What is letting go? What does it mean to let go? What does letting go have to do with stress anyway?
Letting go is as simple as it sounds, but not as easy as it sounds. If you’re struggling to Let Go, you are hanging on.
Letting go is disconnecting from your thoughts and emotions. Most people relate their thoughts and feelings as to who they are. But you are not your thoughts and emotions. Your thoughts and emotions are expressions of the state of BEing you currently find yourself in. Your State of BEing can be controlled and changed at WILL. Will Power is the greatest Power in the Universe. As you WILL to change your thoughts and emotions and Choose to change your thoughts and emotions, you begin the process of Letting Go.
Holding onto thoughts and emotions creates tension in the body. The tension slowly builds over time creating chronic cellular stress. Tension restricts the flow of universal energy creating energy blockages. Letting Go of stored thoughts and emotions, old baggage, and becoming Present with the Moment, releases tension, eases constriction, creates fluidity in the body and allows energy to begin to flow more freely.
Yesterday after I posted on Star Tetrahedron I found some very interesting videos on YouTube.
Nassim Harramein is being interviewed on the Unified Field Theory. Watch – quantums strung together creating tetrahedra create everything. The unknown in unified field theory is the spin. What makes things spin. It is the motion that keeps things growing, changing. Without motion life would stop. Pay attention to the section on the apple. You will see the energy spinning down in one direction and up in another. The same vortex of energy that flows through you as Qi, flows through the universe in the same way. The structure of this energy is tetrahedral.

Tetrahedral structure – the energy packets that R. Buckminster Fuller theorized – is the basis of all that is. The inherent vibration within tetrahedra creates spin. The faster or higher the vibration, the faster the spin. Quantum physicists have observed that everything in the universe is spinning faster.
I recently wrote a post about Awakening Your Sleeping Mind.
David Hawkins in his book Power vs. Force calibrates people’s emotional levels from 20 – 1000 based on vibration. 200 – 300 is the zone of exploration, accomplishment, fortitude and determination. At this level, people put out as much energy as they take in. 85% of the current population is vibrationally calibrated at 200 or less. A fair percentage is moving into the 300 – 500 range with a small percentage moving into the much higher range. 300 – 500 is the range of willingness to love. 700 -1000 is enlightenment.
One individual at level 300 counterbalances 90,000 individuals below 200.
One individual at level 700 counterbalances 70 million individuals below 200.

The universe is indeed speeding up. Everything is entering a higher vibration, either willingly as in those leading the way, or unwillingly as in those who will be brought along, swept up in the current. But the bigger question is what will it all mean in the end? A different world is indeed coming. How will it be ushered in?
Feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear from you.
At least 75% of the immune system originates from the gastrointestinal system (the gut). Did you know that brain neurotransmitters also originate in the gut? This is more evidence that the “mind” really is a spiritual connection to our creative center ~ the dan tian ~ and that the brain is an elaborate switching station that controls the body. Read more in the Mind Monkeys Series. Stress suppresses the body’s immune system resulting in a wide array of systemic symptoms.
Let’s take a look at the definition of stress from the American Heritage Dictionary
3e; 5c; 6a: A mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.
5 Physics a: An applied force or system of forces that tends to strain or deform a body.
The word “stress” is derived from the Middle English stresse meaning hardship, partly from destresse and partly from the Old French estrece meaning narrowness or oppression.
The nature of the word is indicative of restriction, narrowing, tightening and constriction – all things that happen within the body during times of emotional and physical stress. When you experience emotional stress, you will often feel a tightening or constricting in the throat and/or chest. Physical stress causes a constriction of blood vessels contributing to elevated blood pressure.
How often do we use words without really contemplating the fullness of their meaning?
Here is a list of some of the manifestations of STRESS:
Insomnia Restlessness Anxiety
Moodiness Depression Hypertension
Tension headaches Migraines Skin problems
Hair loss Stomach /digestive problems Colon irritability
Obesity Neck pain Shoulder pain
Back pain Muscle and Joint aches Diabetes
Thyroid imbalance Acid-alkaline imbalance Cancer
If you are experiencing or have experienced any of these symptoms, you most likely are coping with situational stress and probably even chronic stress at some level. Working with a Wellness Coach to learn Relaxation Techniques and how to add them your lifestyle will deliver lasting effects with results that can be seen in as little as two weeks.
