Ancient yogic wisdom created maps for the control of the mind, body, and emotions.  The new field of interpersonal neurobiology describes how the mind is both embodied in our brain and nervous system as well as embedded in our relationships.  The quality of those relationships - whether they evoke love, compassion, and mindfulness or fear, anger, and constriction - affects the release of informational molecules.  These "mind molecules" in turn affect gene expression.  Loving and nourishing ourselves wisely, in accord with our unique emotional, physiological, and spiritual needs, is a missing  piece in the puzzle of emotional and physical health.
