How to increase your natural ability to heal
Manage episode 316809141 series 3300487
Our body is a complex system. It tries to maintain balance. One of the primary systems is the Automatic Nervous System (ANS).
Why talk about the ANS? Our ANS has control over the flight or fight response (The sympathetic system). The way we live, the kind of stimulus we have, activates the fight or flight far more often than any other time in the history. We run our system to the ground by living in a fast pace world full of demands and stressors. As a result our mind and body wear down.
We lose our well-being.
There is another system in place as a balancing factor to the fight or flight response. We call it the parasympathetic system where we get to rest, digest and heal. The keyword here for us is to heal.
If we want to improve our mental and physical health. Improve our well-being we got to find ways to switch off the alarms and allow ourselves to be.
What we need is to help ourselves find that space in time. That space to reflect to be calm and peaceful.
It's never been more crucial for us to make that time to calm our mind and body down. The healing then takes place automatically in all levels.
