Joyfulness and peacefulness release polypeptides to bathe the neurotransmitters and create healthy cells. These are your working team to keep the city alive and well and you supply the tools and supplies. Poor Nutrition, stress, and toxic input can destroy the working team, one by one, sometimes many at a time, leaving the others weak and disadvantaged. Transportation can go down. The electrical grid can be on the brink. What happens when the trash collection does not show up for a few weeks? Everything is connected and working together starting at the cellular level. Life force is enhanced here. Life force is the power company in the city of you.The power company is necessary for all other operations to continue. If there is pollution (illness, poor nutrition, lifestyle choices) the plant operates at a much lower output level working under adverse conditions. A malfunction in the physical body appears long after the problem began on a cellular level.
