This week I have been talking to a few of my clients about injuries, healing, vitality and energy.
I believe that we all have the ability to move with vigour, feel boundless energy and have a healthy state of vitality.
But where to start ?
Here are the big 9.
1 – Emotions
They trump all. In order to feel your best you have to get your shit together. Life is a subjective experience and we all have our own view of the world. How you view yourself, others and everything around has a massive affect on your well being. Be kind, love yourself and everyone else
2 – Gut
All disease begins in the gut. How you absorb, digest and assimilate plays such a fundamental role in health. From vitamin and mineral absorption, hormone regulation, immune function, toxin elimination, mental health etc etc
3 – Lymphatic system
Your lymphatic system is a major player in your health. A blocked up lymph will cause an issue with the vascular system, nervous system and your bodies ability to clear toxins.
4 – Nervous system
When the nervous system is put into a position of vulnerability your body will lock up. Any form of perceived threat down regulates your ability to function.
Jaw clenching
Teeth grinding
Excessive shrugging
Floor clenching
are all forms of compensations based on perceived threat
5 – Vascular system
Responsible for clearing waste and transporting nutrients – the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting disease, stabilise temperature and pH, and maintain homoeostasis
6 – Organs
Vital organs
Humans have five vital organs that are essential for survival. These are the brain, heart, kidneys, liver and lungs.
The brain is the control centre – thoughts, feelings, memory
The heart – We need to pump blood through the body
The kidney – The kidneys take urea out of the blood and combine it with water and other substances to make urine.
The liver – detoxifying of harmful chemicals, breakdown of drugs, filtering of blood, secretion of bile and production of blood-clotting proteins.
The lungs are responsible for removing oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it to our blood where it can be sent to our cells.
7 – Endocrine System
The endocrine system consists of eight major glands that secrete hormones into the blood. These hormones, in turn, travel to different tissues and regulate various bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth and sexual function.
8 – Muscle and fascia
This is where most practitioners spend their time – not wrong but to share an insight one might be better served to keep an open mind as to getting to the root cause
9 – Local tissue
The least important but simply the site of manifestation.
That’s it for today. If you have any questions on how these interplay then please flick me an email and I will be more than happy to sit down and have a chat about it.
