Homeostasis (homeostasis)

 [ho″me-o-sta´sis]

the tendency of biological systems to maintain relatively constant conditions in the internal environment whilecontinuously interacting with and adjusting to changes originating within or outside the system. See also balance andequilibrium. adj., adj homeostat´ic. The term is considered by some to be misleading in that the word element-stasisimplies a static or fixed and unmoving state, whereas homeostasis actually involves continuous motion, adaptation,and change in response to environmental factors.

Balance is not rigid; balance is a constant movement, a dynamic, a play between yin and yang.  It is nature in its pristine form without human intervention that depicts this.

Holding on tightly, mentally, physically, psychologically and transmitted as a psychosomatic tension manifesting as illness, imbalance which can actually be seen as dizziness, faintness, forgetfulness because as the mind feels the body let go and the body clinging and then to let go and with the relaxation a faintness may occur. The mind imaging falling from its dogmatic stance then transmitting this to the neuropeptide cascade to the cells which then get programmed and conditioned to expect this as a natural behavior pattern---and so we fall.

Tension is another form of fear unless we need it for work such as lifting, carrying and such like.  Tense parts of the body that can be felt in repose can be a point of held trauma, fear of re occurrence and are in direct opposition to the body’s homeostasis. 

Of course the longer the duration of the habit the more ingrained it becomes and then this becomes the way of life, it then can become life long and one can come to believe this to be the only way of existence and apparent reality and envying or detesting others who may seem pitiful or better off.  In some cases the envy can be so great in intensity that one may destroy that better off being or a threat to become degraded as one who seems pitiful.  Such is the danger of tension which fixes as super glue habits that are acquired and stored over a life time.

Great awareness and non-judgmental observation is needed and a relaxed determination to let go of the body / mental part in its rigid fixation.

There is a saying “The body believes everything you tell it” The body then becomes the repository and dumping ground and the dustbin of garbage if it is used so.

Dearest body you are a Cosmic Gift, please forgive me as to the abuse I subjected you too.  I cannot justify this and say ‘well I am only human’ this does not mean one has to be gormless meek and weak willed and a door mat and a wilting flower. Nature can be strong, powerful and in some instances soft beautiful and sharing.  Each guided by the inherent guidance of the spontaneous intuitive response.
