There are 3 types of stress that knock the body out of homeostasis, or the body's way of maintaining stability and balance of its internal systems. When our bodies are in balance, all systems are orderly, functioning optimally, and using energy most efficiently. When we take care and get 2 out of 3 of these in order in a chronic condition (chronic dis-ease is an outcome of long term stress and exhaustion), more often than not, the third will follow and come back into balance as well.
Physical stress: traumas, injuries, accidents, falls, intense physical exertion
Chemical stress: hangovers, blood sugar levels, smoking, unhealthy foods, toxins,
Emotional stress: family tragedies, single parenting, finances, work pressure, relationships, mental load
Dr. Joe Dispenza says, "If there are 3 types of stress that knock the body out of balance, then we have 3 ways to create balance back in the body."
So if someone is physically out of balance and they work on improving their emotional state, through say watching an hour of comedy, and their chemical state by eating healthy foods and being mindful of their breath, they become more physically in balance (their neck pain subsides, their jaw tension eases up). If someone is emotionally out of balance and they start taking care of themselves physically (exercise, dance, yoga) and eating properly (nutrient dense whole foods) then their emotions come into balance... which then supports them to continue to make healthy physical and chemically balancing choices.
