READERS – I want to add this note here instead of in another section.

I read the Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton. The back cover of the book says, “this book will forever change how you think about your own thinking.” I also wrote a review of this book and you can read that review here.

For me, it goes deeper than that. This book changed the way I viewed my own biology and every cell that makes up ME. This book gave me a sense of empowerment and led me to find one of my biggest mistakes that I feel led to the creation of my cancer: my thoughts and my feelings right before I fell asleep. When I was young, I remember feeling so very happy every night right before I fell asleep. I went to bed each night with a smile on my face. I felt the same when I was newly married. Thirteen years later, during the custody battle for my step-daughter, I felt so much stress in my body that I found it hard to unwind and relax to be able to sleep. The next year, during my divorce, I felt heartbroken, betrayed, as if my entire marriage had been a sham. And, having two children, I used the only time available to me to process those feelings: at night after they were asleep and right before I fell asleep. Therefore, I fell asleep every night in a quagmire of negativity and pain. According to Mr. Lipton, negativity and pain were the very things that I telegraphed to every cell in my body, every night.

Bruce Lipton, through his various experiments, professors and mentors, learned the importance of the environment in which cells lived (Chapter 2). In Chapter 3, Mr. Lipton brings up his belief that the brain of the cell is in the membrane. He follows with some explanations, examples and pictures. I found the discussion of Integral Membrane Proteins (IMPs) so fascinating because IMPs can act as receptor or effector proteins. Receptor proteins behave as sensory organs that receive information from the environment. This information comes in as many formats as there are receptors: chemical, hormonal, histamine, insulin and vibrational energy. 

YOUR CELLS CAN BE INFLUENCED BY VIBRATIONAL ENERGY!

And what largely determines your vibrational energy? Your thoughts and emotions!

Just let that sink in for a bit. 

Your thoughts and your emotions, in part, create the environment that can determine the health of your cells. THIS IS POWERFUL!