If you have ever taken an antibiotic in your lifetime, chances are you have an overgrowth of systemic yeast (Candida). Antibiotics destroy the probiotics in your body along with the harmful bacteria. If you have never restored your body’s good bacteria, now is a good time to start. You will see improvement in as little as 1 – 2 weeks. An overgrowth of systemic yeast will manifest in your body in many of the symptoms listed above. Stress exacerbates yeast overgrowth.
You have probably heard since the 1980s that Heart Disease is a “silent killer,” and more recently that Heart Disease is the #1 cause of death among women. The primary instigator behind hypertension and heart disease is stress – whether it is situational stress or chronic stress – the long-term effects if left unabated in the body result in deterioration of health and lead to a cornucopia of symptoms. Even if you have inherited tendencies towards developing hypertension and heart disease, there are steps you can take to prevent the development of hypertension or heart disease as well as natural alternatives to the care of hypertension and heart disease if you are already coping with these health issues.
Stress creates constriction, tension in the body, and can even constrict thinking. A tense mind focuses in on minute details and often overlooks the bigger picture. It is easy to get caught in a downward spiral of close introspective thinking. Calmess leads to clarity of thinking. With clarity of thinking, you will find solutions more quickly and easily. Relaxation techniques will show you how to let go of the stress and BE in a calm productive state in spite of the situations you find yourself in.
Stress not only affects the physical and emotional body, it affects the energy body as well. The constriction caused in the body by stress leads to secondary constriction of energy flow or Qi (chi). Energy blocks often accompany many of the stress symptoms listed above. It is not only important to address the cause of the stress to eliminate future stress but it is also important to release the energy constriction or Qi block so that energy can freely flow through the body once again leading to and promoting natural healing.
Researchers in Japan revealed this week that they have formed cohesive functioning brain tissue from stem cells.
“The researchers at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe said their new tissues are able to self-organize into four distinct zones very similar to the structure seen in human fetuses, and conduct neuro activity such as transmitting electrical signals among themselves.”
What I found fascinating about this development is that the tissues self-organized into a structure seen in human fetuses. On May 27, in my blog post, Is Your Mind Making a Monkey of You?, I wrote about thought originating from the dan tian and not the brain. The lower dan tian corresponds to very beginning of human life. It is intriguing that the stem cells self-organized into four distinct zones. In the early development stage of life, in the first two weeks, the heart, brain, spinal cord and gastrointestinal tract begin to form. These are the four neural crests that also correspond to the main qi centers and meridians in the body. In the second to sixth week of life, neurogenesis begins with brain activity and a heart beat apparent by the sixth week.
For the first time, scientists have an inside look at the genesis of life and the very beginnings of qi functioning (neuro activity and electrical signals).

Science and creationism are growing ever closer to being one.
What are memories? What do they have to do with health and healing? Is there a connection? Beyond that is there a connection to memory, health and forgiveness?
Memories are stored in the cells of your body, all the cells of your body. Your body is the memory bank of your life. The brain is the chemical switching station. Think of the brain like a busy train station, trains coming and going constantly day and night. The chemicals in your body are the trains; they carry needed supplies throughout the body and aid in waste removal.
Cellular memory is a phenomenon that came to light with the advent of organ transplants. Organ recipients were reporting stories of liking foods they hadn’t before. They were drawn to interests and activities that hadn’t been of interest prior to the transplant. They also reported having memories of the person whose organ they had received.
Early in transplant history, doctors tried to come up with explanations for these phenomena. In the end, it is the recipients themselves and their stories that have shed light on the fact that our bodies are memory banks. Prior to this, it was assumed that memories were stored in the brain. Somehow, there were unique little places in the brain where all memories were stored. We now know this isn’t totally true. Of all that grey matter sitting up there, we only use about 10% or less. Wouldn’t it be intriguing to find out what the rest of it is used for?
But let’s get back to cellular memory. Many cultures, including ancient cultures, hold a tradition of bodily resurrection. The flip side of this belief is that of reincarnation, where the body is continually reborn. Whichever you believe, the fact that memories are stored at a cellular level doesn’t change.
Let’s examine this a little deeper. If memories are stored in your cells then when you have children it is conceivable that you are passing your memories, at the cellular level (or at least some of them), to your children. Your children in turn would pass along some or all of the memories they received from you as well as their own memories to their children, and so on down the genealogic line.
