Exercises with mixed and cardiac type of VSD
Cardiological dystonia does not mean that there is organic damage to the heart muscle. It indicates a current failure in the central nervous system. This condition is not considered dangerous. But over time and without appropriate treatment can cause a number of pathological complications. Cardiac type dystonia is manifested by symptoms indicating a violation of the functioning of blood vessels and the heart.
A condition in which pressure often changes from high values to low numbers and vice versa is called mixed-mode IRR.
Yoga with these two pathologies can significantly alleviate symptoms, and eventually cure ailments. The exercises used here are the same as for hypotension and hypertension, with the only difference being that they need to be alternated. That is, one lesson should include an equal number of poses from both complexes.
Affirmations at VVD
The treatment of pathology is influenced not only by physical effects. An important role is played by the psychological attitude. Affirmations are special phrases that, when pronounced repeatedly, create the effect of self-hypnosis, in which the brain is freed from negative attitudes and replaces them with positive ones. Negative sensations cause a feeling of anxiety, fear, cause stress. Constant anxiety leads to the pathological state of the body at different levels. Speaking these phrases, a person makes the brain distract and focus on good thoughts.
The combination of yoga exercises and affirmations from the IRR is a very effective practice. To work with phrases correctly, you need to write them down and pronounce them systematically using verbs in the present tense:
- I am protected and safe.
- I feel peaceful and calm.
- Everything is fine in my life.
- I am not afraid and confident.
- I can solve any problem.
- My mind is filled with positive.
- Every deep breath relaxes me.
The systematic and conscious pronunciation of these and similar phrases leads to their effective impact on the psyche, helps to control thoughts.
