How to feel good

The inverted (upside down) produces a truly extraordinary influx of blood to the brain, influencing the glandular system contributing to revitalize the entire body.

Furthermore, because when we are standing bodies tend to go down and surrender, becoming less active when it receives a good massage upside down is gaining momentum, lucidity, intellectual vivacity and good humor.

Also in the Indian yoga-inter alia-the asanas (postures) invested with the body are used to revitalize and rejuvenate the entire body: "increases blood flow, body temperature rises, enriches the blood haemoglobin while improving respiration and digestion, "explained the old texts. Benefits also ensures that the Acro-Sage.
Try to believe.

Brain planetarium

One of the more plausible explanations for the existence of extraterrestrial intervention on our planet is precisely the failure to find evidence or missing when they are within easy reach. Our super civilized visitors not want their exploration work is interrupted by advertising.

Is it a concrete plan to alter life on the planet or rather, as it seems, an investigation of our actions for an experiment whose purpose eludes us? Is there a universal blueprint, concerning an entire group of galaxies, where different lifestyles tested, desperately, methods of survival to enjoy a higher intelligence? It is a cruel assumption, but plausible.

Our visitors would control a series of laboratories in different planets suns, where species such as humans, is to grab difficult situations to build their lives.

The symptoms of anger

First of all, anger is a totally impulsive behavior, which is triggered automatically.

For this, is that we must learn to detect those early indicators that our body sends to the brain, if it is to come into this state.

You described the symptoms of which you are talking about, so you can prevent behaviors that often are involuntary, such immediacy in which they generate.

Ordinarily, the body will let you know when you're angry or angry. Your breathing accelerates, and your heart beating gallop instead. The face turns red, your muscles tense, and involuntarily close and tighten your fists.


Immediately, feel the need to break something or hit or hitting someone.

The anger can take to lift the tone of your voice, and even to scream. Many times, shouting to people they normally have a good relationship.

Some people hide their anger in the depths of his being. This is not good, because it can lead to stomach aches or head, and then generate a high degree of depression.

A situation considered unfair that produces anger, for example, that someone take your place in a row, you fire in a spectrum of negative thoughts, those who cause you can not see and analyze clearly the best course of action.

The brain and your better saved secrets

"The brain is the better saved secret
of the nature"
(Eric Kandel, neuroscientist)

The French celebrated physician Alexis Carrel ended up saying that "of all the things that the man will know, the last will probably be him same." And you were in the certain thing. Nevertheless, you can that the man never ends up decrypting your more complex and more perfect organ completely: the brain. How do you originate the mental activity? Where are the memories stored? Why are we aware of our own one me? For what reason do we dream?... In spite of the advances gotten in the exploration neuroscientist, they are many queries as the previous slopes of finding definitive answers. But you are other more enigmatic questions that are not even outlined unanimously by the scientific community. Avant-garde theories as the holographic" "brain and you discipline as the Parapsychology that study those abilities more ignotas of our psyche, they are still contemplated with great mistrust by the neuroscientists that prefer to center your investigations in discovering the operation of the different fields of the brain, to discover the nature of the neurotransmitters and to localize the areas that control features like the intelligence, the memory or the emotions. Even this way, biochemical Francis Crick, discoverer of the molecular structure of the DNA, recognizes that "our knowledge of the different parts of the brain continues in a very primitive state (...) Everything is to discover..."

BIOLOGIC COMPUTER

Without a doubt, our brain acts as a sophisticated superordenador that, through an evolutionary slow and progressive process, you have left perfecting in your features until the point of differing qualitatively of the remainder of the alive beings. This mass of jellied tissue of gray color - of about 1.300 grams of weight - you contain around 100.000 million well-known cells with the name of "neurons" and that they constitute the alcoholatura drives of the nervous system. These cells, connected to each other through millions of branchings ("dendritas" and "axones", form a vast network that complete a very specific mission: to process the sensorial information, so much the one that arrive of the external world as of the own body. In a single second, these cells are able to process up to 200.000 million bits of information. For they are almost been worth it of your 100 quintillion interconnections. Although like the neurologist clarifies Santiago Ramón and Cajal Junquera - grandson of the celebrated one rewards medicine Nobel -, "the neurons are not connected to each other by a network contínua formed by your continuations, but rather they make it for contacts separated by some narrow spaces named synapsis." The neurotransmitters would be those in charge of transmitting those signals through the connections sinápticas.

But the brain possesses other fundamental features. One of them is that you are constituted by two symmetrical halves, divided by a longitudinal deep furrow, with very different, although interrelated features. The left hemisphere governs the logical, verbal and analytic pansy; the right hemisphere, on the contrary, is in charge of of the subjective, emotional and creative part. In turn, the cerebral hemispheres are divided in four lobes: frontal, related with the knowledge and the intelligence; storm, with the auditory area; parietal, with the sensorial area; and occipital, with the visual area. In your interior, the brain also possesses two cores, the thalamus and the hipotálamo, centers of the nervous stand-alone system. Other main parts are: the cerebellum, located in the later part of the skull that govern the balance and the muscular movements; and the brainstem, of which the spinal cord that control the respiratory feature leave. The language, a present ability only in the man, you would be controlled by a series of centers dispensed in the peripheries of the temporary lobe of the cerebral córtex. As for the memory, the neuroscientists consider that you are not localized in a concrete field, but rather you would be dispensed by the whole brain.

Another particularity of our brain is that you emit a series of electric waves of different frequency - product of your electrochemical activity - that can be registered by means of the electroencephalogram (EEG). They are: the waves beta (whose rhythm oscillates per second between 14 and 25 cycles), present in the state of vigil, that is to say, when we are carrying out some activity like to work, to read, to walk, etc.; the waves alpha (from 8 to 13 c / sg.), related with the relaxation states and meditation; the waves zed (from 4 to 7 c / sg.), with the emotional and creative states; and the waves delta (from 0,5 to 3 c / sg.), enabled during the deep dream. But our brain hides other surprises... By the middle of the seventy some substances neurorreguladoras were detected that were baptized with the name of "endorphins" and (opiate endogenous) that they complete a similar paper to the one of having determined derivative alkaloids of the opium. This drug biochemistry is released by the brain to alleviate us a pain or to provoke us a pleasant sensation. Today is one of the fields of more important investigation of the pharmacology.

But in spite of all these alcoholatura knowledge that have left acquiring in the last decades thanks to the technological (mainly with the use of the Tomography for Emission of Positrones and with the Magnetic Nuclear Resonance) up-to-date advances, the reputed neurobiologist José M. Thin Rodríguez notices us in your work "The Control of the Mind" that "the anatomy and the physiology of the brain are very important aspects to know your static and your dynamics, but these data don't reveal us the mystery of the signals that you/they circulate for the neurons, neither your code system, and much less your meaning." In sum, we know the anatomic and structural organization of the brain, but very little envelope very well your features (only 20% according to some experts).

IMMATERIAL ENTITY

The duality mind-brain continues generating an intense debate among philosophers, psychologists and neurofisiólogos. We are taught that the mental activity is product of cerebral complex mechanisms, but you have not still been possible to define with what an accuracy you are the mind. Are you about a spiritual entity, the soul, like the old philosophers believed?... According to the neuroscientists, the mind cannot exist however without your material support that are the brain, your features and capacities reach unsuspected levels and they make question the assumptions mechanics. Certainly, you are difficult to think that concepts like the love, the religious sense, the imagination, the intuition, the artistic creativity, the musical sensibility, etc. have an origin exclusively neurofisiológico. That without referring to deeper questions as the collective unconscious, the conscience transpersonal and the abilities PSI, for example. On the other hand, the neuroscientists neither agree in determining if the mental activity already appears in the intra-uterine life, if you begin in the moment to be born or if you are developed in later stages. And much less they are able to explain how the conscience of the arises in our brain Me ("the one bigger than the miracles", according to Karl Popper). But and if the mind is an intelligent standalone property of the brain? and if you exist previously to all that manifested?... Let us remind the hermetical axiom "the universe you are mental" that now it is defended by interested many physiques of vanguard by the phenomenon of the conscience. And you are that the scientific new paradigms are outlining astonishing theories related with the human mind that make wobble the materialistic pattern of the brain, I eat later we will see.

A BY-PRODUCT OF THE BRAIN?

How can the cerebral processes give place to the conscious test?... Complicated dilemma is outlined to the neuroscientists that try to approach the problem of the conscience, the biggest enigma in our psyche. The mathematician and philosopher David J. Chalmers points out on her that "anything is that we know in a more direct way, but you are dificilísimo to reconcile it with the remainder of our knowledge." And you are that in spite of the elaborated theories reduccionistas outlined for scientific of the size of Christof Kock, Daniel Dennett or Roger Penrose - this last even applying the quantum pattern -, you are not possible for the time being to explain the conscience in yes. And perhaps, like they sustain the most pessimistic, you be not possible never...

To understand the mental world in terms of the physical world is not anything plain and until the moment all attempt has been useless to clear our doubts. And you are that you are a vital question: are you able to the human mind to be understood itself?... But the thing doesn't end up there. Anomalous determined phenomena make think that the conscience is not limited to the narrow barriers of the brain, that which leave in interdict the materialistic vision that the conscience is not more than kind of a biocomputador. The equation "mentions = brain" is not, because, as clear as we are wanted to make believe for three centuries. The outstanding psychologist Charles T. Tart points in this respect that don't fit the smallest doubt that certain aspects of the mind and of the conscience they depend, partial or totally, of the operation of the brain and of the nervous system. Nevertheless, certain phenomena that seem a standalone point of the physical limitations imposed by the brain exist and they force us to confront the problem from another perspective." This way, the remote vision, the projection extracorpórea and the near tests to the death (ECM) evidence that the conscience doesn't decrease to our three-dimension frame but rather it can transcend the frontiers of the space and the time and even to expand at other levels of the reality. "The expansion of the conscience involves a gradual development, a historical evolution that go from the unconscious thing to the conscious thing, from the inferior thing to the higher thing, of the individual thing to the social thing, of the personal thing to the transpersonal and of the transpersonal to the general purpose" thing, Ana affirms Mª González Garza, psychology teacher in the Ibero-American University of Mexico.

These well-known theories as "interaccionistas-dualists" that suggest that our me conscious and the brain is standalone entities although they interact to each other, they are based, among other things, in two reasons: the first in that the laws of the physics, chemistry and biology don't offer any investigation on the emergence of this entity called immaterial conscience (at least, your existence is incompatible with the natural" "laws that he/she show up us today the materialistic science); and the second in that the biologists evolucionistas have not been able to explain the gradual development of the conscience since consider causally this ineffective.

In this point, we should meditate, like you propose the philosopher and prize Nobel of Medicine John C. Eccles, on the big ones polling that subsist regarding the action of our brain, to your relationship with the mind, to the creativity of our imagination and the singularity of the psyche.