This progressive passage of cellular memory could be an explanation for what people report as being reincarnation. Somehow, they have accessed deep cellular memories of their ancestors that are so real to them it is as if they have lived the life of their ancestor. This is just my theory.
There are many forms of memories. Memories are created chemically. Trauma creates cellular memory. General injury, something as simple as a cat scratch, creates cellular memory. Feelings and emotions associated with every-day events create cellular memory – events such as a birthday, being with someone, and watching a child’s accomplishment. What makes the memory is the emotion associated with the event or feeling. Every emotion has a chemical co-responder. Emotion is the spiritual connection to the physical. Emotions are stored chemically in your cells, and they stay there until released.
There are emotions that we consider “good” – such as joy, happiness, excitement, elation – and emotions that we consider as “bad” – such as anger, resentment, worry, feeling hurt, and guilt.
The chemical reactions associated with stress are also stored at the cellular level in your body. Stress is now widely recognized as the leading cause of all illness and the cause of upwards of 90% of doctor visits annually.
Can you imagine what a different world it would be if you and those around you could learn to reduce and eliminate the effects of stress on your body?
There are techniques you can learn and do that will reduce the effects of stress, stimulate your immune system to respond better, and help your body to heal itself.
Some of the techniques that can be used to release emotion and the effects of stress from your body right down to the cellular level include Qi Gong (literally energy work), EFT (Emotion Freedom Technique), and applied kinesiology. These three techniques are in the realm of energy work or body work. They use the flow of universal energy and the energy meridians in your body to release stress allowing the body to heal itself naturally.
The body was actually designed to maintain itself. It is capable of maintaining health. The cells in your body are constantly reproducing, right down to the memories that are stored in them. If cell deterioration and cell death were eliminated, there would be no disease and no aging as we know it today. In fact, when you are experiencing disease or illness, it is your body’s way of telling you that something isn’t in harmony – emotionally, physically or mentally – your body’s energy is unsynchronized. When balance and harmony are restored, the body can and does heal itself.
There is another technique, a spiritual technique, that has the same effect of releasing memory at the cellular level – it is Forgiveness. When you forgive, it is as if the experience never happened. It ceases to exist right down to the cellular level. This is the unique power of Forgiveness.
You have only truly forgiven when the event, the memory, ceases to exist. It is as if it never was in the first place.
It is equally as important to Forgive Yourself as it is to Forgive others. If something happened that you hold yourself accountable for and can’t let it go, recognize that whatever it was is in the past, the past is not now unless you re-create it every day by not letting go. It is okay to Forgive Yourself. It is okay to love yourself and be present with yourself in this moment. With this understanding, healing can begin.
This is why forgiveness is so crucial to health and healing. If you haven’t forgiven, there is still a memory somewhere in your cells that is out of harmony. As long as those memories remain, your body is in a state of disharmony, and it can’t heal itself.
I’m going to take this one step further to inherited disease. When your body is in such a state that disease has become manifest, let’s say heart disease just as an example, those cellular memories get passed along to your children. This is why doctors say that certain diseases run in a family or are inherited. You are only inheriting the genetic expression of the cells’ DNA that was known from before.
I am going to go out on a limb here and make the claim that inherited disease can be eradicated if you erase the memory of the disease at the cellular level. It is as if it never happened. This may seem far-fetched and heretical but science is actually beginning to prove this. I am working on a special report that goes into this in much greater detail.
Imagine a world without illness or disease! It would be like a utopia. How long do you think people would live? Cells continually regenerate. The Judeo-Christian Bible says that after the flood, God limited the age of man to 120. There is one person alive today who is reported to be 120, and the oldest person ever recorded was Jeanne Calment who died in 1997 at the age of 122. Of note, the person who is 120 and still alive is a Bedouin woman living in northern Israel. She attributes her age and good health to her diet which is predominantly vegetarian.

According to Dictionary.com, health is the general condition of the body or mind regarding soundness and vigor; vitality; freedom from disease or ailment.
The word “health” comes from the Old English meaning “whole.” So to be in a state of good health is to be in a state of wholeness. You are whole, complete, perfect. Vitality and vigor pertain to life.
Wellness is the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort; it is an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to an emphasis on treating disease (the symptom) (emphasis mine).
Well-being as defined by WordNet is a contented state of being happy, healthy and prosperous.
It is interesting to note most definitions of well-being include prosperity. Prosperity is a natural state, a divine state, of abundance, and abundance only exists in the universe. Anything less than abundance is a perception.
