Your heart is a fist sized muscular organ that contracts and relaxes around 70 times a minute. This keeps blood flowing around the lungs and body, transporting life giving oxygen and nutrients.
There is a story of a gentleman in India who was bitten by a snake and the villagers said to him that snake is a killer snake. By the time they got him to the hospital he had died. However in the autopsy it was discovered the man actually died from a heart attack not a poisonous snake bite. It turned out that the snake venom was not fatal after all. So what actually occurred is that this man was convinced by the other villagers that he was going to die from the snake bite and duly had a heart attack as a result and died.
In fact, according to traditional Chinese Medicine The tongue represents the heart.
So what you say and what you think can and does affect the way your heart functions. While the heart muscle is very strong its coordination and timing is very delicate indeed.
Your heart is a muscular pump that is divided in two halves left and right. Each half of your heart is further divided into two chambers. Valves prevent backflow so that blood keeps traveling in the correct direction. A patch of heart muscle acts as a natural pacemaker generating electrical signals making the muscle cycle between contraction and relaxation. The rhythmic squeezing of the heart pumps blood from its right side to the lungs and from the left side to the rest of the body.
And if you are under undue pressure in life or from your own imaginings take five minutes out and realise you could be causing strain in your body.
Tips:
1) Each and every week take at least one hour to check in with yourself and ask yourself if you are under too much pressure and decide to reduce it in some way, maybe a walk in nature, giving time to your cat or dog, playing with your children, having a pleasant peaceful conversation with your partner, or doing some light exercise.
2) Try not to get upset with other people this week and see in the round how things work out better for all concerned.
3) Come to The Get Back Health Clinic this week and get your spine and nervous system realigned. This is a positive way to get your internal organs working at their best.
