The largest cardiologist GF Lang wrote: "The factor causing hypertension is overstrain and mental traumatization of the emotional sphere." In 1965, a session of the Academy of Medical Sciences devoted to cardiovascular diseases fully confirmed the opinion of G. F. Lang that overstrain of the nervous system and negative psychological stimuli are the leading factors in the development of many cardiovascular diseases. Here, at the session, the following data were presented, in particular: myocardial infarction is preceded by acute mental trauma in 20 percent, chronic mental trauma - in 35 percent, overstrain at work - in 30 percent of cases. Thus, in more than half of the cases, the occurrence of a heart attack was facilitated by a negative mental stimulus.

At the same time, one should not think that any overstrain of the nervous system, any negative stimuli predispose to the development of severe heart diseases. Let us recall the blockade, when we were starving, all the time there was a threat of death, if not from hunger, then from bullets and shells, and there were not so many heart attacks then, less, in any case, than in peaceful days. This is also confirmed by the information that I received during my trip to Vietnam, which was engulfed in the war. At that time, the whole country was subjected to aerial bombardment, day and night the alarm was declared every now and then, any movement on the roads was possible only at night, death was on duty everywhere, sowing grief and suffering, and in the hospital there were only 5 patients with cardiovascular diseases. percent of patients with hypertension - 1, 9 percent, and patients with myocardial infarction were registered only eight in six years!

It turns out that not every negative stimulus is the cause of serious heart disease! I repeat again, rudeness, rudeness, unworthy human behavior, meanness, meanness and other actions that you feel powerless to stop, but they indignant your whole being, are destructive to the heart.

The feeling of fear also plays a significant role. But not fear of death or suffering for a just and noble cause, which sometimes can even strengthen a person. And that fear for yourself, for your relatives, when you realize that some rude and ignorant person threatens you, can really do something bad, although you did not deserve such an attitude towards yourself, that this person is unfair, but using his the right of the strong, not only undeservedly offends you, but can humiliate you and by his actions cause you and your family great, irreparable harm …

The nature of human emotions

Emotions, feelings, experiences, worries, suffering, inspiration and disappointment, love and jealousy, sublimity and hopelessness, and many other manifestations of our soul fill our life from the first cry with which we came into this world and until the last breath with which we we leave it.

Beautiful and terrible, sublime and low, noble and vile manifestations of human nature are associated with the emotional state of our soul.

So, what are these emotions, which play such a significant role in the life of each of us?

What functions do they carry in themselves, and what is their nature?

Is it possible to explain this natural phenomenon, or are the poets right who glorified human feelings in their creations and wrote that, for example, love cannot be explained, but if an explanation is found, then it is not love.

Of course, everyone wants to touch something mysterious, enigmatic, which sometimes captures us completely. But if, in addition, an understanding of this miracle appears, there will be more happy people, much less broken hearts and destinies …

So what is the nature of emotion ?!

In the full sense, one can speak of emotions only when nervous systems arise in living organisms during the evolution of life. Although, even single-celled organisms react to changes in the environment.

If chemically aggressive substances appeared in the immediate vicinity of them, unicellular organisms were removed from the danger zone to a safe distance, after which they returned to normal activity.

Let's first define what emotions and feelings are.

Emotions, feelings are the reaction of a living organism to changes in the EXTERNAL and INTERNAL environments

All of them can be divided into two main groups - protective emotional responses and emotional reactions associated with procreation.

Moreover, both groups of reactions are observed in almost all living organisms - from the simplest to the highest.

Each new evolutionary stage in the development of life led both to the emergence of new emotional reactions and to the enrichment of existing ones.

Let's consider each group of emotional reactions separately. Let's start with the analysis protective.

All variations of defense reactions have one purpose - preservation of life each specific individual.

Yes, it is easy to understand - only individuals who survived in the struggle for life are capable and able to give offspring and continue their race.

So, let's try to find out how protective emotional reactions help living beings in their struggle for survival.

When danger appeared, only individuals with an instant reaction did not become dinner or a victim of their enemies.

Everyone knows very well that adrenaline, produced by the adrenal glands, is released into the blood from fear. In this state, people, for example, beat all records in speed, jumping distance, physical strength. Then everyone just wonders how they did it.

Attempts to repeat their own "records" have failed to anyone. What is the reason for this phenomenon?

Let's try to understand the nature of this most curious phenomenon of the human psyche.

At the moment of fright, adrenaline is released into the blood of a person, it would seem, an explanation has been found. But, let's not rush to conclusions, but think a little about this physiological phenomenon of our body.

From the adrenal glands, adrenaline enters the blood vessels, the veins, through which the blood delivers it to the heart.

Before proceeding with the analysis of what is happening at the moment of fright, let us remember that the blood moves through the veins, thanks to the wave-like contractions of the annular muscles. At the same time, a slight pressure drop is created.

This means that adrenaline will reach the heart in a few seconds. Through the inferior vena cava, the blood carrying adrenaline enters the right atrium, then into the right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta.

