Such positive insight. I've been guiding my husband along these same lines also as he has SVT (where his heart rate will just take off) - he also monitors his BP daily. Before his last doctor appointment, which his BP is usually quite high in the office, he meditated before leaving for the check up, and his BP was much better. I do believe there is something to incorporating meditation, and I love how you spoke to your heart in such a gentle way too. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Kara so often we seem to be aware of our self as just a mind. For many years I’ve found using the breathing techniques taught to me in 1980 during anti natal classes ànd then entering à mediative state does very well to help with dentist and dr. The sight of the BP machine always elevates my anxiety until I catch my self and breathe. I like this talking to our hearts ♥️ ànd other organs I will give this space in my life today. 🙏 à good full moon now to expand and explore 🌝 then release. Blessings to you from my hearth to yours ⚓️🌀🥰
I, too, have a family history of high blood pressure, and I take blood pressure medicine not only to address the numbers of my heart, but also to protect my kidneys and the long-term impacts of CKD. I also have thyroid concerns. What I learned from your story is that while I frequently meditate to help calm my mind, maybe I need to spend some time talking to my heart, my kidneys, and other organs to see what they may say. Thank you for sharing, and I look forward to your June retreat!

Barb, I loved reading all of this! It’s wonderful to gather more evidence. All the best to your husband (and you).
