Can Nothing Heal Hypertension?

By Christian Goodman

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?

Most often, their question is pretty much the same...

"Is this program really going to help me in this critical condition?"

As this is a frequent question, I have decided to explain it here on this blog.

Hypertension is caused by wrong diet or genetic factors. But it is only a small portion of the problem. The biggest part is because of thinking patterns and emotions.

We're reacting to stimulation around us almost 24 hours a day. At least the 16 hours we're awake, we're constantly under some kind of pressure. Either internal or external. And our body is not fit to deal with this stimulation. After all, the technology world is only a few decades old.

We are so used to this, we often don't realize how overwhelming this constant stimulation is.

Here is an example from the simple world where I have grown.

In my childhood , I use to stay with my parents in the city, they had a farm in the country side, and my grandmother use to look after the farm.

I loved spending all summers on the farm. And more than anything, I loved the horses.

In the farm we could ride for a long period without requiring to cross a road. There are only a few tractors present and we did had a few cars but were far between.

When the youngsters were four years old, we began training them in the summers, though they were calm and easy to handle we took it slowly. By the second or third year in training we brought them to the stable in the city during the winters.

Now the main part comes...

Perhaps you won't believe, as to how frightened these young horses were when they faced the city. These fast cars, screaming people and big houses all over the places. Even in their quiet stable area, The stimulation was overpowering them. They use to run away or freeze or just shook all over when we use to take them out for riding.

How did we help them in overcoming 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.

But even more important...

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.

Yet if the environment around us is quiet and there are no external stimulation for a brief period, our brain would not be relaxed. It continues to spin with all the worries and tension we are facing or even resentment about something like "somebody did to us" during the day.The system is not relaxed and is in high gear. So, our blood pressure becomes worse than ever.

Even to the last moment before we fall asleep, the mind keeps on going.

Some of us may be more genetically open for hypertension, our diet may also temporarily flair up our blood pressure. But nothing is on us like our own emotions and mind. Nothing actively bugs us from morning to night like our own head.

Meditation might be effective for hypertension. But I have not seen many people who can sit and silence their mind for 30-60 minutes every day. At that time the mind begins to spin with even more force than before.

My focused break exercises are very much easy and there is no effort required. All you need to do is to follow the instructions as on the audio. The feeling generated from the second exercise is little bit like the feeling in the stable where we groom the horses when everything is quiet. The first exercise is like a technique which I learned from 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 best part is, it gives you a little time off from the world. A time with no worries and no pressure. That's what I like the most about them. So enjoy.
