Heart rate variability
A healthy heart changes its rhythm very slightly with each beat. This constant variation is known as Heart Rate Variability. Your HRV is a reflection of your autonomic nervous system and reveals lots of information about your physical and mental health.
Your brain and body are inseparable. Every change in the emotional state is accompanied by an appropriate (positive or negative) change in the physiological state. In other words, if we feel good mentally and emotionally we are also more likely to feel good physically, and for good reason. When we are in a positive place our bodies release healing, healthy hormones and neurotransmitters that repair and replenish us. When we are in a negative or stressed space, our bodies release chemicals that break us down physically and mentally.
It is also true that every change in the physiological state is accompanied by an appropriate change in our emotional state whether this be conscious or unconscious.
Finding balance can be challenging if we’re not aware of how much drain our emotions are putting on our nervous system and physical bodies. Most of us have developed some pretty amazing coping strategies in our personalities that help us get by, until they just don’t work anymore. This is when our bodies may try to tell us that something isn’t right through the symptoms commonly associated with stress such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, chronic pain, high blood pressure, headaches, GI problems and bladder problems.
Of course, we can treat any of these ailments where the emotional stress is manifesting in the body with medications for symptomatic relief. But what if we went back to the source of the problem and addressed what was causing the health issue in the first place?
