Many of us who are a little older have memories of watching Tarzan the jungle man on TV, pounding his chest before he sprung into action making a brave rescue. He would belt out a primal yelling sound as he swung through the trees into action.
He was actually doing something unique that bolstered his strength when he pounded his chest. He was doing what we call Thymus Thumps!
Every Thanksgiving, many people set aside a special time to reflect on what they’re most thankful for. Did you know our hypothalamus floods our brain with dopamine every time we express gratitude? Brain science shows that it actually rewires the brain. This gives us a natural high which can motivate us to spread more love and kindness to those around us.
Winter is a time for restoration, rejuvenation, reflection, containment, concentration and storing energy to prepare for the year to come. Abundant reserves within us provide courage and strength. Lack of reserves can manifest in negative emotions that drain our energy and compromise our immune systems.
I find it so fascinating that Chinese medicine theory states that all dis-ease begins inside the energy system before physical symptoms show up in the body. The acupuncture system was created by the Chinese 5000 years ago. They discovered that disease occurred when the life-force, or qi (pronounced, chi), is not flowing freely.
Chapman Reflex points were originally discovered by Dr. Frank Chapman and further developed by Dr. Charles Owen. Later on, Dr. George Goodheart, father of Applied Kinesiology, correlated each of these reflexes with specific muscles, organs, and systems of the body.
When we are stressed, the amygdala in our brain triggers our glands to pump the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, throughout our bloodstream. We go into stress mode, we experience vasoconstriction to our brain, which makes it very difficult to process emotional stress. This simple technique can help restore vascular blood flow, allowing you to successfully process challenging emotions.
By my son’s 2rd birthday, my husband and I were at our wits end. Exhausted, confused, desperate, and feeling like failures as parents, we cried and prayed for answers. Our son had frequent tummy aches, headaches, ear infections, temper tantrums, hyperactivity, and more. He didn’t listen to us very well, either. We had to call out his name 3 to 5 times before he would respond.
Light is one of the main guides our body uses to manage our internal “clock”. A rapid journey through multiple time zones can put our internal clock out of sync with the new day-and-night rhythm. Our internal clock gets confused as it attempts to adapt to a new time, a new light/dark rhythm, and a different activity/inactivity cycle.
