My wife is going through some heart issues and I would like to help her out. I have been able to heal my own small maladies from time to time through meditation but since she is quite apprehensive to everything that I'm doing though my meditations I was wondering if anyone could help me try to help her out with her heart. I can provide more detail if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

Sometimes it is best to be supportive in ways that your wife will identify with. Can you tell us more about her, age, nature of the illness, spiritual beliefs, and most of all her frame of mind in dealing with this issue.

Thanks,
John

Sure, she is in her late 20's. The issue is two-fold, not only does she have an much faster heartbeat than normal (115 resting, spikes over 200 during excerise), but as the doctors have told her, there seems to be an issue with her internal pacemaker in which she gets a flutter, or extra beat, that is meant to kinda reset her heart. The flutter is not all that uncommon but with the addition of the fast heartbeat, they are sending her to a specialist. She was born and raised Catholic, and her frame of mind with this is pretty positive with the whole thing. We've talked and I've gotten her to the point where if there is an issue we will cross that road when we get to it. There isn't any use worrying about it until then because that wouldn't be good for her heart either. Of course thats what I told her, but I am a little more worried than that, I would just rather her not know about it for her sake.

You re saying she has a pacemaker installed?

No, that's just the way the doctor explained it to her. Kinda like her internal clock or something like that. It's not working properly and that is why her heart is beating faster than it should...

In one of the articles on this it notes that it can be exacerbated by anxiety, caffeine, nicotine, & other things. It notes that regular yoga, tai chi, & meditation can be useful.

The above article notes low potassium levels can cause an electrolyte abnormality & this can be an issue. I know someone who was on a prescription anti-acid med who ended up in the hospital on an IV because this med so depleted their potassium.

If anxiety is an issue, L’ Theanine, a supplement w/ the calming ingredient of green tea can be useful. It is taken only as needed for acute anxiety.
This isn’t medical advice or a diagnosis.

These articles (2 of 9M+ on tachycardia) give some specifics about tachycardia including other meds to look at causing it.

As you get more information about this, use an internet search engine to look at information.

A friend of mine who is in her 60s has always has a heart flutter. Sometimes it is not a big deal, but it is useful to get this checked out.

If she is nervous about you meditating, etc., w/ being a Catholic, then it might be useful to help reduce her anxiety to discuss energy healing in her terms like, talking to the Universe (God), your spiritual team or guides (guardian angels), meditating (convening w/ God) & healing energy (God’s love & healing).

KNOW you have the support of lightworkers all over the planet while going through this w/ your wife. Reach out to their support. It's there for you 24/7. Also reach out to your spiritual team for guidance & support. KNOW she will be OK, no matter what unfolds.

Thanks Mattie. She had some blood work done and everything came back normal, she barely drinks, has never smoked, although with her being in the last 5 months of getting her Masters there is a lot of stress in that area...but this has been an issue for quite some time. I have tried to get her to meditate with me but she can't sit still for very long. I like the idea of "translating" things into terms that she would be more familiar with.

Thanks!

Jimmy..

A coworker of my husband had an anomaly with the electrical firing of his heart. It would cause fast heart rate, flutters and skipped beats. I think it involved the upper and lower chambers not being in sync. He had ablation surgery and that took care of his problem.

It would be a good idea to get 2nd and 3rd opinons (even 4th!) before accepting that everything is normal and she must live this way, even if it means traveling to a different city or state.

Something she can try in the meantime... getting adequate magnesium. Magnesium is the mineral that relaxes. Magnesium deficiency is very common and can take some time to reverse. If your wife is going to try magnesium supplements, magnesium taurate and magnesium glycinate are one of the more absorbable forms.

Also, has she had her thyroid checked? Hyperthyroidism can cause arrhythmia. In fact, she should probably have a full blood panel work up as well if it hasn't been done before.

That is a great idea.

Then suggest a meditation where she talks to Jesus about her particular circumstances. That is like praying and is encouraged (I hope) by the church.

Her frame of mind is good. I see no reason why that would not be helpful.

Best Wishes!!
John
