Very good advice, Dr. H. Strengthening the inner signal from body to brain is what keeps us healthy, mentally as well as physically. I believe that the proponderance of people have not ever learned how to read their signals. I have friends who have unexplained joy at times, others who wonder why life is so difficult for them and are never able to figure out why.

For those of us who have experienced profound depression, our signal from the vagus nerve at some times in our lives is apparently null and void. For those of us who have escaped the throes of this crippling illness, is to experience what is right or wrong in our lives in a much deeper and finely tuned manner. That indeed is a true blessing because reading our own barometer more closely allows us to read others more closely as well. Then emerges a great desire to extend one's self to others much more deeply. Life becomes incredibly richer.

Asking people to listen closer to their inner voice sometimes doesn't get it. They have to want to "get it" or they have to understand the pathway to "getting it" before they're able to read themselves. I guess it's a different joruney of discovery for each of us.

I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Your rhetoric about her continuing presence affected me profoundly. Aren't we humans lucky to have God reveal so clearly the inner spirit of those we have lost so that their spirits can nurture and sustain us through our period of grief.

May God be with you.

Fondly,
Jenna Stiles
