On the Couch with Chris

One of my weekly rituals is that there are some podcasts that I listen to by inspirational speakers. Normally they are mainly about faith and Christian stuff and I know not everyone is into that so that's why I haven't blogged or promoted it before. But the one I listened to this morning is one that I absolutely have to blog about. This week, Christine Caine is interviewing this Dr. Caroline Leaf. She is a Dr. who has been always interested in how the brain works (neurons, pathways etc) and has dones studies into brain injuries and rehabilitation.
The doctor wasn't a Christian when she started her studies and only embraced the faith much later on. And Dr. Caroline Leaf had some amazing stuff to share on this weeks podcast about how our minds are wired in relation to faith. Traditional thinking says that you are controlled by your genetics and your genetics determine your outcome. But new scientific discoveries show that your genetics and actually controlled by your thoughts and your thoughts wired the direction of your genetics. So what you think in your head is actually programming and wiring the setup of your body.
And it gets even more interesting than that! According to Dr. Caroline, new studies are showing that your genetics are wired to "faith based" thinking and believing. In other words, your brain is naturally wired and programmed to want to go in a direction of having faith in a higher power. Interesting! There is a tons more that was in the podcasts. She talks about healing from abuse, that when you've been abused, there's actually damage has done to the wiring and your brain actually has to go through the process of rewiring your system to heal.
Of course she puts in more technical and scientific-al terms than I am writing in here but the podcasts is worth a listen no matter what background you are from or what belief system that you have. You can access Christine Caine's podcasts on my website here. Just look on the sidebar and it is the section that comes just before my photos of Buenos Aires. The podcasts I was referring to in this email was called "On the Couch with Chris" and I promise you that it is nothing less than fascinating.