From the aorta, through the small circle of blood circulation, adrenaline enters the brain, by and large - into the muscles of the body.

As a result, in just a few seconds, adrenaline reaches the muscles.

But, as even a child understands, these few seconds will be enough for an attacking predator to get himself the much-desired dinner.

Probably, each of us has experienced the impact of fear or fear, which manifests itself almost instantly.

A current penetrates the body, the hair stands on end, forces appear from nowhere, and now, we are already saved …

How does all this happen?

Where do extraordinary forces come from that we did not even know about?

It should be noted that the mechanisms of the influence of emotions on the survival of a living organism have evolved over billions of years of life development.

And their main function is preserving the life of an individual as a carrier of genetic information, without which, development and continuation of life is impossible.

This is understandable - in order that this species could give offspring and persist in the course of the evolution of life, the first thing that is needed is - presence of individualsthat this offspring is able to give.

Therefore, only species of living organisms that have developed effective methods of regulating the distribution of the potential of a living organism in moments of danger were able to survive in the struggle for survival.

Let's remember that every cell of any organism, upon splitting, releases primary matter.

Further, these primary matters are distributed between all the levels that this cell has (see Fig. 36). Which, in turn, causes the most effective interaction between all levels of the cell.

Only in this case, the cell is able to cope with the maximum load and, with minimal damage, perform its functions. Moreover, each cell of a multicellular organism has several functions:

1. Customizedrelated to her own life support

2. Functionalassociated with its work in the interests of the entire multicellular organism

3. Protectiveassociated with the preservation of the integrity of the multicellular organism, of which it is part.

It is clear that the cell spends part of its potential to perform each of these functions. In case of extreme situations, the cell should have the maximum of its potential to provide protective functions, for a while, neglecting all others.

At the same time, the cell operates in a critical mode, during which it receives maximum damage.

Damage is caused by the fact that, during a critical mode of operation, slags accumulate in the cell, which simply do not have time to leave the cell. This is because the movement of plasma through the intercellular space occurs as a result of residual blood pressure.

Under the influence of blood pressure, plasma is squeezed out of the capillaries into the intercellular space. Since the liquid is incompressible, the next portion of the plasma simply squeezes the previously received plasma forward, which creates the movement of the plasma in the intercellular space.

Slowly moving plasma collects in the lymphatic vessels and then returns to the bloodstream.

The retention of toxins inside the cell leads to the fact that they, being chemically active substances, begin to enter into chemical reactions with the molecules of the cell itself. This leads to deterioration and disruption of intracellular processes.

Therefore, after each stressful load, the cell needs a recovery period, sometimes quite long, during which the cell is completely or almost completely restored.

With frequent stressful loads, the cell does not have time to recover and its rapid destruction occurs.

The ability of cells to self-repair can be very diverse, both in different types of multicellular organisms, and in different individuals of the same species.

In addition, during the life of one and the same individual, the ability of self-recovery varies within fairly wide limits. Cells that have received significant damage die and are later replaced by new ones.

So, let's, now let's analyze what happens to the cell, when critical operation and how our emotions relate to it …

During normal functioning, the primary matter released during splitting is distributed between all levels of the cell (see Fig. 38).

Moreover, the primary matter G enters into the qualitative composition of all cellular levels (bodies) and, accordingly, is absorbed by them, during normal cell activity.

Each cell body - etheric, astral or mental, is saturated with the corresponding primary matters.

The etheric body of the cell filled only with primary matter G, while astral - G and F, the first mental - G, F and E.

Thus, the primary matter released during splitting G distributed over all levels of the cell.

And this only means that each of these levels receives part of the "portion" of the primary matter G, which "produces", when splitting, a physically dense cell.

Moreover, each of these bodies of the cell is saturated to a certain critical level, after which there is a reverse flow of primary matters from these levels in the direction of the physically dense cell.

It is this circuit of primary matters that provides the process that everyone calls A LIFE …

So, the etheric body of the cell retains a part of the primary matter G, while the remainder is distributed among the rest of the levels.

Let us recall that the activity of the etheric body determines the activity of physiological processes in cells, which, in turn, means what kind of physical activity is able to withstand, both each cell individually and the whole organism as a whole.

Hence, the greater the proportion of primary matter G remains at the etheric level, the more powerful the physically dense cell and the organism as a whole must be.

The question is how to "force" the primary matter G accumulate only at the etheric level of the cell, while, during the normal mode of the cell, all the levels that this cell has, and the primary matter are active G distributed among all of them (see Fig. 36 and Fig. 38).

For this to happen, a "barrier" must appear between the etheric and astral levels.

Only in this case, the primary matter G will begin to accumulate at the etheric level of the cell and the physiological capabilities of the cell and, as a result, the whole organism as a whole, will increase many times (see Fig. 39).

So, where does this "flap" come from at the moment of danger?

So, this "damper" creates, through emotion, essence …

Yes it is emotions are the key that closes and opens certain levels of the essence and, thereby, regulates the activation of various qualities and capabilities that a given individual possesses.
