Impotence and Heart Condition Relationship. By David Barilla ( Intent On Change)

According to the Toronto 24 hour daily newspaper courtesy of " The Associated Press," a study of men 35 and over adds to evidence that erectile dysfunction /impotence is an early warning sign for heart disease. These men were more likely to experience chest pain, a heart attack or stroke within the next seven years. The study appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It was co-authored by Dr. Ian Thompson of the University of Texas Health Science Center of San Antonio.

Allow me ( David ) to now explain why this is so. I am in no way disputing the findings however I am sure that is unclear to them as to why. Let us have a look at the emotional components that can lead to and or are a result of.....

The condition itself of impotence/erectile dysfunction, can have a devastating effect therefore an emotional component. For the body to be a whole functioning organism, the being must " deeply and completely accept themselves."
It is most likely that an emotional component is the cause of the dysfunction. Conflict with ones sexuality can greatly add to the confusion of the sexual energy of the ( Sacral Chakra). As we develop as a society more and more men are trying to come to terms with there hidden sexual feelings. Society, family and the self place great stress via guilt, shame, and fear of abandonment when the individual attempts to acknowledge or express his true identity.
This identity may be a gay or bi or gay curious identity long repressed. Anything held in the body and not expressed manifests in some way. For some it may be cancer, others arthritis, some impotence, .......................

As the relationships gay or strait (marriages ) of many years lose the spark and a man is no longer desirable; his sexuality rejected by that partner, he can shut down emotionally. Sexual function and the energy that supports it is specifically related to JOY. There is an absolute correlation between lack of joy and act of achieving an ereection. If you are truly honest with yourself you can see the connection. I will even go as far as to say that a heart condition ( lack of, or loss of love on some level), heart attack, stroke, or diabetes that leaves one with a dysfunction are all related to a lack of Joy and not "deeply and completely excepting oneself. " Sexual function can shut down, and it can also be restored by finding the joy within, in many cases. I only speak passionately about or write about what I know,  have experienced personally to some degree or verified over and over with clients.

Rejection of a partner, on an emotional level can result in a subconscious /emotional shutting down which manifests as impotence which gives the man the physical (excuse / reason to not have to perform or be intimate.) It is self defeating. It is a way of punishing self or someone else which translates either way as a deficiency of Love.

** the following is an off topic interruption but quite valid as it reinforces my absolute belief in how we create all situations in our lives.

A new client came to me after much difficulty in communicating with him over a telephone, since he had a hearing problem.

When he arrived he said he had just lost his hearing, the doctors couldn't find any medical explanation and he was recently fitted with ear pieces. You don't just lose your hearing with no medical explanation.
Therefore the non medical explanation is an emotional component. My immediate interpretation was " what doesn't he want to hear. " I noticed what appeared to be a wedding band. I asked him if he was married . He replied yes. I asked if he minded if I asked a few question; he said no. I sensed a relationship issue with his wife. Why, because for starters he was coming to see me. I asked if there was a part of him that has been " getting tired of listening, don't want to hear about it; " using phrases like or having thoughts of "I didn't hear you, I can't hear you. He was hesitant but agreed. Afterwards we touched on some other issues that went back 30 - 40 years where he created a physical symptom on the side of the face close to the ear where he had the most hearing loss. The emotional components to that particular imbalance he could also relate to and was seeing the correlation.

What was most significant was when he was leaving. The words that came out of his mouth were, " and now she's paying for it.. "

It was difficult for us to talk with the hearing aids and the screeching they emitted so during the massage he had taken them out. In his home life , this would be one more opportunity for him to not hear. He can create all kinds of excuses like, they were turned down, your talking to loud, it hurts my ear.............

( And Now Back To The Heart )
Love is what nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. Without love the body dies. Where is this love held? Where is the source? The Source is the Heart. The Heart is contained within the Heart Chakra. When the energy of the Heart Chakra is unbalanced then the result can only be malfunction of the heart and as a result, stress on the entire body which requires the optimum function of the physical Heart.

Put simply, the Heart Chakra and the physical heart / lungs require love. This " Love of self " is imperative. One must also own the ability and the know how to be able to give and to receive. The heart pumps nutrient and oxygen rich blood to the entire body and systems. Erectile function requires receipt of this oxygen and nutrient rich blood. Any emotional block can block the completion of this task. As each individual is that, an individual it is necessary to evaluate each case individually with complete honesty regardless of what others may think. It is this thinking that gets one into an emotional state which allows this or any other condition to manifest.