Well (an adverb) is a gerundive of the verb To Be.
A gerund is a word form derived from a verb used as a noun, i.e. “The saying goes…”; a gerundive is a word derived from an adverbial form used as a noun, i.e. to be, I AM.
Therefore, “well” is an adverbial form of “to be” used as a noun, i.e., “The well-being of the children is at stake.”
Correctly, when speaking of health and someone asks you, “How are you today?” the proper response would be, “I am well.” Well is the verb descriptor (adverb) describing the verb To Be (I am). Somehow, in the last 25 – 30 years, western society (at least in America) has lost this. Speech has a much deeper meaning than we are aware of. Words particularly are very important. This thought alone should be enough for us to take care to guard our speech and think before we speak.
The etymology of “well” is particularly interesting because of it being an adverbial form of “BE.” To be = I am, you are, he/she/it is… I AM is the creator of all that is (see blog post I WILL BE That I WILL TO BE). Therefore, you are of I AM, you are an intrinsic part of I AM. You are not separate from the “whole” of I AM. Remember “health” is wholeness, not just wholeness of your individual body but “wholeness” as it pertains to the “whole” of creation.
This is a vital clue, a change in perception, that will totally change your “well-being.”

Thoughts are energy. Thoughts take form. Thoughts become your reality. What are your thoughts and how are they affecting your life?
Are you growing spiritually? Are you growing closer to your Divine Purpose? Or are you stagnant, treading water or moving backward down a path of decay?
The Universal Law of Polarity states that there is growth and decay. You can’t tread water and hold a middle ground. No growth is the same as decay. You can only move forwards or go backwards. Where do you fit in? What do you want for your life?
I’d like to quote from Module 22 of How to Master Abundance and Prosperity…The Ancient Spiritual Keys to Success edited by Carlson Hannel Wattles Mentz, JD, MBA, PhD
“Generally, the various forms of inflammation, paralysis, nervousness and diseased conditions are the manifestation of fear, worry, care, anxiety, jealousy, hatred and similar thought. The life processes are carried on by two distinct methods; first, the taking up and making use of nutritive material necessary for constructing cells; second, breaking down and excreting the waste material.
All life is based upon these constructive and destructive activities, and as food, water and air are the only requisites necessary for the construction of cells, it would seem that the problem of prolonging life indefinitely would not be a very difficult one.
However strange it may seem, it is the second or destructive activity that is, with rare exception, the cause of all disease. The waste material accumulates and saturates the tissues, which causes autointoxication. This may be partial or general. In the first case, the disturbance will be local; in the second place, it will affect the whole system.”
So, you might be asking right about now, what does this have to do with your thoughts. Your thoughts control the constructive and destructive processes in your body. Stress and the rampage of effects made by the release of stress-related hormones fall into destructive activity. The waste aftermath of stress remains in your body until you release it. To heal your body, you need to control your thoughts and learn how to use your thoughts to move the waste materials through and out of your body and then use your thoughts to heal your body.
“You will find that everything which we hold in our consciousness for any length of time becomes impressed upon our subsconsciousness and so becomes a pattern which the creative energy will wave into our life and environment. This is the secret of the wonderful power of prayer….therefore, if we wish a change in conditions, all that is necessary is to change our thought; this will in turn change our mental attitude, which will in turn change our personality, which will in turn change the people, things and conditions, or the experiences with which we meet in life.” (module 21) (emphasis mine)
Your thoughts control everything in your world, in your conscious reality and your subconscious reality and manifestation. You will also come to learn that the thoughts of your mother, father, grandparents and other ancestors actually affect who you are; but you will also come to learn that you have the ability to change those affects wrought upon you by your forefathers, through the power of thought. [I am working on a special report that will give you more insight into this.]
“The problem, then, before us in the healing of disease is to increase the inflow and distribution of vital energy throughout the system, and this can only be done by eliminating thoughts of fear, worry, care, anxiety, jealousy, hatred, and every other destructive thought, which tend to tear down and destroy the nerves and glands which control the excretion and elimination of poisonous and waste matter.” (module 22) (emphasis mine)
I concur with this belief 100%; to heal the body, you have to increase the inflow – the amount flowing into you – and distribution, the flow of energy throughout your body, of vital energy – YOUR VERY LIFE FORCE ENERGY – throughout your entire body. This is done through thought primarily and accompanied by physical movement of Qi or Chakra through your body; but even the movement of Qi through your body is accomplished by Intention – that is thought, focused attention on your vital life energy, moving it through your body. The first and most important step emotionally (spiritually), physically, and mentally, in fact, you could call it the KEY is FORGIVENESS. If you cannot forgive 100%, you are still blocking the full effect of healing.
