Coping with Stress is the Fountain of Youth

✿

Coping with Stress is the Fountain of Youth, by Lisa-Dawn FlowerChild

Life is all about change. And maybe for you, changing again and again before the end of the day. Having to reformat your reall-ity. The ability to respond to the needed changes is what the phrase “cope-ability” displays.

The level of stress you are currently dealing with may cause the brain to function less efficiently, to age rapidly, or even hopeless feelings of emotion -- depending on how you cope. The science of PNI (psycho-neuro-immunology) has captured the notion that how well you “cope” is how great you look and feel.

Keenly interested in this topic for years, I now write and complete my third book, based completely on this method of moving with the changes as they occur. One cannot be traumatized when you are prepared for what is ahead.

Key Tips on Coping:

1.     Lower your heart rate daily. Find a space and time to dedicate to the adapting of what you would image your greatest struggle. Effective examples: regular flow yoga, deep meditation, pranic breathing, and of course massage therapy.

2.    From the moment you awake, a restful night of sleep is your best medicine. Take a measure of how many times you need to reset your homeostatic (balance) gauge. 

3.    Key: Understanding the adrenal function. Even the basics. If you need an afternoon nap, or feel like one everyday. If you have overworked yourself over time and know that adrenals are needing nurturing. The very best and quickest way to resolve hormonal/glandular imbalance from stress is a combination of royal jelly and bee pollen

Natural Coping Skills

Let’s face it, some people just deal with stress better. On the surface the more sensitive types may show passionate emotional releases. Then, they are the one’s to turn around and heal the quickest as well. Finding optimism, guidance, and knowing how to reset the stress clock to coping mechanisms are crucial to overcome negative setbacks on the PNI scale.

In more difficult cases, individuals may even seek hypnotherapy to assist them in positive focus, planning their dreams, and carrying on with life (Michael Sealy on YouTube has some great work). Remembering when things look their worst, “you are only a thought away from change”, as the unforgettable Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us from “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life”. Strength become most apparent right after shifting and now allowing negativity to take place at any level or fiber of your constitution.

Wherever you are on the cope-ability wagon – there is one thing for sure. As we live, age, make important decisions about our future, our ability to cope will be essential to making it through. Because the fact is that everything will be in the past, and lessons learned are the goal of our life mission and destiny. Being more indigo and offering the world your best. It’s a great way to be alive. Wouldn’t you agree?

Clearing Negative Vibes (follow link above for Salt Burn)

Feel the love ✿ I love it when my home feels clean, sanitized (use #GSE), and free of bad vibes. Working hard to keep the negativity away takes a bit of work and upkeep. Keeping your life uncluttered is just like yoga - a mindset.

The salt burn helps to maintain the optimum level of positive bonds in the air. It is used after arguments, moving into a new space, or someone leaving an area. Then overall a great idea just to make things feel cleaner.

Getting Balance

The poses in yoga like Tree Pose, and Great Warrior give the body strength and balance. The same goes with how you take care of the outside world. I have gone over to my artist friends home and it seems I know when they are having a harder time than usual. 

To have tools in these moments really make a difference to transform the "molecules". My close acquaintances know what I mean by "molecules". Everything is energy. Taking on layers of positivity or negativity every moment. Money is molecular, time, intentions, and thoughts. So being aware of this helps to keep a continuous energy maintenance program.

After arguments, bad phone calls, or even texts that you are misunderstood - there may resonate a feeling of sadness, disappointment, fear, or even anger. Things will happen in this ever-changing world. Having the cope-ability to make the changes as they occur, keeps cope-ability fresh for the next interference.

The ability to cope. As our world gets trickier to survive the day, it is imperative to flow (Down Dog Pose to Cobra Pose) with those changes. Dr. Edward Bach called these interferences a blessing. To look at the opposing force as a skillful opponent, not necessarily the enemy or someone who has offended. It shows your example in the moment. Preventing regret later.

THE AMERICAN EPIDEMIC: METH (Rapid Aging/Death)

www.montanameth.org

METH AGES THE ADDICT*

WATCH:  "NOT EVEN ONCE"  

FLOWER CHILD ANSWER:

"As an alternative health practitioner, who has specialized in chinese medicine for over two decades now, it is clear to me how this highly addictive drug destroys beauty and soul in no time at all.  When the kidney - which is responsible for all genetic information, is constantly bombarded with the push to get up and go in any addiction - it will began to lose its integrity very quickly.  In young adults it will not be apparent for 3-5 years, but the energy of the kidney that is constantly getting depleted will cause the physical kidney to age on an average of 4-5x as fast as in a normal healthy person."

Recent Research Findings on Crystal Methamphetamine:

• long-term use destroys nerve cells in the brain that regulate dopamine, muscle movement, memory, and decision-making
• brain damage can be wide-spread and permanent
• floods the body with adrenaline — the same hormone that prepares us for emergencies
• artificially triggering this the adrenaline fight/flight response over and over again has serious consequences on the nervous system
• will diminish scores of neurotransmitters [chemicals that help us to process life and make core reality beliefs in our personality
• episodes of paranoia and anxiety become more frequent and last longer lasting in duration.
• increases the blocked blood vessels within the brain can increased the chance of stroke
• manipulates dopamine levels - dopamine delivers a sense of reward and pleasure
• dopamine is associated with body movement - when diminished dopamine causes paralysis or a Parkinson’s-like tremors and rigidity
• abnormal levels of dopamine and a person can become paranoid, hear voices and get twisted thoughts - their will is obstructed by fear
• increase and decreases serotonin levels - serotonin is involved in regulating sleep and sensory perception, plays a role in moods and regulating body temperature, and is involved with many emotional disorders like schizophrenia, phobias, super-aggressive states and obsessive-compulsive behavior
• abnormal levels of serotonin can make it difficult (or impossible) to have an orgasm - sexual dysfunction is common in meth users and the primary reason for impotence in young adults users.