THE DEEP MIND

The Austrian neuropsiquiatra Sigmund Freud, one of the main founders of the up-to-date psychology, inserted at the end of the XIX century the "unconscious" concept to designate "those latent representations of those that we have some foundation to suspect that they are contained in the psychic" life. Almost all our psychic activity comes from that submerged field of our mind. But are you in a certain place of the brain?... According to some neuroscientists like Jonathan Winson, the unconscious would be localized in a primitive area of the brain (that you involve to the hippocampus, to the system límbico and the front cortex) whose mechanism arises in the beginning of the evolution of the mammalias and that you were fundamental for the survival. However, like Dr points. Charles Brenner, "nobody has still demonstrated the electric analogy or chemistry of a pansy, and exactly it is the pansy what occupy totally to the psychoanalysis." Of what you are not doubt it is that our desires, complex, fears, feelings and instincts (pulsiones) rest in the unconscious, which condition, in good measure, our personality. For an ethical and rational sense, those contents mental unconscious are censored and repressed, although they fight to become conscious (through the dreams they get an outlet channel being expressed by means of a symbolic language). The psychoanalytic studio of the dreams and the investigations on neurotic fellows were good Freud to give a treatment approach to this new psychology of the unconscious. Without a doubt, the Freudian doctrine - that have been many times object of controversy for your defense of the hypnosis and for your particular interpretation of the infantile sexuality - you have carried out a remarkable contribution to the knowledge of the psychic world and, for ende, you have been good to deepen more in the human complex behavior.

But an individual unconscious doesn't only exist. The Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, pupil of Freud, considered that you are also a collective" "unconscious. With this denomination, Jung referred to kind of a substrate or psychic general purpose "file" that it contain symbolic main images ("archetypes", common to all the cultures that have left manifesting throughout the times in the religious beliefs, the mythology, the esoterism, the legends, the dreams and also in the art. "I have chosen the expression 'collective' because this unconscious is not of individual nature - Jung writes -, but general, that is to say that in contrast with the individual psyche has contents and behavior modes that are everywhere the same ones and in all the individuals. In other words, you are identical to itself in all the men and you constitute this way a psychic foundation of nature existing suprapersonal in all man..."

A NEW PARADIGM

Some contemporary scientists as the neurofisiólogo Karl Pribam or biochemical Rupert Sheldrake has enunciated certain revolutionary assumptions on the brain and the human psyche in those that it are very present the notion junguiana of the "mind grupal." The first of them formulated, at the beginning of the seventy, a suggestive theory according to which the brain operates as a hologram, having access to an all adult. Your holographic "model of the brain" considers that the memory and the intelligence are not in a determined area of the brain but rather they are spread by everything him. Each part contains to the everything, like you happen in a holographic board. This theory would be supported soon after by the works of physical David Bohm on the involved" "order who would also consider the universe like kind of a hologram (a new approach of the reality that are known as "the holographic" paradigm emerged this way and that you count every time with in favor). Sheldrake, on the other hand, published in 1981 an interesting one and polemic works titled "A new life science" in which exposed your hypothesis of the formative" "causación, according to which the memory is inherent to the nature and not, therefore, a product of the brain. This heterodox scientist outlines the existence of a collective memory also - to the one that name "fields morfogenéticos" - that act beyond the space and of the time, determining the habits, forms and the alive beings' behaviors, and also transmitting to each organism the knowledge accumulated by your specie. "According to this theory, the memories should not be necessarily stored inside the brain since the habits and the memories of events last concretes can happen for resonance mórfica with states previous of the same organism", Sheldrake argues.

ABILITIES PSI

So much Freud and Jung, as later on Pribam and Sheldrake, they were attracted by the border phenomena of the mind. Your investigations took to the world of the paranormal thing hopelessly. The parents of the up-to-date psychology didn't only study certain inexplicable phenomena, but rather they were main characters of some of them (Freud wrote in 1921 an interesting article titled "Psychoanalysis and telepathy" and Jung you picked up paranormal several cases in your work autobiographical "Memories, Dreams, Pansies" of 1961; they were also members of celebrated "Society for Psychical Research" of London). As for Karl's theory Pribam, if our brain can consent to a "realm of holistic" frequency, outside of our borders space-storms, you charge felt abilities like the telepathy, the remote" "vision or the psicokinesis, and transcendent tests as the mystic" "states. "If we have ESP or paranormal phenomena - Pribam assures -, that means simply that we are reading in another dimension in that moment. Not we can understand it to our average" way. On the other hand, Rupert Sheldrake affirms that "the hypothesis of the formative causación maybe can provide us a bridge between the science and the phenomena parapsicológicos." Certainly, phenomena like the clairvoyance, the retrocognición or the sincronicidad can have a natural explanation I also download that theoretical novel focus.

But are you really evidences that our brain possesses extrasensorial abilities? does a psychic energy exist able to exercise an action on the matter?... Recently 130 years they have been completed since you began that that for then it was known as the investigation metapsíquica (precursor of the Parapsychology). Numerous médiums of the time was submitted to meticulous exams for outstanding scientific as William Crookes, prize Nobel of Physics, or Charles Richet, prize Nobel of Medicine. Those illustrious pioneers recognized the reality of the extraordinary phenomena and they determined that they had a psychic origin. Supported in the theory of the "unconscious", the philosopher Frédéric W.H.Myers elaborates in 1895 the hypothesis of the "I-subliminal" one, a psychic level in which diverse minds can be connected, explaining this way the telepathic phenomena. But the investigation of the phenomena PSI didn't reach a truly experimental and scientific value until the decade of the thirty, when the biologist and mathematical Joseph B. Rhine applies the statistical method to measure the psychic capacities of some fellows, included under the new terms of Extrasensorial" "Perception and (ESP) "Psicokinesis (PK)." From then on, the Parapsychology - that achieved the scientific prospective recognition in 1969 - you have gone advancing, although slowly and drawing many obstacles, in the knowledge of the latent abilities of our mind. Nevertheless, we continue without clarifying if that supposed energy ("telergia" that produce the paranormal phenomena has your functional headquarters in some concrete area of our brain. Some consider that the temporary lobe is involved in the paranormal (Michael Persinger, 1989) phenomenology. Other, on the other hand, they suppose that you are the thalamus, I eat the investigation team for example "Hipergea" of Barcelona. In 1985 you tried to offer an answer: "The oxygen of the neurons talámicas of the brain is the unchaining factor of the paranormal" phenomenology. A conclusion that he/she have not been able to be confirmed and that you leave without explaining those phenomena PSI that the temporary and space borders transcend. Already different decades ago own Dr. Rhine maintained your doubts to this respect, sustaining that the factor PSI is not of physical nature. In your excellent book "The New World of the Mind" the (1953) father of the Scientific Parapsychology manifested: "In some part of the organism it should even have what could call you a localization in certain sense, an identified place with psi that any other one. That doesn't mean you to have to exist a receiving specific organ or a certain field of the brain." In all ways, the idea of an energy" "transfer is being relegated since you entered the holographic theory of Pribam and Bohm. This last intend that "the brain is a hologram that perceive and you participate in a holographic" universe. Therefore, if in the involved" "level all the things and events are cross-trigger, you are not necessary that we appeal to model explicatorios based on energy fields to explain the phenomena ESP and PK. Here it would be necessary to speak rather of "information units (Stanley Krippner, 1978)."

Without a doubt, the studio of the paranormal phenomena is contributing to deepen up to now in aspects unknown of the human mind. You are, because, important to continue thoroughly investigating these questions, always with an open but at the same time critical spirit, and to get a bigger support multidisciplinar. And you are that, like the eminent professor of Psychology recognizes José Luis Ground pines, "in the bottom, this whole disturbing world of the telepathic communication, of the extrasensorial perception and of the premonitions it constitutes a warning, an invitation to the humility for the too proud psychologists of your science, and you also represent a challenge to the human" genius...

ULTRACONSCIENCIA

Can it expand the conscience toward higher levels of the reality?... You believe this way it the Psychology Transpersonal, the most recent path in the psychology that approach the bordering phenomena of the conscience. Your precursor, the Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof takes forty years investigating the calls modified "states of conscience" what took you to create a new paradigm on the nature of the human psyche, opposed to the pattern Cartesian-newtoniano. The movement transpersonal has had in the last years a great welcome on the part of psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, physiques, thinkers and artists of vanguard.

The "transpersonal" - word coined by the psychologist Abraham Maslow in 1969 - you are, for the psychoanalyst Enrique Gallant, "intraindividual, because inside each one he/she becomes agitated the cosmos in your group, the 'physis' (...) You are an attempt of understanding the mystery of the Nature through the studio of the human" psyche. In that interior trip, toward the deepest thing of oneself, one can vivenciar perinatal episodes, regressions toward last supposed lives, tuning with other consciences (singular, collective, planetary...), understanding of the general purposes symbols and, in grade last, to experience a communion with you swim her, with the primordial drive. An entire comprehensive spectrum of events autotrascendentes that you/they become inefables...

But also, according to Grof: "those 'tests transpersonales' they include archetypal diverse visions, you sequence mythological, tests of divine influences or demoníacas, encounters with beings lacking body or suprahumanos and the identification experiencial with the general purpose mind or the hole supracósmico." As you he/she can see, in these tests summit we find elements similar to those that, in occasions, they describe us the médiums, those contacted and the religious (as well as those people that an ECM has suffered) visionaries. Nevertheless, by means of the usage of hallucinogenic (as the LSD) substances or using technical as the trance, the meditation, the sensorial privation, the rhythmic dance, the respiration holotrópica, etc. the individual can experience a non ordinary "state of conscience" and to penetrate in those "dimensions transpersonales of the psyche" of those that speak, with another language, the mystics of all the times and cultures. And you are that, either the mystic" "ecstasy in the Catholic context, the "nirvana" in the Buddhist, the "satori" in the zen or the "samadhi" in the yoga, the test and the result is the same ones: to consent to a realm supradimensional to melt with the "divinity", with the "absolute" thing. To reach that Cosmic" "Conscience - as Dr it names it. Richard Bucke - you suppose, in turn, to acquire a deeper knowledge of the reality and a holistic vision of the universe. The fellow experiences an awakening of your intellect also, a development of certain extraordinary (related, preferably, with the extrasensorial" "perception and with the sanación) abilities, a bigger feeling of love toward your fellow men and a deep respect toward all alive form. Not we know if those "gleams of the infinite" thing are glimpsed by the human conscience because we are it that specialist Jon Klimo calls "subpersonalidades inside a General purpose" Mind-brain, but of what we can be totally sure it is of the deep and positive change that you/they experience those that cross the threshold of the "Kingdom transpersonales."

