Fight or Flight mode

When a harmful event or an attack happens to you, we have a natural fight or flight response. This is a physiological reaction, it is an ancient survival system, that we are programmed with for keeping alive and safe, especially in years gone by. Now, however it doesn't always work in our favour. When we experience a traumatic event we can get stuck in this flight or fight response sometimes all our lives. We find it difficult to get through, whereas animals naturally reset it and can calm everything down.

Symptoms of being in flight or fight mode -

Urge to run and get away

Feelings of restlessness, being nervous and have anxiety

having tunnel vision

dry mouth

dilated pupils

increased heart rate

sweating

rapid breathing

tense muscles

when your life force energy is out of balance

Shamanic healing can help you 

 

Another quote by Albert

 

'A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'universe'

a part limited in time and space.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest,

a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us,

restricting us to our personal desires and to affection to a few persons nearest to us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison

by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures

and the whole of nature in its beauty'

Albert Einstein
