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?
Time and again,their question is very much the same….
“Is this program really going to help me in this critical condition?”
Since this question is so common, I decided to explain this right 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.
Everyday for 24 hours we are reacting to stimulation around us. We don’t sleep for at least 16 hours and we are constantly under some kind of internal or external pressure. Our body is not fit enough to deal with these types of stimulation as this technological world is very new in existence.
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.
The entire summers I loved to spend on the farm. And above everything else 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 we had youngsters, we began training them in the summer when they were four years old. We took it slowly and most often they were very calm and easy to handle. It wasn’t till second or third year in training that we brought them to the stable in the city in the winter time.
Now here comes the important part…
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.
So what did we do to help them get over 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.
Significantly…
After feeding them with hays, and when everything was quiet we spent hours brushing and combing them in the evenings. We saw that we were making progress when the youngster enjoyed his treatment that he would close his eyes and even stopped eating even if the hay was in front of him.
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.
Just like the youngsters in training, we don’t just have to deal with the fast world around us. We need to deal with difficult people and difficult tasks every day. This puts our nerve system in the high gear and keeps it tense from morning to night time.
Even when everything is quiet and there is no external stimulation for a short while, our brains won’t let go. It keeps spinning either with all the worries we’re facing or resentment about something “somebody did to us” during the day. Our system is still in the high gear. And our blood pressure may be 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 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.
And the most excellent element is , it gives you a moment off from the world. A moment where there is now pressures and worries. That’s what I love about it. So have a good time.
