Inflammation, Changing Perception with Perspective
On the Gut-Brain connection for optimal living and the Unconditional Positive Regard for another and ourselves
Being non judging of another is I imagine for all of us an unconscious want.
We may be often times unconscious of how many times we judge in the day of others exploits and those thoughts fill our cells that forms the way in which we move about in life, with whom we gather and what conversations and notions of the world we imbibe.
Do we feed the judge or the un-judging self?
I want to share a note I just sent on text to someone I met at the pool a few days ago. We met yesterday for Lunch to talk about health. Specifically about their hip OA and what they could do to heal and stave off a THR.
We had a wonderful conversation at a “Terry Approved” restaurant called “Flower Child.” By the way my step son Remi is a GM at the one in Boulder, Colorado. There are no Seed Oils ( causes inflammation) used but for small amounts of Sunflower oil, otherwise it is extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and everything sustainably gathered.
Here is a taste of the new digs in Southern Nevada. Look em up in your neighborhood.
Onto the text I wrote this morning on Inflammation of the belly and the mind and thusly the Brain-gut connection to health.
Serotonin is predominantly created in the Gut( Enteric nervous system), less than 2% is derived from the brain ( a cluster of cells called the raphae nucleus of the brain stem.) It is as they may say in the media our “Happy” hormone.
If you are not happy then ask yourself why?…. and change it.
Simple not easy.
Need help call me.
On to the text this morning.
“Our mental-emotional inflammation is sometimes more important than how we consume our store bought nutrition.
I see our thoughts as a form of consumption.
The notion of one’s perception vs perspective, as in
Breaking the patterns that create the triggers that “inflames” us.
In our conversation I enjoyed listening to you speak of Dan and your ability to joke about his political beliefs, to be able to allow for understanding of another’s view point and know their heart is key to perspective, to good hearted relationship.
We are all different and yet we all yearn for the same need.
Perspective teaches us who we want to surround ourselves with.
Non judgement and unconditional positive regard for others is a key to reducing inflammation in our mind state and I would say is even more important than food because if we are emotionally upset our brain sends the neurochemistry to our body in the stress hormones which stops healing.
Bless your “Starbucks” coffee this morning and enjoy it. Studies demonstrate doing this changes the crystalline structure of the water molecule, making what is in it inert ( that is harmful to us)”
Blessings and Namaste,

In my efforts to live in awareness and consiousness in my inner and outer life, I often practice non judgment. I find that the more non-judgmental I become (for rarely more than a few minutes at a time), I become more aware of the judgments surrounding me in others. It's a great task to silence my "monkey chatter mind", even a greater task to keep my mouth shut...
