Why Meridians? The most challenging thing about talk therapies is that we can reveal our patterns yet we continue to suffer. M.E.T. accesses the roots of our patterns by engaging our body’s wisdom. Meridians are templates where our emotional truths reside according to Oriental medicine. By integrating the energy of our thoughts and emotions through the meridians, Mind Ease is able to uncouple self limiting patterns from the energy that sustains them.

How Mind Ease works Our nervous system generates patterns to understand and adapt to the environment. In times of health, this process is fluid and informed by real time events. During experiences interpreted by the system as traumatic, however, fixations of fight, flight or freeze imprint the nervous system and inhibit adaptation.  The nervous system begins a looping pattern, repeating the traumatic experience; if untreated, the nervous system may permanently organize itself around the traumatic experience. Mind Ease repairs fixated reactions in the body’s nervous system. Mind Ease. locates these patterns in the nervous system using the principals of Oriental Medicine and Applied Kinesiology.  Once identified, Koryo Hand Acupressure and bilateral stimulation are introduced into the nervous system to reset and disrupt the fixated negative stress pattern reestablishing a natural state of well being.

What is Stress? Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger – whether it’s real or imagined – the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.

Effects of chronic stress: The body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response may be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
