I keep on receiving emails from people who have tried everything to lower their high blood pressure which rises up to 210/140. These people are on medications for many years and have taken each and every supplements that exists. Like that wasn't enough, they also tell me their father, mother, grandfather and grandfather plus several aunts and uncles suffered soaring blood pressure. So it must be in their genes, right? Nearly every time, they do have the same sort of question.... "Is this program really going to help me in this critical condition?" I have decided to answer this question in this blog, in view of the fact that it is so common. You see, hypertension is of course partly caused by genetic factors or wrong bad modern days diet. But that is only a small part of the problem. Emotions and thinking patterns plays much bigger part. We react to stimulation around us for approximately 24 hours a day. We are awake for at least 16 hours, and we are under internal or external pressure constantly. Our body is not in its top form to deal with these stimulation. In any case this technological world is only a few years old. We do not realize how irresistible this constant stimulation is as we are very much used to it. Here is an example from the simple world where I have grown. When I was a kid, my parents use to live in the city but they had a farm in the country side which was taken care of by my grandmother. I love to spend the summers on the farm, and most importantly i loved the horses. In the farm we could ride for a long period without requiring to cross a road. There are only a few tractors present and we did had a few cars but were far between. When we had youngsters, we began training them in the summer when they were four years old. We took it slowly and most often they were very calm and easy to handle. It wasn't till second or third year in training that we brought them to the stable in the city in the winter time. Now the main part comes... These young horses were very frightened when they faced the city they saw fast cars all over, screaming people and big houses. The stimulation was overwhelming for them even in the quiet stable area. When we took them for riding they would either froze or run off or just shook all over. So what did we do to help them get over this? First of all, we always took them out with an older horse who was relaxed and wasn't affected by all the static. This gave the youngster confident that everything was all right. But even more important... During evenings after feeding them with hays and when everything was quiet we use to spent hours brushing and combing them. The youngsters use to enjoy his treatment so much that he use to close his eyes and even stopped eating even if the hay was right in front of him and we saw that we were making progress. After some time, the youngster didn't seem to bother much about the traffic and static situations. He did have his focused brake in the evenings which gave his nerve enough soothing so that he could deal with the difficult tasks during daytime. You could feel them relax as the tension disappeared from their back. Nowadays it is much different. The horses are more used to the fast world. Even if they come straight from the countryside. But they still benefit a lot from getting their long quiet brushing in the evening. And I think I benefit just as much from them. As like the youngsters in training, not only we need to deal with the fast world around us. Everyday we do require to deal with difficult people and tasks. This definitely puts our nerve system in the high gear and keeps it tense for 24 hours . Even when everything is quiet and there is no external stimulation for a short while, our brains won't let go. It keeps spinning either with all the worries we're facing or resentment about something "somebody did to us" during the day. Our system is still in the high gear. And our blood pressure may be worse than ever. The mind keeps on going until we fall asleep. Some of us may be more genetically open for hypertension, our diet may also temporarily flair up our blood pressure. But nothing is on us like our own emotions and mind. Nothing actively bugs us from morning to night like our own head. Meditation might be effective for hypertension. But I have not seen many people who can sit and silence their mind for 30-60 minutes every day. At that time the mind begins to spin with even more force than before. There is totally no efforts required for my focused break exercises. All you need to do is to follow the direction on the audio. The second exercise is little bit like the feeling in the stable when we groom the horses when everything is quiet. The first exercise is more like a technique which I learned from one of the famous horse whisperer, who is still alive. Everyone can start following these exercises and benefit very quickly. You don't require to learn anything and no skills to practice. It works only because you want to work and it doesn't matters how bad your situation may look. And the best part is, it gives you a little time off from the world. A time with no worries and no pressure. That's what I like the most about them. So enjoy.
