Autoimmune Disorders

When we’re stressed, our innate immune system becomes activated, which causes a panicked ‘action stations’ response. We produce surplus immune cells, and inflammatory cells are put on red alert for deployment to any affected area (or perceived affected area).

When our immune system is chronically activated under the stress response, it seems a maladaptive pattern develops whereby the immune system starts to target normal body cells as dangerous invaders and subsequently attack.

Often, the treatment of choice is to pump us full of steroids that suppress the immune system. This can reduce symptoms, but also creates a weakened immune system and makes us more vulnerable to getting ill in other ways. w

Steroids also carry the risk of serious side effects, such as ageing the hippocampal area of the brain and impairing our memory.

Meditation works at the causes of the issue, and is a natural way of building your immune system.

Firstly, Beeja meditation will help you manage the stress response so that your immune system becomes less hyperactive, and therefore symptoms alleviate.

Secondly, the powerful restorative effects of Beeja meditation bring harmony to all the systems of the mind, body, and nervous system, allowing your body the chance to reset and rebuilding your immune system back up.

It allows the immune cells to take a more discerning view of potential pathogens. During meditation our levels of rest are so deep that our brain is able to rewire itself to provide more balanced and adaptive responsiveness.
