Holiday Cellular Memories and

    Multi-Sensory Overload

The  Holiday Season  is a gigantic multi-sensory overload. The smells. The tastes (and calories). The sparkles and sounds and all the touchy hugs and kisses (the cortisol levels) And the Spirit.

 Family traditions and rituals engage all of your senses and are heightened during special events. Mix all of these senses together with the emotions attached to them and you create cellular memories.

When a  memory is triggered by the 6 senses the body integrates itself with the dance of emotions. It can create  mental confusion. You are now a time traveler. Your body is in the present time but the rest of your self  is in this place of recollection.  These thoughts have risen out of your subconscious and into your now leaving you trying to figure out where  this feeling came from.

Be patient with yourself and others. Follow a few of the guidelines in this newsletter. These tips help you honor your emotions instead of ignoring them Seek professional help if your emotions turn towards depression.
