Worry and Fears about Your Health Issues

Is Fear about your Health Condition Overwhelming you?

Of course, no one wants to have a health issue or have to deal with it. The physical suffering is painful, but for some, the emotional worry that comes along with it, can be paralyzing. Some of my patients tell me that no matter how hard they try, some thoughts just come and they cannot get rid of them.

-What if it gets worse?

-What if I’m going to be like this forever?

-Last time I had a health issue was a bad experience and I’m afraid it’s going to turn into that.

-What if no doctor can help me?

-Do these symptoms mean there is something wrong with me?

-I have discomfort here… what if it is this______ condition?

-what if I’m going to get worse?

Do you think these thoughts have a positive or negative impact on your outcome?

Why do we even have these thoughts? Our bodies know something is wrong and is programmed to problem Nervous System Balancing. Energy Work from the Comfort of Your Home solve and to fix. Fear is an instinctual survival mechanism, that works as a warning that something is wrong. Back hundreds of years as hunter gatherers, fear worked to alert us to survive, and run away from danger. Physical movement such as running detoxifies the “fight and flight” hormones such as cortisol.  Therefore, back in the day after people “ran”, their bodies returned back to baseline.

Today we often sit in worry without the need to physically “run”, and so cortisol stays in the system longer, giving a prolonged sense of anxiety or doom. Fear may have been an instinctual way to handle problems as a child or modeled by adults who raised you. We all want to do something to make it better, and there is a false subconscious feeling that if we think about the problem and worry, it will somehow mean you’re keeping tabs on it. And somehow control it. But this is not true.

Fear is a conversation you have with yourself that only gives you distress. Faith liberates and heals.

So how do you get out of anxiety or worry mode?

When you are at peace and relaxed there is less inflammation, your hormones are more balanced, your immune system works more optimally, it is easier to gain muscle mass, your body is more alkaline, and your body has the ability to heal faster. We all want to do something to make it better.

Sometimes not worrying feels like you’re accepting your fate and giving up. That is why it is so hard to let go. When you let go of stress, you are not resigning your goal to get better. But when you let go of stress, you are letting go of emotions that make you sick. This is what you can do. Think thoughts that make you well. It is doing something good.

Some patients are aware of everything I just said, but have difficulty controlling their thoughts. The anxiety seems to be a state that the body seems locked in. I can help you re-set your nervous system, and release deep seated emotions from certain organs or areas of the body. Many patients are amazed at the shift they feel after a session. They feel so much lighter, freer, calmer, happier and that what they need to deal with is now manageable and solvable. Some of the energy work can even be targeted to accelerate healing of certain physical conditions. Please reach out if I can support you this way, or if you have any questions how this can work for your specific situation.

“Faith and Fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose.”

Worried About Your Health A Lot?

“I’ve tried everything.” “I just want some results.” “I know healing takes time, but I’ve been dealing with this for years.”

Are you already taking a lot of supplements and trying to eat well? You are a little better but nowhere near where you want to be with your health yet. You wonder if another test will find out what is wrong. But treating the test results doesn’t seem to do much. What is missing? Photo credit: Jose Navaro

In Japan every kid is taught in school byoukiwakikara which translates to “every disease starts with your emotions.”

I’m not saying it is your fault you are sick. On the flip side, your sickness is also not completely out of your control. The laws of nature (cause and effect) is that negative emotions produce frequencies, congestion, and even biological hormones and molecules that change your physical body in a bad way making it more prone to disease.

So the key to reversing disease is to strategically apply emotions that benefit health. We need to train your thinking to create health promoting emotions and to stop thoughts that are counterproductive. But you say to yourself, “how can I not worry about my health? I will be at peace once these symptoms are gone and my health is better.” It is understandable that your health concerns are scary, worrisome, and weigh on you.

I’ve been on a mission to guide my patients to understand and be willing to take the bold step to do the opposite of what they have been doing. Worrying actually does not make you better, it just gives you the illusion you have some control over what you feel you cannot control, such as your sickness. If you can choose to let the stress, worry, anger, fear, resentment, and disappointment go, you are choosing to put yourself on a “fast track” and “non-impeded” path to healing.

Sometimes it feels like if you stop thinking about your health or stop worrying about it, that you are giving up, being irresponsible, or letting the ball drop. This is not true. Just like you can do

-the action: of washing dishes

-and not think about if the dishes are clean enough for hours after you washed them.

You can also take

-the action: of taking supplements, eating well, going to your health appointments

-and not think about or worry your health so frequently.

It is difficult to do this, often because of how our nervous systems are programed and the difficult circumstances you are in. If you are willing, there are therapies I offer that can shift your nervous system to make controlling your emotions easier, so that you can put your physiology in the chemical state that speeds up healing. Pranic Healing also uses specific researched protocols that work on certain chakras, energy centers and organs in certain orders for certain specific health issues.

For example, if we need to work on the immune system, I work on strengthening the bone marrow because it produces the white blood cells. The basic chakra controls the bone marrow and needs to be worked on. The lymphatic system is important to clear out the viruses, bacteria, mold and toxins and is controlled by the throat chakra which we also work on for the immune system.

