How To Deal With Hypertension

How to deal with Hypertension

Christian Goodman

I keep on receiving emails from people who have tried everything to lower their high blood pressure which rises up to 210/140. These people are on medications for many years and have taken each and every supplements that exists.

I also came to know that their parents, grandparents and also their aunts and uncles had suffered from soaring blood pressure. So, it is present in their genes, right?

Nearly every time, they do have the same sort of question....

"Could this program help me in such a bad situation?"

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

The reasons for hypertension may be bad modern day diets or genetic factors. But emotions and thinking pattern plays a bigger part.

Everyday for 24 hours we are reacting to stimulation around us. We don't sleep for at least 16 hours and we are constantly under some kind of internal or external pressure. Our body is not fit enough to deal with these types of stimulation as this technological world is very new in existence.

Never do we realize as we are use to it, as to how unappealing this constant stimulation is.

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

When I was a young boy, my father and mother lived in the city but had a farm in the country side. My grandmother took care of the farm.

I love to spend the summers on the farm, and most importantly 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.

We began to train the youngsters around four years old during the summers. We started slowly and later on they were very calm and were easy to handle. By the end of the second or third year in training we brought them to the city in the winters.

Now here comes the important part...

These young horses were very frightened when they faced the city they saw fast cars all over, screaming people and big houses. The stimulation was overwhelming for them even in the quiet stable area. When we took them for riding they would either froze or run off or just shook all over.

How did we help them in overcoming this ?

First of all, we always took them out with an older horse who was relaxed and wasn't affected by all the static. This gave the youngster confident that everything was all right.

Significantly...

In the evening - when the hey had been fed and everything was quiet - we spent hours brushing and combing them. We knew we were making progress when the youngster enjoyed his treatment so much that he closed his eyes and stopped eating even if the hey was right in front of him.

Shortly, they were not bothered enough about the static and traffic. In the evenings they had their focused brake which gave enough soothing to their nervous system so that they could deal with the difficult tasks of the day. There was no more tension on their back and you could even feel them relax.

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.

Similar to the youngsters in training, we not only have to deal with the fast world around us. But we do need to tackle the difficult tasks and people every day. This is the reason why our nerve system is on high gear and is tense since morning till night.

Even if everything is calm and there is no external stimulation for a short time, our brains are not relaxed. The brain keeps spinning with all the tensions we are facing or any type of resentment about something like "somebody did to us" during the day.The system is still in high gear. So, our blood pressure might be even worse than before.

Unless we sleep the brain keeps on spinning.

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 totally effortless. All you need to do is to be lead by the directions on the audios. The feeling from two of the the exercises is a little bit like the feeling in the stable when we groom the horses when everything is quiet. The first exercise is more like a technique I learned from one of the most famous horse whisperer still alive.

The bottom line is, everyone can follow these exercises immediately and begin benefiting very quickly. There is nothing to learn and no skills to practice. It works if you work it no matter how bad your situation may look.

The most interesting part is , that it gives you a small break from the world. A period where there is no worries and pressures. That is the best of it. Have fun.