Hear what great teachers of the past have said about FORGIVENESS…
“Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant…hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hearest, forgive…Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men)” 2 Chron 6:21, 30
“Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.” Ps 25:18
“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Ps 32:1
“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.” Ps 86:5
“Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” Ps 103:3
“To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him;” Dan 9:9
In forgiveness lies healing, even when you rebel against Source, against your Creator, or against the Universe, mercy and forgiveness are yours to claim. Remember, you come from that very spirit, that very energy, that very life force. You have all the Creator characteristics in you to claim; FORGIVENESS of others, forgiveness of yourself, forgiveness for yourself, is yours to claim as well, and with it comes healing.
One of the most destructive thoughts of man is the act of not forgiving oneself, second to that is not forgiving others. Source will always forgive, all you have to do is ASK to acknowledge to yourself that you are forgiven, because in fact, you are already forgiven.
“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Matt 18: 21-22
Forgiveness is unmeasurable.
“Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.” The Koran, The Cow 2.263
“Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly, and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and abundance; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.” The Koran, The Cow 2.268
“The patient, and the truthful, and the obedient, and those who spend (benevolently) and those who ask forgiveness in the morning times.” The Koran, The Family of Imran 3.17
“And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah’s; He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” The Koran, The Family of Imran 3.129 (emphasis mine)
When you can’t forgive, you are not fulfilling your Divine Purpose. Your Divine Purpose is to grow into the fullness of the Creator, Source, Universal Energy from which you were derived. Just as you grow up to reflect your human father, your purpose is to grow up to reflect your Creator Father. This is the wonderful example of nature that is put before us to ever remind us that we are growing spiritual beings. We are not evolving. We are growing and growth involves change and maturing. Are you ready to step into your Divine Purpose? Embrace the characteristics of Source and make them your own. Forgive just as your Father would forgive, reflect the image from which you come.
Chapter 16 Decay and Renewal of the Tao Te Ching by Peter Merel
“Empty the self completely;
Embrace perfect peace.
The world will rise and move;
Watch it return to rest.
All the flourishing things
Will return to their source.This return is peaceful;
It is the flow of nature,
An eternal decay and renewal.
Accepting this brings enlightenment,
Ignoring this brings misery.
Who accepts nature’s flow becomes all-cherishing;
Being all-cherishing he becomes impartial;
Being impartial he becomes magnanimous;
Being magnanimous he becomes natural;
Being natural he becomes one with the Way;
Being one with the Way he becomes immortal:
Though his body will decay, the Way will not.”
Many belief systems have forgiveness as an integral part of faith and healing.
With Forgiveness comes Peace. When you are Peace, you can connect fully to Source. When you connect fully to Source, you experience healing emotionally, physically and spiritually.
To learn more about Forgiveness and how you can come to forgive others, I recommend Soul to Soul by Gary Zukav.
Begin practicing Forgiveness and begin your journey to whole body healing.
Bible quotes are from www.biblegateway.com King James Version
Stressful situations occur every day and happen to everyone. It is your ability to cope with these situations that determines what, if any, long-term effects stress will have on you.
When I talk about eliminating stress, I am referring to the stored stress that remains within your body. You could never eliminate stressful situations from happening day to day, but you can learn how to release the stress stored in your body and reduce and eliminate the effects of stress. You can also learn techniques to better manage stressful events as they occur to minimize the effects of stress in your body.
What is stress?
Stress can be defined as an experience or condition that causes physical, emotional and/or mental disruption. Stress is usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, increased muscle tension, and irritability.
How does stress affect the body?
Typically described as the “fight or flight response,” the sudden release of adrenalin and other hormones into the blood stream triggers a systemic cascade of events. Your pulse speeds up, your blood pressure rises, stomach acid production is increased and fat metabolism is increased.
Hormones called catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) are released into the blood stream causing the increase in heart rate and blood pressure. These hormones also mobilize stored fat from cells and dump it into the blood stream. This increases the risk for stroke or heart attack.
These hormones also cause a rise in blood sugar leading to an increased risk of diabetes.
