I recently shared a short video of a simple tool that helps me with anxiety. In it, I mention “Triple Warmer,” a powerful energy system that governs the habit field & supports us when we’re fighting disease. Triple Warmer is such a powerful, beautiful energy system but also incredibly complex. I’ll do my best to share my understanding of this system with you here.
The habit field can be helpful so we’re able to do certain things without having to think them through every time. Tying your shoes, brushing your teeth, getting dressed and other repetitive activities form a pattern or habit for your body to follow with very little thought involved. Have you ever gotten in your car to drive home, only once arriving there realize you were “checked out” the entire time and almost wonder how you got there? That’s Triple Warmer, governing your habit field in auto pilot, in a sense.
While that habit field can be a positive thing (how mentally draining would it be to have to think about each sequential step every single time we ate a meal or drove a car?), we are human and often form undesirable habit fields as well. As we all know, it’s incredibly difficult to change a deeply ingrained habit no matter how much we want or need to.
So Triple Warmer can be our happy little helper, until we want to make a change. Then this “general” may have different ideas on where and how the troops should head into battle. When we want to change a habit or work towards healing, it’s to our greatest benefit to calm Triple Warmer (referred to as “TW” from here on). When TW is out of balance or overactive, it throws the immune system into overdrive, aka fight-or-flight at unhelpful times (like bedtime!). We might be attempting to do healing work and/or make positive changes for our bodies, but if TW isn’t addressed and we are still on “high alert,” healing is next to impossible. Positive changes are unachievable.
TW is frequently being activated in this modern world with all the distractions and products our bodies experience as “foreign.” When we are able to calm TW, we are able to begin to shift towards healing and new, positive habits and changes. When we engage mindfully with our surroundings and make an effort to be present, we can notice much more quickly when our system would benefit from a calming technique. Then perhaps instead of mindlessly turning to our typical distractions (devices, etc.), we would utilize the tools that are beneficial to us.
In a retreat setting, guests get the opportunity to practice exactly this. They’re encouraged to “unplug” and turn inward. New tools to reflect, process, & move forward are gained. Body, mind, and spirit are nourished in a safe space in order to progress on an individualized healing journey.
Mindful Connections in October at the Hideway at Xanadu in Battle Lake, Minnesota will be a safe, nourishing experience to gain mindfulness tools and aid your own innate healing abilities.
I plan to share many more TW calming techniques in this space in the weeks and months to come as well! This is just one of the tools that works for me. Join me for a retreat or reach out for a personalized Energy Medicine Yoga or bodywork session to experience many of these for yourself.
Take the best care of yourself this week!
