DEAR LOUISE,

My doctors tell me that my high blood pressure is actually inherited from my family. Is this true and what do you recommend I do to lower it? Thank you.

Dear Richard,

High Blood pressure is not inherited as your doctors may tell you. Each person is unique! This condition is usually related to a feeling of having to do everything yourself. That people can not be counted on. Does this resonate with you?

Integrating the needs of the whole being, (body, mind and spirit) is the most successful path to living a life of wholeness and health. Traditional medicine can be of tremendous help especially when it is used in conjunction with any variety of alternative therapies that calls to the individual. Such therapies include acupuncture, yoga, reflexology, massage, etc.

Of course permanent healing requires the use and practice of new mental patterns. Often times we can do a variety of outside things to heal our bodies or to "fix" a particular problem. However, if the mental patterns that contributed to the creation of the problem in the first place are not recognized and altered, there is a high probability that the challenge will out-picture in the body again in one form or another.

I strongly recommend that you see a good nutritionist for a supervised body cleansing and to find the best diet and nutritional plan for your particular body. Nutrition plays a large role in the healing process. Over a period of time our systems get clogged with junk and can use a good cleansing. What we do and do not put in our bodies in the way of food and beverages has a lot to do with the ability our bodies cells have to regenerate themselves.

An affirmation for you to use is: LIFE IS SIMPLE AND EASY. I CREATE PEACEFULNESS IN MY MIND, AND MY BODY REFLECTS THIS PEACEFULNESS AS PERFECT HEALTH. AS THE TRUTH IS REVEALED I AM HEALED!
