Energy   (by Maureen Harmony, ND)

Some people are under the impression that it is not possible  to experience energy /vitality and relaxation at the same time as they are at different ends of the spectrum.   It is not possible for the body to deeply relax if it is concerned about the lack of sufficient energy, vitality and hydration to keep the body at a good operating level…… in other words, its main focus will be on overall survival and prevention of illness and it will not be able to give full attention to relaxation, which is vital to overall health and effective digestion of the food and liquids you put into your body…. which are necessary for energy….. energy is necessary for relaxation…… relaxation is necessary for digestion…… and the circle continues.  

You have heard of dis-ease.   This is the deep seated stress that you can experience as the body works out how to effectively use the inadequate/inappropriate foods and liquids you have just taken in, at the same time as it works at keeping all its parts happy and convincing some parts why they have to wait until the next meal or drink, at the same time as working on coping with day to day situations, solving challenges, enjoying relationships, etc., etc.    This dis-ease will deplete your nerve ‘battery’ and you may experience nerve tiredness/exhaustion without having undertaken much physical activity.

If this concept is difficult to grasp, I could use a motor vehicle as an example.    If your car’s fuel tank is close to empty you do not think of going on a long journey without putting more fuel in.  If your car’s fuel tank is on empty your car is unable to go anywhere.   It doesn’t switch to a reserve tank by itself, it just doesn’t move.    Your body needs different amounts of fuel and water to undertake the different tasks you give it during the day.   Without sufficient fuel it will stress, which will not enable you to relax and enjoy fully whatever it is you are doing.

If you are experiencing low energy then it would be beneficial to look at the types of foods you are eating, whether you are drinking sufficient water, and to consider taking an energy supplement, such as Spirulina or CoQ10.

If you are experiencing unwanted tension then you may benefit from the use of aromatherapy or herbal supplements to relax and support the nervous system.
