Activating the Parasympathetic Wing of Your Nervous System

Published January 11, 2020 by tindertender

It’s amazing but true: there is actually a neurological system in your body that you can trigger at will to help yourself feel less stressed, more peaceful, and more happy.

It’s full-bore title is: “the parasympathetic wing of the autonomic nervous system” or PNS, for short.

In this article, you’ll get a crash course in your own nervous system and how the PNS fits into it, mixed with lots of ways you can use to activate your own PNS.

https://www.rickhanson.net/relaxed-content-part-one-activating-parasympathetic-wing-nervous-system/

In brief, here’s a simple, three-part method:

  • Breathe in such a way that your inhalation and exhalation are the same duration; for example, count 1-2-3-4 in your mind while inhaling and 1-2-3-4 while exhaling.
  • At the same time, imagine or sense that you’re breathing in and out through the area of your heart.
  • Meanwhile, bring to mind a heartfelt emotion like gratitude or love.

Try this for a minute or two, and you will probably be struck by the results. Technically, you are both increasing and harmonizing the natural, tiny changes in the interval between heart beats: what’s called “heartrate variability.” Fairly large changes in that interval, and changes that vary smoothly from one beat to the next, link to cardiovascular health, improved immune system function, and elevated mood. “Rick Hanson, PhD”

Nervous System

  • Central Nervous System (Our brain and spinal column)
  • Peripheral Nervous System (Everything else)
  • Somatic nervous system (How we move on purpose)
  • Autonomic nervous system (Things we do without thinking, like our heartbeat)
  • Sympathetic (‘fight or flight’)
  • Parasympathetic (rest and recovery)

How healthy we are depends on how well balanced our autonomic nervous system is.

Exercise and the parasympathetic nervous system

Tissues need oxygen to survive. Blood brings us oxygen. When we exercise, our muscles need 15 to 25 times more oxygen than when we’re at rest. The cardiorespiratory system makes sure our blood volume is adequate to do so.

When we work out, our SNS is activated, initiating key physiological changes.

  • We sweat to regulate our temperature.
  • Our heart beats faster to bring more oxygen to our muscles.

(The UC Davis SPorts Medicine Department advises using a heart rate monitor to gauge effort.)

  • We breathe faster to take in more oxygen. We might even pant.
  • Our liver releases glucose for energy.
  • Our blood pressure increases (more volume).
  • Our blood moves from our organs to our skeletal muscles.

(That’s why we don’t eat before we exercise. Exercise slows digestion. Eating makes your body choose between strength and speed or digestion. A good rule of thumb is to avoid small meals or snacks for an hour before exercise, and to wait 3 to 4 hours after a large meal.)

These changes make sure we are ready for action. But what happens when the SNS is overstimulated?

Here are 7 fixes to restore the balance between your SNS and PSNS.

  1. Reduce Stress

Stress is ubiquitous. Good health depends on removing or reducing whatever stressors we can control, and reduce our reactions to those we can’t

2. Meditation

We can’t remove all external stress. Meditation is the best way to decrease our reactivity to stress we can’t control. It teaches us to ignore triggers. It reduces our breathing, slows our heart, and decreases our blood pressure: all signs of PSNS activation. Meditations reduces lactic acid in our muscles, promoting recovery.

3. Massage

Regular massage has been shown to restore balance between SNS and PSNS. Massage makes us stronger, calmer, and more able to fight infection. By activating the PSNS, massage promotes recovery. It retrains the body to move more readily into PSNS even when we’re stressed.

4. Breathing

Breathing straddles the peripheral nervous system and the autonomic system. It happens automatically but we can also control it. We can hold our breathe for example, but we cannot stop our heart. Slowed breathing is a hallmark of PSNS. But it’s not just a symptom, it’s a signal. Slowing your breathing intentionally tells your SNS than things are okay. This activates the PSNS.

Daily breathing exercises will strengthen your lungs, improve your immune system, and decrease your resting heart rate. Here’s a simple way to activate your PSNS. Inhale for a count of 2. Hold that breathe for a count of 5. Exhale for a count of 7. Repeat.

