Why do we have so many different  problems and why is is so hard to address them?

In prehistoric times life in may ways was simpler, our body used a Flight or Flight response to help keep us safe, quite simply if we turned a corner and a wild animal stood before us the Flight or Fight response was activated, we either Fought or we Ran, to do this our body pumped adrenalin at over 70 miles per hour through our body, diverted or shut down unused systems to enable us to deal with the presenting issue, once we have used up this adrenalin by taking the appropriate action, the massive dose of adrenalin was used up and our system returns to normal, relief and safety return.

We still have this natural Flight or Fight response, however our life style is not the same no longer wild animals to contend with or unfriendly tribes or unwanted suitors, instead we are bombarded with Stress from the work place, to meet targets or earn enough money to pay the bills or maintain a loving relationship and so much more, our body responds to these new stresses by activating the F & F response by pumping adrenalin throughout our system at the same 70miles per hour so we can either Fight or take Flight , but we can hardly kill the stressor or run from the work place or partner, especially if we want to keep our job or our relationship, so when we do not Fight or take Flight the massive dose of Adrenalin remains racing throughout our body, in a sense locking this and the stressful incident into our system, which we then relive again and again or add too.

I liken this to the Freeze which is when a wild animal is chased by a lion but is lucky enough to return to its herd unharmed, scientists have proven that the animal naturally releases this massive dose of adrenalin by shaking its body for five minutes, it then happily continues grazing with its herd and had been seen passing the same sleeping Lions that had just nearly killed it, proving that any trauma from the stressful event is released along with the adrenalin build up by the shaking of their body.

If only life was that simple for us humans. 

As an Energy Therapist I have found that we can find the core issue,event or stress trigger that is locked or frozen  in our energy system causing us to relive a trauma or stress and release it. so often the physical symptoms our body gives us is a message to say our energy system is holding onto some stress or another, if we do not listen and release it, our body gives us more messages, more pain until we do find the cause of our stress and unfreeze our body.
