Neuropeptides as the Carries of Emotions

The hypothalamus is relatively isolated from the
“noise” (thoughts) of the cerebral cortex, so it can be utilized to identify
subtle energy without alteration. The hypothalamus receives biochemical
messages in response to information, or subtle energy that has been received by
the body “antenna”. This interface of how subtle level energy is
transformed into physiological signals is the ” the point of least
understanding”.
Dr. Candace Pert sees the connectedness of all
aspects of our system from a biochemical perspective, concluding “brain and
body make and receive the same messenger molecules in order to communicate
effectively. They speak the same language,” she says, “the language of
neuropeptides.”[i][i]
Neuropeptides are chemical messenger molecules that are received by receptor
molecules on the surface of the walls of cells, which regulate both
physiological functions and brain communication in the body. These
messengers may be how the limbic system communicates its identification of a
stress or change through the rest of the body.
Dr. Pert believes that “emotions are the key
element that effects the conversion of mind to matter in the body.”[ii][ii] She has found that emotions and stress levels determine the
effectiveness of the body’s capacity for cellular defense. Another
researcher, Dr. Lydia Temoshok, defines neuropeptides as “a universal language
by which cells from different biological systems interact and alter each
other’s behaviour. They are a medium of exchange, and what they share is
information.”