How Does Lack of Sleep and Being Stressed Out Affect You?

Lack of Sleep 'Linked to Early Death' - BBC/UK REPORT

Not too little sleep, the experts advise

Getting less than six hours sleep a night can lead to an early grave, UK/Italian researchers have warned.

They said people regularly having such little sleep were 12% more likely to die over a 25-year period than those who got an "ideal" six to eight hours.

They also found an association between sleeping for more than nine hours and early death, although that much sleep may merely be a marker of ill health.

Sleep journal reports the findings, based on 1.5m people in 16 studies.

The study looked at the relationship between sleep and mortality by reviewing earlier studies from the UK, US and European and East Asian countries.

Premature death from all causes was linked to getting either too little or too much sleep outside of the "ideal" six to eight hours per night.

But while a lack of sleep may be a direct cause of ill health, ultimately leading to an earlier death, too much sleep may merely be a marker of ill health already, the UK and Italian researchers believe. 

Time Pressures

Professor Francesco Cappuccio, leader of the Sleep, Health and Society Programme at the UK's University of Warwick, said: "Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take and this pattern is more common amongst full-time workers, suggesting that it may be due to societal pressures for longer working hours and more shift-work.

"On the other hand, the deterioration of our health status is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time."

"If the link between a lack of sleep and death is truly causal, it would 

equate to over 6.3 million attributable deaths in the UK in people over 

16 years of age."

Prof Cappuccio said more work was needed to understand exactly why sleep seemed to be so important for good health. Professor Jim Horne, of the Loughborough Sleep Research Centre, said other factors may be involved rather than sleep per se."Sleep is just a litmus paper to physical and mental health. Sleep is affected by many diseases and conditions, including depression," he said. And getting improved sleep may not make someone better or live longer, he said. "But having less than five hours a night suggests something is probably not right."

"Five hours is insufficient for most people and being drowsy in the day increases your risk of having an accident if driving or operating dangerous machinery."

Vitamin C Increase May Reduce Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancer

Vitamin C RDA Increase 
Reduce Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancer?

@readflowerchild on Twitter

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin C is less than half what it should be, scientists argue in a recent report published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition. Researchers said that there is compelling evidence that the RDA of vitamin C should be raised to 200 mg/day for adults, up from its current levels in the United States of 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men.

Rather than just prevent the vitamin C deficiency disease of scurvy, said researchers, it’s appropriate to seek optimum levels that will saturate cells and tissues, pose no risk and may have significant effects on public health at almost no expense—about a penny a day if taken as a dietary supplement.

“It’s time to bring some common sense to this issue, look at the totality of the scientific evidence and go beyond some clinical trials that are inherently flawed,” said Balz Frei, professor and director of the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University and one of the world’s leading experts on the role of vitamin C in optimum health. “Significant numbers of people in the U.S. and around the world are deficient in vitamin C, and there’s growing evidence that more of this vitamin could help prevent chronic disease. The way clinical researchers study micronutrients right now, with the same type of so-called ‘phase three randomized placebo-controlled trials’ used to test pharmaceutical drugs, almost ensures they will find no beneficial effect. We need to get past that.”

A wider body of metabolic, pharmacokinetic, laboratory and demographic studies suggests just the opposite, that higher levels of vitamin C could help reduce the chronic diseases that today kill most people in the developed world—heart disease, stroke, cancer and the underlying issues that lead to them, such as high blood pressure, chronic inflammation, poor immune response and atherosclerosis.

“We believe solid research shows the RDA should be increased,” Frei said. “And the benefit-to-risk ratio is very high. A 200 mg intake of vitamin C on a daily basis poses absolutely no risk, but there is strong evidence it would provide multiple, substantial health benefits.”

GERM SAFETY

Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is a powerful antiseptic, fungicide, and bactericide, so basically during an earthquake or illness in the home, GSE is INDISPENSABLE!  It is very, very strong and needs to be diluted (example 30 drops per cup for intense cleaning and wound cleansing).  Soak or spray the affected area several times per day.  This will not hurt you or cause any side effects.  It can be taken internally.  So, whether it be a kitchen sink or dishes that is treated for nasty black mold invasion, or just a stubborn sore that will not heal this application of soaking or spraying is my favorite to prevent the deadly MRSA from hurting my family.  (See GSE Clean Spray Section on sidetab).

ANXIETY FREE
Rescue Remedy by Bach Flowers is the most popular mixture from the Bach Flower Remedies. That is why it is the best selling stress remedy in the world over the past 100 years. It is actually 6 flowers that come to the assistance of the individual needing to be emotionally rescued.  Rescue Remedy to the Rescue!

DETOXIFIER
Shilijit (Shee-li-jeet) originated in the hight Himalayan mountains and is the most important converter of heavy metal toxicity due to it's vast array of minerals (up to 82 essential minerals).  I mix the powder in my daily tea, or drink it with water - detoxing from the inside out. The taste is bitter, as most heat draining detoxifier's are. Mixed with shea butter, I make my own healthy moisturizer and apply it daily. It gives my skin a healthy bronze and detox's from the outside in. Available at most healthfood or specialty stores.  See the book, Shilijit in Perspective for all scientific data. 


And please feel free to ask me a question - as this stuff can be confusing and sound a bit strange, but give it a try. These supplements are not expensive. I have researched the products that I use and recommend.
