Why It Is Convenient To Recover The Internal Rhythm

It is enough to contemplate the passage of the clouds to observe that the manifestations of nature are endowed with rhythmic processes, which base a good part of their stability precisely on that rhythmic order, on a succession of things, not without harmony, with their proportions. , their movements and their pauses.

If we look at our environment, we can see that just as a physical illness is usually a reflection of the environment in which it occurs, the same happens with psychological and emotional suffering : they arise in the context of a series of particular circumstances.

In our developed environment, there are hardly any serious diseases transmitted by water or mosquitoes, while stress-related diseases are rampant.

Everything indicates that there is a direct relationship between the emphasis we place on solving the affairs of the external world and the unhappiness, anxiety and lack of contentment typical of modern society.

When attention and work are disproportionately turned on the outside, the inner life can suffer.

People who reside in a large city are at higher risk of suffering from mental illness than those who do so in a rural environment. This is demonstrated by a recent study carried out in Germany and published in the journal Nature.

Stress leaves its mark on the brain of those who live in the city, as their brain amygdala – involved in managing emotions – becomes more vulnerable to negative messages or setbacks.

The stress poorly resolved complicates all things, when it is not the main cause of the problem.

The human body is smart

Therefore, it is healthy to recover the natural rhythm of things, tune in with the passing of the seasons, impregnate our being with the smells and colors of nature, the sound of the waves of the sea at sunset or the contemplation of the stars. on calm summer nights.

What could be defined as the intelligence of the cells, or the mind of the tissues, or even the “consciousness” of the organs, is, in some way, a concept that has already been explored by ancient medical traditions, such as Ayurvedic medicine. , traditional Chinese medicine or various tribal medicines.

For many ancient medical systems, the sum of the “consciousness” of each organ results in the consciousness of the human being, as if each organ collaborated on a small scale in the formation of individual or personal consciousness.

For this reason, when an organ ceases to be in tune with the others, the whole, and with it the individual, is resentful.

Tuning influences our well-being

Most of the functioning of our body has already been studied and defined at the biochemical level by modern medicine.

Another different thing is that a human being feels good, in full harmony with others, nature, the cosmos or creation … And that is what matters: how we feel.

A blood test, carried out for example at a time in a person’s life when he or she is absolutely exhausted and hopeless, can give completely normal results. And if that person asks their GP how they can feel better, they will most likely just prescribe an antidepressant or an anxiolytic.

It can be affirmed that a good part of the symptoms of discomfort that a human being presents have to do with the loss of contact with his interior.

Facing fear, anger, stress, and other demons

Does sadness, anger, obsession or fear have something to do with the origin of our ailments ? For natural medicines, the answer is yes.

Any mismanaged emotional conflict can, in the long run, derail personal peace of mind. Then it will be easy to feel that something is wrong.

Take for example a person under pressure. It does not have to be a significant pressure, but it does have to be more or less lasting. For example, a pressure in your workplace that also gives you little room for maneuver.

The logical thing in such a case is to try to find possible solutions to that situation. But let’s imagine that there is no clear escape.

The person can then choose to resign and try to get used to the circumstances. Thus, he consciously places that burden on his back and tries to maintain a certain bearable tone.

In this way, you may have the feeling of having overcome that unpleasant situation. But if she is still upset in her heart, she will remain sensitive and alert.

Stress will continue to take its toll and the mind will spend the day trapped in conflict or brooding over explosive plans. Heat in the cheeks, tachycardia, red eyes, migraines … are some of the symptoms that may appear and that for an acupuncturist could be a bodily manifestation of that tension. Meditating is a good way to defuse stress. If you are interested in knowing how, you can consult the online mindfulness course to eliminate stress in 8 weeks of the Cuerpomente School.

Now imagine a rather melancholic person, who tolerates spicy foods badly and does not feel well on very dry days. Perhaps it has not been able to satisfactorily resolve the uprooting of childhood, that is, the exile of a time in which almost everything is given to us.

That melancholy may go unnoticed in a first assessment. But it was established a long time ago: it is a situation in principle not serious but that may have covered the inner being with sadness. Depression, vitiligo, lumbago, alopecia, poor menstruation, little perspiration … could have some relation to that old disappointment.

In general, it can be affirmed that a good part of the symptoms of discomfort that a human being presents have to do with the loss of contact with his interior, that is, with a scarce connection with the ancestral rhythm of his internal being.

The power of feelings

The origin of this maladjustment can be due to both an inadequate diet and a frustrating emotional life.

On the other hand, when someone gains equanimity and is persuaded by the pleasant attunement that connects with the most intimate part of their being, the body recovers its innate ability to heal itself.

Tuning into the wisdom of the body is a good starting point for accessing the hidden dimensions of life.

Western medicine regards the central nervous system as the seat of our being. However, the discovery that white blood cells have membrane receptors sensitive to the state of mind suggests that the immune system also thinks, feels, is excited, desires, is saddened, is happy … in a parallel way to how it does the person.

It is said that thoughts should go through the heart and feelings go through the head. However, if feelings have to do with the heart and thoughts with the head, the energy of the former, measured electrically, seems much higher than that of the latter.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) waves are measured in microvolts, while electrocardiograms (ECG) are measured in millivolts ; It is probably because the heart moves a large volume of blood, while the brain primarily processes information. But it is still curious that the electromagnetic waves of the heart are a thousand times more powerful.

The blood consumption of these two organs is 15% of the total (brain), for 4% of the total (heart). Thus, with less oxygen consumption, the cells of the heart are capable of emitting visibly more palpable electromagnetic waves.

We usually talk a lot about the brain and little about the heart, until it fails. Cardiocirculatory diseases are today the leading cause of death in Spain (31.7%), followed by tumors (26.9%).

Every year about 70,000 heart attacks occur in our country. Of the 30,000 people who survive this attack, only one in 25 undergoes a cardiac rehabilitation program.

Recovering the internal rhythm involves recovering our heart and reducing the bustle of thoughts.

We only need to make a few small adjustments in our lives to live more in tune with our inner rhythm.

For this, it is essential to make adjustments gradually : evolution is better than revolution. You can make a list that prioritizes what is really important.

The simpler and easier to carry out the objectives set, the better, because in this way we will realize that our aspirations can be realized.