TO MODE OF EPILOGUE

In definitive, the Nature has endowed us of a treasure of incalculable value. The brain, with all your mysteries, will continue affording us many surprises in the XXI century. Today, quantum many physiques, as Jack Sarfatti and Eugene Wigner, ends up wondering if our conscience has created the reality of the Universe, since your paper is crucial in the world of the elementary particles (like one deduces from the "Start Indeterminista." The new physics has recognized the importance that have the psyche in the subatomic phenomena finally. You have contributed it to that some avant-garde physiques are interested to know which the connection points are between the physics and the mysticism, and even decide to be inserted in the land - even "damned" for certain atrophied minds - of the parapsychology, like you are the case of the prize Nobel of physical Brian Josephson that apply the quantum laws to the explanation of the phenomena PSI.

"The physics, the brilliant example of the pure and hard science that have been had always as a model for the other ones, transcending the vision of the world mechanic and reduccionista is now. You are behaving to an organic, holistic and ecologic similar vision to that of the mystics, psychic people and those that have tests spontaneous" transpersonales, specify the theoretical physique very wisely Fritjof Capra.

YOU TRAVEL TOWARD THE INTERIOR UNIVERSE

The stories of those that for different channels - spontaneous or caused - they have played a "test transpersonal" that is usually difficult to describe since with words the world of the senses you transcend, they coincide in many aspects. The mystic, the chamán, the medium, the one that an ECM suffers, the one that "funnel" astral supposed entities, the one that meditate, the one that experience with hallucinogenic substances, etc. they usually narrate practically the same thing. When they are low a high "state of conscience", the gates of the perception are opened to oneself scenario, to a "place" full with light in the one that feel a state of supreme happiness. Henry Corbin calls it the "world imaginal": "That world is hidden behind the same act of the sensorial perception and you are to search it below your objective apparent certainty (...) You are so actual ontológicamente as the world of the senses and of the intellect. We should be careful and not to confuse it with the imagination that the up-to-date man identifies with the fantasy." Let us see some examples...

The testimony of a youth that suffered an automobile accident is good us to illustrate the intense visions that are had during an ECM: "... Quickly I went of the panic and the fear by my life to be fully aware that you will die. You were then when I had the sensation of peace and deeper serenity of my life. You were as if has traveled from my being's periphery, the body that I controlled, until the center of myself, an imperturbable, totally silent and calm place (...) Everything I, what was in that moment, was I felt ported to a distant and encircling continuum beyond that that previously he/she had believed that you were the death (...) I felt happy and exuberant, even amid the catastrophe that surrounded myself (...) The accident and the test that it bore transformed my vision of the world and my mode totally of understanding the existence..."

And what do they count the supposed "spirits" "further on" on the world of the?... The British medium Helen Encumbers you received his friend's following official statement that had died little time before: "... Here we are what we seem to be... The light is here literally the substance and matter of the life of the pansy. This way, as our pansies harmonize with the vibration of the Creative Divinity, the substance of our bodies changes, you restitution more less dense and reflective light."

On the other hand, the one contacted American Mark Probert usually "funnels" extraterrestrial presumed revelations that turn about the Cosmos and the Life: "The space is not something objective 'per you' that you are stumped in the distance and it can be crossed in a trip alucinatorio, but a state of conscience, the extension of the interior own life. The space is in itself a state of the general purpose energy, a field of the being's" conscience.

The state of total conscience ("samadhi" that are gotten with the meditation is perceived this way by the yogi Sri Chinmoy: "Any pansy, any form: only pure existence. The will and the pansy extinguish. The definitive end of the dance of the nature: I am That that I have been searching."

A fellow, submitted to a session controlled with LSD, you described in the following way what were the most wonderful test in your life for him: "... I experienced a quaking ecstasy lightning and my body was dissolved in the matter flow or energy of which the universe is made. I was snatched toward the center of the existence of where all the things arise and in the one that all the things converge (...) You are a soft light that emanate from below, giving a hesitant brilliance (...) Of the only thing that are conscious it is of the ecstasy and love cigars. For an instant I was tempted of remaining in that place of infinite beauty..."

The truth is that, in the last times, the number of people has been increased that affirm to have extraordinary tests. Which would the end of these encounters be with other "realities?"... According to the psychologist Kenneth Ring, author of "The Project Omega", they drive "us toward a fundamental reorientation of our values and visions of the world personnels, but what are more important is that they seem also to accelerate a transformation psicofísica." Maybe, among those privileged individuals that are able to pass over the threshold of the ordinary conscience to consent to the "dimensions transpersonales", a state-of-the-art new specie be emerging. John White has already given you a name: "HOMO NOETICUS"...

IN SEARCH OF THE "FACTOR PSI"

The psychic supposed energy responsible for the paranormal phenomena has received diverse names: telergia, bioplasma, potential PSI, forces metaetérea, psicotrónica, etc. During the time metapsíquica, other terms like "flowing mesmérico" were used, rigid" "radiations, "rays N"... However, up to now they have not offered favorable arguments on your physical nature, since like we know, the energy diminishes proportionally in feature of the distance and that doesn't happen in phenomena like the telepathy; and, on the other hand, the phenomena PK (Psicokinesis) has been able to reproduce through the call Cage of Faraday for what you are to discard the possibility that this energy is electromagnetic as always he/she has believed the official Parapsychology. "The manifestations telérgicas, in those that intervene a physical, measurable and sometimes visible supposed energy, don't still constitute today a fact proven", Antonio assures Jiménez Visedo, directive of the Spanish Society of Parapsychology. Before this deduction, soon other possible explanations arose for the activity PSI. The astronomer V.A. Firsoff referred to kind of a psychic particle, similar to the neutrinos, to those that he/she baptized with the "mindones" name. The psychologist Cyril Burt preferred to name them "psicones", while the mathematician TO. Dobbs called them "psitrones." You are as well as you begins to relate the phenomena ESP and PK with the quantum mechanics, being currently one of the theoretical favorite fields of the Scientific Parapsychology.

But of what you are not doubt it is that the human mind is the epicenter of the paranormal phenomenology. And you seem to also be that when the brain emits frequencies of the type "alpha", (when the fellow is in relaxation) you are more probable than the abilities PSI is manifested, like you have been able to verify in numerous laboratory tests. Today, by means of the up-to-date "biofeedback" techniques the (biorretroalimentación) fellow can take place and to control the "state alpha" voluntarily. Also, through the method "Ganzfeld" (German word that come to mean total" "field, the person is submitted to a sensorial privation until reaching a deep level of relaxation. This experimentation type with technical means is contributing to that can develop ESP individuals that never before had had tests of this nature. In turn, you have been able to check with bigger control and rigor the existence of the abilities PSI attracting the interest of scientific of diverse disciplines.

But is the "factor PSI" a natural quality that the primitive man possessed and that you were getting lost do you conform the spoken language you arose? or, on the contrary, you are an ability that you are in evolution scenario like other features (genetic, physical, etc.) human?... Not there is a concrete answer that can clear up this doubt. Opinions exist for all the likes. Freud, for example, pointed out in this respect of the telepathy that "fit the suspicion that you were the original, archaic channel, of communication among the individual beings that it experienced a regression in favor of the best communication method by means of signs that are perceived with the sensorial" organs throughout the phylogenetic development. In fact, the anthropologist Margaret Urinates you have found in some current tribes primitive indications that they use extrasensorial communication systems amen of possessing other capacities parapsicológicas.

The certain thing is that, like Henry affirmed Margenau, professor of physics of the University of Yale, we "know today that you/they exist many phenomena that are located in the frontier, in the periphery of the current science. Phenomena that we don't still understand that remain in the darkness, but that, without a doubt, they will pass to be part of the field studied by the science in the future."

The Mind - main Stimulus of the Sex

The pressures of the daily life hinder or they even impede a plenum sexuality. The stress, the schedules and the obligations are the main barriers for the satisfaction of the sex. You know the paper that complete the mind in this whole process
At the present time, the pressures of the daily life hinder or they even prevent to take a plenum sexuality ahead. The stress, the schedules and the obligations are the main barriers for the satisfaction of the sex.

For that reason, the Mexican place MundodeHoy.com recommends, as sexual therapy, to work with the mind. How is this?. You happen that all the corporal sensations traffic, unfailingly, for the brain, par excellence transforming into the erogenous field.

This way, the tonsil acts like sexual" "translator's luck that he/she interpret each one of the stimuli. As long as, the hipotálamo (located in the base of the brain) regulates the way to feel pleasure and the expression of the same one during the relationship.

On the other hand, the operation of the endocrine (that you are under the encéfalo or hypophysis) gland is intimately wired with the vivacity, while the thalamus takes charge of regulating the instinctive behaviors, that is to say, you take us to "lose the head" before certain stimuli, and the cerebral cortex originates the sexual fantasies, build up hopes and memories.

But you are not to forget that the septum is the one that specifically takes charge of the sexual pleasure although, clearing is, you should be helped by the imagination. This way, if a sensation of little excitation is experienced, to think of an image or erotic story is a good form of activating the septum.

The most important thing is to leave aside the prejudgments, myths and blames that lock the feeling of pleasure. You are better to think of sexual positions, sex organs or to conceive us to ourselves experiencing an orgasm. That is to say, you are that concentrates on all those ideas that are considered taboo by the society, and that we know that, intimately, they are those that more they excite us.

Test of Intelligence - IQ

Some years ago, this I get rid the head you flew, these two patriarchs of the contemporary pansy gave me a vision esclarecedora among so much fog. They take an arduous, terrible company ahead, in some point being Marxist has some contact points with the first Discards, that of beginning to build a system of total pansy that question everything that that don't have an exact, precise definition that come from the reason. This text has a range extensive abarcativo, the social construction of the knowledge, the scientific community and the power, etc. As anecdote memory that you/they were not few those occasions in that friends, well-known, happened to me link with diverse intelligence" "test, many of them fascinated with your results, others before the non prospective result and your wounded narcissus, tried to refute the extent I practice of the same ones.

Some paragraphs that interest me that I want to share with this community will ascend. The Quixotic attempt on the part of these two titanes, deserves to be read, the unique attempt of demolishing that false building that are built with words. The order of the speech.... and that you should be destroyed by means of the same ones, I complain that this you finish decision you have such a Freudian edge, but you are Friday you rain and the dampness has certain goods.... (read you the poem of Pessoa "rains in silence")

Let us don't forget that if the floor is hard and the sky is celestial, you are because somebody said it. Let us be about joining to denounce the patent lies.

