How to deal with Hypertension
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?
Time and again,their question is very much the same....
"Could this program help me in such a bad situation?"
As this is a frequent question, I have decided to explain it here on this blog.
The reasons for hypertension may be bad modern day diets or genetic factors. But emotions and thinking pattern plays a bigger part.
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 do not realize how irresistible this constant stimulation is as we are very much used to it.
I am giving a little example from the simple world where I grew up .
When I was a young boy, my father and mother lived in the city but had a farm in the country side. My grandmother took care of the farm.
I love to spend the summers on the farm, and most importantly i loved the horses.
In the farm we could ride for a long period without requiring to cross a road. There are only a few tractors present and we did had a few cars but were far between.
We began to train the youngsters around four years old during the summers. We started slowly and later on they were very calm and were easy to handle. By the end of the second or third year in training we brought them to the city in the winters.
Now the main part comes...
These young horses were very frightened when they faced the city they saw fast cars all over, screaming people and big houses. The stimulation was overwhelming for them even in the quiet stable area. When we took them for riding they would either froze or run off or just shook all over.
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...
In the evening - when the hey had been fed and everything was quiet - we spent hours brushing and combing them. We knew we were making progress when the youngster enjoyed his treatment so much that he closed his eyes and stopped eating even if the hey was right in front of him.
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 .
Even if everything is calm and there is no external stimulation for a short time, our brains are not relaxed. The brain keeps spinning with all the tensions we are facing or any type of resentment about something like "somebody did to us" during the day.The system is still in high gear. So, our blood pressure might be even worse than before.
The mind keeps on going until we fall asleep.
Hypertension might be genetic for some of us, blood pressure might be temporarily flared up due to our diet. But the main reason is our head like our own emotions and mind, which actively bugs us from morning to night.
Meditation might be effective for hypertension. But I have not seen many people who can sit and silence their mind for 30-60 minutes every day. At that time the mind begins to spin with even more force 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 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.
The idea is that everybody can follow these exercises and start benefiting very fast. There is no skill to practice and nothing to learn about. It works only if you use it, and it does not matter how bad your situation might be.
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.
