But Can You Love Your Adrenal Glands? Carson City, Nevada: July 18, 2017

I suppose its no surprise I've come home from three years of touring with adrenal mischief. The combination of what my holistic doctor told me and starting to teach yoga again resulted in make me an adrenal geek.

The adrenals are a pair and are located on top and a little medial to our kidneys. The right gland is smaller than the left.  The adrenals are responsible for our stress response.

Well our thoughts are responsible for our stress response but when thoughts have gone unchecked, it results in adrenals working overtime, whereby they are only designed for short bouts.

Sounds like me on a rock and roll tour.

I opened our five day series  "At Home In Your Own Heart" by aligning with  wonder and awe because when you're in a state of wonder , it relieves the stress when things don't go "your" way, and from thinking  you know everything about everything. It seems like a good first step.

The sages say that seeing clearly is the salve to all our pain. So I've started breathing into my adrenals to check the  theory. Along the way I've discovered the adrenals sit between the kidneys and the diaphram which is yet another reason to breath deep into the diaphram.

Iyengar is rumored to have said, if  you can't concentrate on your big toe, how can you concentrate on God. I think he'd say the same thing about the awesome adrenals.

Supported bridge is one salve for overworked adrenals. I'll add that into my home practice and into our class tomorrow night.

Its all connected.

Namaste
