Can High Blood Pressure Be Cured?
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.
Like that wasn't enough, they also tell me their father, mother, grandfather and grandfather plus several aunts and uncles suffered soaring blood pressure. So it must be in their genes, right?
Nearly every time, they do have the same sort of question....
"Is this program really going to help me in this critical condition?"
As this is a frequent question, I have decided to explain it here on this blog.
You see, hypertension is of course partly caused by genetic factors or wrong bad modern days diet. But that is only a small part of the problem. Emotions and thinking patterns plays much 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 are so used to this, we often don't realize how overwhelming this constant stimulation is.
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.
Out on the farm we did not require to cross the road and we could ride forever. There were only a few tractors and we had a few cars but they were 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.
Here comes the part that is important...
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 ?
Firstly, we use to take them out with an older horse who was much relaxed and was not affected at all by these static. This made the youngster regain their confidence that everything was perfectly fine.
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.
After some time, the youngster didn't seem to bother much about the traffic and static situations. He did have his focused brake in the evenings which gave his nerve enough soothing so that he could deal with the difficult tasks during daytime. You could feel them relax as the tension disappeared from their back.
Nowadays it is much different. The horses are more used to the fast world. Even if they come straight from the countryside. But they still benefit a lot from getting their long quiet brushing in the evening. And I think I benefit just as much from them.
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.
Unless we sleep the brain keeps on spinning.
Some of us may be more genetically open for hypertension, our diet may also temporarily flair up our blood pressure. But nothing is on us like our own emotions and mind. Nothing actively bugs us from morning to night like our own head.
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.
There is totally no efforts required for my focused break exercises. All you need to do is to follow the direction on the audio. The second exercise is 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 which I learned from one of the famous horse whisperer, who is still alive.
The bottom line is, everyone can follow these exercises immediately and begin benefiting very quickly. There is nothing to learn and no skills to practice. It works if you work it no matter how bad your situation may look.
And the best part is, it gives you a little time off from the world. A time with no worries and no pressure. That's what I like the most about them. So enjoy.
