You have more senses than you know

Scientists are baffled by individuals insensitive to pain because their bodies have compensated in mysterious ways

As you may have noticed in this News section, there are many public news articles that frequently reference the right brain.

Scientists — as well as people from all walks of life — are recognizing the role of the right brain.

Of course, we have been promoting that for quite while! But we take that understanding further.

I ran across an article recently that caught my attention. I wanted to give you a bit of comment about it, and then pass it along to you.

A recent article from the online publication Live Science talks about how scientists were baffled by a few individuals who were born without the ability to feel pain.

At first that might sound rather convenient! :-) But imagine how dangerous that could be if you did not know that you were physically injuring yourself.

Anyway, the scientists found that these people lacked the proper nerve endings for feeling pain.

Yet these people still had a sense of touch, including the ability to feel hot or cold, and to tell if an object was rough or smooth.

How could that be?

Apparently their bodies “adapted” to the absence of normal nerve endings by using other (different) nearby nerves to take over that job.

This is similar to how we have said that the two hemispheres of the brain are somewhat "plastic" and can adapt themselves to compensate for a lack in the functioning of the other hemisphere (such as could happen through a severe head trauma or accident).

Being so, it also follows that you can strengthen your right brain (because in today’s culture and society the right brain is usually not as active as most people’s left brain). Your right brain is your creative, artistic and intuitive side. Most people wouldn’t mind more of that!

Here’s a direct link to the article:

Humans Have Hidden Sensory System

The idea here is that you have other senses and abilities that you might not yet be aware of.

That’s what we mean when we talk about “frequencies” — subtle energies that many people may not realize that they are sensitive to (or have not paid attention to!).

Like the frequencies of colors, sound waves, thought waves and heart waves.

It’s inspirational to know that we are more than we think. (Or feel!)  :-)

Kindly,

Pamela
