Type 2 Diabetes

Stress is a major contributor to the problem. 

When we are stressed, we mobilise our stored glucose and fats into the bloodstream, exacerbating the problem of floating debris in the arterial channels and blocking them up.

Our stress hormones increase the insulin resistance of our cells and, the more this occurs, the more likely we are to cross the threshold into overtly diabetic status.

Managing type 2 diabetes ultimately means managing your stress levels.

It is possible to manage the condition with a better diet, but if we don’t manage our stress, then we are always going to be prone to the volatility created by increased insulin resistance. Plus we all know how easy it is to reach for the biscuit tin when we are stressed.

If we want an effective way of managing type 2 diabetes, the smartest and most efficient approach is to manage our stress. We will then find it much easier to watch what we eat.

Beeja meditation not only helps manage type 2 diabetes by making us feel less stressed and stay more balanced, but it also reduces all the symptoms of diabetes, and in some cases, has resulted in a complete recovery.

By working with your nervous system to combat stress with meditation, Beeja enables your mind and body to enter a resting state far deeper than in your deepest point of sleep - giving the systems which are unbalanced in your body a chance to realign. 

Our cells can function more naturally, and there is a reduction in our cravings for fatty, sugary foods. Studies show a decrease in the level of insulin resistance of people who do this practice.

Beeja meditation also reduces the number of free radicals in our system, and this is an important factor in lots of health conditions, most notably in diabetes. 

One testament to this is that back in the day, as well as suffering from insomnia, Will was also diagnosed as being pre-diabetic just before he learned to meditate. He was informed he had a year before he would have full-blown type 2 diabetes. After learning to meditate, the tell-tale pre-diabetic signs faded away and six years on Will is happily free of any signs of compromised health.
