Welcome my readers to other posts.
This time I come to participate in a contest that our friend 
Equanimity is a state of psychological stability and composure that is not disturbed by experience or exposure to emotions, pain, or other phenomena that can cause the mind to lose balance.
When reading these words it came to my mind how this practice of serenity and meditation has helped my mother to lower her blood pressure only by bringing her mind to a peace, away from fears and anxiety.
My story or experience with my mother with high blood pressure
My mother is a 63-year-old woman, despite her age she is a strong woman, in other words warriors has battled many things in life, one of them was three years ago, my father suffered from a tumor in the cervical area that led him to be two years paraplegic in wheelchairs, he even suffered from bedsores (my mother cured him), where my mother was the one who lifted him from bed, bathed him and took care of him at all times and put him to bed , my father would weigh about 80 kilos approximately, with the help of my brothers we took him to therapy, but since they had to move to another place outside the house for almost a year, mostly everything was done by my mother alone, taking him to therapy, raise it on a high stretcher, lower it, day after day it was like that, it is not easy for a hypertensive woman and being about 60 years old, to do as many things as my mother did, where did my mother draw strength from? The only thing I know that she told me that she asked God for strength to lift my father out of bed every day, but dry the strength that she had in turn is also because of the great love that my mother has for my father ( that was always a great boyfriend love), my mother never gave up, my mother always wanted my father to walk again and be able to get up from that chair, I always fight with him until the day he died.
Mi mother
I make this short introduction so that you can see how my mother has fought in life, since she was little, her life has not been easy but she has always fought great battles with God. My mother has been suffering from hypertension for 20 years, where she has had her treatment, and we even have a blood pressure monitor on hand to control her blood pressure since my country, hospitals, and have no blood pressure measuring tools.
For about 3 months we took her to the cardiologist since she had a lack of control in blood pressure (180/120 mm Hg) where the cardiologist told her that her heart was fine, but she should be calm, which may be the product of the same anxiety, nerve. Most of my mother's blood pressure surge has been due to strong emotional moments, it is where she has always been attributed emotional blood pressure. Every time my mother's blood pressure rose, she took a dose of captopril to lower her levels, but when I gave her that medication I saw that it affected her a lot, her face changed, she felt weakness in her body, the pulsations were mild.
How equanimity helped your health
About two months ago I started downloading a series of guided meditation and relaxation videos for my mother so that you would listen to every night, since that moment my mother has maintained a very rapid improvement. When it comes moments that her tension rises from her, I only put the headphones and a video meditation where she relaxes her body, making her breath slowly deepen, and her mind takes her to a tranquility and in serene peace.
Because when she has these symptoms of high blood pressure she shows symptoms of anxiety, fear and fear that she has caused her blood pressure to rise, and if she is not controlled it leads to high levels. Where her mind wanders to negative and bad things due to the fear of having high blood pressure.
When I take my mother's blood pressure she has a high state, before entering a medication I start with her mind being equanimous in peace, to control her mentally since on other occasions despite having taken a medication to lower her blood pressure is still high . I start with a state of relaxation, which lasts about 30 minutes if I measure my blood pressure again and the blood pressure has not dropped at all, take a dose of captopril, which is a diuretic that helps to lower tension quickly. With this I am not saying that my mother does not take medication to control her, if she takes it, but the one that has been eliminated is the one that lowers the tension too quickly.
Through equanimity, a state of peace of mind, she has been able to establish a tension from 170/100 mm Hg to 120/80 mm Hg, in just 30 minutes. Momentrong cough full of emotions or feelings, he has tried to take it calmly, of course I cannot say that it can affect him but it has helped him a lot. In the morning he always performs medication exercise that helps him to be at peace with her and hers around her, where her health has evolved in a positive way.
Note: I am not saying that Equanimity does not need medical control. Rather, it helps that blood pressure process that causes anxiety, where it shows a picture of fear, fear causing the tension to rise.
