COHERENT ENERGY NEWS Energy Psychology–Getting the Right Answers–Making The Right Choices Biofeedback HRV and EFT- PART 3: The primary healing nerve in your body, the vagus nerve, mediates the activity of the “rest and renew”, relax, release and heal. Overall, activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) promotes stress release so you can recuperate from day-to-day stress, keeping the Autonomic nervous System (ANS) in balance. When your PNS is active it is characterized by:
As noted earlier, most of the actions of your ANS are involuntary. However, there is a wealth of literature on the voluntary manipulation of these systems to control the activation of your PSN for release response. The PNS is also engaged by focusing on coherent or high resonance words such as forgiveness, peace, love, etc. Perhaps the two most important methods of actively triggering your release response are: 1. Learning to change your breathing 2. Learning to change your focus. By changing your breathing and your focus, you can increase the PNS influence on your heart-and therefore relax your body. There is a third method of stress release that has only been hinted at in the HRV research. It is this third methodology where I feel a giant breakthrough is about to be realized. This is: 3. Releasing traumatic incidents that exhibit involuntary control triggering SNS override or reactivation using Energy Psychology. There is a fast growing body of literature on the effects of method 1 and 2, consisting mostly of relaxation exercises on stress-related illnesses and performance. In particular, breathing slowly can activate the vagus nerve to help enhance PNS control. However, slow breathing without physiological biofeedback–which provides the cues that you are doing it correctly–can actually be counter-productive because you are not breathing in sync with your nervous system. For example, extending your exhale is generally a good thing. Slow breathing and extended exhales are integrated into most relaxation and meditation practices. But research reveals that extending your exhale too long is not good for your nervous system. The research also reveals that everyone has a unique breathing frequency that will maximize PNS activity. Moreover, a common complaint with unassisted breathing techniques is that your mind wanders shortly after beginning the exercise, which limits its physiological benefits. Of the 3 methods or process of stress reduction, relaxation response and trauma release, my candidate for the most long term results is #3. If you perform the third process using Energy Psychology, EFT or my own invention, iBliss, number 1 and 2 unfold from the bliss itself.
“As far back as I can remember, I was deeply affected by sound. The local civil defense siren stirred emotions of fear and anxiety, while the chord progressions in church seemed to cause my emotional state to be one of deep peace and gratitude. Sound, as I have since learned, is a powerful tool for personal transformation. The obvious effect is on the emotional body, and this can be seen in numerous ways. But sound also has a profound effect on the subtle bodies within the human multidimensional system. Sound can be an amazing trigger for altered states, and this is where Pranahigh LLC comes into play! For years as a music minister, I witnessed the deep and seemingly life changing impact of music on peoples’ lives as they participated in a worship service. At other times, individuals would sit back and not really seem to engage at all, but deep down inside, changes were happening. I recall thinking during these times of spiritual awakening, is it the melody, the harmony, the tempo, the particular sound, the synergy in the room, the unity and state of being of the group performing, the Spirit of God, or maybe all of the above? I know music can be performed from an emotional, mental, subtle, and even causal level of being. A lot depends on the state of being of the performer or performers. Nobody seems to think about the state of being of a great spiritual master such as Jesus as he performs what the rest of us call miracles. From that state though, there are no miracles; there’s only the manipulation of what we call matter from an in-between state of consciousness where all and everything is unified, and there is only ONE! |
