In The Endorphin Effect, William Bloom describes five triggers that help to produce endorphins.
When we give kind awareness to the subtle sensations in our bodies, the production of adrenalin and cortisol is immediately stopped and our 'Inner Smile' triggers the release of the 'miracle' neuropeptides, the endorphins. Endorphins anaesthetise pain, relax tissue and create sensations of pleasure, calm and well being.
First, there is the Inner Smile in which we give kind awareness to our own bodies.
Second, there is the strategy of sinking into the posture and soft breathing of a good rest or nap.
Third, connecting to the natural world, from a blade of grass through to the immense mystery and wonder of the cosmos, triggers endorphins
.
Fourth, twenty minutes of exercise also triggers these miracle hormones and was first noted as the 'runners' high'. This can be any exercise and doesn't need to be aerobic.
Fifth, and for many people this is the easiest, doing something you like, or thinking about something you like, triggers endorphins. Think of your favourite person or animal — and almost immediately you will notice the beginnings of a pleasurable sensation. Endorphins!
Then, whichever of these five triggers you use, the key is to notice the enjoyable subtle sensations and let them sink more deeply into you.
As these wonderful hormones, the endorphins, are produced, tissue relaxes and healing energy flows more freely. Body and spirit in full cooperation.
