Original cause of my late father’s demise – if only I had known what I know today …sometimes when one is in eye of the storm, we just cannot see so well.
So here are some take-aways from Cardiovascular System Module. We learned that usually issues with the heart is at the peak of the pyramid of other abnormalities or dysfunction that had not been addressed. It’s a culmination of issues unresolved such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, low HRV, Leaky Gut Syndrome, various heart disease. The heart literally aches:
When we are not Present
When we abandon love and care
When we are fragmented
When we are disconnected
All the above, AND when we are not equipped with tools and techniques to “self-soothe”. The heart disease is a manifestation at the peak of the pyramids of cumulative imbalances. For some, heart issues could be something one is born with. Luckily, those people tend to have built up the resilience, having lived with it from birth and not a malaise that developed as a result of lifestyle choices. Disease tends to find lodging in our body as a result of series of “infinite insults” we inflict on ourselves. While not all are self-inflicted, the body endures many insults to such degree that it stops cooperating. Only when we learn to HONOR and APPRECIATE our body, our inner healer re-emerges to aid us. It’s through self love, not by fearing, shaming, berating our body with all its flaws … but to HONOR and CELEBRATE this body made in the image of God. That’s the first step on the healing journey.
Why the reason you have to deal with chronic stress – Yoga gives you the techniques and tools to manage stress and energy level better.
Heart – Heart – Heart – One can’t help but marvel at this amazing organ, developed first in the embryo state, a central unique muscle organ that moves 5-6 liters of blood with each heartbeat. That’s with one heart beat, the entire blood volume is put in motion. I always knew the importance of the heart but marveled at the more astral energetic aspects of this beating heart …
We learned that:
“Heart is more powerful than the brain.”
& our
“Cells need downtime for recovery.”
Common sense? Apparently not put in practice for many of us, where the Heart is treated as a mere pump to “work out”. It’s way way more than just a pump:
(1) Heart is electrical conduction system with electric impulses and looked at as an energy body, has 5000 times more powerful seat of electromagnetic energy field than brain’s.
(2) It is a seat of compassion, kindness and LOVE.
All systems within us, are integrated and inter-connected and affects our heart health.
