Have you ever noticed those famous “butterflies in you stomach” when you’re stressed or worried about something? This is not your imagination. Your digestive system and nervous system are constantly communicating with one another.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has long recognized this connection. Excessive worry is believed to disrupt the flow of energy through the Spleen and Stomach meridians, which contributes to symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, poor appetite, cravings, loose stools, or a feeling of heaviness.
Stress and worry shift the body into a state where digestion becomes very difficult because there’s not enough energy and resources in the body to function properly.
Which is why digestive issues are so common today. We are all constantly stressed dealing with uncertainty, information overload, and endless mental chatter.
A question to consider this week:
Can you try to spend less time worrying and more time trusting your ability to handle whatever comes next?
I personally block most of the world affairs out of my life. In my mind, “ignorance can be bliss.” Just see what a week of “no news” can do for your digestion. Well, no news and your frequencies, which will continue to focus on nourishing and balancing Stomach energy.
