Humans are no different from other animals in the way we are aware of danger. Our body responses all go onto alert and all our senses our heightened. The similarity ends there. When the animal senses that the danger has passed, it gives a shudder or shake, and discharges the toxicity of the adrenalin surge. Humans have become numbed to the sense of the danger passing, they do not always discharge the adrenalin surge, and sometimes remain in the state of active alert indefinitely. Our body cannot survive forever in this state and we eventually deplete our adrenals, and collapse through exhaustion.
We are the only mammal that does not abort a foetus when we experience trauma. All other pregnant mammals will abort when they become traumatised. Human babies are the only ones that are born already traumatised. Smoking, alcohol, nutritional or environmental toxicity entering through the umbilical cord will cause shock and overstimulation to the foetus. We are born on active alert, we are born already living in the sympathetic mode of the nervous system.
We have an autonomic nervous system that runs through the spine from the brain linking it to all parts of our body. Messages are sent via neurons through the nerves to the brain centre and that need is instantly responded to.
If it is a conscious need, such as the need to eat, make a telephone call, or take a walk, we are activating the sympathetic nervous system. It requires a conscious energy. If the need is a natural body function, such as digesting food, breathing and the millions of internal functions that happen daily in our body without our knowledge, this is the parasympathetic nervous system.
In order for our body to function optimally we need to have a balanced autonomic nervous system. That means a perfect balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic where the sympathetic only activates when called for. If we are performing in sympathetic mode, our parasympathetic nervous system is taking a rest, and when we need our body to function in parasympathetic mode we give our sympathetic nervous system a rest.
If we are living tranquil lives and are at peace with ourselves this can happen naturally. However, most of us are living out our undischarged trauma patterns that cause us to live in sympathetic mode all the time, undermining the vitally important job of the parasympathetic.
Imagine a life in sympathetic mode. Either we are on active alert, constantly on the lookout for danger, or we have become numb and immobilized. How many people do we know who are just like this? So many children are described as hyperactive, they are allergic to many foods, they are bored and disruptive and they need constant stimulation. Adults have high powered jobs which give them constant surges of adrenalin, which excites them. They become addicted to these adrenal surges and can only function under intense pressure. When they get home they collapse.
Our society today provides for those who are living in sympathetic mode. Everything needs to be fast. Stress, the rat race, action movies and cartoons stimulate them. They love theme parks, with roller coasters and high adrenal activities. By the time they are forty they are burnt out.
The other kind, the immobilized person living in the sympathetic mode, is just as bad. This person is so numb that he is living “unconsciously”. He or she has had to create a persona for himself, a learned behaviour pattern just so that he can function. Hence he reacts in exactly the same way to a given situation and cannot cope with “new” decisions or changes in his life.
These other kind are common and we probably all know some of them. They “switch off” when asked for opinions or to participate in a discussion about something new. They can readily talk about what they have read in the newspaper, or what they have learned, but cannot explore their own feelings or opinions.
So while we are living in sympathetic mode, what has happened on a parasympathetic level? Our parasympathetic nervous system simply shuts down. We lose the ability to properly digest our food and other normal bodily functions perform less efficiently.
We build up impacted faecal matter because of our difficulty in eliminating naturally and we compromise all our natural growth functions. We “hold on” to our toxins and our old traumas.
Colon Health
We have a need to feed our stimulated systems, we feel frustrated in our “down time” and fidget. Our bodies cannot settle, we cannot relax, and we are hard to live with. We suffer from allergies, hay fever, asthma and numerous environmental diseases. The body sees everything we eat and breathe as a poison and our immune system is constantly attacking the invaders. Being in sympathetic mode affects the pH balance so we live in a more acid state. With our digestive system already so out of balance, it is impossible to restore the balance simply through diet.
How does this impact our healing process? When the body is in sympathetic mode it is impossible to heal. This is why I am giving you such a detailed story about what goes on “behind the scenes”. In order for us to function at all levels and in all areas of our lives we need to address the nervous system and balance it.