Circulation is diverted to the brain and extremities for heightened awareness and muscle response to the perceived danger at hand. This slows the digestive process and the elimination of waste while at the same time increasing production of stomach acid leading to increased risk for irritable bowel syndrome and possible ulceration. Peptic ulcers may occur with the presence of a specific bacteria.
The rapid release of cortisol suppresses the body’s immune system weakening its resistance. Extended periods spent in stressful life situations can leave you vulnerable to illness and disease.
In a state of “fight or flight,” typically the body would be involved in a period of intense physical activity which would utilize these hormones and then expel them from the body. This does not regularly occur in today’s urban society which does not promote a physical lifestyle.
What are the long-term effects of stress on the body?
Without consistent regular release from the body, these “stress” hormones remain at elevated levels in the body leading to feelings of anxiety, jitteriness, increased tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, and feelings of inability to cope with day-to-day situations.
The consequence of chronically elevated stress hormones is destructive to your health. Over time the following effects may become manifest in the body: impaired thyroid function, increased insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic function, decreased sex drive and function, increased hypertension, loss of bone mineralization, increased fatty deposits in the abdominal area.
This means that you are at direct increased risk for thyroid problems. Some common symptoms of thyroid disease (either hyper- or hypo-) are extreme weight gain or extreme weight loss, depression, decreased overall energy, aches and pains in muscles and joints, hair can become coarse, dry and brittle, and fall out easily. Skin can become thick and scaly, or fragile and thin. You could have chronic constipation or chronic diarrhea. You may feel tired all the time having no energy. You may have insomnia, anxiety, or depression.
Increased hypertension and risk for heart disease can lead to heart attack, irregular heart beat, stroke. Some symptoms of various types of heart disease are: shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, nausea, sweating, pain or heaviness in the chest, loss of energy and feeling very tired all the time.
Increased insulin resistance, decreased pancreatic function and abdominal obesity lead to the increased risk of diabetes with its many symptoms that include nerve damage, kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes, poor circulation, skin degradation and ulceration, and blindness.
Decreased bone mineralization leads to increased risk of bone fractures and bone shattering, impairing your overall daily lifestyle.
In general, you may also experience increased head aches, migraines, neck and/or shoulder pain, stomach pain, digestive problems, insomnia, skin problems, joint pain, muscle pain, burning sensations, and even cancer.
These are just some of the many ways that elevated levels of stress hormones remaining in your body for prolonged periods of time can be destructive and debilitating to your health.
Stress in the long run also speeds up the “aging” process by speeding up cell decay and death.
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms or problems, you have stored stress in your body that is crying out to be released.
(If you have an inherited disease, release of stress can help in the management and control of symptoms.)
What about good stress?
Good stress, often called “eustress” can have both positive effects and negative effects on the body. Eustress can be helpful in relieving the negative effects of stress. Good stress can come in many forms. It can be an activity you like such as hiking, biking, exertive walking, swimming, tennis, golf, soccer. Along with this type of physical activity other chemicals are released into the body and can remain stored as stress too. This would be good stress leading to bad stress in the long term.
Eustress can be associated with “over” feelings and emotions such as “overjoyed,” “over-exhilarated,” “over-eager,” “over-emotional,” “over-exuberant,” and “over-sensitive.”
When your body is in this state of “over” stimulation, it is the polar opposite of the effects of negative stress. Emotions are vibrational. “Over” emotions emit super high vibrational frequencies. Stress emotions or low energy emotions such as anxiety, sadness, depression, and lack of joy emit super low vibrational frequencies.
If you are a follower of The Law of Attraction, you have probably heard that you will attract like vibrations. Your health can impact your ability to make The Law of Attraction work for you. You might be struggling with the concept of raising your vibrational energy. You can start by clearing your body of stored stress. As you release stored stress, you will begin to feel lighter, happier, more content, better able to cope, more optimistic.
Some emotions associated with negative stress and low energy are: doubt, fear, anxiety, resentment, anger, guilt and depression. Some emotions associated with a state of equilibrium of are: peace, joy, happiness, contentment, love and hope.
Negative stress causes cellular breakdown, decay and death. Eustress in excess is like a nuclear meltdown in the body.
Here is an example of how an excess of eustress can be harmful. You are in a state of being very excited. The energy heats up the heart first. The excess energy then travels to the brain. Once this excess energy is in the brain, it is not easily released because the channel back to the torso is very narrow. The excess energy has nowhere to go and like an overfilled balloon and energy explosion occurs resulting in stroke.
