I want to talk about body stress now

right now you’re sitting there and you

have body stress as well it might be in

the your upper back it could be in your

neck it could be in the back of your

skull could be over your chest it could

be in your stomach it could be in your

lower back or your feet so body stress

is a form of tension or tightness that

accumulates from many different

stressors over time so it could be from

injury it could be from surgery ankle

sprains falling on your knee falling on

your tailbone getting hit in the head

with something whiplash injuries you

name it I mean I remember as a child I

want I was very curious about things so

I wanted to see I had a BB gun and I

wanted to see what would feel like

actually to shoot my toe don’t ask me

why I wanted to do that but that was a

big mistake actually I wanted to shoot

my toe and see if I could pull my foot

away from the little B be coming out in

time and obviously you know what

happened I shot my toe and it really

really hurt so that was an injury

created some tension of course it was

through my shoe so it didn’t really

create any damage but it did hurt so

there’s many crazy things that people do

as kids that end up hurting themselves I

remember going down the street no hands

I hit a mailbox flipped upside down it’s

amazing that I’m still alive I’ve been

off motorcycles off cliffs hitting trees

wrap myself around poles telephone poles

all these things I had wrestling

injuries fracturing a lot of different

bones including my neck shoulder and leg

so that would be example of stressors

and then you have surgery removing of

your thyroid your appendix your tonsils

that would be a stress of the body and

infection sore throats viruses sinus

that would be a stress you also a

physical stress of going through your

menstrual cycle every single month and

having that experience you also have the

emotional stress of any

losses the stress of being married

having kids having upsets family

stresses you have chemical stresses

drinking alcohol is a chemical stress

eating a lot of junk food is a chemical

stress over a period of time you know

creating trauma on the pancreas and the

adrenal on the liver so you have that

stress and you have exercise maybe over

exercising now exercise can reduce

stress if it’s low intensity and so I’ll

come back to that in another video but

these are stressors that cause body

stress which is an inappropriate body

reaction if it’s chronic in other words

when things stay there too long and

become chronic that would be an

inappropriate body reaction because

you’re supposed to your body’s supposed

to adapting remove the tension after

long after the injury but really what

happens if this is present time and this

is your past your body parts of your

body is are still reacting to these

older injuries and traumas and

situations so that’s pretty much how it

works and then as you get older this

tension builds up and you’ll see people

their posture becomes over like this

they become really tight they have a lot

of stiffness and tension so body stress

is inappropriate body reaction it’s

basically certain muscles and tissues

that are in contracted state and they

will not relax or turn off okay so at a

very small microscopic level body stress

is the inability for a certain part of

your body to turn off let’s take a look

at when you go to sleep at night if you

lay there and you just are aware of your

body you might find your head won’t turn

off your mind won’t turn off you feel

restlessness in your legs tension the

chest tension your back that tension

prevents you from sleeping it prevents

you from rejuvenating it prevents you

from recovering and guess what that’s

going to prevent you from losing weight

because fat burning must occur in the

recovery phase or the rest period when

sleeping not during stress okay so

that’s the relationship between body

tension because it activates a hormone

called cortisol cortisol is a stress

hormone by the adrenal gland and that

hormone has the capacity of producing

fat around the organs internally deep

inside around your intestines that would

be called visceral fat deep abdominal

visceral fat that your body is trying to

protect the vital organs by holding fat

around the gut but body tension is

another protective mechanism because if

you stub your toe and the toe starts to

develop like scar tissue body stress is

going to create that tension is going to

protect it by stopping the motion so

your toe doesn’t move like it should or

your back or your joints don’t move like

they should so body stress actually

stops motion in the body so we have a

contracted state we have a lack of

motion in the body so it’s really a loss

of communication in that body part that

creates this random tightness because

when you injure yourself or traumatize

you lose communication and when you lose

communication into a body part let’s say

say your pancreas then the pancreas does

what it wants to do and it can produce a

lot of insulin or and then it’s stuck

it’s burnt out or let’s say you have a

toe that’s damaged in and you lose

feeling and circulation and limb fell

and communication becomes numb so old

injuries stop motion and create tension

and create a situation where you have a

lack of healing in that body part so the

body stresses tension or tightness and

it gets it stuck in the body it

accumulates and there’s several things

that we do to remove or diminish body

stress number one we want the person to

sleep we have to fix the person sleep

because that’s where they recover that’s

where they heal that’s where they

recharge and in order to sometimes sleep

you have to remove the body stress but

then body stress does improve with

sleeping so we use

accupressure to remove body stress is

our main tool so acupressure is a unique

technique and I developed it so it’s not

traditional it’s not like working on the

muscles generally it’s a specialized

technique that I found that works on the

turn off mechanism and the turn on

mechanism so you have this muscle that’s

not turning off it’s stuck on so this

technique turns that body part off so

you you actually release the tension and

you elongate the muscles and you relax

the body so that’s what we get a big

history of all the things that ever

happened to you

injuries surgeries infections etc etc

and then we apply the technique to all

those body parts in the location where

you traumatize yourself extracting we’re

not really extracting stress we’re

basically getting the body to turn off

and relax in those areas because really

this body stress is a reaction to the

stress it’s not something stress is not

something you can bottle it’s just your

body is stuck on and so we have to turn

it off and when you use acupressure and

put the person into a really good

relaxed state now they can sleep now

they have motion now they have nerve

circulation blood flow they have more

communication and now the how better

recovery and with recovery comes more

better metabolism and more weight loss

so that’s kind of how it works good

nutrition is also important in reducing

body stress especially certain minerals

like calcium and potassium and then of

course exercise walking is really good

to reduce body stress it might be

temporary but it’s still a valid therapy

so we have sleeping exercising

acupressure we have nutrition and

changing of environments sometimes if

you’re in a job that’s very very

stressful you need to get another job

change your environment if you’re in a

marriage that’s stressful you have to

change that situation so you just by

going on a vacation your change of

environment is very good for body stress

and people sleep from that so I just

wanted to kind of create a little video

on

what body stress really is and the tools

to extract this from the body by

basically working and turning the body

off and reducing tension
