What’s eating you?
We’ve all heard how important it is to eat right and exercise right. Greens, fiber, fresh stuff, power walks. All fabulous. But how many of us are aware that what goes on in our heads is just as important, if not more so? Bones, for example, are directly affected by anxiety.
Our bones are designed to carry our weight. This helps ensure a healthy distribution of minerals. Muscles are designed to move us. When we’re anxious our muscles tense up and over time they stiffen and begin to take over the role of our skeleton. Minerals are redistributed, which in turn creates a loss in bone density. Before long, there’s a broken hip.
Anxiety and stress also affect the way we digest our food, so we don’t absorb all the nutrients, or worse still, acids deteriorate stomach lining. Left unchecked this can even lead to stomach ulcers. We’re literally eating ourselves. Our bodies age not just because of time, but also because of how we inhabit them. So how do we work with the mind/body connection and thrive in terms of our health?
This area of personal growth is of particular interest to me. I’ve been studying, researching and working with this theme for many years. I’d love to connect with more folks for whom this is a passion. Share ideas, resources. How do you work with clients in the arena of body wisdom and consciousness in facilitating change, particularly in the area of health?