The tests of Intelligence

By Alan Woods and Ted Grant
A frequently not well utilized term for the genetic deterministas is the inheritance, especially in the field of the tests of IQ (intellectual quotient). The psychologists Hans Eysenck in Great Britain, and Richard Herrnstein and Arthur Jensen in the United States, they have defended the idea that the intelligence is largely hereditary. They also outline that the stocking of IQ of the blacks is genetically inferior to that of the targets and that the Irishmen are determined by genes of "low IQ." In fact it has been demonstrated that the tests of IQ is imperfect in themselves. Not a measure drive exists for the "intelligence", as which can book credit for the weight or the height. IQ is an imaginary concept based on wild suppositions.

The tests of Intelligence arose at the beginning of century when Alfred Binet established a plain test to help to identify children with learning difficulties. For Binet it was a mean of identification of difficulties that then could be solved with mental" "orthopedics. Certainly he/she didn't think that this was a measure of "fixed" intelligence, and to those that outlined this type of ideas the answer of Binet it was overwhelming: We "have to protest and to react against this brutal" pessimism.

The base of the test of Binet was quite bare: the biggest children should be able to carry out mental tasks that the pettiest children are not able to. With that base it elaborated an entire series of appropriate tests to each group of ages; in such a way that one could judge the children that it were considered they were more clever or less more capable. As consequence they should take measures to remedy the fields in those that is difficulties. However this system, in other hands, was used to reach completely different conclusions. With the death of Binet the defenders of the eugenics saw your opportunity of gold to reinforce your message determinista. The intelligence was considered as an innate and fixed thing through the inheritance and that you belonged together with the social class and the social origin. When Lewis Terman inserted the tests Stanford-Binet in the United States you left clear that the drop intelligence is "very communio between Hispanic-Indian families and Mexicans of the Southwest one and also among the blacks. Your turpitude seems to be racial or at least inherent in the root of the families of those that come. The children of this group should be segregated in special classes. Not they are able to dominate the abstractions, but often they can transform into effective workers. Not there is possibility to convince to the society that should not be allowed to reproduce, for the time being although from an eugenic point of view they constitute a serious problem due to your level of playback fruitful" inusualmente.

This was the general shade of the educational community of the United States in relation to the tests. A new step was inserted to extend your scientific extent: standards settled down for the adults, and a ratio among the age and the mental age, the intellectual" "quotient or IQ. In Great Britain, you were the English psychologist Sir Cyril Lodovic Burt the one that translated and you defended, even in a more obsessive way that your American colleagues, the tests of Binet. Burt defended that the men were more intelligent than the women on the base of supposed studios. The same gentleman outlined that you had scientific irrefutable tests that the Christian were more intelligent than the Jews, the Englishmen more than the Irishmen, the Englishmen of high class more than those of low class, etc. What chance that was a man English Christian of high class! With these means the oppressors justify the oppression, the rich and powerful justify your privileges, on the base that your victims are "inferior." During 65 years, until your death in 1971, Burt continued your work on the eugenics and the tests of IQ and you were properly rewarded with the title of Sir by your services to the humanity. You helped to establish a selectivity in the educational system to the eleven years that it divided the children in "intelligent" that went to the grammar school, and "silly" that went to the "secondary up-to-date" schools. Burt explained: "The capacity obviously debit side to limit the content. You are impossible that a jar of a spot contains more than a spot of milk; and you are equally impossible that the educational attainments of a boy rise beyond what your educational capacity allows."

This way the tests of Binet was taken beyond your feature of recognizing to reinforce the classist character of the society. Those that had been born to chop charcoal were and those that will direct the society. The tests was not used to solve the problems but to segregate. Independently of the modifications that have been made in the intelligence tests, all have the same root: a preconceived "intelligence" that you are the pattern based on which one judges everybody. However these tests is vastly influenced by cultural and social stereotypes that determine the results. They are also linked to the operation of the schools and they reflect those results. However the idea that you are possible to identify or to measure the "intelligence" this so raw way is fundamentally dummy. After everything, what is the intelligence? How can you quantify? Not it is as the weight or the height. The intelligence is not a fixed thing, like Burt outlined, but elasticum. The potential of the human brain doesn't have borders. The task of the society is that the human being can carry out this potential. The factors of the environment can cap or to enhance this potential. A boy that grow in a social unfavorable environment will be in disadvantage in relation to one that have all the satisfied necessities. The social origin is extremely important. If you change the environment, you change the boy. In spite of the statements of the biologic deterministas, the intelligence is not predetermined genetically.

The obsession to determine the intelligence statistically, through a graph in bell form, is an attempt of reinforcing the social conformism. Those that are outside of the standard are "abnormal" and they need treatment. Or you are genetic and you determine our social class, race and life. But in fact, while our genotype is fixed, our phenotype constantly changes. The forfeiture of an arm or a leg is irreversible but nonhereditary. The Wilson's disease is hereditary but with treatment it is not irreversible. "Neither, Rose, Kamin, and Lewotin say of course", "the phenotype is developed lineally of the genotype from the birth to the maturity. The 'intelligence' of a boy it is not only a petty certain percent of of the adult into which will transform, as if the 'jar of a spot' was being constantly" filled.

The frantic attempts of Burt to demonstrate the genetic base of IQ took you to falsify your data and registers systematically. Your famous studio on the intellectual quotient of identical separate twins took to the incredible statement that the environments separated from the twins didn't have any influence. For Him everything was determined by the genes of the twins. You were the idol of the genetic deterministas, and your studios gave you the necessary arguments to reinforce your position. In 1978, D. D. Dorfman, an American psychologist, demonstrated clearly that this English gentleman had simply falsified your results. After demonstrates you that you were a fraud, your followers were indebted to change speech, simply criticizing Burt for your ullage of scientific acuity. The studios of Burt were the Man of Piltdown (supposition 'lost link' among the man and the simian that it turned out to be a fraud of an English archaeologist) of IQ. However, in your day ¾ in spite of fifteen years of inconsistencias¾ your investigations were applauded by the scientific community as test that IQ was hereditary. But in spite of the drop in misfortune of Burt, the establishment continued holding on to your reactionary philosophy as support of your class point of view.

The most recent studios in relation to identical twins separated in Great Britain, United States and Denmark, don't demonstrate at all that the intellectual quotient is hereditary. These studios have been responded convincingly by Rose, Kamin and Lewotin. Your conclusion? "Not we know what you are really the heritability of IQ. All the data don't simply allow us to calculate a reasonable estimation of the genetic variation of IQ in any population. All told what we know, the heritability could be zero or 50%. In fact, although they have been devoted enormous investigation efforts to study this issue, the heritability of IQ is irrelevant regarding this subject. The enormous importance that you/they give the deterministas to the demonstration of the heritability is a consequence of your erroneous belief that the heritability means immutability."

"Neither for IQ neither for any other feature one can say that the genes determine the organism", they continue. "Not a match exists one-to-one between the inherited genes of your parents and your height, weight, metabolism rate, illness, health, or any non trivial other feature of the organism, each organism is an unique product of the interaction between genes and environment in each stage of the life."

They find virus that delete the brain tumors

According to the magazine Neuroscience, a group of American scientists has discovered a virus that reproduce genes specialized in the location and deletion of brain tumors in mice. But also, and one of the most important aspects is maybe that those genes leave virtually intact the healthy tissue and they center your attack exclusively in the cancer-causing cells.

According to the investigators of the School of Medicine of Yale, the technique to guide that activity of the virus, identified as "cystic stomatis", you could open the way to a new treatment for the brain cancer in human. "The studio shows that the virus can penetrate in the brain where you arrive until the cells that they have migrado taking away from the main" tumor, Harald Sontheimer, oncologist of the University of Alabama you said.

The scientists injected cancer-causing cells in the rodent ones and later they implanted the virus. By means of fluorescent proteins they saw that this was disseminated leaving to your step a trail of dead cancer-causing cells. The scientists pointed out that the virus didn't attack normal cells neither other human cells implanted in the brain of the mice.

They discover method to revert the memory leak

Canadian scientists discovered for accident a mechanism that could figure out the mysteries of the operation of the memory and to help in the treatment of some illnesses, as you publish the magazine Annals of Neurology.

The discovery happened when the scientists carried out a surgical exploration in the brain of a 50 year-old man in an attempt to reduce you the appetite and to neutralize your growing obesity. For it, they already used a technique successful of cerebral" "stimulation, in which electrodes are inserted and certain sectors are boosted by means of an electric petty imposition.

This cerebral stimulation is applied for more than ten years to treat a comprehensive range of dysfunctions, including the depression, Parkinson's wrong and other associated to the physical involuntary movement.

But, instead of losing the appetite, the man remembered with width particulars of events had happened for 30 years and the later tests demonstrated that you had increased in a considerable way your learning capacity. In moments in that it were carried out the process in the field of the linked hipotálamo with the sensation of the hunger, the man suddenly informed you that the memories were crowded together.

After this surprising fact, the technique is already applying in the treatment of patients of the wrong of Alzheimer, to see the results.

We are before an unusual fact, since it is the first time that are possible to raise the process of the memory from a person to which electrodes have been inserted in the brain. Also, those memories became clearer in the proportion in that you/they raised the stimuli.

According to the scientists, this fact provides us a bigger knowledge on the cerebral structures involved in the memory. Let us hope they can really open new hopes for the patients with illnesses neurodegenerativs.

Paranoia

The paranoia is a mental illness that are characterized by the presentation of a chronic, systematized delirium, irrefutable to the logical argument that he/she appear as consequence of a constitutional predisposition and you are related with the vivencias subject dl. The psychic features are entirely preserved while your application doesn't affect to the topic of the delirium. The only symptom is more or less the delirious ideas derivative of your status vivencial.

The paranoiac deliriums embrace all the possibilities of the human activity, but preferably they are based on the desires or the sick person's fears. These deliriums, in general, are five: the persecution (this is the most usual; here the sick person is pursued by people, groups or powerful organisms) delirium; the reference (where the sick person is spied all over the world) delirium; the delirium of grievance or barrator (constantly it outlines the sick person lawsuits and complaints whereas you feel wrongly tried all over the world); the delirium of greatness (here the sick person is completely convinced of your great importance and continually it seeks to demonstrate it); and lastly the erotic (being of jealousies can or of being loved by people to those that have not seen maybe never, belonging, in general, to very high unrangosocial) delirium.

The causal core of the paranoia is in the sick person's character previous paranoiac whose fundamental features are the pride, the distrust, the judgment falsehood and your difficulties of adaptation.

The paranoia leaves elaborating throughout many years, being an illness characteristic of the mature age and more frequently still of the age involutiva (climaterio and menopause). The paranoia affects people of half and higher intelligence and your prognosis is bad, due to your submitted to the treatments and mainly to the paranoiac's danger, as soon as your delirious ideas impel to aggression and even to the homicide. Your problem is the incompatibility with all social coexistence. Apart from this, your psychic features don't deteriorate. The fundamental treatment is the psychotherapy that will be prolonged during years. They can be effective the electroshock and the treatment medivamentoso.