You may have noticed that if you are more stressed, have a disagreement with someone, overwhelmed or have difficulty saying no, that you are more susceptible to getting sick. How this is connected is because basic chakra is about feeling safe, belonging, OK and calm. The throat chakra is about being understood, heard, able to express yourself, or say no when you need to. This is an example of how the mind and body are related. Healing the parts of the body through Pranic Healing give double benefit because they help with your physical issues with an added benefit of improved emotional life.

There are protocols for almost every health condition and I feel so blessed to get to practice these additional tools. They have resulted in healing in even some of the more complicated cases. Please reach out to me and I would be happy to discuss how to specifically help your situation.

Fatigue? What Gobbled Up Your Energy?

I didn’t watch all the Harry Potter movies when they came out, but decided to check them out this new year. They’re quite interesting even for an adult…gorgeous imaginative scenery, creative, and transports me to a different world for a bit for some relaxing work/life balance. The movies got me thinking about ENERGY. Are you putting up with your own fatigue and trying to push through your day, running on empty? Not fun, not good, Photo Credit Epictop10 not healthy.

So in the movies Voldemort (the bad guy), would consume unicorns blood, and in another instance the life force of a little girl to make himself stronger, to keep him from dying. It’s just a story, a bit disturbing nonetheless. But it suggests the transfer of qi, lifeforce, or energy in a way that can deplete or fortify oneself.

It would be a bit creepy if someone could “vampire” your energy and make you fatigued. I don’t personally agree with this hypothesis because you should and can have more ability over your body than being at the mercy of someone else. But have you ever felt that when you are around certain people you get more tired? They could be an ailing parent, an angry spouse, a difficult co-worker, a demanding friend etc. Sometimes it really feels like these people take away from you.

They cannot take what you will not allow. Here’s what I’ve seen in my years of practice about other people and YOUR ENERGY.

-2^nd law of thermodynamics: Energy flows from high concentration to low concentration. Healthy people have higher energy than sick people. Good mood people have higher energy frequency than low mood people. For example, joy, bliss, love, passion have higher measured hertz frequencies than anger, hate, jealousy, resentment, depression. This can be one of the reasons why you feel drained when you go into a room filled with negativity. There is something said about surrounding yourself with people that are supportive of you, where you feel safe, calm, loved, or comfortable with, that due to thermodynamics explains why you are more energized under these circumstances. If for some reason this cannot be possible for you, I have some ways to help you lower the negative effects of your environment on you.

-The less triggered you are by other people’s actions or words, the less what they do, or who they choose to be will affect you. There are ways to reset your nervous system so you can be more equanimous (neutral feelings, in control of your faculties, being an observer rather than reacting).

-Some statistics state that for most humans 80% of thoughts are negative and 95% of thoughts are repetitive. What? So only 5% of daily thoughts are new thoughts. Lots of redundancy.

How many times do you repeat your “to do list” over and over, till it is so overwhelming that you spend more time thinking about it rather than doing? What about the times you re-play a situation gone wrong over and over. These negative or repetitive thoughts take up a lot of energy. What if you can train your mind to be more efficient, so you are more efficiency and you don’t need to waste energy on repetitive thoughts.

I’ve had a few patients come to me sometimes taking 15 supplements, confused and at their wits end. They didn’t even realize, how much chatter is going on in their mind, until we did some work to balance their nervous system and quiet their minds. Once their mind was quieter, their energy started getting better.

I use a 2 pronged approach. If a fire hydrant is leaking, you need to stop the leak then clean up the flood. In medicine, if you’re not feeling well, you need to address the cause, then “clean up or make better” the body. Supplements are great when used correctly to match your body type, and current state it is in. For fatigue, not all adrenal support formulas will work for you. It needs to be medically specific for you. Choosing the right formulations will give much better results. Supplementation would be the “clean up and fortify” part. It’s very important.

We must also not forget, to “stop the leak”. We must stop whatever is causing your body to lose energy. We must teach your body to utilize energy more effectively. We can reduce your wasted energy expenditure (tensing muscles, overthinking, depressive thoughts, ineffective multi-tasking etc) so that you HAVE energy reserves, rather than RUN ON your reserves. Addressing both prongs gives you better results.

We look at what was discussed above as well as any medical factors

-thyroid

-hormone balance

-mineral imbalances

-heavy metal toxicity

-adrenals

-mitochondrial function

-mold toxicity

-TCM patterns

As this new year approaches, take a look at your life and see what you can intentionally implement that supports your energy. I hope some of the thoughts above gave some inspiration to bettering your life, energy and health. If you are suffering from fatigue, please reach out to me. I would be honored to help you.

Natural Remedies and Energy Medicine for Dopamine Related Disorders

Dopamine is a brain chemical (neurotransmitter). Did you know that there can be some types of depression that is related to low levels of dopamine? Usually we think of the neurotransmitter serotonin for mood, but understanding your specific brain chemistry can make a big difference in the success of therapies.

