Altered blood chemistry = altered state.

The physiology of our human body is responsive to chemical influences. We have receptor sites in our body for the receiving of chemical influence. When the body requires a certain inherent chemical it sends a message into the system the chemicals are produced and attach themselves to the receptor site in question and low and behold we have altered out state of being somehow.

Adrenalin is a favorite, a hit of adrenalin will keep us going when we get tired. In order to get the adrenalin we create a scenario (the fight or flight response) and we get a 'hit' of the stuff. It gives us a temporary shot of adrenalin, which would normally last until the 'fight or flight' crisis is over. Some people become addicted to it and keep creating drama's in order to keep the stuff pumping into the bloodstream. Over the long term this can lead to a syndrome known as 'adrenal exhaustion', commonly known as 'burnout'.

Burnout is only taken notice of when it requires us to take time off work, or makes us sick in some way. But it is all around us, all the time. Some of us are living on a knife edge of energy depletion. The question is WHY?

Have we become hypnotised to believe that we need 'lots of money', lots of things to own and have? Well of course we have!
It, like many other bizarre behaviours, such as compulsive gambling, drinking and drugging are now accepted as being totally normal. But if you can just for a second get outside of the box you may begin to realise just how crazy it is - crazy beyond belief!

A whole industry has now sprung up around these issues, the industry is known as health care or healing or some other such thing. But once more we see the craziness of it all. A massive supermarket of healers and therapists telling you what is and what is not good for you!

Ok enough of that - Really if you just stop for a moment and take a deep breath, relax the shoulders a little and relax a bit more, suddenly your whole world has changed. The inherent chemical messengers are going to do the job for you. Relax and the brain relaxes into deeper states or frequencies - Beta - Alpha - Theta and Delta. As you relax your brain all of reality changes before your very eyes.

You may well respond to this by saying - 'it's not that easy', and you'll be right it's not. But you gotta start somewhere - right?

Yoga will help you relax and that is the starting point for change.
