The Cost of Fight or Flight

Everyone has stress. But some people have so much stress that it completely throws their Autonomic Nervous System out of alignment. What that means is, they become stuck in Fight or Flight. Living in Fight or Flight is not how we are meant to live. Our bodies are meant to move between Fight or Flight and Homeostasis naturally. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to shift between the two when you've been stuck for so long.
Here is what happens when the Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight or Flight) is activated:
- Your heart and respiratory rates increase
- Your digestion slows down
- Your immune system slows down
- Your pre-frontal cortex loses its ability to reason
- Your pupils dilate
- Your bronchioles dilate
- Your blood vessels dilate
As you can see, your body is not functioning the way it is meant to when stuck in Fight or Flight. This is why it's difficult for people to heal. When so many systems of the body are affected by stress, the body is unable to function properly. And when the body is unable to function properly, it is also unable to heal. This is why getting the Autonomic Nervous System balanced is necessary for healing.
If you want to balance your Autonomic Nervous System, consistent meditation will help. Eventually you'll begin to notice a change in the way you react to stressful situations. It can take time so you must be patient.
Another way to balance your Autonomic Nervous System is with Harmonic Egg sessions. Sound and Light Therapy with the Harmonic Egg is the most effective way to balance your nervous system. A series of sessions is most effective at keeping your nervous system balanced. And when your nervous system is balanced, your body is able to heal energetically. For some, keeping the nervous system in balance is all they need to stay healthy. For others, getting the nervous system into balance is the first step. The next step is to determine what it is they want to focus on next.
Healing is a process. But as long as you stay committed to your healing journey, you will be able to see results. Ultimately, this can lead to a better quality of life.
