On page 196 in the BLakeslee book they discuss the power of belief. One quote in particular will be our guide for this inquiry:
"In some people, researchers have found that immune cells called cytokines-the kind that make you feel sick- can be activated without a pathogen present. Recent research is starting to show that the central nervous system has a lot more active interaction with the immune system than previously thought. Emotions and beliefs, not just bona fide disease, can trigger the sickness response." pg 197
Considering that we are spending so much time conceptually and experientially understanding the Sensory division of the CNS (central nervous system), how then for you do you connect your immune system and your sensory nervous system? How is your awareness of your own movement via the sensory nervous system interacting with your immune system?
