How our bones probably sense gravity and can reverse time: Bushmen Trance Dance healing

Their bodies did not seem to realize that they had become heavier, presumably because of the low levels of osteocytes, and the animals remained artificially plump.

The implication of this result is that healthy bones seem to sense changes in body mass and then somehow initiate alterations to appetite and eating that can return the body to its previous weight, says John-Olov Jansson, a neuroscientist at the University of Gothenburg who led the study.

He and his colleagues call the bones’ sensor a “gravitostat,” which is triggered by body weight bearing down on bones, a result of the inexorable pressures of gravity.

And they suspect, he says, that a similar gravitostat exists in people.

The possibility could help to explain why sitting for hours is associated with obesity, he continues. When we sit, much of our body weight is supported by cushions rather than bones, leaving our skeletons unaware of how much we actually weigh and whether that amount has changed or should change.

Dear Professor Davidson: In regards to our "distant prehistory" the San Bushmen original human culture still exists and before contact, as Elizabeth Marshall Thomas details, the culture had no warfare, no rape, no homosexuality and no masturbation. Marshall Thomas points out this culture of the trance dance training is from before human language developed!! And for example the Pygmy culture has very similar training as the San Bushmen and DNA science shows they split about 70K years ago. There are many books on the San Bushmen culture - all the males were required to train in "staying power" through trance dance celibacy and fasting. Dr. Bradford Keeney is the only "master healer" in the Bushmen culture - who is not from the Bushmen. But there are specific psychophysiological reasons for their training that then got maintained in Chinese and Indian cultures - the yogic meditation and Tai Chi, etc. So anthropologists have studied - how in fact our original culture was much more sophisticated than modern humans - in terms of doing spiritual healing and maintaining peace.

Eland Bull trance dance ritual during first female menstruation at New Moon - oldest language

“There are things about the antiquity of the Bushmen’s culture that we didn’t know. A musicologist found very important music which was used at a woman’s first menarche called ‘elan music’ (honoring the fat-rich antelope). This ‘elan music’ was also present in other language groups of other Bushmen language groups and also the noun-less speakers who are not exactly Bushmen but they’re related. This means that way back before these groups diverged,
somebody invented or composed (this) music and then they took it with them.”
Interview with Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, Paula Gordon Show (Peterborough, New Hampshire, July
19, 2008).

“The !Kung San of southern Africa, for example, seek to heal rifts in personal relationships within the community using music and repetitive dance movement to trigger trance states. Many religions have practices such as chanting and fasting that invoke similar mental states: blinding light bursts within the head….It is easy to see how this activity could have been extremely beneficial to our ancestors, uniting the group, discouraging free riders, and so increasing the chances that individuals would survive and reproduce more successfully.”

In other words, our brains have evolved to promote survival and reproduction – originally in the pre-state, pre-tribal primate bands of distant prehistory. These tasks involve multiple parts of the cortex and amygdala, thalamus and hypothalamus, and so forth. There is one area of the brain that is particularly important in keeping instinct from running amok – the prefrontal cortex. Slow to mature (it is not fully on line until one’s mid-twenties) it is this part of the brain that exercises “executive function.” It encourages you “to do the right, though perhaps harder, thing.” The Role of Culture
Despite the fact that the physical manner in which most individuals experience these primitive and instinctual drives is similar, culture makes a difference in how aggression and sexual urges are expressed.