Alzheimer and Senile Dementia

The senile dementia consists on a psychic deep, global and progressive deterioration that alter the intellectual alcoholatura features and you disintegrate the social behavior in some old men (on or about in the 4 for 100). The lawsuits of the senile dementia are very diverse. The hereditary factor is the most important. You are families with a precocious deterioration of the mental abilities. They also have your importance the environmental factors, genus of life, toxics, infections, etc., and mainly the fact of being reached the brain by the general involución of the senile organism.

The symptoms are set up gradually, although sometimes, after some illness or psychic important trauma, the previous unstable balance can collapse and to show the symptoms almost suddenly.Alzheimer and Senile Dementia

The senile dementia consists on a psychic deep, global and progressive deterioration that alter the intellectual alcoholatura features and you disintegrate the social behavior in some old men (on or about in the 4 for 100).

The symptoms are set up gradually, although sometimes, after some illness or psychic important trauma, the previous unstable balance can collapse and to show the symptoms almost suddenly.

The alcoholatura symptoms are the following ones: behavioral disorders; (day little activity, occupations esteriotipadas of the same topics constantly, confusion of memories, insomio, puerility in the whole behavior, among other) memory disturbances; (forfeiture of the uptake memory, that is to say, of proximate facts, and conservation of the evocation memory, that is to say, of old facts; the school infantile automatisms are also remembered) dysfunctions of the language (forfeiture in the elaborated ways of expression or onomastics); constant disorientation in time and later in place; weakening of the judgment and reason; fatiguability and carefulness lábil; dysfunctions of the character (jealousies, avarice, selfishness, intransigence, impertinence, distrust, mistrust, among other); and release of the inferior layers of the legal capacity (for failure of the control mechanisms).

The evolution of the process is progressive, with periods of attenuation and of exacerbation of the symptoms, toward a final state of psychic chaos, being the senile one reduced to a purely vegetative life.

The treatment indicated in these cases is fundamentally medicamentoso (hormone therapy anabolizante and drugs psicotropos, so much antidepression medications, as tranquilizers). They should also be kept in mind the conditions of life of the old demenciado in the socio-economic and environmental sense.

Schizophrenia

The psychoses esquizofrénicas are the mental most serious and frequent illnesses, since more than half of the chronic confined sick persons they suffer them. They can be defined as the group of psychic dysfunctions in those that the oncoherencia ideoverbal, the ambivalence, prevails the autism, the delirious ideas, the hallucinations and affective deep disturbances, as absence and strangeness of the feelings. This conunto of dysfunctions spreads to evolve toward a dissociation and segregation of the legal capacity.

The fundamental features of the symptoms esquizofrénicos are the following ones: excision of the legal capacity (I overturn fundamental, consistent in a rupture of the harmony of the me and of the psychic normal mechanisms); absurdidas, strangeness and psychological incomprensibilidad of the sick person's (your mind is governed by the new and unknown laws) vivencias; incongruity of the behavior; strangeness of itself, autism and rupture of the contact with the relaidad; catastrophic (with the one that the sick person foresees the destruction of your legal capacity) vivencia.

These illnesses can cause gradually, by means of a long and insidious process, or in an acute and sharp (call emerges) way. Your lawsuits, very diverse, are very debated in the different schools psiquátricas. Diverse factors can exist: genetic, biotipológicos, psicotípicos of predisposition, neurobiologic (energy dysfunctions and dismetabólicos, endocrine dysfunctions) and finally psychosocial (among those that have special importance the biographical events of the childhood, the socio-cultural mean and the relationships interfamiliares). In general, two theories etiopatogénicas prevail: the organicista (for which the schizophrenias are linked illnesses of somatic origin to a consitución and transferable for inheritance) and the psicogenética (for which the esquizpfrenias is reacciónm modes from certain types of legal capacity to specific conflicts). In fact, according to the theory psicogenética, the schizophrenias would be the final result of the uptake in anomalous ways of reaction originated in very early ages before conflicts that cannot remember. New conflicts unchain these latent reaction modes.

They exist, diverse types of psychosis esquizofrénica. The clinical most frequent and typical form is the paranoid schizophrenia that are characterized by the appearance of delirious primary ideas. Delirious secondary ideas and alucinaicones are also added; these three symptoms constitute the core of this schizophrenia. The beginning can be gradual or sharp. Frequently, the delirious ideas of persecution and of poisoning they go accompanied by auditory, visual, smell hallucinations, etc., that they confirm to the sick person in your delirious ideas. He/she usually appears in plenum adultes and even in advance ages.

The other forms clinicians differ for your evolutionary potential. You are two forms that have a very important, more included potential evilutivo that that in the typical or paranoid way, and that they constitute the serious schizophrenias.

In the first place, the schizophrenia hebefrénica are, of insidious and progressive beginning, mainly in the adolescents (school difficulties, you shrink of the performance, hypochondriac crisis and sensation of fatigue). During the beginnings it can seem a neurosis, but after some months or one year the sick person lives as dreaming and you pass to the fundamental symptoms of the illness: progressive apathy with indeferencia regarding everything, infantile behavior and massive and quick trend toward a state serious demencial.

The second serious schizophrenia is the catatonic one. In this illness the psychomotor symptoms prevail, together with a great negativism (I lock of the voluntary activity, being only conserved the self-operating activity). Of all the esquizofrénicos it is the catatonic one the one that give a more intense sensation of insulation of the reality and of rupture with the normal forms of relationship. The psychomotor syndrome can enter two forms: the hipocinética (in the one that the reduction in value of the movement, the forfeiture of all initiative, prevails until the grade of conserving the postures imposed hours and even days, and the mutismo) and the hipercinética, be local or general (in the one that episodes of semiautomatic intense agitation appear, without the sick person of a reduced space that you/they lose temper with periods of immobility being exitted). In general the sick person, although non lomparezca, is pending of your acts. The evolution toward the dementia is carried out in 3 or 4 years.

Sleep is Good for the Memory

Starting from the XX century and with the input of the artificial light, they have gone decreasing progressively the hours of dream in the population of the industrialized countries. This new reality that among other allowed to extend the family activities and of leisure, and you implanted the night work and for rotational shifts, you also modified, of drastic way, the lifestyles of millions and millions of people. Sleeping, far from being an inactive stage of rest, you are a state of biologic intense activity during which hormone changes, metabolic, thermal, biochemical, cerebral and mental, are operated fundamentally to achieve the balance psicofísico and the sensation of well-being during the day. If you doubt, to sleep is important. You not only know it who sleep bad: you are difficult to think that you are about a banal issue if the organism invests in this a third part of the life.

One of the main features of the dream, and maybe the most sophisticated, is to strengthen the memory: the most recent investigations demonstrate that the process of storing the information in the memory is carried out while you fall asleep.

During the night dream, the incorporate data are reactivated and reproduced time and again by the hippocampus - very petty field of the interior of the brain where that is stored that memorize. With each repetition, the information is sent, in turn, to the cerebral cortex, where you leave recording more and more deep in the brain tissue, integrating this way the called "memory of long term." That is to say that while you fall asleep, the informations pass on one side from the brain to the other one. therefore, what memorize during the day, consolidates during the night. This is the lawsuit for the one which who have slept well he/she can have to the awakening a more ordered vision of the problems that you/they have been pending, or even to find the olución to a problem while you fall asleep.

During the dream, the brain comes off of the whole useless information of the day and new connections take place among the neurons, with the appearance of more and cerebral better circuits. And to bigger circuits, bigger performances of the stocks of the brain.

The stressful very traumatic tests are recorded with stability in the memory and vivid memories that last in the time take place. On the contrary, the stress if you are less intense but more prolonged, you injure the hippocampus and therefore, you deteriorate the memory.

To sleep is since an irreplaceable feature you are the only mechanism of which prepare the brain for your own retrieval. During the dream, the body, the brain and the mind you restairan to themselves although, paradoxically, all continue very enabled.

Then in that statement that at some time all hear that you said: you seek advice to sleep on it the serious subjects before making a decision", we can say that you have a lot of effectiveness, since the best thing that can make the person before a problem, a challenge academic or complicated decisions, is exactly, to sleep well.

Information of The Stress

The Stress
Hans Selye (1907-1982) was the responsible one of coining this word. Physiologist and Viennese physician, were also Director of the Institute of Medicine and Experimental Surgery of the University of Montreal. In 1950 it published their more famous investigation: "Stress, a studio about the anxiety." Starting from this thesis, the stress or general syndrome of adaptation (known by the initials SGA) passed to summarize an entire group of symptoms psicofisiológicos. Selye was able to separate the physical goods of the stress of other symptoms suffered by its patients through its investigation. He/she observed that their patients suffered physical dysfunctions that were not caused directly by their illness or for their medical condition.
You can classify by means of the following outline:

According to their type
Physical stress: it is that that doesn't allow the person to act correctly for changes in the environment or in the daily routine. This can end up hindering the operation of the senses, the flow and respiration. If the physical stress is prolonged, it can damage the health gravely or any delicate status that one already has to worsen.

Psychic stress: it is that caused by the requirements that the person is made to complete in a certain lapse. The compliance of schedules, tasks and occupations where what is demanded is bigger than the person's capacities, it causes the appearance of the stress that far from improving the person's performance, it worsens him and it deletes all autosuperación sense

According to their factors:
Quantity of stress

Hipoestress: little stress.
Hiperestress: a lot of stress.
Stress consequence

Distress: it is about a negative stress in which the lawsuits are very big for our organism.
Eustress: it is a positive stress that he/she boosts us to improve and to overcome us.

Stress grade
Acute stress: it is about a stress of little duration or passenger, but very strong, like kind of an emotional shock
Chronic stress: it is about a strong or weak stress that is prolonged too much or that it is never stopped to have.

The stress can direct or indirectly to contribute to general or specific disorders of the body and the mind.
In the first place, this status makes that the brain puts on in guard. The reaction of the brain is to prepare the body for the defensive share. The nervous system wakes up and the hormones are released to activate the senses, to accelerate the pulse, to deepen the respiration and to tighten the muscles. This answer (sometimes call the answer of to fight or to escape) is important, because he/she helps us to defend against threatening status. The answer is programmed biologically. Everybody reacts more or less in the same way .tanto if the status takes place in the house like in the work.
The short or uncommon episodes of stress represent little risk. But when the stressful status are happened without resolution, the body remains in a constant state of alert, that which the physiologic attrition rate that bears to the fatigue or the bodily injury, and the capacity of the body to recover and to be defended increases can see seriously committed. As a result, it raises the injury risk or illness.

Condition stressful
It boosts working Excess or working ullage. Speed in carrying out the task. Necessity to make decisions. It tires, for effort important physique. Travel long and numerous. Excessive I number of workhours. Changes in the work.

