Digestive System & the Blue Healing State
Balance • Regulation • Stabilization • Inflammation • Digestion • Assimilation • Integration
The digestive system is deeply influenced by our nervous system, emotional state, inflammatory processes, sleep, stress level, and ability to regulate and recover.
The Blue Healing State emphasizes calming excessive activity and restoring greater stability.
Blue is especially useful when the system has become overstimulated, hypersensitive, reactive, irritated, emotionally turbulent, or unable to settle.
The Stress-Plagued Digestive System
Stress does not remain exclusively in the mind.
The digestive tract communicates continuously with the nervous system, and prolonged stress can influence digestive motility, visceral sensitivity, appetite, muscular tension, digestive secretions, bowel patterns, and the perception of discomfort.
Autonomic Balance
Action vs. Rest
The autonomic nervous system includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Neither is inherently good or bad.
Health requires flexibility between states.
Digestion
Digestion requires coordination.
Stress, pain, emotional activation, sleep disruption, illness, and other physiological disturbances can interfere with the experience of this process.
Blue supports practices intended to create a calmer internal environment in which digestive processes can occur with less interference from persistent stress activation.
“We digest more than food. We digest experience. Regulation gives us the space to receive what nourishes us, integrate what teaches us, and release what we no longer need to carry.”
