Your Heart

Basically, your heart is structured to function as a double pump, with both the right and the left heart having a structure to receive blood and a structure to pump out blood to all cells, tissues and organs of your body. The heart structures that receive the blood are called the atria while the structures that pump the blood are called ventricles. Blood leaves the heart in pulsed waves at a constant and natural frequency. The heart actively contracts to force blood out of its chambers and passively relaxes to allow the next quantity of blood to enter. Contraction of the two ventricles moves the blood out of the heart while relaxation of the two atria refills the heart with blood. This series of relaxation and contraction of the heart muscle, which pumps blood to all parts of the body, continues non-stop throughout your life time from birth till your last breathe. Cardiac muscles contracts and relaxes about 70 to 80 per minute without us ever having to be aware and think about it. What a miracle! Your heart beats are manifestations of your heart’s vibration energy frequency. Electrical Supply from the Heart Your heart is also the main supplier of electrical power to your body. To put it simply, your heart functions as electrical machine. In all human beings, a normal heart beat is initiated by a small pulse of electric current which originates from pacemaker cells located at the top of your heart. Pacemaker cells are specialized in producing electricity. Thus, the first electric wave produced in your body starts at the top of your heart and spreads downwards all over the heart. Also called the S-A node, the pacemaker establishes the normal frequency at which your heart beats, or your heart’s biorhythm. Overall, your natural pacemaker and specialized electrical conduction cells and tissues, including your heart rate are controlled by signals from your brain through your involuntary nervous system to your pacemaker cells. Your involuntary nervous system also controls many other functions of your body including breathing, blood pressure, and excretion. You can see now that your heart produces electricity in addition to its well-known function of pumping and distributing blood to all parts of your body. The heart’s electricity naturally has its own electromagnetic field and vibration frequency. Recent advances in scientific research have led to the development of man-made pace makers to assist a failing heart. The technological pacemaker is surgically inserted in the chest by medical doctors to deliver steady and regular electric impulses to a defective heart. The device can help stabilize the electric conduction system when the natural pacemaker cells are not functioning properly. When there is power failure in your heart due to disease or malfunction, everything else in the body ceases to function, signal from the brain ceases, blood flow to organ tissues stops, every other system in your body shuts down, you loose consciousness and life ceases. You are dead! No amount of oxygen will restore your life unless your heart’s electricity is restored. That’s why the doctor checks the heart first before he or she pronounces a person dead.

Prayer and Meditation

Pray and meditate each morning when you get out of bed because the way you start your day affects your emotional outlook for the day and largely determines how you would spend the rest of the day. So, take good care of what you do when you get out of bed in the morning. You are more likely to get frazzledand zapped as the day drags on if you begin the day hurrying and running around frantically at a breakneck speed. Do you realize that being jarred out of bed by an alarm clock can suddenly raise your heart beat, pulse rate, and blod pressure to an alarming state? Wake up peacefully and serenely without the aid of an alrm clock and start your day prayerfully with a sence of calm, devotion, and thanksgiving.

Prayer is a loving communication between you and God. It is healing to your mind, body, and spirit. Prayer can lift the heavy burden in your heart and reduce the impact of stress on your whole being. It is a transcendent method of communion with the Almighty, based on the realization and conviction that God is an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient loving Father who is always willing to listen to our petitions and meet our sincere needs. Praying enables you to communicate with God, seek and receive divine wisdom, inspiration, guidance, protection, and help daily. All effective prayer contains three vital elements: gratitude, confession, and intercession. Everyday in your life, beginning from the morning, you need to sincerely give thanks to God for a good night’s sleep, for the gift of a brand new day, and for having received so many blessings from Him, especially the blessing of good health. You should always endeavor to raise your hearts to God in gratitude and thanksgiving every morning and all day for being fortunate in so many ways, even when you are stressed out and can no longer realize or appreciate the true worth of what you have through God’s love, grace, and blessings. You also need to confess your sins of commission or omission such as an error of judgment, conduct, or action to God and plead for forgiveness. Furthermore, you need to ask God to intercede and help you whenever you have vital constructive desires or whenever you need a solution to a problem that is causing the stress in your life.

Health Benefits of Transcendental Meditation

Meditation is an effective practice for health and well-being. Thousands of years of practice have demonstrated a beneficial link between meditation and healing. The meditative practice is associated with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual responses important for health maintenance, disease prevention and general well-being. Scientific evidence has shown that Transcendental Meditation (TM) reduces stress, improves health and creates calmness, serenity, tranquility and inner peace. TM has proven to be an effective tool for stress management, energy restoration, spiritual development and maintenance of good health.

Western medical experts and physicians are now beginning to recognize the health benefits of meditation. Published research shows that TM can reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, atherosclerosis, thickening of coronary arteries, and constriction of blood vessels. The technique can improve breathing for asthma sufferers, ease digestive problems, assist in the management of chronic pain, and improve sleep and immunity. Medical meditation is also effective in managing a wide range of mental and emotional disorders, including depression, anxiety, anger, compulsive behaviors, chronic stress, and various types of addictions.