5. Yoga

Like meditation, yoga will bring you into PSNS, It also bolsters your ability to decrease SNS activation when you are stressed.

Daily or weekly yoga classes, or even a quick yoga video at home, will improve your strength, flexibility and breathing.

6. Nutrition

Can what you eat affect your SNS/PSNS balance? Yes. Avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and sugar will facilitate PSNS. An anti-stress diet brings the right mix of protein, minerals and other nutrients to support PSNS.

7. Exercise

Yes, intense exercise, even the idea of it, stimulates our SNS. But regular aerobic exercisesuch as light jogging can actually decrease SNS activity and activate our PSNS. The key is moderation and measurement.

Unwelcome sympathy

Our sympathetic nervous system is key to our survival. But like the sympathy of a well-meaning friend, too much can be, well, too much. The more time we spend in PSNS, the healthier and stronger we’ll be. These 7 tips are a great start. “Ben Kochavy”

I Called Poison Control

Published January 10, 2020 by tindertender

“I gathered all vaccine ingredients into a list and contacted Poison Control. After intros and such, and asking to speak with someone tenured and knowledgeable, this is the gist of that conversation.

Me: My question to you is how are these ingredients categorized? As benign or poison? (I ran a few ingredients, formaldehyde, Tween 80, mercury, aluminum, phenoxyethanol, potassium phosphate, sodium phosphate, sorbitol, etc.)

He: Well, that’s quite a list… But I’d have to easily say that they’re all toxic to humans… Used in fertilizers… Pesticides… To stop the heart… To preserve a dead body… They’re registered with us in different categories, but pretty much poisons. Why?

Me: If I were deliberately to feed or inject my child with these ingredients often, as a schedule, obviously I’d put my daughter in harm’s way… But what would legally happen to me?

He: Odd question… But you’d likely be charged with criminal negligence… perhaps with intent to kill… and of course child abuse… Your child would be taken away from you… Do you know of someone’s who’s doing this to their child? This is criminal…

Me: An industry… These are the ingredients used in vaccines… With binding agents to make sure the body won’t flush these out… To keep the antibody levels up indefinitely…

He: WHAT?!

Your conclusion?

The man was beside himself. He asked if I would email him all this information. He wanted to share it with his adult kids who are parents. He was horrified and felt awful he didn’t know… his kids are vaccinated and they have health issues…”

✅INGREDIENTS TO VACCINES – You CANNOT make an educated decision without being educated.

Here are just SOME vaccine ingredients.
These are being INJECTED into your kids;

◾Formaldehyde/Formalin – Highly toxic systematic poison and carcinogen.

◾Betapropiolactone – Toxic chemical and carcinogen. May cause death/permanant injury after very short exposure to small quantities. Corrosive chemical.

◾Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide – May cause damage to the liver, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. May cause reproductive effects and birth defects.

◾Aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, and aluminum salts – Neurotoxin. Carries risk for long term brain inflammation/swelling, neurological disorders, autoimmune disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism. It penetrates the brain where it persists indefinitely.

◾Thimerosal (mercury) – Neurotoxin. Induces cellular damage, reduces oxidation-reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death. Linked to neurological disorders, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism.

◾Polysorbate 80 & 20 – Trespasses the Blood-Brain Barrier and carries with it aluminum, thimerosal, and viruses; allowing it to enter the brain.

◾Glutaraldehyde – Toxic chemical used as a disinfectant for heat sensitive medical equipment.

◾Fetal Bovine Serum – Harvested from bovine (cow) fetuses taken from pregnant cows before slaughter.

◾Human Diploid Fibroblast Cells – aborted fetal cells. Foreign DNA has the ability to interact with our own.

◾African Green Monkey Kidney Cells – Can carry the SV-40 cancer-causing virus that has already tainted about 30 million Americans.

◾Acetone – Can cause kidney, liver, and nerve damage.

◾E.Coli – Yes, you read that right.