How many of us have spent huge sums of money following the latest breakthrough advice in healing? Going on raw food diets which appear to be beneficial because of the high levels of nutrients, but the body is still unable to digest properly. Taking large quantities of supplements has the same effect and may make us feel better on a superficial level. But nothing really works. All this does is add more and more load to the liver.
At each step we have probably been getting a little nearer to the truth, but the truth has not been clear before. Cleansing and clearing out our toxicity allows the truths we are looking for to become available; resting and rebuilding was what we needed to enable us to do the next step.
Now, balancing our nervous system will make that next step much easier. When we are ready for the next step it suddenly becomes apparent. We are opening up to deeper and deeper ways of real healing, healing that can work, processes which are written about in these newsletters when we are ready to trust them.
If we have lived in this place all our life, it is all we know. We have no idea what it feels like to be living in comfortably in the body. Fear has taken that away, and when we can deal with feeling really safe in our body we can let go of those fears. Only then can we invite into our lives, the one emotion that will allow us to blossom into our potential. The single most important thing we are all looking for in our lives is LOVE. When a baby is loved from the moment it is invited into this world, its entire nervous system can develop in a healthy way. As adults we need to find our own way of allowing trust and love into our lives so that our nervous system can settle and function as it should.
Letting Go
We all want to move forward in our lives. Stagnation on the outside means stagnation on the inside. Letting go of our defunct ways is the key.
People use products to help them eliminate and let go of toxins from the colon and detox the body. We are very good at holding on though. We like our old behaviour patterns. They are familiar and comforting. What will happen if we let go? Will we survive? Those parasites have become familiar, they’ve become our friends. Those old patterns have served us well in the past but what was it that initiated the pattern? Let’s explore the word “behaviour pattern”. The very phrase conjures up something we have created so that we “know” how we should behave. I believe in being natural. Looking at habits is always a good place to start.
If we are truly conscious then we respond differently in each situation, we do not have to call on our memory to ask how we usually react. Often a pattern was set by a traumatic event in the past, an event that is no longer relevant but the “baby” or “child” part of us is still feeling unsafe and has to call on a tried and tested way of dealing with a similar situation.
These old patterns no longer serve us. Not if we are living in the present. There is no need to bring our past with us, but that “little one” who is holding onto that pattern will always be a part of who we are. We want to bring our little one with us but not the traumatic event. Seek out the safety in your life, today. Know that your loved ones are around you; know what your resources are. When you can identify those feelings of anxiety, look for something that makes you feel safe. Feel that safety, name the feeling, hug the baby part of you, apologise for what happened and let go.
So let’s get back to the detox, and Natural Balance. Now that we have decided to clear our old addictions and really let go we can have more success with Maestro, Natural Balance and Natural Cleanse. We have a lot to let go of.
If we do not do this work, our old patterns that have long outlived their purpose stay with us forever, because we have not discharged the trauma. A newborn baby cannot express pain and trauma. Until recently it was thought that babies do not feel pain. Even circumcision operations were not performed using anaesthetic. Can you imagine anyone putting a baby through this archaic and unnecessary procedure? Yes, of course, every father who has had this done to him. Parents have their own wounds to deal with. Children always amplify the parents’ wounds and so the cycle continues until we say “Enough”. When trauma goes unacknowledged und undischarged we remain in our sympathetic nervous systems for the rest of our lives.
Without truly letting go, we will only ever heal at a superficial level. This is why the supplement market is so huge. It keeps us feeling good at that superficial level. So do drugs like Valium and Prozac, but they do not heal. They only work when you are taking them, and then they dump their toxins in the liver, making your body work overtime. Without safety and good resources we will only live at a superficial level. Make today the day you decide to Live Your Life.
When we can balance the nervous system, everything in our lives can change. Living in a settled place in the body allows miracles to happen and our lives to flow easily. When we are in active alert, we cannot even see what is happening around us that is good, we only look for the danger. The danger is only a perception, only a belief that many greedy people have used for their own gain. If we are not awake other people take advantage of us. Active alert does not mean awake, it only means looking for danger. Awake means aware and enlightened. It means conscious, peaceful and in harmony with the planet we live on. It means knowing what is happening in your body, and not making rational, logical decisions from the head. It means listening to our body and each other. It means love.