The working loading, so much in the aspects difficult of the task, as the excessive work, they have obtained a direct relationship, among workhours and death caused by coronary artery disease. (Breslow and Buell 1960) .La boosts working, also this related one significantly with a series of stress symptoms: alcohol consumption, absenteeism labor, low motivation in the work, low self-esteem, pressure in the work, threat perception, bewilderment, high-level of cholesterol, increment of the cardiac rate and I increase of usage of cigarettes.

Consequences of the stress
In the first place, the stress modifies the habits related with health, so that with the hurries, the ullage of time, the pressure, etc., they raise the non healthy behaviors, such as smoking, to drink, or to eat in excess, and they decrease the healthy behaviors, as exercising physical, to save a diet, to sleep sufficiently, cautionary behaviors of hygiene, etc. These changes of habits can affect negatively to the health and, of course, they can be developed a series of addictions, with very negative consequences for the individual in the main areas of their life, like they are the family, the social relationships, the work, the health, etc. Let us see some data:

(1) in some highly stressful professions there are more high rates of tabaquismo, alcoholism and other addictions;

(2) this is also certain in unemployed workers, in front of what you/they have work;

(3) people with obesity enter more high levels of anxiety that people that don't enter obesity;

(4) the power supply (anorexy and bulimia) dysfunctions are also very bound with anxiety;

(5) many people with social phobia have problems with the alcohol.

In turn, the development of pernicious habits for health, like it is the case of the addictions, he/she makes raise the stress. The intervention programas for the reduction in value of the weight, or the intervention programas in addictions, or the treatment of the power supply dysfunctions, etc., they should include technical of reduction in value of anxiety and handling of the stress, because when it is made this way they improve their effectiveness.
In second place, the stress can produce a physiologic high activation that, maintained in the time, it can cause malfunctions psicofisiológicas or psychosomatic, such as headaches you tense them, cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, sexual problems, etc. (Farmer and Frizzy, 1993); in turn, the stress can produce changes in other systems, especially an immunodepression that makes raise the risk of infections (as the flu) can take place and it can raise the probability of developing immunologic illnesses, as the cancer (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1994). Let us see data:

(1) the patient hipertensos enters levels of anxiety and more high anger that people with normal arterial pressure;

(2) people that suffer arrhythmias, migraines, asthma, skin dysfunctions, sexual malfunctions, digestive dysfunctions, muscular contractures, etc., in general they enter high levels of anxiety;

(3) the students in time of exams (their main period of stress) are more vulnerable to the flu or infectious illnesses of pulmonary type, being more vulnerable people with high anxiety to the exams.

The programas of training in reduction in value of anxiety improve the psychological well-being in all these cases, but they also diminish the physiologic activation and they improve the physical symptoms of these illnesses (reduction in value of the arterial pressure, decrease of the tachycardia in the arrhythmias, deletion of the pain in the migraines, etc.
In third place, the stress can overflow the individual so that it begins to develop a series of slopes or cognitive errors in the interpretation of its physiologic activation, or of its behavior, or of its pansies, or of some status that in turn take him/her to acquire a series of irrational fears, phobias, etc., that of for yes they are a problem of health (the calls anxiety disorders), but that in turn they can continue deteriorating the health in other forms. For example, a submitted person to prolonged stress can end up developing wonderful attacks, or crisis of anxiety that are strong reactions of anxiety that the individual cannot control, with autonomic strong downloads, fear to an attack to the heart, etc.
During this crisis the individual interprets his physiologic activation erroneously and he thinks that he will lack air (when hiperventilando is really), or that he/she will die from an attack to the heart, or that he/she will get dizzy and he/she will fall to the floor, or that he/she will become crazy, etc.
Later on, these wonderful attacks usually get complicated with an agoraphobia (relief of certain status that produce anxiety), with a dependence of the ansiolíticos, sometimes with depression reactions for not being able to resolve their problem, etc.
(Peurifoy, 1993; Gray-headed Vindel, 2002). These anxiety disorders are much more frequent in women that in males (from 2 to 3 more frequent times), but in general a crisis of anxiety coincides with one period of much of stress that has been prolonged a certain time.
Between 1,5% and the population's 3,5% it suffers wonderful dysfunctions with or without agoraphobia. The appearance age is between the 17 and the 35 years, fair in its more productive age.
The stress can also cause a series of disturbances on the cognitive higher processes (carefulness, perception, memory, taking of decisions, judgments, etc.) and a deterioration of the performance in academic or labor (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1996), labor (Gray-headed Vindel and Miguel Tobal, 1995) contexts, etc.
This way, the students with high appraisal anxiety enter a decrease of the performance for example, while the programas of training in reduction in value of anxiety to the exams don't only reduce this, but rather they improve the academic performance, raising the half note.

Treatment
Nowadays diverse methods exist to combat the stress, a phenomenon that can be approached from a biomedical point of view or, psychological; without a doubt, the combination of treatments will allow to obtain some more beneficial results for the person that suffers it.
From the biomedical focus the treatment for the stress is the recipe of tranquilizers or ansiolíticos, especially the benzodiacepinas that impact directly in the physiologic answers of stress.

The biofeedback techniques that consist on the learning of the voluntary control of the physiologic features and of the self-operating activities (the muscular pressure, the blood pressure, etc.); the respiration techniques and relaxation that are based on the idea that, releasing the body of the muscular (through the abdominal respiration, or of financial years of pressure-distension of the muscle groups, respectively) pressure, the "pressure of the mind" will be released; the cognitive-behavioral techniques, for example the concealed (that he/she consists on learning how to stop the pansy distorsionador that causes negative emotions and to substitute it for other more positive and more constructive) assertion, the concealed (with which the fellow learns how to relax himself while he imagines scenes that progressively go causing bigger anxiety) de-sensitization, the inoculation to the stress (with her he/she becomes trained as to confront and to relax you in the face of a comprehensive variety of stressful tests, developing new reaction forms beyond the fear and the anger); the autocontrol (that they suppose the training of a person to regulate their behaviors, directing their efforts to regulate their own environment, not to modify unmanageable possible or supposed interior states, through the manipulation of conditions antecedents and of consequences) techniques, etc.
Apart from the aforementioned treatments, the electric stimulation, the acupuncture or the audioanalgesia constitute alternative techniques to make in front of the stress and to their consequences.

Respiratory System

The vital oxygen
Our body is a wonderful system that we never finish knowing and to understand. Do you know how he/she is carried out the respiratory feature, that incessant exchange between our lungs and the environment? Today we will be about understanding this vital mechanism that carrying out are continually, but of which few times are conscious.

Thanks to the respiration the alive cells of the body take oxygen (O2) and they delete the dioxide of carbon (CO2) in a gaseous exchange between the air of the atmosphere and the organism. The red globules of the blood take O2 to the tissues, extracting dioxide of carbon. In the lungs, those red globules download CO2 in the air and of him they take their new imposition of O2, process that is named hematosis.

The respiration can be divided in different steps:
• The inspiration, that is to say, the entry of air toward the pulmonary alvéolos, during which enters oxygen. Also you the flame inhalation.
• The process of oxygen exchange and dioxide of carbon between the pulmonary alvéolos and the blood.
• The expiration that consists on the exit of the air from the pulmonary alvéolos toward the exterior, by means of which dioxide of carbon is deleted. Also you the flame exhalation.
• Exchange of O2 and CO2 between the cells and the blood.

Free of sludges:
Our respiratory system records of:
• The respiratory channels. They are the nasal graves, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and subdivisions of pettier caliber (until the terminal bronquiolo). Their feature is to drive the inspired air toward the respiratory portion of the lungs, to provide him/her heat and dampness if it was necessary, and to filter it of powder particles and irritating gases.
• The respiratory portion is formed by the respiratory bronquiolos, the alveolar conduits and the pulmonary alvéolos.

From the nasal graves until the terminal bronquiolos, all the respiratory channels stay wet for the mucus appearance. It is about a wet and sticky substance, taken place by cells isolated caliciformes and located in the linings of the channels and for glands submucosas. The mucus that many times cause us repulsion and nuisances, has a core function, without which the respiration could not be sustained by a lot of time:
• it humidifies the air and it maintains wet all the surfaces;
• it catches the powder particles and extraneous substances and it avoids them to reach the alvéolos.

But, how are all those refuses deleted? The flow of the mucus toward the exterior is responsibility of the hair cells. The cilias is species of hair in the surface of the cell that a movement ondulatorio that makes that the mucus flows slowly toward the larynx take place. Then this, together with the particles that it takes caught, they are swallowed toward the digestive system or ejected to the exterior by means of the cough.

An air trip
Let us imagine that we are oxygen molecules that are inspired with the atmospherical air toward our respiratory system. Which will our course be? The normal thing is that we enter for the nasal cavity, although in many occasions the air enters for the mouth, with that which loses the possibility of being filtered, heated and humidified. The inspired air is heated until an inferior temperature in 1 centigrade grade regarding the corporal temperature. Then we will cross the pharynx, the larynx and we will arrive to the trachea. This conduit ramifies, for what some of us will go for a bronchus and the other ones for the other one, following our trip toward each one of the lungs. In the lung the bronchi leave dividing and at the same time they diminish their caliber until forming the bronquiolos. These are continued dividing in even pettier conduits until the terminal bronquiolo and the respiratory bronquiolo. To form the alveolar conduits, alveolar sacks and the alvéolos finally. The lungs accomodate aprox. 300 million alvéolos.

But how will we arrive until the cells? Bare:
• Around each alvéolo there is a network of capillary sanguine. The oxygen goes by broadcast from the alvéolos to the capillary ones sanguine and the dioxide of carbon of the capillary ones toward the alvéolos.
• In the body tissues the oxygen passes from the blood to the cells, and the dioxide of carbon in opposed sense, also for the diffusion process.

The metabolic normal features of the cells require a constant contribution of oxygen and in turn they produce dioxide of carbon like refuse. In and of itself the imposition of dioxide of carbon in the cells is bigger and of oxygen it is pettier regarding that of the capillary ones, what produces the broadcast from a field of more concentration to another of pettier.


To separate air of foods
Let us see now how they are conformed each one of the parts of the system. The nose is formed by cartilage and bones, and its cavities are carried by an epithelium that secretes mucus. Would you like to know why he/she takes place the taponamiento of the nose and the characteristic heaviness of the I catch a cold? The mucosa that recovers the nasal cavities is highly irrigated, when dilating the vessels and to secrete mucus in excess those characteristic symptoms they take place.

The hair located to the entry of the nasal graves are important to filter the big particles. Due to the anatomy of the conduits the other particles collide against the mucus lining and they are caught and ported toward the pharynx.

