Anger Is A Survival Level Defense Mechanism<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Anger is part of a seemingly miraculous and exceedingly complex system that has allowed humans to survive for thousands of years. \u00a0Since anger is a survival level defense mechanism, it creates powerful and extensive physical changes in our bodies, each time we experience anger.\u00a0 This is true even if we are not consciously aware that we are angry.\u00a0 The anger response is a survival level response which triggers our bodies to prepare for escape, or battle.\u00a0 This means that specific chemicals and hormones are released into our blood, the blood flow changes throughout the body and a specialized portion of our nervous system is engaged to ensure that the major muscle groups have more oxygen and are ready for serious physical exertion.\u00a0 During the time that the body is experiencing the anger response, it is not able to relax, or heal, or rejuvenate.\u00a0 This is just the biological truth of the way the human body operates.<\/p>\n

The partner to the anger response is the \u201cRelaxation Response\u201d.\u00a0 This is the pattern of \u201cshutting-down\u201d that happens once the physical threat has passed.\u00a0 During the relaxation response, the body shifts the blood flow and engages an entirely different set of neurological and hormonal processes which are designed to help the body recuperate and restore its normal functioning.\u00a0 This may involve sleep or it may simply involve relaxation but it includes a period of calm and rest from the intense physical activity that was needed to escape or fight for survival.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to remember that the only health reason for anger is to protect a person from serious physical harm or death. \u00a0Any time you experience anger and your physical survival is not being threatened, you are needlessly putting your body into a position in which it cannot fight infection, recuperate from stress, disease or physical injury, or eliminate toxins that have been introduced into your system. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly the nature of our thought process and the culture we have created puts most of us in the position where we are frequently angry, either consciously or sub-consciously.\u00a0 The result is that we have come to accept frequent anger and frustration as part of our daily lives.\u00a0 This is literally killing us!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health, and stop interfering with your body\u2019s ability to heal itself and fight disease, is to monitor your feelings of anger and frustration and find a way to change them to feelings of gratitude and acceptance.\u00a0 Some of us are so stuck in the pattern of anger and frustration that we will not be able to simply stop. \u00a0If your physical-emotional response pattern is too strong to respond to your logic, try using a technique like The Emotional Freedom Technique, (EFT).\u00a0 This is a simple and effective way to give yourself an acupressure treatment for your emotions.\u00a0 The manual is available free on the internet at www.emofree.com<\/a>.\u00a0 It is simple, powerful and effective!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Let go of your anger and frustration and give your body permission to heal itself and restore your health!<\/p>\n