Serotonin deficient depression presents more with:

-sadness, crying

-poor emotional regulation

-mood swings

-fatigue

Dopamine deficient depression presents more with:

-lack of motivation

-apathy

-loss of joy in activities that were fun

-feeling helpless

Low levels of dopamine associated with:

-Depression

-Lack of motivation

-Lack of pleasure

-Parkinson’s disease

High levels of dopamine associated with:

-addiction

-schizophrenia

-hallucinations

-mania

-nausea/vomiting

-restless leg syndrome

There are 5 receptors for dopamine. D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5. They function differently. D1 and D5. D1 and D5 dopamine receptors are linked to G proteins that activate adenylate cyclase. D2, D3, D4 are linked to G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase. Different receptors are associated with different functions or conditions if function is out of balance.

Studies show D2 receptor activity is important for a process called apoptosis and important to keep certain neurological tumors at bay. Some people have developed anti-bodies against D2 receptors in dopaminergic neurons in the brain, and this can lead to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.

Depending on the condition, it is important to understand if you have high or low levels of dopamine. There is a test that we can run for this. It may also be helpful to know if certain receptors or under or over active. And lastly it may be helpful to know if the immune system is creating any auto-immunity against certain dopamine receptors or dopaminergic neurons. Certain supplements may be helpful in addressing early imbalances with the above.

Energy work such as Pranic healing has also been extremely effective for neurological issues. For example in Parkinson’s disease the basic chakra and the body is very depleted because the spine is clogged with diseased energy and cannot transmit energy and nerve conductivity properly. The ajna and back head chakras are overactivated and depleted at the same time to compensate for lack of energy from the basic chakra moving up to nourish the rest of the body and head. Malfunction in the back head chakra leads to degeneration of certain nerve cells that produce dopamine. In early stages, Pranic healing can be very helpful for this condition.

Another example: We address the basic chakra in depression. When someone does not have the will to live, or is suicidal, their basic chakra is extremely depleted. Cleansing and energizing the basic chakra is key to both physically caused depression as well as more emotionally caused depression. For depression that is more of a physical issue, addressing the navel, solar plexus and spleen chakras are important.

For depression that is more due to psychological factors, addressing the upper chakras help cleanse negative thoughts and provide energy to integrate positive truths. Some patients who have gone to therapy often know, “I should let go” “This doesn’t need to stress me out” etc. But physically they still feel the anxiety or feel uneasy. It’s not that easy to “think” it away. Pranic healing can help integrate the nervous system so the new truths feel real. It’s like the brain getting married to the heart.

Usually both physical and emotional factors need to be addressed in depression. Utilizing both natural supplements and proper energy healing can be very beneficial for these patients to feel functional, happy and themselves again.

What is the key to happiness?

Why are you doing what you are doing? Ultimately, you want a good life. Do you have a good life? Is it working?

If not, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. So how do you get the result you want?

It’s 2021, a new year. Yes we have a pandemic and a lot has changed. But I want to encourage you not to blame what you can’t have on the pandemic, the mitigation efforts that did or did not happen, other people and so forth. Remember that there is always an infinite number of opportunities. There are opportunities in good times and bad times. So don’t settle with the world events as a reason for your life to not be the way you would like it to be.

Not everything is always going to go your way. It is life. Pain happens, circumstances happens but suffering is a choice. Suffering is our response to something happening outside in our environment. Good news is suffering can end. 

How long suffering lasts depends on 2 things:

1.     Your Response to it

2.     Your actions or inaction to move on

For example:

Negative Responses that are not helpful: (The following are common feelings that can feel quite real in the moment)

“This politician is horrible, if they don’t do that, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”

“I’m stuck, I don’t see a way out”

“I don’t have what they have, so it’s not possible for me”

“I’m so anxious and depressed, I’m paralyzed in my own emotions”

“What if I make a mistake”

Positive Responses that are helpful: (These can help reframe your situation)

“I’m grateful for what I have and more blessings will come to me”

“I can love those who don’t “understand me” yet”

“They may be mean to me, it’s not about me, but about their own suffering they are going through”

“There are infinite possibilities and opportunities for me”

“I can learn this lesson and move on”

“Successful people have made many mistakes; mistakes will not stop me”

They key to ending suffering and being happy is:

1.     Having the right viewpoint and mindset

2.     Saying the right words (to yourself and others)

3.     Taking the right actions

4.     Letting go and moving on

Studies show a correlation between happiness, health and longevity. The happiest people live longer. (Effects of happiness on physical health. R. Veenhoven. Journal of happiness studies Feb 28, 2007). Happiness is also associated with lower inflammatory markers before and after acute stress. (Ann behavior medicine April 2019). Immune system cells and the thyroid can cross talk and one study even indicated that thyroid function can be influenced by mood. Mood can affect functions such as histamine responses, immune system, serotonin levels and even blood clotting. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6544341/).

Your wellbeing, mood and happiness is very important to physical health as we can see. If you are wanting to take your life and health where you want to be, today is the day not to settle for less. Please feel free to contact me.
