One thing that we shuld nt delve int is a lng and difficult and ften, cmpletely unprductive venture int understanding what happened t us at wrk, r as kids, r at hckey practice, etc. As with ther discussins we have had, we cannt mve frward while lking behind us.

2 lrem ipsum dlr The Predispsitins f Anxiety, Stress, and Depressin Predispsitins fr the varius types f anxiety, stress and depressin are usually life lng, but if ne des shift frm ne type f predispsitin t anther, the change usually happens when ne is 24 in the case f men and 28 in the case f wmen. ANXIETY Anxius peple are referred t as Digestive. Their Parasympathetic Nervus System is weak. Symptms are related t prblems with their bld. When these peple receive bad news, they receive it thrugh their slar plexus. They als have sensitivities in the lngs, thrat and sinuses. When these peple have a headache, it happens in the frnt f the head. STRESS Peple experiencing stress are referred t as Nervus Peple. They have prblems with their Sympathetic Nervus System and their prblems tend t manifest in the lymphatic system. When they receive bad news, it is received in the neck and shulders and headaches start in the back f the head. They tend t have fewer immunlgical prblems than Digestive Peple experience. DEPRESSION Depressin is mst ften likely linked t a persn s genes. They are nt necessarily depressed chrnically, but they vacillate between feelings f strength and weakness. Depressed peple are a very small ppulatin. BRAIN CHEMICAL IMBALANCES Peple with imbalances are a very small ppulatin and are the nly ppulatin that shuld take medicatin because they cannt manufacture their wn required neurchemicals. What we will discuss nw is hw these issues are impacted and ften cmpunded r reslved by ur wn behaviurs and chices. Once again, mst f the slutins are ur wn creatin and d nt cme frm the utside. Ways f Being ONE WAY: LAZINESS' There are fur factrs t laziness, but which derives r precedes which is debatable. Laziness (nt wanting t d anything) brings the energy f yur bdy dwn. Fr example, when yu decide that yu will spend the whle day in bed, yu expect t have mre energy, while in reality yu are mre tired. They bdy was created t thrive when it is in actin. Laziness brings yur physical and nn-energy levels dwn. In the nn-physical the first rgans in line after yur dantien are yur kidneys and when yu are lazy, yur kidney energy ges dwn and enhances the negative energy f yur kidneys, meaning fear is increased. Fear is the secnd factr. The third factr resulting frm fear is that yu feel stuck. When yu are fearful and stuck, the furth factr manifests in the frm f sicknesses. This is a cycle. Hwever, there is n single jumping in pint r end pint in the cycle. A persn can enter at any pint f this cycle and then deterirate alng the cycle s path. ' Prir t the 1970 s we called these Actin and Inactin. Nw it is called Laziness and Actin. The reasns fr this change are nt within the scpe f this newsletter. 2

lrem ipsum dlr Understanding Yur Recvery Prcesses The classical view f hw peple precipitate frm Laziness t Illness is depicted in the flw diagram abve.

The sickness can becme an immune deficiency that will bring illness n the physical level. Or the sickness can manifest as a mental deficiency that becmes depressin.

3 lrem ipsum dlr Understanding Yur Recvery Prcesses The classical view f hw peple precipitate frm Laziness t Illness is depicted in the flw diagram abve. In reality, hwever this is nt always hw things wrk. As mentined, this is essentially a cycle r a wheel where yur challenges can arise anywhere alng the cntinuum and cntinue in either directin. The sickness can becme an immune deficiency that will bring illness n the physical level. Or the sickness can manifest as a mental deficiency that becmes depressin. When yu are at that stage, every event becmes a stressr and yu spiral in t increasingly deeper prblems. This reinfrces the entire f cycle f Laziness. THE THREE IMPORTANT STEPS TO RECOVERY Recgnizing the fact that yu are experiencing a cycle f fear anxiety and depressin Accepting the fact that yu are in this cycle f fear anxiety and depressin Learning t nt feel shame ver yur predicament It is imprtant that yu must nt feel inclined t feel ashamed because f yur predicament. If yu are ashamed yu are telling the wrld that being depressed is shameful. This is nt what yu shuld be feeling; yu are nt helping yur wn wrld r that arund yu by feeling shame. Shame will cause yu t hide this issue and nt take actin t cme ut f it. THE OTHER WAY: ACTION Yu are acting tward yur gals r what yu need t achieve. The persn in Actin sees the bumps in life as psitive challenges, like being invlved in a very cmpetitive vide game; they are in a challenge that they want t win. By having thse challenges, thse psitive stressrs, they becme mre resilient and that brings them happiness. In cntrast, the peple experiencing Laziness see the bumps in life as a negative prblem that they think they will never be able t transcend, making them frget r abandn their riginal gal. This channeling was given t yu because yu are already live in their secnd chakra. Peple living in their first chakra are nt able t get int their wn secnd chakra, they need t address their needs f the first chakra, which is basic security. ANXIETY AND TOOLS TO ADDRESS IT These tls are primarily fr peple wh suffer anxiety, but they are als supprtive f peple wh suffer frm stress. Where yu enter the wheel that takes yu t illness can happen frm any pint. The wrld wants yu t live in fear. Fathers, bsses, religius leaders, family, jbs can all play a rle in exacerbating anxiety. This anxiety creates an envirnment f cntrl r f feeling that yu are being cntrlled. The pressures frm anxiety lead t fear and fear takes yu t stress t illness t laziness, etc. Why are yu like this and why d yu suffer frm anxiety? Yu leave hme withut tls and yu are nt lazy, but yu thrwn int difficult issues withut the tls t deal with thse issues. Yu are then stuck because yu have nt the tls yu need t manage thse issues. It can start with sickness and prgress t thrugh the rest f the cycle. It des nt matter at the end f the day why this is happening, and wrry abut the reasns r the path will nt help yu mve frward. Yu need t simply mve tward healing. Let g and mve frward tward actin t get better. Anxiety cmes frm a hrmne imbalance. Or it can cme frm a lack f knwing yur gal(s), r a lack f knwing what yu need t achieve. Rebalancing hrmnes can happen quite easily. TOOLS FOR MANAGING ANXIETY Exercise: We rarely want t g, but we feel better when we are finished ur exercises. This really des make yu feel better Fd: Fd is an imprtant building blck f yur hrmnes Peple wh d nt eat will tend t have imbalances. There is n single way t eat; yu need t srt this ut n a persnal level. One way t d this is just t g shpping, and see what yu are attracted t in F12.

