"A note about meditation:

I have been a meditator for about 15 years. I was told by my fellow meditators that meditation would heal my adrenal fatigue. Despite doing two hours a day for the first year of AF, the results were 50/50. It is my belief that we need to heal and balance our biology and that will help our feeling of calm and help us meditate better rather than expecting ourselves to find the solution solely with behavior change."

I've been a meditator for over 30 years and what I've learned about spiritual growth is that it's a never ending process.  As I've been told - "It's the dance of life, three steps forward, two steps back."  But over all, I've found it to be more and more forward and have gotten through many serious issues with meditation.

If you have techniques for clearing out your chakras - energy and your adrenals are related to your 3rd chakra.  Clear it out and heal it to regain your energy.

I've recently picked up something that I use as an adjunct to my meditation and that is the book "The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process: Transcend Your Toughest Times."  It is a simple set of exercises that release "trauma" from our physical reality which have been stored there through our normal "fight or flight" reactions - all associated with the lower chakras.  I've let go of loads of body stored trauma through meditation, but this is a simple set of exercises that allows the body to process stored trauma without even knowing what it is.  We all face trauma from birth (a very traumatic experience and many times still stored in the body) through current day to day life.  It is simply a part of living.  The book explains in exquisite detail how trauma adversely affects the neural pathways in the brain that causes depression, anxiety, PTSD - and adrenal fatigue.  He specifically mentions AF.  The exercises take about 15 to 20 minutes a day and are stressful on the legs, but that's the purpose, which induces tremors which in turn is our animal method of releasing trauma.  This book is available in most public libraries and I've already found myself getting a better night's sleep and also being more aware and alert during the day than before I started a week ago.

Best to you.
