The Underestimated Source of Your Physical Pain Many people will go to the doctor after experiencing some form of unfamiliar pain. Though, what most don’t know is that in order to fix these ailments, one must consider their past and present emotional well-being. This is important as most of the time, physical pain stems from unresolved negative emotions such as feeling abandoned or conflicted. The idea of physical problems coming from emotional troubles birthed long ago. It was common knowledge among

In this experiment, Eisenberger, Master, Inagaki, Taylor, Shirinyan, Lieberman, and Naliboff further research the hypothesis that attachment figures may act as safety signal to an individual during a threatening experience observing changes in neural mechanism to support this theory, specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the neural region involved in signalling safety and reducing stress and threat. The researchers inflicted painful stimuli upon female participants who were involved

“No, no, NO!” Tomm screamed desperately as he clawed through the air in a pointless endeavor to reach the bedpost. He should have seen the signs. Usually, by this point he would have found a safe place to hide. “I’m sorry! I’M SORRY! I PLEASE PUT ME DOWN! I’M SORRY!” Jenifer watched smugly as he struggled, her abnormally bright green eyes gleaming in the faint glow of the ancient Duck Detective nightlight. “PLEASE!” Tomm shouted once more. The bedpost was beyond his grasp, a physical representation

Insomina-Related Thoughts and Behaviors” Jim Oxtoby, Sandy Sacre, and Janine Lurie-Beck elaborate for us readers who can fully grasp the overall background knowledge of how to maintain insomnia with music listening. In 2002, Harvey’s Cognitive Model supports this hypothesis in which it classifies university students and their behavior when dealing with sleep. The students where then positioned by identifying how well they slept, whether it was poor or good sleep. Lastly they were used

My idea of a perfect school is one that incorporates magic into its teaching, one that gives every student a chance to excel, one that nurtures its students and in return gets well-rounded students that are proud of their school. There are only two schools in the world that fit this description - Archbishop Mitty, and Hogwarts. The magical school from the world of Harry Potter is a school which appeals to me; however, I never got my acceptance letter, so I set my heart upon its non-magical counterpart

CC Insomnia. Toe pain S The patient is a 50-year-old female who has been seeing Dr. Lynch to help with her sleep issues. She did not however undergo a sleep study. She has been using melatonin 3 mg at night, which has been helpful to get her to fall asleep. She tells me however that she generally wakes up almost every night between one and two o'clock in the morning and can have some difficulty getting back to sleep. She states that she is a person who requires at least nine hours of a good

detailed analysis of the brain’s inner mechanisms via both observation and manipulation. Optogenetics was first described in his seminal paper “Millisecond-timescale, genetically targeted optical control of neural activity”, published in Nature Neuroscience in 2005. The paper described the particular details of the methodology (which happened to win Nature Method’s “Method of the Year” award), such as the exploitation of an algal gene to induce sensitivity to light. Since then, it has been cited numerous

When the frontal cortex shuts down, brain chemical dopamine levels spike and another brain chemical called serotonin gets reduced, as stated by the Daily Mail UK, we label it as an emotion; perhaps the most dangerous one in the world. However, you may know it better as an intense, romantic feeling of deep affection or in other words, love. In William Shakespeare’s infamous sixteenth century tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the so-called love between two young and inexperienced adolescents proves to be more

Jake rolled to his side, stretched his cramped leg muscles, and kicked his feet against the arm of the settee. He had to sleep—with sleep came escape from the day's failures. His vengeance would never die, but it made no sense to go any further. Kat would miss the reward, but he wouldn't leave her destitute. With money and decent clothes, she'd catch a man's attention. Shifting again, he jerked his shirt over his head and threw it against the wall. The thought of her with another man bothered him

Forward helix earrings are used in the cartilage of the ear. Normally, they grow smaller as they progress from the fold of the ear towards the interior. They can range from 14 to 16 gauge depending on whether you want them to stretch. Before changing out the original piercing studs, make sure you've waited enough time for the piercings to heal adequately. Kinzie Fashion has Set of 3 Sizes Cartilage Studs that are 16 gauge made from surgical, stainless steel. The bar on the studs is 1/4 of an inch
