Inflammation Means Heat Build-Up

We can energetically prepare our bodies to be better able to do what we want them to do. It's a given...summer is a season full of activity. Gardening (my love!), hiking, bicycling, lots of projects to get done. So, do the Daily Clean Your House Flow. And, during your activity, take an occasional break and do a couple of the steps. It will "remind" your body to stay in balance, to not create the blocks of energy.

And, if we end up having aches and pains......

Whether we're aching from over-doing or from actual injury or from chronic conditions (arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, etc.), the body is reacting to inflammation. Actually, a little inflammation can be good for your body...it can help it heal because it is bringing increased blood flow to the specific area. But when there is constant inflammation, the tissues are not able to repair themselves.

Where there's heat, there is also an accumulation of toxin. It is important to cool the area down and at the same time, release the toxin. Apply ice packs for short periods of time (10 minutes). Consider a homeopathic anti-inflammatory. And...do some self-help energy "flows".

Here are several easy to do self-help movements that will cool down the body and decrease the inflammation!
* Hold the left hand over the affected area and hold the right hand directly on top of the left.
* With one hand, hold the affected area and with the other hand, hold the outside of the knee.

Be patient....when the body is experiencing trauma (accumulation of blocked energy), it might take a few minutes to feel a difference.
