Defense Physiology-Why do I need to Know?

Why is it so important to know about the defense physiology?

The defense physiology takes up a lot of your energy; it takes 60 to 80% or even more of your energy to hold yourself in the defense physiology.  The defense physiology is brought about by the primal brain.

There are three parts to the brain, the frontal lobe, the limbic brain and the reptilian brain, which I refer to as the primal brain.

The frontal lobe is where we process our conscious thought and where we have the ability to make decisions.  This is what sets us apart from animals, they do not have a frontal lobe, and they do not have the ability to make a conscious choice.

The limbic brain is where our emotions are and also is concerned with the functions of the body.

The primal brain works in order of priorities of the body, in other words the heart would keep beating before the function of the leg.

The top four priorities of the brain are first of all survival, then feeding, reproduction of cells and the ongoing of the species and the fourth being the auto immune system.

The first priority of survival is flight, fight, fear and faint or freeze.

So the primal brain only knows now, everything that has happened in the past or it thinks it will happen in the future is happening right now.  If there is a fear it will put this as the top priority and put the body in a defense physiology therefore this programming is always there until there is release of that programming.  With that release it enables the body to use the energy in other priorities of the body.

When the body is consistently out of the defense physiology you will hardly if ever get sick, since the body has all of the available energy to use for the other functions in the body.

I will be talking in later posts about how to release the programming that is holding the body in defense physiology.

Being Aware of My Breath

Breath is Life

If I am reading this I am consciously breathing in and out. Each breath is for the moment in and to itself. With each breath you take you inhale more vitality, more life, and more intelligence.

As people get older they breath less. Clue: Breath more, Live longer. Many people are just not aware of their own breath. Now if you don’t think it is important just stop for a while and you will see.

Breath,

Darren

PS: I will be posting later some communication techniques with your body that you can use to breath better.

Who Am I and Where Am I Irresponsible.

“Freedom comes from being responsible for everything in my life.”~Darren

Ok everyone, I am back!  My trip to Africa was amazing. I will be posting some pictures on facebook when i get some time so you can check out all the cool sites, smells, and sounds of my trip.

Well, this post today is about 2 things.  They are great exercises and tools you can use for yourself.

I am list…

Create a list of I am_________statements. You finish it.  Write out 50 of them and more if you want to go even deeper.

There is a second step but if I am not going to tell you just yet because you will get more out of it if you do them in order. Leave you comments when you have finished your list.

It would be fun to have a telecall where out of us could get together on together for 30 minutes to talk about our lists.

Irresponsible list…

Tough and revealing, it can be alot of fun to do. Find those areas in your life where you are being irresponsible. Write as many places that you are being irresponsible.

Pick one and choose to be responsible in it.

Here is a simple example in my life.  I like to drink soft drinks, root beer is my favorite. I am being irresponsible first of all by drinking the sugar, second I am supporting a system/company that is perpetuating a cause that I do not believe in.

Irresponsibility is one of the only things standing you your way of having what you want.
