All things pertaining to function of body. Postural awareness, for example, can be affected by both mind (emotions) and body (structure). Emotionally, a slumped posture (rounded shoulders and forward head) can be rooted in deeply ingrained fear or poor self-image creating a contracted jaw (clenching/grinding of teeth), a contracted diaphragm (shallow breathing), contracted abdominals (digestive distress/bloating), or a contracted urethra (frequent urination). Structurally, that same slumped posture can have tight contracted chest muscles with restricted mobility producing rounded shoulders, and weak (lengthened) upper back and deep neck flexor muscles. Neuromuscular control to hold the scapulae and neck with postural stability has been lost. This one postural presentation can affect how you chew, sit, sleep, breath, digest, urinate, and ambulate.

Core (thoracic spine) mobility can be an evaluative tool for how certain emotions can affect the body over time. Emotionally, limited thoracic spine mobility can be a sign of reduced diaphragmatic breathing, poor cardiovascular health promoting rigid arteries (arteriosclerosis), and an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Sympathetic ganglion (SNS) run along the thoracic spine, and light up with a charge when emotions like frustration, anger, and irritability are experienced. Without a healthy balance of the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), a dominant (SNS) over time will accelerate aging at an alarming rate. Structurally, a stiff thoracic spine can be the missing link as to why a a fully functioning shoulder is unable to life the arm overhead freely. Ignoring emotional roots in physiological presentations, can often be why symptoms return time and time again when only structural issues are addressed.

All things pertaining to function of mind & emotions. Never underestimate the power of your mind. Only 5% of who you are comes from your conscious mind. The other 95% comes from your subconscious mind. If only it was possible to tell the subconscious how to think/act/believe. From an early age and from trauma, the subconscious mind is programmed with deeply ingrained patterns affecting your every thought, behavior, and chosen word you speak. Today, the language of your mind determines the reality you live in. The words you speak don’t describe your life, they create it. What life are you creating today?

Oftentimes, anxiety or overwhelm is a warning from the unconscious mind to focus on what you want. Programmed patterns of thinking create a conflict within that keep you “stuck”, or with rising levels of anxiety. Your values and beliefs paint the picture of your mindset. Do your values and beliefs no longer serve your highest good?

At the cellular level, you are sensitive to your environment and the energy (+/-) it contains. Each one of your cells replicates whatever thought (+/-) is attached to it. All behavior and health of a person is directly related to the quality of cells contained therein. Through LifeSpeak it is possible to reprogram neural networks in your subconscious mind. This is not simply using affirmations. Affirmations used by an individual with low self esteem will only worsen, not improve their self-image. LifeSpeak is an entire arsenal of tools to meet you right at your level, and expose exactly where your conflict, anxiety, problem, issue, false (negative) belief reside. With LifeSpeak, you can reclaim your narrative, causing a cascade of healing to flow through your mind, body, identity, and emotions.

All things systemically are directly affected by your state of mind, body, and emotions. To validate a systems biology approach: the effectiveness of each system of the body interacting well with one another defines functional wholeness. Optimal function will not be achieved when each system desires wholeness in isolation from one another.

At Kairos your “modus vivendi” (way of living) is the foundation of total system alignment. 90% of chronic disease is driven by environment, not genome. Modus vivendi and environment have the greatest effect on gene expression. . A system lacking homeostasis can be dysfunctional in one of these three areas.

Sleep- Body needs restoration of circadian rhythm to repair/rejuvenate body with REM and DEEP SLEEP.

Nourishment- Body needs to repair gut-brain axis & gut microbiome having proper absorption with adequate “good” bacteria flourishing.

Movement- Body needs to trigger cellular regeneration of internal milieu to maintain the whole body’s internal stability.

Low/high cortisol (stress hormone) levels and low/high DHEA-S (vitality hormone) levels can show disruption in your modus vivendi. Low HRV (heart rate variability) levels can show a disruption in your heart-brain axis and/or gut-brain axis. Both of these can give a bird’s eye view of your internal environment concerning emotions/stress and accumulative effects of modus vivendi in real-time affecting your body as a whole, systemically. The body as a whole requires each system to flourish for optimal vitality, emotional peace, and mental clarity.