The pharynx, on the other hand, it is located in a point in that you/they intersect the conduits of the digestive systems and respiratory. The foods pass from the pharynx to the esophagus and then to the stomach, while the air passes toward the larynx and the trachea. By means of a reflective act, a valve called epiglottis closes in the part higher of the larynx to avoid that the foods penetrate in the respiratory channels.

The larynx is the organ of the phonation. It uses the air exhaled to produce the voice, since in her they are the vocal chords. It also intervenes in the process of the cough that cleans the mucus channels and extraneous particles, closing the air channels in way of producing pressure; then he/she opens up and it allows the release of the air in sharp form.

Trachea, bronchi and bronquiolos
The trachea constitutes the inferior continuance of the larynx. It is an elasticum tube, of 10/12 cm of length and he/she has an approximate diameter to that of the index finger. Their elasticity offers it around 20 cartilaginous annuluses in horseshoe form, being located the half in the neck and the other half in the thorax, to end at level of the breastbone being divided in two bronchi: one right and other left. These go toward the lungs. Both have little more than half of the caliber of the trachea, being the most comprehensive right that the left one because the right lung is more voluminous. The right bronchus is divided in 3 secondary bronchi, corresponding to each lobe of the right lung. Of the 3 secondary bronchi 10 are born segmental or third: 3 for the higher lobe, 2 for the middle lobe and 5 for the inferior lobe. The left bronchus is divided in 2 secondary, corresponding bronchi each one to each lobe of the left lung. The secondary bronchi are divided in 8 tertiary bronchi: 4 for the higher lobe and 4 for the inferior.

When being divided, the bronchi go reducing their caliber until passing to microscopic dimensions, taking the bronquiolos name. Then in the terminal paths of the bronchial tree we have to the terminal bronquiolo, to the respiratory bronquiolo and alveolar conduit of the one that you/they leave the alveolar sacks and alvéolos.

The alvéolos possesses a fine wall that facilitates the gaseous exchange. Some cells called neumocitos type II that are in the alveolar wall, produce a substance called surfactante.

The surfactante, is an agent tensioactivo that forms a movie in the whole interior surface of the alvéolo him which it diminishes the superficial pressure preventing that the same one collapses during the expiration.
The lungs
The lungs are two big organs housed in the lateral parts of the thoracic cavity, contained mainly by the ribs, and recovered by a membrane called pleura. The right is bigger than the left one it records of 3 lobes, while the other alone has 2. They are constituted by the portion intrapulmonar of the bronchial tree, the blood vessels, the nerve branchs and the elasticum tissue. They are composed of lobulillos, those which in turn contain numerous alvéolos that conform the alveolar sacks.

The primary feature of the lung is the gaseous exchange between the blood and the atmospherical air. When inspiring the air the lung it raises their size and in the expiration it returns to their normal size. The lung expansion is carried out preferably in the longitudinal axis.

During the inspiration the diaphragm descends, he/she contracts, the ribs rise and it raises the volume of the thoracic box, on the contrary in the expiration, the diaphragm relaxes himself, he/she takes place the elasticum backspace of the lungs and the decrease of the ribs.


THE MUCUSES!
Why is the nasal respiration so important?
From the antiquity it was said that the one that breathes for the nose feels "well" and spiritually "strong." It was already from then on thought that it was very difficult to have a completely healthy person if he/she didn't breathe well for the nose

The nasal breathing failure damages to the organism because when not going the air by the nose he/she doesn't "become purified", he/she doesn't "warm" neither he/she "becomes moist." Later studios on respiratory physiology have demonstrated that if these they were the only features that it completes the nose, we could "close it", without causing any injury to the organism, since compensatory mechanisms exist throughout the whole respiratory tree.

The nose only is not good to purify, to heat and to humidify the air during the inspiration, this is completed and he/she has its importance, but much more important it is the feature that completes the nose in the expiration. The air that doesn't enter for the nose, is conditioned, although it is partially, for the suppletory mechanisms that the respiratory tree possesses in its itinerary.

Any mechanism compensator that allows to undelete the energy excess that escapes in each expiration for her, on the other hand, when the air comes out for the nose, it is colder and drier. This wonderful capacity to undelete energy in each act espiratorio is known as nasal enthalpy and he/she doesn't have suplencias. It only exists at level of the nose. For that reason so that a respiratory normal physiologic mechanism is completed it is necessary that the air among and exit for the nose.

At the same time, when analyzing the nasal respiration we realize the little thing that one says of the importance of the nose like creative organ of submitteds able to modify as much the nasal flow as the sub-atmospheric pressures intratorásicas, fact that influences in a decisive way in the gaseous pulmonary exchange and in the circulatory phase of the respiration. To weigh that the nasal submitteds are the 50% of the total ones of the respiratory tree, the man wants to breathe for the nose, and this is this way because besides being acondicionadora of the breathed air, it is starting from a series of submitteds and nasal reflections that he improves the relationship ventilation / perfusion, being also related with the system límbico that has a great importance in the subjective sensation of well-being.

Through their sensitive, sensorial innervation and neurovegetativa it participates of important reflections that rebound mainly on the respiratory system and cardiovascular, as the increase of the vasodilatación and the secretion of the nasal mucosa, the closing glótico and the sneeze like mainly defensive features, before the appearance of dry air, powder or irritating odors; the same as before unpleasant odors it is accentuated the phase espiratoria and the respiratory pause, while the inverse thing happens before the pleasant aromas, accentuating the phase inspiratoria meDíante brief and intense (sniff) inspirations.

Also a relationship exists between the feature termorreguladora of the skin and the nasal permeability, since in the face of the cold he/she takes place a vasodilatación of the nasal mucosa that diminishes the entry of air, the opposite it happens before the heat; and in the nasal mucosa the synchronous correlation of the respiration is boosted with the movements of the nasal wing.

Also before the odors of food the secretion of saliva is boosted, and these they supplement the gustatory sensation. The nasal grave together with the paranasal breasts and the pharynx acts as box of resonance for the phonation and they add him/her harmonic components to the voice shade.

On the other hand, neurofisiológicamente will see that, for nervous completions, the nasal cavity is related with the control of certain brain activities. A group of physiologists of UBA, directed by the Professor Affani, they were, estuDíando the brain, with a surprising fact: "the nasal respiration against all that one came affirming, has a fundamental importance in the regulation of the activity bioeléctrica and of other physiologic manifestations of the brain" whose importance, newly you is beginning to investigate. We will only say that he/she has injerencia in the regulation of the social and sexual behavior, very related with the system determinant límbico in the legal capacity and the emotional expressions, I eat the fear and the anger for example starting from the organ nasal vómero. Starting from the nasal respiration, endocrine, metabolic phenomena are also regulated, of the behavior of the pleasure and displacer; he/she also has injerencia in the features reproductoras and of regulation of dream and vigil. It completes a paper in the learning and in the impermanence of the memory, and he/she has alimentary and reproductive features.

The problems of nasal ventilation can be in all the ages and the most frequent lawsuits are usually:
- Allergic; rinitis and rhinosinusitis, be already seasonal or perennial, of a periodic control.
- Infectious; viral or bacterial, some can be recursive or chronic.
- Structural; adenoiditis, septal deviations, cornetes hypertrophy, polyps, etc.
- Hygienic habits; addictions (tabaquismo, cocainómanos, etc.).
- Environmental; excessive contamination.

In most of these cases, if you doesn't end up modifying the lawsuit of the nasal obstruction, the individual changes his respiratory nasal habit, for the buccal or combined respiration in an involuntary way, passing desapercibida to the end of certain time, settling down as permanent, with the consequential disadvantages of this.

All told that prefixed, is alcoholatura and fundamental to think that prevention of the health doesn't exist, if the problems are not attended that determine the decrease or the replacement of the ventilation through the nasal graves that it is the physiologic one and the one that bigger benefits contribute to the development of the individual's well-being. It is necessary to change the communio concept that underestimates their importance in the general maintenance of the health, then and for it is convenient to insister about the necessity that all the professionals of the health investigate, prevent, Díagnostiquen and treat the causal factors of the deficiencies in the nasal respiration; as well as the population's permanent education so that he/she can think of carrying out a precocious query.

Respiratory mechanics: coordinated movements
The respiration would not be possible without the joint operation of a series of structures, muscular and nervous, that you/they mobilize the whole respiratory system with the vital purpose of capturing oxygen.

Although our lungs possess the appropriate structure to dilate and to contract, according to the income or exit of air, they need of the joint help of other organs and tissues that facilitate the true system of pumping that allows us to breathe.
The muscles involved in the respiration are important to carry out the alcoholatura, but vital, inspiration movements and expiration.

The thoracic cavity houses the main muscles of the respiration. The inspiration allows to fill our lungs of air. In status of effort we make the maneuver of Valsalva. Our brain is able to accommodate the respiration to diverse status, like under the water. Nervous control of the respiration The diaphragm

It is the main muscle involved in the respiratory process. It possesses a similar form to that of a parachute and squatter great part of the surface of the thorax. It separates at this last of the abdomen and it is perforated by a series of holes that you/they facilitate the advance of some structures. Among them they highlight the esophagus (hole esofágico) and the aorta (aortic hole).

This important muscle (the flatest in our body) is formed by three groups of muscle fibers that intersect.

Their edges are wired to the spine for the later part; with the inferior ribs for the sides and for before, with the part distal of the breastbone, forming a true dome that houses to important organs located in this sector, as the liver, the stomach and the spleen. It is asymmetric - it is more extensive for before that from behind - since the ribs of the part previous of our body are higher. It possesses different parts: a vertebral (well-known as pillars of the diaphragm) part, another lumbar (fibers that you/they go from the first lumbar vertebra to the twelfth rib) one, the costal (from the seventh rib up to twelfth o'clock) portion and the fibers esternales (located in the inferior part of the breastbone).
Intercostal muscles

Another series of muscles, housed in the thorax, they also participate in the respiratory process. They are the intercostal muscles that allow the movement of the ribs up, below and toward out, expanding the chest, throwing the lungs forward and increasing this way their volume.

Let us imagine that our thorax is a true cage. The grids would be the ribs, each one located beside the other one. The blank spaces among each one of them (intercostal spaces) is occupied by these flat muscles that form a true tissue in the interior field of our trunk.

The extraneous intercostal muscles participate in the inspiration and the interns, in the expiration. Their joint share is able to stabilize the size reached by the intercostal space before any movement, mainly during the share of the diaphragm.
Inspiration and expiration

The constant turnover of oxygen and the exit of dioxide of carbon demands a specific organization to allow the income (inspiration) and expulsion (expiration) of air. Since the lungs don't possess an own musculature to make these processes, the joint share of the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm allows the gaseous exchange. They increase or they diminish the thoracic capacity, in accordance with the injunctions of our organism, enlarging or reducing the capacity of the elasticum lungs.