By practicing TM daily, you can keep yourself healthy, prevent common infections, chronic diseases, or turn back the aging clock naturally without pharmaceutical drugs or surgery. You can also keep your skin healthy and young-looking with non-invasive Transcendental Meditation without taking drugs or going through the pains of plastic surgery. Yes, meditation is medicine! Transcendental Meditation is therapeutic! Appropriate practice of this ancient technique can reduce the use of sleeping pills, anti-depressive and anti-anxiety drugs, as well as the use of anti-hypertensive medications.

Scientific evidence shows that TM can prolong life by reducing mortality rates due to heart diseases. Because of this realization, there is now an increased use of various meditation practices in academic medical centers and hospitals for patients presenting with a range of diseases and disorders including pain-related disorders, stress and stress-associated disorders, and chronic diseases. Transcendental Meditation is a natural, effortless, and relaxation technique practiced 10-20 minutes twice daily while sitting comfortably in the privacy of your room. The technique is cheap, easy, and enjoyable to practice and requires no change in lifestyle.

Modern Theories of Disease

The “Germ Theory” of disease proposed years ago does not present a complete picture of factors governing health and harmony in the human body. Disease does not necessarily begin with the entrance of a germ, the contacting of bacteria or virus, or the development of infection or inflammation, but more often, it begins with a previous lowering of the normal standard of health resulting from the weakening of the electronic nature of the body. When the electronic nature of your body is weakened, any kind of disease may develop. However, nature provides defense systems and mechanisms for a healthy, normal body to resist the entry of viruses, bacteria and germs. When your physical and spiritual beings are healthy, properly attuned with the vibration of the Spirit of God, disease-causing germs or bacteria any kind entering the body would have difficulty in producing any disease. Unhealthy lifestyle combined with chronic stress often reduce the frequency of your natural vibration and prevents your body from fighting infections and diseases. Moreover, if the magnetic field around your body (aura) is weakened by your lifestyle, any kind of disease may develop. However, when our physical, mental, and spiritual beings are healthy, and the aura properly attuned to its natural frequency of vibrations, disease-causing germs or bacteria would hardly gain entry into the body. In addition, any kind of diseases-causing particle entering the body would have difficulty in producing any disease because the energy around and within the body would not allow it. When the vital powers within your body are functioning properly within the normal range of frequency, there is no need or necessity for medicines, herbal extracts or supplements, drugs, or any of the remedial compounds and mixtures that are limited strictly to the material composition of your body. Chronic stress, as well as your lifestyle, daily activities, and what you eat and drink affects your aura and the overall state of your health and general well-being.

Physiology of Chronic Stress

Chronic stress negatively impacts the physiology of your whole body The brain is the first target for stress. Prolonged stress can prevent the brain from adequately controlling the physiological and psychological coping responses to daily events and stressors in your life, makes you a nervous wreck, and impedes your ability to carry out your daily responsibilities effectively. Constant and continual reaction to stress for a long period of time overloads the brain with hormones and neurochemicals naturally intended for short-term activity during an emergency. The cumulative effect of chemical overload may be toxic to nerve cells in the brain which may lead to the damage and destruction nerve cells and ultimately resulting in the death of brain cells. In essence, chronic stress gradually kills brain cells. It is now widely accepted in medical and clinical circles that stress destabilizes the nervous system. Scientific studies have shown that chronic stress has a cumulative effect on your brain. First and foremost, chronic stress promotes the overload of brain chemicals It leads to chronic over-secretion of cortisol and powerful brain chemicals which are needed only in emergency situations for short-term activities. This chemical overload damages and kills your brain cells, impairs your memory, promotes forgetfulness, reduces your ability to remember and learn, hampers your thinking processes, and consequently promotes poor judgments and awful decisions. Repeated or prolonged exposure cortisol has a deleterious effect on the function of your brain and may likely contribute to the age-related decline in brain function. Overall, long-term stress can shred your nervous system, induce mental poisoning, and put your whole life in total confusion. The psychological ravages of chronic stress are also extensive. It depletes the body’s level of the “feel good” brain chemical called serotonin. Depletion of serotonin can make you moody, depressed, cloudy, irritable, and hypersensitive, and can prevent you from focusing or concentrating on the task at hand and issues of the day. During periods of chronic stress, you become overwhelmed with your normal chores and activities and everything in life becomes a big deal and you end up sweating over things that you normally regard as non-issues or small stuff. Constant and long-term emotional stress may manifest as chronic pain, headache, dizziness, depression, anxiety, fear, anger, and self-hate. Individuals who continually deal with chronic stress are very quick to lose their temper and are easily frustrated and overwhelmed by circumstances. Under stress, some people may spend a considerable amount of crying and complaining over the stressful event instead of taking a corrective action. Chronic stress can also cause a mental block and/or mental poisoning, which can impede your thought processes, hamper your thinking, and prevent you from making right decision or judgment.
