Here’s a brief reminder about the consequences of an unabated stress response, or said another way, what happens when we ignore the needs of our soul and put off our self-regulating practices, such as: yoga, meditation, Focusing, HeartMath techniques, Energy Psychology tapping, or didgeridoo practice.
We’re at an obvious crossroads when it comes to healthcare. Emergency medicine is fantastic, but when it comes to preventing or treating chronic illness, we’re failing dismally …. and it’s costing us a fortune.
Any form of Health care …. that focuses on treating the symptoms of illness, rather than the cause, will never be an effective or affordable solution.
In 2004 research was published, by Segerstrom and Miller, that reviewed over 300 studies and 30 years of research concerned with the cause of illness. It confirmed that buried, unconscious emotional stress has an upsetting influence on our nervous system and biochemistry ….. that’s responsible for 85% of all illness. The stress response effectively turns off normal healing, immune reactions, detoxification and tissue repair ….. resulting in illness.
So, healing for the most part is our responsibility, we just need to know how …. it’s what the body does when unimpeded by the stress response. Good food, exercise and love could be stirred in for good measure.
A wealth of new neuroscience is confirming the stress inhibiting and healing benefit of self-regulating practices.
This has been a friendly reminder to myself and to anyone listening to do our self-regulating practices to inhibit the stress response and t0 keep our hearts open.
