How to pump emotional stability

In Chinese medicine, emotional stability is an indicator of both psychological and physical health. That “breaks” in our body if we constantly experience mood swings, and how to “fix” it?

The main goal of Chinese medicine is to help a person restore the balance: to ensure that the body gains inner harmony and is in balance with the outside world. Any emotional imbalance: regular experiences, stressful states, emotional changes – in Chinese medicine it is directly binded to health. If emotions are “unbalanced”, the body also suffers – it becomes subject

to various diseases.

Emotions and organs

In Chinese medicine, every emotion is associated with one or another organ. For example, anger is a signal that the liver is in an imbalance. Moreover, how the body can “generate” emotions (the liver hurts, because we “love” to be angry), so emotions affect the body: the more often we are angry, the worse the state of the liver. There are many such patterns: sadness is associated with the state of the lungs, the passion for self -digging and self -enforcement is expressed in violations of the spleen, and so on. Where to start treatment and how to break this vicious circle, only a specialist can decide.

Western medicine also studies the so -called psychosomatic diseases (body diseases associated with the psychological state), but the therapeutic effect at the same time on the sore organ and on the “sick” emotion has not yet become a trend. Therefore, if you understand that some emotion you have about and without, it is worth being examined by a doctor of Chinese medicine. A specialist can diagnose deviations that will lead to diseases only after a few years, and timely treatment will help prevent their development.

Balance at body level

What does a person look like who is emotionally stable, calm, self -confident and happy? In Chinese medicine, it is believed that emotional stability is possible only on the basis of physical stability, balance. So, a healthy body with good posture is the basis for maintaining an emotional balance.

Each emotion “settles” in the body in the form of certain clamps. These stresses help to realize it: for example, when we are sad, we stoop, the chest tenses, “closes”. This is how the artists of the animators depict sadness: the unfortunate character shoulders and neck forward, and the back with a wheel.

Another example: you are probably familiar with people who regularly drop something, stumble, fall. How with their emotional stability? Not too good too! Emotional stability is directly related to physical resistance: the ability to stand on your feet, properly distribute body weight by foot.

Search for relaxation

To get rid of muscle clamps, it is useful to master any gymnastics aimed at active relaxation. It is important to learn how to find the usual stresses that we ceased to notice and relax them. The attention management skills will help in this.

Having mastered, for example, qigong for the spine, Sing Juang, we learn to manage attention: it travels through the body and notes stresses that have long ceased to read the brain. When choosing gymnastics for relaxation, remember that you will study precisely the attentive, sensitive performance of exercises, the search for a new, unusual type of movement.

Work on body stability

In order to “pump” body resistance, different balance exercises are suitable in combination with the very active relaxation that we have already talked about. Learn to stand on one leg, straining all possible muscles, it is possible, although it is not easy. But how to find an “asymmetric balance”, when all the extra muscles “turn off” and only the necessary minimum muscles remain in the tone? The task is interesting, and it is its solution that provides us with true stability – both at the level of the body and at the level of emotions.

Try to perform one of the exercises of the practice of Sing Shen Juang, which teaches the body to a new level of balance.

1. Stand evenly, the feet are close, the back is straight, the crown strives upward.
2. Raise your right leg so that the thigh is parallel to the floor, the knee is bent at 90 degrees, the toe is stretched and looks at the floor. Hands bent at the elbows, the forearms are parallel to the floor.
3. Start rotating the foot outward, preserving the balance. The muscles of the thigh and buttocks are as relaxed as possible, the stomach is soft, the temporomandibular joint is also relaxed. Make 12 rotations.
4. Exhaust your right leg as if you point your feet with your fingers on something on the floor right in front of you, make another 12 rotations. Changing the position, maintain relaxation of the muscles of the legs, back, abdomen.
5. Change your leg and make 12 rotations with your left foot out.
6. Change your leg again and make 12 rotations with your right foot inside.
7. Repeat this movement with the left foot.
8. Stand evenly, the feet are close, your hands cover the lower abdomen. Close your eyes and ask yourself how much you feel your stability right now on a scale from 1 to 10.

Repeat this exercise once a day, at any time of the day, and track how your physical grows – and therefore emotional – stability.
