Anxiety Attacks – a Spiritual Event

Spiritually, an anxiety attack happens when fear takes over the situation.  Fear is a huge spiritual issue which can overcome your ability to cope.  You feel you are worthless, helpless, and cannot trust life.   You feel stuck and limited in life but don’t want to make changes.  Stress can be a factor.  Fear looms large.

Anxiety attacks usually begin suddenly and peak within a few minutes.  Symptoms include a rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, chills, and a sense of impending doom.

For starters, anxiety attacks require professional help.  If you visit a Chiropractor, massage therapist, psychotherapist, yoga teacher, schedule your sessions within twenty-four hours to forty-eight hours for maximum benefit of both.

The synchronicity of your sessions (which should include Reiki, chakra healing, and reflexology) will boost the benefits of these modalities.  Your sessions will calm some side effects of drugs taken during treatment.

Do you take prescriptive drugs, herbs, or other medications for a medical condition?   Make sure everyone on your medical team knows about all drugs, herbs, oils and other medications you take.  Ask your bodyworkers to work  body systems that apply to your medications, drugs, and herbs.

Bodywork sessions during treatment can balance your chakras, encourage homeostasis, ground your systems, and support your healing process.

SUGGESTED HEALING SYSTEMS

Conventional medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine, Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Herbalism.

Anxiety attacks are a valid reason to seek medical help.  They are hard to manage without professional help but they may worsen without treatment.  The main treatments include psychotherapy and medications.

Although many things contribute to anxiety attacks, one which is important overall is nutrition.  A qualified nutritionist can support your path toward a stress-free environment  because what you eat or don’t eat directly affects your day-to-day health.

CHAKRA:

Anxiety attacks are a seventh chakra imbalance.

REFLEXOLOGY SYSTEMS TO WORK:  endocrine system, digestive system, nervous system, liver, and solar plexus.

Work all systems which apply to any other health issues you experience.

ESSENTIAL OILS:

THINGS TO DO

Learn a breathing technique to ground yourself in your body.  Learn stress management techniques to calm yourself and overcome the stress you experience.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:

Why do I feel so powerless?  Why is fear interfering with my daily life?

When You Consider the Pace and Demands of Life in the 21st Century, it’s no Wonder that Stress is a Huge Factor and Issue in our Health Care Dilemma

The causes are overwhelming and include lifestyle situations, medications, time management, relationship issues, which produce biological responses, any or all of which can contribute to making a person somewhat, or even very, ill.  Many people live with stressed adrenal glands.

Prolonged stressful situations can have effects lasting an entire lifetime.  In some cases, children growing up in stressful or abusive situations maintain a stress alert throughout adulthood so they never seem unstressed.  This can contribute to disease even decades later.

Stress weakens the immune system and, because of this, becomes a factor in diseases such as angina, anorexia, anxiety disorders, autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, colds, depression, Type II Diabetes, digestive diseases, fibromyalgia, headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, immune suppression, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual irregularities, PMS, rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis, ulcerative colitis, ulcers.

“Flare ups” because of an event or problem can trigger outbreaks of acne, arthritis, asthma, heartburn, Multiple Sclerosis.

It’s important for your client partners to develop positive coping habits to manage stress.  These include yoga, meditation, tai chi, regular Reflexology for the Spirit sessions.

A healthy diet is essential for stress management.  People suffering from the effects of stress should restrict or eliminate caffeine, alcohol, and refined carbohydrates.  Meals should be eaten in a relaxed atmosphere.

Reflexology for the Spirit facilitates homeostasis.  It can also be used to calm the adrenal glands.  This is essential when dealing with stress.
