When someone changes these familiar physical influences, for example by switching from standing work to seated work or stopping sport, not only the body but also the nervous system reacts and experiences it as stress.
Another important influence on the body concerns how someone habitually releases tension: these are outlets characteristic of each individual. Changing patterns ingrained over many years also generates additional tension.
Work is another important source of tension. We should choose our workplace carefully because we spend much of our day with our colleagues. It is no coincidence that women who work together even find their menstrual cycles synchronising after a while. We therefore need to be aware that our work environment and conflicts with colleagues or superiors can also create blockages. Suppressed, unspoken feelings and problems in a workplace also affect the people working there, because the subconscious “receives” the impulses.
Useful advice for the workplace:
- If you do sedentary work, for example sitting at a computer for eight hours, you should know that this compresses the large blood vessels and muscles in your buttocks and thighs, which is very harmful. So make sure you stand up at least once an hour and move your body for a few minutes!
- It is no coincidence that many places, such as Japan, already make workplace exercise compulsory. Elsewhere, such as Germany, it is perfectly normal for an office to have a rest room, because employers know that performance increases significantly after a short rest. Whenever possible, take short breaks while working!
Crises in our private lives leave even deeper marks on our bodies. For example, if a woman’s husband is unfaithful, whether she already knows it or not, I notice it during treatment because her body signals it to me and I find the blockages in the relevant places. We need to learn how to manage stress and tension, and the most important part is learning to let go. Observe your own life: truly big problems resolve themselves; when one door closes, another opens, and every ending is the beginning of something new.
That is why we should not cling to empty relationships, bad jobs or destructive situations. Of course, when we are deeply involved in a particular situation, letting go is painful. Later, when we gain perspective on that period, it becomes clear that it was for the best.