Nw there is als a cnstant fear f sun expsure resulting in melanma because f a depleted prtective zne layer. T benefit frm the sun, we need t be expsed withut sunscreen therwise there is n penetratin f the sun t the skin layers that prduce Vit D.

Shitake mushrms (fresh r dried) are als an excellent surce.

STRESS AND TOOLS TO ADDRESS IT Stress is a lack f fcus and relaxatin. A gd example f stress inducement due t lack f fcus is multi-tasking. Stress accumulates when yu try t multi-task. Cntrary t ppular belief, multi-tasking is impssible, and it is ptentially hazardus. The brain can nly fcus n ne activity at a time. Yu might think yu are ding tw r mre things at a time, but all yu are really ding is splitting yur attentin between ne thing and anther faster than is practical. Each time yu shift frm ne fcus area t anther, yu have t restart a new activity be figuring ut where yu left ff and then restart frm that pint. This is very tiring and cmpletely unprductive. Explre the cnsequences f texting r ther distracted driving and yu will learn fr certain that multi-tasking is nt pssible. Stress is als due t a lack f ding things that yu like t d. Yu are the nly ne wh can fix this. Meditatin will help yu as will letting g f the things that d nt supprt yu. Rest and relaxatin is really imprtant. A few pauses in yur wrkday will make a huge difference, even if yu need t frce yurself t d it. Yu can get mbile Aps t help yu r t send yurself a message etc., t remind yu in a TO DO list t relax. Relaxatin is gd fr the brain. Yur Mnday t Sunday schedule fr mediatin remves stress frm deciding which meditatin t d and it reduces the tendency t skip meditatins.

The challenges we face are predicated n hw we see urselves and ur situatins, whether we see urselves as learners r victims, whether we see urselves as empwered r pwerless. In shrt, ur experiences are based n ur wn self-talk and hw we judge ur lives and the events ccurring in them. What is als true is that what is left is the realizatin that all slutins stem frm within. Yu can g t any utside surce, like a therapist, a gym, spirituality, etc., r we can g within. Either way, any slutins that we really prfit frm at the end f the day really d start frm within; it begins with the decisin t make changes. N ne can d that fr us. We d that fr urselves and we are the nly nes wh can d this fr urselves. Take this t heart. Use the tls described in this newsletter.

Much f ur daily stimulatin is negative; the news, accidents, illness, etc. We are addicted t negativity as a sciety because negativity helps feed the fears that we are prgramed t seek. Create yur rehabilitatin prcess by fcusing nly n psitive stimuli. Bredm brings depressin, s seek ut psitive stimulatin. ADDICTIONS CONTRIBUTE TO DEPRESSION YOU DO NOT STOP ADDICTIONS - YOU REPLACE THEM Here is an example f replacing an additin: Cnsider an addictin t refined sugar. If yu are addicted t sugar, yu wuld nt want t change t quickly; instead yu make subtle changes ver time. Sugar can be replaced with an apple since an apple cntains bth water and sugar. The apple can then be replaced by water if that is what yu want t d. D nt attempt a direct remval f yur sugar additin by mving directly frm sugar t water. ALUMINUM BRAIN DISORDERS If yu have prblems with yur brain, remve as many aluminum prducts frm yu life as pssible. A majr cntributr t brain damage is frm hygiene prducts such that cntain aluminum. Dedrants and antiperspirants cntain a lt f aluminum. There are natural prducts that are effective and can be fund at Super Stre. Yu want t g as far as t flush the metals frm yur bdy.
