What Are Neurons?

Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body. They are the fundamental building blocks of the brain and spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system, as well as the peripheral nervous system.

Neurons have a unique structure that allows them to communicate with other cells. They have a cell body, which contains the nucleus and other organelles, and two types of processes called dendrites and axons. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body, while axons transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or to muscles and glands.

The communication between neurons is accomplished through the transmission of electrical and chemical signals. When a neuron receives a signal, it generates an electrical impulse called an action potential, which travels down the axon to the axon terminal.

 At the axon terminal, the electrical impulse triggers the release of chemical neurotransmitters, which cross the gap between neurons called the synapse, and bind to receptors on the receiving neuron. This process allows the signal to be transmitted from one neuron to the next, allowing for communication and coordination throughout the nervous system.

How is the Human Body Electric? Biopsychology and Spirit

Have you ever wondered where energy comes from? When we speak about the human body, there is a physical, electric energy that we make. Besides spiritual energy, which is more of a mystical concept, all humans create electrical energy. This is an important part of life and what gives us the "spark" of life. It is also how our brains and spinal cord send signals to control some of the most important functions of life and where our consciousness comes from.

The human body is electric because it generates and conducts electrical signals through various physiological processes. One of the most important systems responsible for this is the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Nerve cells, also known as neurons, communicate with each other by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, from one end of the neuron to the other. These signals travel along the neuron's axon, which is surrounded by a fatty sheath called myelin that helps to insulate and speed up the transmission of the signal. 

The electrical signals generated by neurons can be measured with instruments such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) or electromyogram (EMG), which are used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to the nervous system.

In addition to the nervous system, other parts of the body also generate electrical signals. For example, the heart generates electrical signals that regulate its rhythm and the muscles in the body generate electrical signals that control their contractions.

Overall, the human body is electric due to the various electrical signals generated by different physiological processes, especially those related to the nervous system.

Be The Magician Of Your Life

Be the magician of your life. Do not wait for others to bring their energy, creative power, or character to make you whole. You are a divine spark of God's love manifest on this earth for this time and for a specific purpose. You hold divine power in your hands and it is by setting your will, your mind, and your emotions in alignment with what you want to create that you will manifest that which you desire.

Do you see the image of the magician on the card below? The magician is in a contemplative, and meditative pose yet is full of action and energy. This shows that the magician is in touch with their inner core and knows that their power comes from being centered and connected to both the earth and Spirit. The top of the magician's head, where the crown chakra is located, is affixed with an infinity symbol. There is nothing you cannot create when you are connected to Spirit and serve as a channel for the highest good of all.

How is your energy today? Do you feel like the master magician that you are? Are you taking control and authority of your life by setting your intentions and then bringing them into manifestation through your own divine power?

Meditation is connecting to the divine spark within you. Prayer is connecting to the divine outside of you. By bringing your body, spirit, mind, will, and emotions into balance, you will purify your aura, hear from Spirit clearly, and use your creative gifts to manifest the things you intend to bring into reality.

This world is designed to rob you of your divine power. Media, the news, and the daily struggles of life, all blind us to our own power and purpose. How easy it is to forget that we are lightworkers here to channel and reflect divine love. So too, we are often led astray by the hustle and bustle of daily life that we lose touch with our power core. We lose faith in our own innate gifts and abilities and sometimes become stagnant waiting for someone with "great power" to come and give us some of theirs. 

Please take another look at the Magician tarot card and notice how the magician is seated and has both hands in motion. From your very hands and palm chakras comes the power to create and heal. This is where your energy centers are located that results in the gift of laying on of hands to heal.

Not only does this energy center heal physically, spiritually, and emotionally, but it is also creative. You have the power to spark universes into existence. Align your purpose with the divine purpose of Spirit and watch as miracles manifest.

You are magic. Be the magician in your life.