To be blunt, a woman can fake it; a man cannot. We are sexual beings. The dysfunction of a mans dick can leave him feeling inadequate. Inadequate translates as loss of self esteem / loss of personal power/loss of identity and loss of the ability to express oneself creatively. The desire and ability to form new or to continue in loving, nurturing, sexual relationships is strained if ones inability to function or  perform completely is affected. This is detrimental to the physical and emotional heart. They are not separate.

A man left feeling isolated and alone is without love. A man who has difficulty masturbating, even solo can be left feeling inadequate / isolated / unwanted and undesirable. This may in fact be only in his mind and there may be many women / men out there who would prefer her/his man to just be kind, generous, sensual and nurturing which does not require his dick but I propose that risk of rejection is too great to attempt reaching out for and extend or receive the love which keeps the body alive.

Everything in your life you define as good or bad is created by your thoughts. The Universal powers you access and that are working for you every second of the day donor distinguish between good or bad. Good or bad is defined by man. The Universal law that creates all that we consciously or unconsciously ask for acts on " your wish is my command. "

If the feeling about any person, any situation and definitely your self does not Feeeel good then change how you Feeeeel. It can be as simple as sending or receiving a kind, positive and loving thought.

Heart and Stroke

A dear client of some years who I hadn't heard from in a while called me after a period of time from the rehabilitation hospital where he had spent the past six months following a stroke. On the previous new years eve he had finally decided it was time to experience a bath house. Despite having lived in New York City for a good part of his life and Toronto, he had never experienced a bath house. Unfortunately he suffered a paralysing stroke at a bath house in Toronto. I am aware of an emptiness and hurt he feels from the loss of a partner who died suddenly, after being unwell for some time and not telling him. The home and all they shared was left to a brother and nothing to him. That is a heavy loss to bear in ones heart. He was extremely lucky in being able to regain his walking abilities, use of his arm and being able to eat. He is unable to get an erection.

He is one of the sweetest gentlest, thoughtful , fun people I know who certainly did not deserve this , but it is an excellent example which clearly shows how the burden of unresolved life conflicts can affect the physical heart.

There is a specific " Meridian " ( Energy Line that runs through the body ) based on Oriental Medicine, Shiatsu and Acupuncture called the Pericardium or " Circulation Sex " It is specifically related to the heart function and sexual energy.. Lack of Joy in either areas is the key emotional imbalance. Cold hands and cold feet are a very good indication of the quality of the energy that supports circulation. The extremities are the last region warm blood will flow to, including head hands ears and the penis. Blood is required to get an erection and blood is composed of water and nutrient rich foods. There is an absolute correlation between, lack of joy, lack of self love and denial of the vital elements of survival .( conscious breathing, eating, drinking water )

*Any failed attempts at getting an erection, register with the subconscious, if there is even the slightest of doubt that one can or will be able to, if the thought " I can't " even enters the conscious or unconscious while attempting you are sure to fail. Your thought are extremely powerful.

*Cialis / Viagra will only work if the sexual energy exists. It isn't necessary to take a whole tablet. You can actually take the equivalent of a crumb to give your system a needed boost but the passion without the urgency has to be there. You can get results if the " JOY " aspect, on all levels is present within you. I repeat, "JOY, within you " on all levels. Is it there? If it's not; find IT and restore IT.

Once you have achieved an erection, however you get there, whatever fantasy you use and accomplish it, you will have instilled an " I CAN " thought into the subconscious " and this is the opportunity which will allow you to achieve an erection once again. If you subject yourself to; put out to the Universe even subtly, an " I can't " message, that is exactly what you will get. The Universe does not distinguish between what you meant and what you said or thought. When you feel the Joy of the experience your body recognises it and works with you to achieve that joy if you wish again.

Massage is a great opportunity to get in touch with your body to be in your body. Donor be afraid to mention that you have had some dysfunction issues. Acknowledging it without making it a focus is a great starting point in dealing with it. There is so much more that can be experienced within the body that does not require and erection or ejaculation. Human touch, the right kind of touch is far more valuable.
