Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have been experiencing a high level of anxiety over the past few months. Over that time I have noticed periods when my left leg (and sometime my right) will vibrate internally. I told my Dr. and he feels it is stress related. I tend to agree because if I calm my mind and take deep breaths, I can make it stop. I am so anxiety ridden that I am awaken from my sleep by it. I really hate the idea of a Psychiatrist, because I fear meds. What will help me Calm my body and mind? any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi there, Energy psychology approaches are a great way to calm your mind and body, as well as deal with pervasive anxiety. In some cases – as when a trauma has happened or is being remembered – it is best to let the body shake. The natural physiological response during a time of trauma is shaking, and sometimes people experience this with flashbacks or similar experiences, and if the shaking is suppressed the trauma just gets locked in further, rather than released. However, if it’s not related to trauma or if it persists, you can use energy work to rapidly yet gently dissolve the anxiety and bring yourself to a greater place of relaxation. Of course if it is trauma related, you can use energy work to do that too J Zensight Energy Work FREE Energy Work Ebook & Ecourse www.ZensightProcess.com I have been experiencing a high level of anxiety over the past few months.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi Deborah, To relieve anxiety, it is necessary to calm down the function of the sympathetic nervous system with sympatholytic agents and to increase the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system with parasympathomemtic agents. Two of the very best herbs for calming anxiety and panic attacks are kava kava and lobelia. Taking B-complex vitamins, particularly B-6 is beneficial. Avoid caffeine and other stimulants and eliminate refined sugar.

I really hate the idea of a Psychiatrist, because I fear meds. What will help me Calm my body and mind? any ideas?> Lots of ideas! Where do we start? Body/mind/emotions/spirit are a continuous feedback loop. Listen to "ZenSight" Carol, she's great. Try EFT on EVERYTHING! There is no contradiction between using an energy medicine approach AND nutrition. How well-nourished is your nervous system? Are you getting enough of the calming minerals, calcium and magnesium? Trace minerals? B vitamins? Also: The symptoms you describe could well be linked to adrenal exhaustion. Trembling legs and anxiety are frequently experienced by people suffering from Parkinson's, because they are symptoms of adrenal exhaustion. I am not suggesting you have PD, just explaining the reasoning behind the adrenal exhaustion idea. Follow me into a little puzzle here: I am part of the support system of a young woman with Parkinson's Disease who is using the protocol described at http://pdrecovery.org According to this theory, PD originates with an unhealed injury to the foot, that in turn disrupts the body's energy system, and that results in a person shutting down the Dopamine-based "rest and repair" system. Instead the person is driven by the Adrenalin-based "Fight or Flight" system. The Dopamine producing cells of the brain are not dead, just dormant. Clinical symptoms finally occur once the Adrenal system burns out, years later. The condition can be reversed. I am not a doctor, and cannot give medical advice etc. But it can't hurt to provide your magical, self-healing body with the raw materials it needs to do the job. You might want to look into supplements that nourish your glandular system. So-called Adaptogens help us to do exactly that: they nourish our glands, so the glands are up to the job of helping us to adapt and cope. Plant-based gland foods do not try to by-pass the delicate feedback system of the body/mind. Can you see how that is different from trying to mess with hormones directly? From my Amazon wild-foods pantry, Sumacazon, Warrior, and Calmazon or Kavazon come to mind. Sumacazon is a whole-body glandular tonic. It is also a superb source of amino acids, trace minerals and B vitamins. Warrior is more targeted to the adrenal system. Interestingly, I have seen it act as a calming influence on my ADD son. Weak adrenal functioning can also be a factor in ADD. But that is another topic. Calmazon and Kavazon both help to sooth and calm an anxious churning mind that can't seem to shut itself up.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hello, Have you tried essential oils. There is one that comes to mind it is called Peace & Calming, works GREAT. If your Dr feels this is stress related then this oil would help you. You inhale it, difuse it. For more information please e-mail me privately @ lbbus Getting Better & Better LynnetteIeneke van Houten <ienvan Sent: Wed, 10 May 2006 11:17:41 -0700Re: Vibrating in my leg(s) <I have been experiencing a high level of anxiety over the past few months.
