Hormones as spiritual guide.

[Guest guest]

Endorphin

----------

 

This hormone gives feeling

of well-being and happiness. It boosts

immune system and it eases depression

and anxiety. Among other things this

hormone is found to be related to

running and meditation. Both running

and mediation increases secretion of

this hormone in the body.

 

 

Adrenaline(Epinephrine)

----------------------

 

Epinephrine is a " fight or flight " hormone.

Epinephrine plays a central role in the

short-term stress reaction-the

physiological response to threatening,

exciting, or environmental stressor

conditions such as high noise levels or

bright light (see Fight-or-flight

response). It increases heart rate and

stroke volume, dilates the pupils, and

constricts arterioles in the skin and

gut while dilating arterioles in leg

muscles. It elevates the blood sugar

level by increasing catalysis of

glycogen to glucose in the liver. Like

some other stress hormones, epinephrine

has a suppressive effect on the immune

system.

 

 

While endorphin can and does keep

us in the zone of natural peace,

relaxation, joy and love;

net affect of Adrenaline is to take

us out of peace and relaxation and

into elevated stress and excitement.

 

 

For the purpose of this message, I

will call Endorphin spiritually " aligned "

hormone and Adrenaline, spiritually

" wrong " hormone and using that as a

guide, I would like to produce list of

spiritually aligned and misaligned

activities based on my first-hand

personal experience.