◾DNA from porcine (pig) Circovirus type-1

◾Human embryonic lung cell cultures (from aborted fetuses)

✳You can view all of these ingredients on the CDCs website. I encourage everyone to do their own research. Look up the MSDS on these chemicals. Read the thousands of peer reviewed studies that have evaluated the biological consequences these chemicals can have on the body, especially when being injected.

What I find so disturbing and heinously gross, are these people, wearing masks so as not to get their ‘droplets’ on babies, yet they stick the child with mercury, aluminum and all the other ingredients in this post.

They do not care for the health of these children, any more than they care for ours.

The goal is to SHUT THE MINDS OFF of the incoming incarnates, so they cannot do the work they came to do!!!!! They are hindering the evolution to Love that we came to perform.

He Said I Was Beautiful

Published January 3, 2020 by tindertender

Every time I saw him he was sure to tell me with much admiration how beautiful I was. It was almost embarrassing how he would follow me with his gaze.

Today I wore three-quarter length sleeves.

My tattoos were showing.

Today he did not tell me how beautiful I was. In fact, he looked with disdain at my arms.

I mentioned this to an acquaintance. He said I was reading too much into it. That my senses could not be correct.

This is how we are taught to ignore our senses, our innate knowing of situations and circumstance. This is the training we receive from our average interaction, with average people.

Trusting our instinct, recognizing the varying responses we receive from others, being aware of the differences within the encounter … these energy transitions are more true than any words could be, yet …

We are told we must be wrong, paranoid, too sensitive.

The truth speaks for itself, regardless of spoken word.

Perceptions are often traditional.

Once he saw my tattoos, he seemed to view me as some sort of woman unworthy of his admiration.

One more “judge” to be avoided.

I spent 50 years without them. Now I am blessed with opportunity to see how people view me, with them.

This is the same reason I cut my hair short occasionally. It weeds out the “judges”, those who jump to the conclusion I must be gay.

This person doesn’t change, only the way she “appears”.

Funny … as in haha, yet it is also very sad to know people are locked in these mind sets.

Precious Woman

Published January 2, 2020 by tindertender

Written by Maria Palumbo, https://www.facebook.com/maria.palumbo.loves, https://mariapalumbo.com/

The women who struggle in relationships the most, the ones who have a hard time finding someone they can trust, are truly some of the most:

Brilliant

Creative

Loving souls.

Perfectly sensitive. Unendingly kind.

But they do not always see this.

They tell me they are broken. That no one will ever love them. Yet to know these women is to love them. They are easy to adore despite years of programming and dating advice telling them to be stronger:

“Just love yourself.”

“Don’t be clingy.”

“Don’t be needy.”

“Be mysterious.”

“Just be more: alluring, submissive, feminine, sweet, gentle, interesting.”

“You can make him into the man you want if you try harder.”

“Don’t whine.”

“Don’t be a pushover.”

And when I hear this, when she begins to tell me these stories that were pushed on her, I want to hold her face. Her hands. Her heart.

And ask her:

How can you be anything but precious?

Can you see these wounds as beautiful because they are yours?

I am offering not a ten step program of how to get a lover. But a loving witnessing. Holding a mirror to your heart so you can see more and adore what you see. Understand. Awaken. Nothing to change here. Only more tenderness.

And when it hurts. When the stories get louder, respond with more tenderness.

The Backfire Affect

It takes a LOT of effort to ‘free’ the mind of people who are devoted to the illusion

Published December 17, 2019 by tindertender

AKA, if your brain is hardwired to bring harm to others based on the assumption that this is a good thing (and you aren’t at war, and you haven’t been given permission by the Creator of those Souls, to bring them to the Light), then you are participating in an ancient form of Human ritual abuse theater called the “Deception”. It is designed to create a w’rolwynd of altered perceptions and synthetically distorted and realigned hormonal and thus consciousness ‘frame rate’, or ‘parameter set’ which literally sets the boundary functionality of society.

This is because the parameter set for our capacity to experience reality is set within the mental capacity of society itself. It’s either limited or accelerated as the mind is the dial to focus or the filter to alter or distort and reframe. We are either in delusion, or reality.

