can anyone point me to the source of this quote?
"Intense stress activates epigenetic processes that I think are hard to reverse. Temporary excess of some nutrients can probably help to restore processes to normal, or to higher functional levels. Deprivation increases the ability to tolerate deprivation. The mind is always involved, with imagination being part of the body-forming processes, and it's important to keep the whole life development in mind.
Raymond Peat, stress - development"
I want to discuss this with my original zen/aikido teacher. Specifically, Peat says the mind is always involved. I would like to know the extent which someone who has a ton of mind training has control over the physiological stress responses. There is a point where it fails and one is in danger of training in order to tolerate more deprivation.
