How to Never Get Adrenaline Again How to Never Get Adrenaline for Roller Coasters

Adrenaline and Dopamine — this is a critical rest in Parkinson's recovery, so I am revisiting it…again. Part of Parkinson'southward is that we accept been in Adrenaline Mode for so long, our organs and systems, including our Dopamine, have ceased to function in the normal way they used to function, and that is why we have tremors and all of the concrete problems of Parkinson'due south. Finding balance between our Adrenaline and Dopamine leads to Parkinson's recovery!

I have written about the Adrenaline and Dopamine relationship in the by. Here is a brief summary:

Adrenaline — you are walking through the jungle and a lion jumps out and starts chasing y'all. When your survival mode Adrenaline kicks in and you outset running, other things are required of your body. Your stomach gets the bulletin from the brain that says, "eating is of pocket-sized importance correct now and so do not ship me hunger pangs." The bladder and the large intestine get the bulletin from the brain that says, "no time to evacuate, so I demand yous to shut down temporarily." The body gets the message from the brain that says, "you are being pushed to your physical limits, but I do non want to hear about your pain — shut it off." The heart gets the message from the brain that says, "no fourth dimension for joyful emotions, and then practise not release Dopamine, just shop it for later."

Adrenaline Manner — your mind keeps running well subsequently the king of beasts has stopped chasing you…and fearfulness is what keeps your listen running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running, and running. I know, just reading this probably increases your tremors. I needed to make my indicate.

What I am describing here is me. This is the me whose tremors were and then severe I could no longer ignore all of the physical changes and limitations that I had been ignoring for the previous year (probably should say "years"). In my Parkinson's recovery, I learned that my brain was hard-wired to fright. As soon equally a situation occurred, my brain's reflex activity was to spring on the fear train and put it in total throttle.

Fearfulness of what? Everything! Fearfulness of: "Maybe I won't be prepared for ______;" "Maybe I won't know the answer to ______;" "Maybe I am non good enough for ______;" Maybe _____ (bad thing) will happen." I think you know what I am talking nigh, and it is a long list. It is the list of things that could happen that we feel compelled to have all of the possible scenarios to then we volition be prepared for everything that could possibly happen for the residue of our lives so that zero will go incorrect or bad and everything can happen co-ordinate to plan. Fear of what? Life!

Think about information technology: If you lot are afraid of roller coasters, you lot don't keep them. If you are afraid of scary movies, you don't go to them. If you are agape of the night, you sleep with the lights on. When yous are afraid of life, your options are limited. I could come up up with two options only: 1. Continue to live in fearfulness. 2. Face the fright and get beyond it. I knew that continuing to alive in fearfulness meant I would not exist recovering from Parkinson's, and so number 1 got scratched from the list. That left number two. Face the fear and get beyond it. I had no choice.

I was not well-equipped to fight the fear. Fear was my natural reflex. I needed help, and here is how I got it.
(excerpted from my Feb 28, 2011 mail service, "Fighting Parkinson's, and prayer."):

"At one point, a friend pointed out that fear and negative thoughts are a constant boxing with the disease. Although I had a very positive attitude that some mean solar day I would recover, fighting the disease mentally and spiritual was a daily state of war. My friend pointed out that God was in a much amend position to handle my fears and negative thoughts and that I needed to give them away then I could stay focused on my recovery.

I meditated on this and adopted the following prayer for when I felt negative thoughts or fears coming into the forefront of my thoughts: "Dear God, I accept this fright and I do not have time for it to bring me downward. I need to stay focused on positive thoughts. You are in a much better position than me to deal with negative thoughts and fears, then I am giving you this negative thought and fright and thank you for taking care of information technology for me." The commencement day I did this, it must have been 100 times I repeated this phrase. After four or five days, the negative thoughts and fears diminished, and then they went abroad."

And, also excerpted from the aforementioned mail service, I mediated similar this:

"Hello Adrenaline. Thank you for all of the years yous take run my body. Without you in charge, I would not have survived. Even so, all of life'due south stresses that required y'all do be in accuse are gone, and yous can take a interruption and y'all practise not need to run my whole trunk anymore. Hello Dopamine. Information technology has been a long time. Thanks for all of those years y'all stayed closed and allowed Adrenaline to run my torso. I appreciate that you understood it was for survival. At present that those stresses are gone, I need you to menses again. The matter is, I do not know how much Adrenaline needs to shut down and how much Dopamine needs to flow to achieve the correct mix. The two of y'all need to figure this out with God, and I am going to meditate on something else so I do not get in the way."

The Qigong healed my body. The meditations healed my listen. Connecting my Inner Divine to the College Power Divine healed my soul, opened my heart, and allowed my Dopamine to catamenia. In the Peaceful Warrior, Socrates tells Dan, "I call myself a Peaceful Warrior…considering the battles nosotros fight are on the inside."

He is correct. Although Parkinson's symptoms manifest themselves on the outside, the battle we must fight is on the inside — healing our souls and our minds and our bodies. I know I was a mess on the inside before Parkinson's reared its ugly head on the outside with diagnosable symptoms. I knew I had to heal myself on the inside to make those symptoms on the exterior get abroad. And, I knew I would be unable to accomplish this if fear continued to drive the train, then I worked hard to slay that demon, and I did…and information technology never has come back.

That'southward one of the most delightful parts of recovery. No fright of living. You tin practice this. I know you lot can!

Yous are worth information technology!

All my best,

Howard
