Tuning Our Emotions Through Our Glands

Tuning Our Emotions Through Our Glands

Emotional States In The Body

Emotions always have roots in the unconscious and manifest in the body. Our thoughts create emotional patterns and resultant physiological outcomes. Emotions possess the power to lock and store memory in the cellular structures of the human form.
