In the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know” they discuss emotion and feeling in relation to the brain in detail, as well as how you can become addicted to your emotions.
They explain emotion and the brain and its effects this way:
"The brain is made up of tiny nerve cells called neurons which have tiny branches that connect to other neurons to form a neuronette.
The brain builds up all its concepts by way of associative memory -- ideas, thoughts and memories are all constructed and interconnected in this neuronette and all have a possible relationship with each other.
The hypothalamus is like a little mini factory that assembles certain chemicals that match the certain emotions we experience.
So there are chemicals for anger, sadness, frustration, victimization -- there are chemicals for every emotional state we experience...
The moment we experience that emotion and feeling in our body or in our brain, the hypothalamus will automatically assemble the peptide or chemical and release it through the pituitary and into the bloodstream...
Every single cell in the body has these receptors on the outside and one cell can have thousands of receptors. When a peptide docks on the receptor...
Like a key going into a lock, it sends a signal into the cell...
If you get angry, frustrated or suffer on a daily basis you give reasons for the victimization in your life.
You're rewiring and reintegrating that neuronette on a daily basis and that neuronette now has a long term relationship with all those other nerve cells called an identity..."
EFT allows you to interrupt those negative thought patterns and memories so you can let go of the associated negative emotions like anger and resentment quickly and easily.
Watch this excerpt from "What The Bleep Do We Know" to understand the power and effect of emotions and the brain.
