As humans move through their day, most of them experience some sort of stress. Maybe the person is running late or stuck in traffic. Maybe their boss is challenging to work with or their kids are not cooperating. Or Maybe they are holding on to emotions from traumatic experiences of the past. Whatever the story, many people experience feeling out of rhythm or not in the flow of life.

When we are out of tune or in a state of stress or anger, studies have shown that physical symptoms can be created in our bodies. For example, when a person is in a constant state of stress, their body is in “fight or flight” mode which tells the brain, to tell the adrenals to release cortisol into the body. It is normal for this response to be activated occasionally. However, most people do not allow their bodies to return to normal levels after stressful events. When this happens, the person may experience adrenal fatigue and other health issues because the system is not in balance. The pattern of fatigue continues because the person does not make time to rest and allow the body to reset.