To the moment to inspire, the diaphragm contracts, changing radical way the physiognomy and capacity of the thoracic box. When we inhale air from the exterior, the contraction of the diaphragm presses the abdominal viscera and it allows a considerable increase of the space of the thorax, what grants the necessary surface so that our lungs fill out with the inspired air. They also contribute in this task the intercostal muscles that contract and they make that the ribs move up and out, increasing a little more the capacity of the thoracic box.

To the moment to eject the air from our lungs (expiration), the involved muscles relax themselves. The diaphragm undeletes its parachute form, the ribs move down and (in it it also influences the graveness) toward inside, contracting to the lungs and undeleting the initial space of the thoracic cavity. The flow of air finally will return toward the exterior and it will be exhaled by the air higher channels.
Nervous control of the respiration

As most of the processes that happen to the interior of our organism, the respiration is controlled by our central computer: the brain. In a true chain of reactions, the human body is able to coordinate all the structures and receivers that adjust the ventilation to the physical necessities of each moment, so much in status of rest as of movement.

From the cerebral trunk alcoholatura and involuntary diverse features of our body are controlled, among them, the respiration. The brainstem is the segment specific manager of determining the rhythm ventilatorio. Their share difficultly is perceptible, since to the being an automatic process, we don't have conscience that we are carrying out it.

Alone he/she thinks by how many times you have inspired and exhaled while you read this bonus. Of insurance you don't know it, because for you to breathe is obvious.

To facilitate a respiratory appropriate answer, our body counts, also, with a series of receivers that you/they are boosted before extraneous substances, respiratory affections and abnormal concentrations of oxygen and dioxide of carbon, among other lawsuits.

The receivers located in the lung receive the mecanorreceptores name. Their feature is to capture the received information and to transmit it to the respiratory center, through the vague (manager of the visceral control) ledge. These they are divided in three types: distension receivers, irritation and vascular or yuxtacapilares.

Those of distension are those that respond in a more dilatory way and their stimulation causes the elongation of the smooth muscles of the air channels during the inspiration.

As long as, the irritation receivers are of quick stimulation and they possess a purpose rather defensive; they are activated by irritating gases, allergic reactions, engorgement and pulmonary embolism, among other factors, generating answers like the cough.

Lastly, the vascular receivers or yuxtacapilares are located in the space among alvéolos and capillary, being boosted by processes that involve to this field (interstitial edema or the share of chemical irritant, among other).
Gaseous concentrations

Our body also reacts in the face of the changes in the normal concentrations of the gases involved in the respiratory exchange.

For it, it has chemoreceptive as much for the oxygen as for the dioxide of carbon, located in their legal age in some sectors of the artery carotid and in the artery aorta.

The receivers that you/they react before the appearance of dioxide of carbon are divided in central (cells located in the brainstem) and peripheral (enter in the artery carotid and in the aorta); while the receivers managers of maintaining a normal level of oxygenation are single peripherals and they are located in the branch of the carotid.
Muscular receivers

As much the intercostal muscles as the diaphragm possess muscular (sensorial receivers located to the interior of the muscular structure) spindles that capture the elongation of each one of them. This information is determinant to control the contractionary pressure of these respiratory muscles.
Studios point out, also that these important receivers would be involved in the dyspnea (subjective sensation of ullage of air), when they perceive that the muscular effort is not related with the capacity reached ventilatoria.

Annexed muscles
Other muscular structures that serve during the trial as accessory elements exist respiratory. In general, they participate in him during the realization of financial years and in breathing failure episodes. Among the secondary muscles that collaborate in the respiration they highlight the scalene (previous and later) muscle, esternocleidomastoideo, trapeze, the abdominal rectums, the oblique ones and the transverse of the abdomen.

Maneuver of Valsalva
By means of a muscular coordinated share and of some structures, our organism can make the maneuver of Valsalva. This consists on carrying out a forced expiration, maintaining the nose, the mouth and the closed glottis. This way, you raises the pressure intrapulmonar, it downloads the heart rate and he/she decreases the sanguine flow in the thorax. In quotidian (when coughing, to inflate a globe or to defecate) status we make it; also, people that transport heavy objects and the lifters of weights use it to maintain the stability of the thoracic box and to optimize the operation of the muscles located in this field.
I Date Icarito
How another effect causes the contraction of the diaphragm? It presses the liver, clearing it of blood and improving this way the venous return.
To what do we call respiratory frequency? To the number of times that repeats the inspiration cycle and expiration in one minute.
What factors do they determine the respiratory frequency? The age, the sex and the physical activity, among other.
How many respirations do we carry out per minute? On or about, 15 at 20. Fact
What is the hypercapnia? It is the excessively high appearance of dioxide of carbon in the blood.
LEARN HOW TO BREATHE!!
For what reason To breathe is to live and there is not life without respiration.

The boy, when it leaves their mother's stomach he/she gives a long and deep inspiration, it retains it a moment to extract their vital estates and he/she exhales her. That beginning their life.
The old man gives a weak sigh, and his life comes out through him.
To breathe is the first that we make when he/she begins our life and the last when it concludes.

The respiration is the most important feature in our body.
From that first inspiration until the final weak sigh, the human being cannot stop to breathe, he/she will be able to stop to eat or of drinking some days, even to be days without sleeping, but it will be him/her impossible to be more than some few minutes without receiving any encouragement.

The respiration is the motor of any activity that you carry out in your life. If you like to practice any sport you will be able to make it better if you improve your respiration. If you get tired with easiness or it suffers stress you can improve your status mediating respiration techniques.
Mainly if you want to start or to reinforce your on the way to personal increment, it will be of great help for you to learn how to breathe well.

But what it happens, we have some enormous lungs and we only take advantage of a very petty percent of them. We breathe the quantity of enough air for not dying.

And do I wonder for what reason he/she has given us the nature some so big lungs if in fact we only use a petty part of them to live?.

The answer is very plain. Not we are aware of the energy great power that exercises the oxygen of the air inside us.
The non alone air is life for us, it is energy, it is vitality, it is trust in oneself (to), it is harmony, it is relaxation, it is tranquility, it is mental calm, it is interior peace,...

One doesn't realize the influence that the respiration exercises on us until it doesn't prove it.

Any status of our life comes defined by the respiration that we have in that moment. In the same way if you change the form and the rhythm of your respiration, you will change your interior and extraneous state.

He/she observes your respiration when you are tired (to) or I get off energy, or when you are sad, or when you are nervous (to), or when you are mad. If in that moment you change your breathing rate, you will change your state directly. Non failure. It is automatic and plain of making.

If you are mad you cannot breathe sedately, your respiration is chaotic, abnormal and without rhythm. If you change your rhythm and faces deeper respirations, your anger will disappear. The anger cannot exist without a type of certain respiration.

Evidently when more practices that respiration change more effect will take place on you. It is single repetition issue and practice, but I am not requesting you anything impossible, here alone we are speaking of breathing, nothing else.

# With the continuing practice you will obtain a valuable tool that will allow you: To control the status of pressure and stress. The respiration is the best tool to calm the mind.
# To load you of energy and vitality when you are tired. In few minutes you can recharge yourself the batteries. It is almost milagoso. He/she changes your state automatically. I before arrived at the end of the almost defeated day of fatigue. Now I sit down with an incredible energy during the whole day and I always want to make things until last hour of the day.
# To begin the day with good foot. He/she practices technical of respiration when waking up. You obtain vitality and mind clarity and you drag them during the whole day. That you make now? Not you will be of those that he/she says "until I don't take a coffee I am not nobody in the mornings."
# To cheer up when you are sad.
# To relax you before sleeping.

The act of being breathed has gone forming in us since we are born. Now he/she has transformed into an automatic act and therefore it is controlled by our subconscious one.

To discover the power of the respiration it is necessary first to be aware of her, that is to say we have to know and to make conscious our self-operating form of current respiration. This means that we cease of breathing at random, abnormal and unconsciously and that we learn how to breathe consciously, with mental concentration

It begins to be aware of your respiration in each moment of the day. The section Like we Breathe he/she can give you information about in what aspects of your respiration you have to notice.

As you breathe when waking up before getting up of the bed. He/she will give you a lot of information of like you have slept.
As you breathe in your work, in the moments of pressure and of stress.
As you breathe when you make some physical effort or some sport.
As you breathe when you are calm (to) and relaxed (to).
As you breathe when you are mad (to).

When you either have free a while of sat down foot or lying, he/she closes the eyes and it follows the flow of your respiration. It notes like the air enters inside your body that you leave of you it scans and like it leaves when exhaling. This is the method but utilized to enter in a relaxation state or meditation. Make it it leaves of your life. If you practice it during a time, it will be enough a pansy, a concentration moment to contact inwardly with your respiration.

To be aware of your respiration will contribute to your non alone life knowing like you breathe, but a bigger autoconocimiento of yourself. The conscience involves a to look toward inside you, a knowledge of your body inside. Not you can see it but you can feel it and to imagine like it is and like it works. This process comes closer more to you and each part of you.
We have forgotten that we don't know the house in which live, it is more, many times we live unaware to her. This of being conscious takes place in us that we learn how to take care of our body almost without realizing. In my particular case, I am taking care more than before without having me offered him directly. I am giving up foods or another type of stocks without making any type of effort.
Is it as that I am more friend of myself and your you would harm to your friend?.
Another enhancement that it produces the fact of being conscious it is that with the step of the days you will note a great difference in your concentration capacity making that every time is deeper. A bigger concentration capacity together with the power of feeling your respiration will help you to have bigger conscience of all that happens so much inside you as outside.

Every time will be you easier to concentrate when you need to pay carefulness to something and to relax you when you want.
Starting from here, Practice and Repetition
Only with the previous point I feel already satisfied. The bare conscience of your respiration will change many things yourself.

I believe that the respiration is something that cannot become trained. Each person has a different breathing rate and therefore each one debit side to discover it for if same. The respiration is an individual phenomenon.
It searches your best breathing rate for each status of your life, practice it in a conscious way until little by little he/she leaves making insconciente and become partly of you.

A commission, if you want to deepen in the techniques of the respiration, an expert searches that could be a good yoga professor. It follows their commissions and he/she practices the financial years under their tracking and control.

Many financial years different from respirations exist, each one of which it influences in a physical and mental aspect of us. In the section Respirations you will find many respirations that you can practice. Some are very plain and others that demand a higher practice level. All have in common that they bring near you to a bigger knowledge of yourself and in your way of confronting each status of your life.

Not never force any respiration, he/she practices only those with those that you feel comfortable (to). He/she also chooses the moment of the appropriate day. If you practice some invigorating respiration before sleeping you won't be able to paste eye in the whole night.
