How to Lower Blood Pressure

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.

These people often tells me that their father, mother, grandparents and their aunts, uncles, did suffer from soaring blood pressure. So, it might be in their genes, correct?

Time and again, their question is very much the same….

“How could this program possible help me in such an impossible situation?”.

As this is a frequent question, I have decided to explain it here on this blog.

Hypertension is caused by wrong diet or genetic factors. But it is only a small portion of the problem. The biggest part is because of thinking patterns and emotions.

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.

I am giving a little example from the simple world where I grew up .

In my childhood , I use to stay with my parents in the city, they had a farm in the country side, and my grandmother use to look after the farm.

I love to spend the summers on the farm, and most importantly i loved the horses.

Out there, we could ride forever without ever having to cross a road. There were a few tractors around and of course we had cars but they were few and 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 here comes the important part…

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?

Firstly, we use to take them out with an older horse who was much relaxed and was not affected at all by these static. This made the youngster regain their confidence that everything was perfectly fine.

But even more important…

After feeding them with hays, and when everything was quiet we spent hours brushing and combing them in the evenings. We saw that we were making progress when the youngster enjoyed his treatment that he would close his eyes and even stopped eating even if the hay was in front of him.

Soon, the traffic and static didn’t seem to bother the youngster as much. He had his focused brake in the evening and that gave his nerve system enough soothing so he could deal with the difficult tasks during the day. The tension in their back disappeared and you could feel them relax.

At present, it is very different. Even if the horses comes from the countryside they are more used to the fast world. They do benefit a lot by getting a long quiet brushing in the evenings. And it too benefits me just like the horses.

Similar to the youngsters in training, we not only have to deal with the fast world around us. But we do need to tackle the difficult tasks and people every day. This is the reason why our nerve system is on high gear and is tense since morning till night.

Even if everything is calm and there is no external stimulation for a short time, our brains are not relaxed. The brain keeps spinning with all the tensions we are facing or any type of resentment about something like “somebody did to us” during the day. The system is still in high gear. So, our blood pressure might be even worse than before.

The mind keeps on going until we fall asleep.

Hypertension might be genetic for some of us, blood pressure might be temporarily flared up due to our diet. But the main reason is our head like our own emotions and mind, which actively bugs us from morning to night.

Meditation proves to be somewhat effective for hypertension. But many people has the difficulty to sit and to silence their mind for 30-60 minutes a day. Because the mind begins to spin faster 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.

The idea is that everybody can follow these exercises and start benefiting very fast. There is no skill to practice and nothing to learn about. It works only if you use it, and it does not matter how bad your situation might be.

The most interesting part is , that it gives you a small break from the world. A period where there is no worries and pressures. That is the best of it. Have fun.
