Over and over again I receive emails from people who have tried everything to lower their - up to 210/140 high - blood pressure. They've been on medications for years and take every supplements known to man.
I also came to know that their parents, grandparents and also their aunts and uncles had suffered from soaring blood pressure. So, it is present in their genes, right?
Nearly every time, they do have the same sort of question....
"Could this program help me in such a bad situation?"
I have decided to answer this question in this blog, in view of the fact that it is so common.
Hypertension is caused by wrong diet or genetic factors. But it is only a small portion of the problem. The biggest part is because of thinking patterns and emotions.
We react to stimulation around us for approximately 24 hours a day. We are awake for at least 16 hours, and we are under internal or external pressure constantly. Our body is not in its top form to deal with these stimulation. In any case this technological world is only a few years old.
We are so used to this, we often don't realize how overwhelming this constant stimulation is.
Let me take a little example from the simple world I grew up in.
In my childhood , I use to stay with my parents in the city, they had a farm in the country side, and my grandmother use to look after the farm.
The entire summers I loved to spend on the farm. And above everything else I loved the horses.
Out there, we could ride forever without ever having to cross a road. There were a few tractors around and of course we had cars but they were few and far between.
When the youngsters were four years old, we began training them in the summers, though they were calm and easy to handle we took it slowly. By the second or third year in training we brought them to the stable in the city during the winters.
Now the main part comes...
Perhaps you won't believe, as to how frightened these young horses were when they faced the city. These fast cars, screaming people and big houses all over the places. Even in their quiet stable area, The stimulation was overpowering them. They use to run away or freeze or just shook all over when we use to take them out for riding.
How did we help them in overcoming this ?
On the first hand, we took them out with an older horse who was very much relaxed and unaffected by the static. The youngster became more confident that everything after this.
But more essentially...
During evenings after feeding them with hays and when everything was quiet we use to spent hours brushing and combing them. The youngsters use to enjoy his treatment so much that he use to close his eyes and even stopped eating even if the hay was right in front of him and we saw that we were making progress.
Soon, the traffic and static didn't seem to bother the youngster as much. He had his focused brake in the evening and that gave his nerve system enough soothing so he could deal with the difficult tasks during the day. The tension in their back disappeared and you could feel them relax.
The horses are more used to this fast world, even though they are from the countryside. They do gain a lot by getting a quiet long brushing in the evenings. And the same goes for me as I think I do benefit as much from them. But nowadays its far more different.
As like the youngsters in training, not only we need to deal with the fast world around us. Everyday we do require to deal with difficult people and tasks. This definitely puts our nerve system in the high gear and keeps it tense for 24 hours .
Yet if the environment around us is quiet and there are no external stimulation for a brief period, our brain would not be relaxed. It continues to spin with all the worries and tension we are facing or even resentment about something like "somebody did to us" during the day. The system is not relaxed and is in high gear. So, our blood pressure becomes worse than ever.
Even to the last moment before we fall asleep, the mind keeps on going.
Some of us may be genetically open for hypertension, our diet might temporarily flair up our blood pressure. But most importantly, our head that is our own emotions and mind are the one which actively bugs us from morning to night.
Meditation proves to be somewhat effective for hypertension. But many people has the difficulty to sit and to silence their mind for 30-60 minutes a day. Because the mind begins to spin faster than before.
My focused break exercises are totally effortless. All you need to do is to be lead by the directions on the audios. The feeling from two of the exercises is a little bit like the feeling in the stable when we groom the horses when everything is quiet. The first exercise is more like a technique I learned from one of the most famous horse whisperer still alive.
Everyone can start following these exercises and benefit very quickly. You don't require to learn anything and no skills to practice. It works only because you want to work and it doesn't matters how bad your situation may look.
The most interesting part is , that it gives you a small break from the world. A period where there is no worries and pressures. That is the best of it. Have fun.
