Avoid Fear and Fright for a Healthier Life

Some people seek out frights to stimulate the rush of adrenaline, but the long-term effects are not healthy.

Treats, Not Tricks this Halloween

Before you think about giving your friends a fright this Halloween, consider the damage it could cause – especially if you’re not the first person that evening to scare them.

Excess fear also damages a person’s kidney energy and causes that energy to descend, sometimes causing loss of bladder control.

Chronic fear and paranoia can even cause renal failure and permanent kidney damage. That doesn’t make a fun Halloween for anyone.

Emphasize treats instead of tricks for your friends this Halloween. Even if you don’t celebrate the holiday, you can still take time to share treats on October 31. The act of giving, whether it’s a candy bar or a compliment, will make both giver and receiver feel good.

You can protect yourself against the effects of fright by cultivating your pure energy, and using Feng Shui to achieve a balance between yin and yang in your system. These measures will help you build a strong defense against sudden fright.

But how to handle persistent fright or chronic worry that turns into fear?

The Dangers of Fear

If fright persists and becomes chronic fear, it moves to the kidneys and injures these important organs, as well. Persistent fear carries with it a host of additional medical problems.

The kidneys control the growth and development of bones and nourish the marrow, which is the body’s source of red and white blood cells. According to The Complete Book of Chinese Health & Healing, by Daniel Reid, “Weak kidney energy is… a prime cause of anemia and immune deficiency… The Chinese view the spinal cord and the brains as forms of marrow, and therefore poor memory, inability to think clearly and backache are all regarded as indicators of impaired kidney function and deficient kidney energy.”