There is ONE REALITY. ONE TRUTH. If two sources are speaking in contradiction then someone is not telling the truth. If BOTH are lying, then the truth may be something neither is capable of communicating and in such, perceiving.

This could mean the framework for the interactions intended to enable the facilitation of such truthful communications may literally be impossible (up to this point in history).

In other words, if information is hidden from you, and you are set against one another with the premise of embattling in order to ‘find the most honesty’ in either, then you are ensured to:

A) Never find the truth.

B) Expend the available energy you have in meaningless discourse designed for that sole purpose.

This is why the truth is doing what it’s doing. It can’t be any other way as a result of the long term manipulation of human consciousness.

We experiencing the unveiling of the longest, most manipulative, most destructive, infiltration and enslavement of the Human race, by those who began before Humanity really even started.

As a result, people have been conditioned to consider the truth ‘after’ the illusion and this occurs in layers, as in, magnitudes of orders of inverse square reduction of emotional resistance and distortion to incoming clear communication and stimuli until there is no distortion.

Distortion is when people are capable of requesting the truth, in an area they think or have been led to believe they know or are ‘familiar with’ (as in family or life bond) and what they always believed turns out to be entirely false.

A piece of the mind tries to create the necessary empathic feeling of pain and self destruction, depressive neutransmitter release and negative feedback cycle of serotinergic interaction potentially showing destabilization of cycles that require weeks, months to chemically repair.

This is part of the synthesis of suffering that was designed, in the same way an outfit is made to fit a body. A mind cage can be designed to house the mind of a victim and predict and control all intended options for seeing outside that house, mind cage, or communicating with, others, or being able to rest and nurture one’s self properly. They can insert themselves and become the internal false gods of their victims and that is the basic concept of a mind slave. Each one is a mind slave.

So specifically, what one’s unique, natural mind, would see, conceive and internalize to produce the highest degree of impossible projected, internal, perceptual suffering that is rooted in the empathy of the mirror neurons and sympathetic consciousness interactions (automatically sharing feelings, which also must be controlled to be in self control) would be that which would specifically over load that individual’s capacity to feel the burden of mental and emotional stress.

That is the system that was mapped out and people with dark intentions would try to attempt to implement to knock the Human collective on it’s ass, make everyone suffer in turmoil back down into the dark ages and forget about all this while they wait to do it again.

I tell you because there are those out there with the capacity of love. Period.

Morning Movements

Published December 13, 2019 by tindertender

In my reflection I saw a beautiful cactus flower growing out the top of my head. There were thorns galore all around it and its petals were a delightful orchid color. (Stay off my crown y’all).

The Night and Twilight were the first lovers, ever.

I am the sea. Obviously there will be shifts in the levels of my depth.

Stop, look, listen to your heart.

To see the Polar “ends” of a thing is an exercise. Seeing it, balancing it, noticing that ALL things have polarity.

The gap seems to be lessening.

The thing that annoys me most is men (and women) who’s goal is to make people either part of the Offensive or Defensive position. I am perturbed even more when it works for a time.

Thank Creator and Father Time for the opportunity to absorb these lessens. To Be Here …

Merging of tones, creating harmony that soothes the mind.

Have you ever thought, “I must be the most complicated person in the world.” Imagine this thought in the minds of ALL you meet.

You are not alone.

Most of us have no way of seeing the emotional and energetic scars of others. The closest we can come is inwardly touching our own, remembering them, and then entertaining the possibility that these same scars may reside inside of others, to a greater or lesser degree.

If we consider our own suffering to be as anothers we might be more inclined to be gentle. Emotional wounds baffle the mind and blind the heart. It can inhibit the capacity to function normally … like drinking and driving … or drinking and some other not so smart thing.

It (the wound) needs to be brought forward into the light, so it can be reconciled, healed, and a new way birthed.

I see hopes and dreams … those that have been, and those yet to be. I see joy and peace. I see comfort and ease. I see that which I am grateful for, the wonders of being, and I surround myself with thought provoking potentials.

I turn off the floor lamp, and i light the morning candles. I stretch, I bend, my body warms. I look around, and am thankful for this day.
