How can stress in our lives eventually lead
to organ collapse and depression?
Let’s looks at the primary change in our
bodies when we experience stress, the breath changes. It moves from the
parasympathetic state (relaxation) to the sympathetic state (stress).
This then signals to the adrenals to start
releasing cortisol in the body.
Now for short spurts our bodies can cope
with this and when the stress has passed, our body does its house cleaning and
restores us to good order.
However with our ever stressed, fast paced
lives, our bodies are pumping out cortisol almost constantly, then when peak
stresses occur in our lives our health begins to fall apart with many complex
mechanisms in the body leading to specific damage.
You can google the effects of stress in the body - high blood pressure, susceptibility to
diabetes, depression, weight fluctuations, inability to absorb nutrients from food, the gut
becomes toxic and for women, although it doesn't make the top ten, it is right up there, suffer enough stress and it will take out your beautiful thyroid. More on this
soon.
Look at your language to gage your level of
stress, what are your repetitive words saying to you? Look at your loved ones
language, what state of stress are they in?
And lets begin at the primary shift in our
body that signalled things to begin to unravel – recovering the natural breath.
