"Cannon on "the negative effects of the negative emotions on body chemistry." Reviewing the findings of these men, Cousins put it to the readers of NEJM that they might have told only half the story: What about the positive emotions?

Do chemical changes occur only on the downside?47 Cousins decided it was in his interest to find out." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"The only other evidence of group mind had been a provocative little double-blind exercise carried out by Dean Radin, who was interested in the claims of Japanese alternative medicine practitioner Masaru Emoto that the structure of water crystals is affected by positive and negative emotions.20 Emoto claims to have carried out hundreds of tests showing that even a single word of positive intent or negative intent profoundly changes the water's internal organization." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "The water subjected to the positive intent supposedly develops a beautiful, highly complex crystalline structure when frozen, whereas the structure of water exposed to negative emotions became random, disordered, even grotesque. The most positive results supposedly occur with feelings of love or gratitude. Radin placed two vials of water in a shielded room in his laboratory at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, California. Meanwhile, a group of 2,000 attendees at one of Emoto's conferences in Japan was shown a photo of the vials and asked to send them a prayer of gratitude." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"He identified long-term experiences of fear, frustration, anxiety, and disappointment as examples of the kind of heightened negative emotions that are destructive to the heart and put us at risk. Each is part of a broader umbrella that we commonly identify as "hurt." Additional studies support the existence of this relationship. Therapist Tim Laurence, codirector of the Hoffman Institute in England, describes the potential impact of our failure to heal and forgive old hurts and disappointments. "At the very least," he says, "it cuts you off from good health." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Clearly, this study, along with others, isn't suggesting that it's bad or unhealthy to feel negative emotions in the short term. When we do encounter these feelings in life, they are indicators—personal gauges—telling us that we've had an experience that's asking for attention and healing. It's only when we ignore them, and the beliefs that underlie them, and they go on for months, years, or a lifetime without being resolved that they may become a problem." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"The investigation showed that anger and intense negative emotions could increase the risk of stroke by as much as fourteen times. In 2002, cardiologists at the University Hospital in Zurich found that mental stress causes the inner layer of the blood vessels to constrict, which may increase the risk of a heart attack or a stroke. Their study provided the first evidence that mental stress induces endothelial dysfunction. Stress takes many forms. Doctors frequently see heartbreak and grief—such as the loss of a spouse or a stressful career—translate into heart disease." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The emotional suffocation caused so much anger and frustration in Mary, that for fear of not being loved or liked by others, including her parents, she targeted these negative emotions at her own body. Her "toxic" mind translated into a toxic body, and it threatened Mary's very survival. She threatened the health of the cells of her body by keeping her most important thoughts and feelings to herself. Whatever you keep to yourself out of fear of being criticized or hurt, actually turns into poisons in the body." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Suddenly, we may begin to realize how deeply we have harbored intense negative emotions toward others or ourselves, or we may notice why we have allowed certain foods, beverages, or drugs such as painkillers, steroids, and antibiotics to contaminate and congest our beautiful body. Cancer is a wakeup call, prompting us to take our life back where it is no more. The alarm bell that sounds to wake us up rings painfully loud, which is good because we are more likely to respond to physical than to emotional pain." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"There is hope for Tina, but focusing on a family genetic history she can't control will only generate negative emotions, including depression. It's true, most of us know someone who can eat anything and not gain a pound. It may not seem fair, but blame and envy don't help us choose a smaller portion of a healthy meal. They don't help us feel joy about our amazing bodies or motivate us to get off the couch and maximize our own personal biochemical makeup. Tina had no part in creating her genetics, but she could cook up a beneficial environment in which her genes operate." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) "And among the strongest of these negative emotions is hate. HATE AND YOUR FATE Most of us are familiar with the visceral nature of hate. We have so many synonyms for it, words like despise, detest, and loathe, and all seem to connote our body's physical rejection of the thing we cannot stand to be near. We even say the things we hate make us sick. But because hatred is such an extreme and base emotion, it's all too easy for us to misdirect our hatred, to deceive ourselves with respect to who and what our enemies are. Meet Nancy." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"This phobia makes you avoid negative emotions at any cost because you're overly frightened of what your feelings mean and where they might lead you. For example, I've heard patients say that if they didn't eat they would cry for days. But most people who have had a good cry know that once you stop clenching your throat and quivering your lip and let the tears come, you feel much lighter. You've probably been holding your feelings in for so long that you don't believe you can deal with them. This is normal. Feelings are the doorway you need to pass through." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"You can choose to move upward toward Brilliant Health or live in negative emotions and tumble downward. Why Is It Brilliant? First, when we embrace this system, we shine with the brilliance of radiant health. Second, it's brilliant because we engage our maximum intelligence and emotional wisdom through choices that elevate us both mentally and physically, even in the face of illness or disability. In essence, we bring brilliance to our body. Brilliant Health doesn't promise a disease-free, pain-free, un-aging life." - Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.)

All of the above are choices, whether based on attitude or will. Health is a choice. But so is disease! If we truly want to get healthy, we have to use the approach that really works. This is what Dr. Joel Robbins advises: We can whine, cry, psychoanalyze, blame, run, relive the past, hide the past, or resign ourselves to a particular wrong frame of mind or attitude." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The body may be calling for rest from the depleting negative emotions of worry, anxiety, fear, anger, hatred, and guilt, and for a healthier diet and the detoxification of acid congestion in its organs and tissues. Obesity Excess fat storage in the body is the result of consuming a greater quantity of acid and toxic calories than the body can properly metabolize and eliminate.

"It's been suggested that the orienting response somehow disrupts the traumatic memory network and interrupts previous associations to negative emotions. It's also been suggested that the investigatory reflex itself is like a psychic deep breathing in that it results in a basic relaxation response. None of these theories are mutually exclusive. Whatever the underlying neurobiology, the treatment works." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Back in 1987, while walking in the park and thinking about some personal distressing memories, she happened to notice that eye movements appeared to decrease the negative emotions associated with them. Like many great innovators in healing (or in science, for that matter), she expanded on what was essentially a fortuitous personal discovery, began experimenting, developed a theory, put it to the test, and eventually developed the treatment approach that is now EMDR.

"If negative emotions produce negative chemical changes in the body, wouldn't the positive emotions produce positive chemical changes? Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence and the will to live have therapeutic value? Do chemical changes occur only on the downside?47 Cousins decided it was in his interest to find out. With the support of an open-minded doctor, he arranged to be checked out of the hospital and into a hotel ("I had a fast-growing conviction that a hospital was no place for a person who was seriously ill"), where he began to manage his own recovery." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "If chronic suppression of negative emotions could cause us to wheeze, develop high blood pressure, and crash our automobiles on the highways, could it also cause us to grow tumors? Did there exist, in other words, not just an "accident-prone" personality but a "cancer-prone" personality? Many thought so. As early as 1940, W. H. Auden had captured the emerging psychoanalytic consensus on what such a person might be like." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
