The Endocrine System

The Endocrine System (Relaxation) is composed of specialized glands that secrete chemicals known as hormones directly into the blood. The Endocrine system is the body's long term communications system.

It is a collection of glands that produce the hormone necessary for normal bodily functions. These hormones are responsible for a wide variety of physiological processes, including regulating metabolism, growth, sex development,  emotions and energy levels. They help the body maintain "homeostasis" a state of chemical and emotional balance. The endocrine glands release hormones directly into bloodstream where they are transported to organs and tissues throughout the entire body. The endocrine glands regulate the functioning of all body's system.

The Endocrine System is comprised of:

  • Hypothalamus
  • Pineal
  • Pituitary glands
  • Thyroid
  • Parathyroid
  • Thymus
  • Adrenals - holds physical and emotional stress
  • Pancreas - produces insulin
  • Ovaries (in women) - stimulated by the pituitary gland, they produce their own hormones.
  • Testes (in men) - stimulated by the pituitary gland, they produce their own hormones.

"The Paved Highway of Belief through touch and sight leads straightest into the human heart and the precints of the mind."- Lucretius

As long as the spirit is strong, the body will follow for the body is forever the slave of your mind and can be willed to achieve great feats.

A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.
