The AARP Bulletin that just came out has a big article on “Stress: Don’t Let it make you Sick”, where it talks about how stress adds to colds, weight gain, slower healing, sleep dysfunction, heart disease, depression, stomach problems and physical pain. I’ve talked about this for years, but having it researched by Carnegie Mellon and Harvard bolsters the validity of my theories!
People have asked me for years how and why Reiki, for instance, works, and now I have a scientifically proven answer: when we relax, we heal.
That sounds so simplistic, but stress leads us to create cortisol which, unrelieved, creates inflammation that causes damage to blood vessels, brain cells and promotes disease and painful conditions.
So when we have a condition, yes, we usually need to change the way we eat, and we need to exercise, but at the deepest level we need to address the way we think and feel. All the organic food in the world, while a great thing, can’t overcome the effects of worry, fear and anxiety. What we think of as highly productive (workaholic) is actually a fear response.
We are a stressed out nation but we have many well tested approaches to healing our stress. If you would like to know more and find a way to healthily manage the stress in your life, contact me for a no obligation no cost consultation on how I can help.
