Before we move on to the emotions that can alter how your adrenal glands work, let’s understand what function these glands play in our body.
Kidney glands
The adrenal glands are themselves endocrine glands located on top of each of our two kidneys, so we now know that we all have two adrenal glands.
Each of our adrenal glands is made up of two distinct tissues:
adrenal cortical part
It is made up of three layers of tissue. One of these two layers, the glomerular layer, controls renin-angithesin (which is a kidney enzyme) and the other two layers control pituitary corticotropin. Each of these layers, in turn, manufactures a different hormone:
- The glomerular zone manufactures aldosterone, a hormone that allows the balance of sodium and potassium in our body.
- The fascicular zone produces cortisol, whose function in the body is to metabolize sugars, flours and fats.
- The zona reticularis manufactures adrenal androgens, whose function is to manufacture weak steroids or precursors that in turn regulate reproduction.
Adrenal medulla part
It is made up of cells that produce catecholamines, neurotransmitters capable of producing adrenaline. This part of the adrenal glands is governed by the central nervous system.
Knowing all of the above and understanding that having a problem in the adrenal glands causes us an altered level of hormones, these failures can alter our functions in the testicles or ovaries and at the same time it can lead us to a state of continuous fatigue.
It is important to understand the emotional impacts that we had to experience or are even experiencing in order to restore its function.
Emotional conflicts part adrenal cortico
If the affected area of my adrenal glands is the adrenal cortical partthe emotional conflicts that I am experiencing or the emotional impact that I experienced are necrotizing the cortical substance of my glands:
- I have suffered a strong self-devaluation when I realized that I was not smart enough to make a certain decision.
- I was not brave, strong or aggressive enough.
- I took the wrong direction and took the wrong path.
- I rushed to make my decision and it was not the best.
- I regret the path I decided to follow, what I did was wrong.
- I failed before others in the way I chose this path.
- It was not good, correct, prudent, the way I decided my path.
- I damaged, hurt, hurt others with my decision on the way.
- I took the wrong direction, I took the wrong path, there is no turning back.
Repentance
There is a tone that never varies when presenting damage to the adrenal glands and it is regret, for having taken a path that we thought was right and now feeling trapped, lost, lost.
A constant emotion that despite continuing on that path, it is not what fully fills us, our path takes us away from what is known, what is loved.
I abandoned my “pack” to follow this path that I thought was ideal and I think that although I feel apparently happy, I am not in the right place. Find stories from:
- Employment or professional situation
- Career choice, couple. Follow the couple and leave the home.
- Moving to a different country and missing your own.
- Change of religion, customs, etc.
Look for stories of “I ran away from home, I thought it was the best and now, although I regret my decision, there is no turning back” (because there are already children, because I already signed a contract, because I already got married), I can no longer go back or well yes I can do it but I am already another person.
Emotional conflicts part of the adrenal medulla
If the affected area of my adrenal glands is the part adrenal medullathe emotional conflicts that I am experiencing or the emotional impact that I experienced are altering my hormonal production and functioning:
- I attacked someone and then I ran away, I ran away to hurt someone, I ran away so that with my escape, I would teach someone a lesson.
If the production of adrenaline is altered
- It’s my time to attack or flee.
- I have to show that I know how to make decisions.
The typical story of the daughter or son leaving home as a “rebellion”, to follow their partner, to try to demonstrate independence, to free themselves from parental pressure or lack of parental attention.
If the production of norepinephrine is altered
- I must continue with my plan, although it was not what I expected.
- I have to show that I am well and happy, although deep down I regret what I did and how I did it.
- I have to pretend that everything is fine.
In order to recover the health of our adrenal glands, the most prudent and effective solution is to speak face to face with those people we abandoned in our burst of independence and flight. Express our regret and stop pretending that everything is fine.
Perhaps the wrong path was chosen on impulse and our present life is really not so bad but we continue to regret “how” we did it.
Obviously, if for some reason we are “forced” to return home due to the lack of a stable economy, because the partner was not the right one, because that change of career or profession did not turn out as we had imagined, the emotional burden of regret is increases and with it the damage to our glands.
We must free ourselves from that feeling of “I made the wrong decision”, adding up all the good that was learned, all the much or little that was gained.
So things…
