“The heart beats so fast it a racing train!
The heart is emotions the data is brain!
If only you could control them as you may
Not possible though tonight and today!”
You have only 1 percent control of your body and mind! The remaining 99 percent are not under your direct control!
another zombie blog!? Well, not really!
read on!
Your autonomic nervous system is a part of your overall nervous system that controls the automatic functions of your body that you need to survive. These are processes you don’t think about and that your brain manages while you’re awake or asleep.
You do not have a control of your heart beat! It can beat faster or slow but that is not under your direct control!
You try to do things which actually make your heart beat faster and you sometimes avoid things which makes it so! Your heart does beat faster when you see someone you like but then that is a blog for another day!
Your lungs and diaphragm work in tandem without your effort! You breathe even in your sleep! Which actually means that you do not have any direct control over it! Try this! Consciously observe how you are breathing with your nose and try to count the rate per minute. After some time you get a nagging feeling that it is uncomfortable and the act is so automatic that its scary! What if your body suddenly decides to stop breathing!
Did you know that the conscious recognition of the act of breathing is actually called dyspnea or difficulty in breathing!
So still breathing normally, well lets move on to swallowing!
The most common complaint we have in the throat department is that there is something stuck in the throat! We call it the Foreign body sensation and it is very difficult to treat! Because apart from some gastritis and some allergy medication, the whole problem is the fact that the person has got an uncomfortable awareness of swallowing which should have been done automatically!
All you have to do it put a piece of food in your mouth and it will be taken care!
Then the most amazing thing which is automatic and still is a big mystery to neurologists and scientists all over the world! Stories and poems are written about it and still no one knows how and why it happens!
Sleep and dream!
You can decide when to sleep is your opinion only! While in truth you only decide when you lie down and close your eyes! The autonomic system and the body within your body decides when you sleep! Of course when it sleep, it takes control of your other functions and that is the beauty! When your conscious mind is not active, your body still carries on most of the work! Which is why is it magical!
This is also the reason why anesthesia is magical! How some drugs induce sleep and reduce pain while in fact you do have pain but just that it is ignored or not sensed by the body and after some times you are awakened! Every time you go to sleep or anesthesia and wake up is actually a great achievement!
So if anyone asks you what great thing have you achieved today, well you can say, “I got up from sleep!”
The very fact that there are so many functions which are not under your control is the principle behind lie detector tests and other tests! There are specific professionals who see and monitor your behaviour by looking at your face and automatic actions and then make a profile about you!
In the novels by Jeffery Deaver with a woman called Katheryn Dance, the author shows how Katheryn is a behaviour analyst who observes the body movements and kinesis to form a profile of a person! This later on helps them solve many cases!
Things like getting a flush on your cheeks or sweating or pupils getting dilated or having a goosebump are the innumerable things which are automatic and not in control of your mind normally!
It is almost as if there is a child or a very old adult inside your body and your body is under his or her control! He or she decides when you sleep or get up and how you eat or breathe or how high or low your heart rate goes though you can make some requests in between!
The basic idea here is that when you cannot control even 99 percent of your own body then why does a human try to control others or any other aspect of the world is simply beyond my mind or control! Of course full control of a scene was done by the birthday celebrity Sampath Kumar! A very dear actor for Kannadigas and a great human being! We know him as Vishnuvardhan!
Now request your inner child or old person to sleep and sleep!
Shubh Ratri!
