Endorphins

by Samsaran

Endorphins are among the brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters. At least 20 types of endorphins have been demonstrated in humans. Endorphins can be found in the pituitary gland, in other parts of the brain, or distributed throughout the nervous system.

Stress and pain are the two most common factors leading to the release of endorphins. Endorphins interact with the opiate receptors in the brain to reduce our perception of pain and act similarly to drugs such as morphine and codeine. In contrast to the opiate drugs, however, activation of the opiate receptors by the body’s endorphins does not lead to addiction or dependence.

In addition to decreased feelings of pain, secretion of endorphins leads to feelings of euphoria, modulation of appetite, release of sex hormones, and enhancement of the immune response. With high endorphin levels, we feel less pain and fewer negative effects of stress. 

Here are some generally accepted ways to generate Endorphins:

Exercise: Exercising the body is a great way to health and generates endorphins. One of the effects is the so called “runner’s high”

Deep Consciousness Bodywork: Practices such as yoga, Tai Chi, and walking meditation work wonders for the production of endorphins.

Music & Dance: Moving the body in rhythmic motion such as dancing to music is a great way to activate endorphins. Singing and playing a musical instrument also release endorphins.

Laughter: Humor is a great way to induce production of endorphins.

Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is great at activating endorphins. Try taking a hot bath with candles and natural oils. Also, incense and natural flowers have a relaxing effect.

Foods:  Healthy, tasty and stimulating food like raw chocolate is a great way to stimulate endorphins.

Massage: A good massage will generally release bottled up energy and activate those feel good endorphins.

Sexual Intimacy: being intimate with your partner (and yourself) is a wonderful way to divine union that activates endorphins in the process. 

Acts of Compassion: Helping others in even small ways boosts our endorphin levels.