Ancient Buddhist and Chinese philosophies teach that moderation is best in all things, even in our emotions and in our ability to heal ourselves.
“In governing the people and in worshipping heaven nothing surpasses moderation. To value moderation, one must form the habit early. Its early acquisition will result in storing and accumulating vitality. By storing and accumulating vitality nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible then one is ignorant of his limits. If one does not know his limitations, one may possess the state. He who possesses moderation is thereby lasting and enduring. It is like having deep roots and a strong stem. This is of long life and enduring insight the Tao (way).”
Lao Tzu’s Tao and Wu Wei: Tao Te Ching 59 To Keep Tao
What can be done to de-stress the body?
Some activities that can be done to release stored stress from the body are: body massage, meditation, and yoga. Slow, gentle walking along with visualization and deep breathing will also release stored negative stress from the body. Listening to calming music or “environmental” music along with visualization will release stored stress from the body.
Visualization along with other de-stressing activities is very powerful at releasing stress. It restores the body to a state of equilibrium from which the body can begin its own natural restorative healing process. Thought is energy. Visualization is focused thought. It has been proven in quantum physics that focused thought creates matter. Visualization creates chemical activities in the body. These chemical activities produce the right kind of energy to help the body repair itself and help to open blockages.
Laughter is indeed “the best” medicine. Humor therapy is being studied in the medical field. Humor therapy, specifically laughter, has been shown to have preventive and healing effects on the body. Laughter activates certain immune system responses in the body that actually fight the effects of stored stress by reducing elevated “stress” hormone levels. One study concluded that laughter has beneficial health effects for wellness and humor therapy was an appropriate complementary therapy to whole-person integrative medical therapies.
So, the next time you feel like crying, laugh instead. Laugh from deep within. Try to find the polar opposite expression of what you are feeling. If you are thinking about the loss of a loved one, think of something funny that person would have done or what they would have wanted you to remember about them, and find happiness in that.
“The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that’s laughter. The moment it arises, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.”
– Mark Twain
Get In The Flow – The Return to Universal Energy
Stored stress in the body leads to blockages of your vital life force, your Qi (or prana). When blockages occur, symptoms of distress or dis-ease occur. The symptoms are there to tell you that your vital life energy isn’t flowing properly. Your vital life energy is like the air and the ocean. It seeks to flow, to circulate, to rejoin the greater body and return to the smaller lake and stream. When it is blocked, it cannot flow. Your vital life energy keeps you centered and focused on the greater purpose of life. When you suffer energy blocks, your focus becomes very narrow. You become centered on the problem caused by the energy block and lose sight of the greater picture, even of your life purpose.
It is vital to your life overall to learn to release the energy blocks, to let your vital life force flow back out to the Universe and back again to you, to remain on purpose in your life and realize the full potential of who you are, not only for you but for all of creation. We all have a greater purpose above our immediate self. We can only fulfill it when we are connected to Universal Energy.
It’s hard to believe how quickly this past week went by. I put up my last post last Tuesday and whoosh, the week flew by. I went for Instructor Certification for Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa QiGong last weekend. A new web site just for QiGong will be up soon. Both sites will focus on energy flow. MetaTranspiration will be for the mental/emotional side of energy flow focusing on relief from chronic pain and stress using coaching. The new site will focus on the physical practice of energy flow.
At the very foundation of QiGong practice lies a Universal Law – can you guess what it is? I’ll give you a hint. It is also at the foundation of the Law of Attraction. Did you guess it?
It is the Law of Intent! Intention drives the flow of Qi through the body. Above all other requirements, there must be intent. Focused thought, directed concentration.
This is why there is such a close connection between the flow of universal life energy and the Law of Attraction. The same Universal Law is behind both. When you are IN THE FLOW, living your life’s purpose, you effortlessly fall into place in the overall universal plan. We were all born with a purpose, special talents, gifts. Just like cells in the body have unique purposes, yet all the cells in the body work together for the good of the whole body, we as individuals are like cells in the body of God (or the Universe), each cell having its own particular purpose, yet to the benefit of the whole being. When you are ON PURPOSE, everything you need will flow to you effortlessly (aka the Law of Attraction).
But, there is an even greater power behind the Law of Intent. The key to this power lies in these four letters YVHV.
Do you know what it is?
