For a few years now, scientists have known about the existence of another brain within our bodies - billions of connected neurons, molecules (neurotransmitters) that transmit orders and induce independent reactions. This second brain, or "brain down below," is none other than our stomach.
It can function totally independently and carries out far more than just digestion. It reigns over a spectacular colony of one hundred thousand billion bacteria (our gut flora) whose activity is thought to have an impact on our personalities and decisions, and our shyness or temerity.
Even more astonishing: certain diseases of the brain, like Parkinson's disease, for example, could stem from the degeneration of our intestinal neurons. And we could even treat our stomach pains with hypnosis - curing our stomachs by "talking to them." All these major discoveries have revolutionized our approach to an organ that was previously considered to be dull and passive. The stomach's intelligence is a new avenue of research that is fascinating research teams the world over.

Researchers have classified a brand-new organ inside our bodies, one that's been hiding in plain sight in our digestive system this whole time.

Emeran Mayer, M.D. had this to say after participating in the Healthy Gut Happy Brain workshop with author Ilchi Lee and witnessing Lee's work to empower people to be healthy naturally and live in peace and harmony with one another: "Ilchi Lee is a visionary and best selling author, whose work has focused on teaching about the importance of the brain for reaching one’s full potential, optimal health of the individual and of our planet. His latest book “Belly Button Healing” is based on the new appreciation of the brain gut micro biome axis in Western science, while at the same time connecting to ancient wisdoms about the energy centers in our bodies, the meridians and chakras. There has been an exponential growth in scientific interest in brain-gut interactions, and the special role that trillions of microbes living in our intestines have in these interactions. Alterations in the brain-gut micro biome dialogue have been implicated in many chronic disorders, from irritable bowel syndrome, to obesity, autism spectrum disorders, and Parkinson's. Recent studies have also demonstrated that this communication may be altered in anxiety disorders and depression.

In his book, Ilchi Lee elegantly describes the importance of healthy brain-gut interactions not only for our overall wellbeing, stress relief, and relaxation, but also for pain relief, increased circulation of the viscera, improved digestive function and many other body functions. He also gives practical instructions to use the belly button to activate the energy flow from the digestive system to the brain and the rest of the body. These simple exercises include self massage of the belly button area, partner massage of the area, abdominal breathing focused on the belly button, and direct mechanical stimulation of the area with a special “wand.” The combination of becoming mindful of the abdomen, engaging it with abdominal breathing, and targeted mechanical stimulation is a simple way to activate this vital energy center within our body and take advantage of the important role this system has in our health and wellbeing."
