This can be an uncomfortable subject as it has to do with our behavior. Choosing a vegetarian diet is not only an act of self-love, but also an action of environmental stewardship. Many clients communicate that on a spiritual level they desire to be a vegetarian, but in the past when they have attempted a vegetarian lifestyle they experienced discomfort (fatigue, break-outs, etc.)
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a field of research that deals with the interaction of the central nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system, and how these systems can be altered through behavior and stress. The immune, nervous, and endocrine systems communicate to maintain health. All is interconnected, all levels, all existing. The interest in PNI is the effects of thought and emotion on our health. Stress affects the entire Be-ing, nerves, cells, tissues, and systems of the body (individual and global). Stress if held, can disrupt nervous, endocrine, and immune system functioning resulting in “dis-ease.” What is our body communicating to us? Our Home, Take Care.
