their interest in this. Most are far from engaging in any serious exploration of the roots of their dehumanization of those they assaulted or wanted to assault or imagined being assaulted.

Should we have compassion for men who continue to hurt women, who continue to take the diminishment and sexual harassment of women as their manly right, who pooh-pooh the notion of doing some therapy, who are all but devoid of empathy for women who challenge them? Once our anger and perhaps also hatred toward such men has been expressed, once some healthy power has been established, then — and only then — it may be time to start accessing some compassion. And in this I in no way mean letting these men off the hook regarding their accountability.

Trying too soon to be compassionate toward those who have abused us can easily undermine our capacity to take firm stands against such violation. It is enough for a while to not allow ourselves to indulge in dehumanizing our offending others. Premature compassion simply weakens us, especially when we slip into framing our oppressors as victims of their conditioning. Yes, they’re hurting too, but what are they doing with this hurt? It is crucial to remember that even very wounded men still have the option of making the choice not to hurt and dehumanize women.

Eventually, a fierce compassion may arise, and be allowed to take root in us — and it has to be fiercely alive, so that our newly formed boundaries can be maintained. The men we are angry at, disgusted by, averse to, may remain the same, playing victim to their conditioning — not taking charge of their charge — but we will no longer be so much at their mercy.

The tsunami of outrage and fitting action will turn the tables, sooner or later. Walls will crumble. So will male privilege, more and more. Our era demands it. Things that seemed unchangeable are now not looking so solid, so sure, so lasting. Ours is a time of great peril and great promise, asking for the very best from us.

We are in massive upheaval in all kinds of ways, signaling the beginning of a collective birth labor — messy yes, painful yes, the outcome not guaranteed, but at this point what else is there to do?

The outrage I speak of may sound warlike, but it actually undercuts the warfare between men and women, especially when it carries some vulnerability. Our anger and our grief, in conjunction and fully expressed, can carve out new ground, fresh ground, for truer, deeper relationships between men and women, characterized by an intimacy and vision that furthers one and all.

We are capable of this — and many are already stepping into it and its demands, however muddy and chaotic the terrain, finding a core-level strength and resolve as we do so.

Onward!

Post : Placebo effect and Nocebo effect 🤗

Hello everyone ! Have a wonderful Friday 🙋🏻

I am sharing with you today, a beautiful talk by Dr Lissa Rankin MD, which gives you the idea how powerful is our mind, which has the ability and the enormous capacity to heal the body from any disease and illness.

Hope, you like watching it as much as I do.

Blessings and…

“When Lissa Rankin, MD researched what optimizes the health of the body and what predisposes the body to illness, she was surprised by what she found. When asked "What's the greatest risk factor for disease?" she found that perhaps it's not our diet, our exercise regimen, the absence of bad habits like smoking, or genetics that most profoundly affect the health of the body. To her surprise, she found that scientific evidence suggests that loneliness may be the greatest public health issue few people are talking about.

We are tribal beings, and when we feel lonely, our nervous systems sense a threat, activating stress responses that predispose the body to illness. When we come together in conscious community, our nervous systems relax and the body's self-healing mechanisms activate, which may be the most important medicine we need. What is the cure for this underrepresented public health issue? Dr. Rankin's prescription may surprise you.”
