These exercises are for your whole family, not just the individual with FOP. Much like the rest of the Resilient Living program they are helpful to practice during times of stress (and pandemic) but can also be practiced year round. Each video is about four to six minutes long. Please read the full description for each video before watching the video.

Video 1 of 3 in our Stress Busting Series
In this video Gloria talks about the effect the fight flight freeze response can have on our immune system. The triple warmer is a meridian that governs our fight flight freeze response, our immune system and our ability to manage stress. Did you know that trouble regulating body temperature, muscle tension, seasonal allergies, many psychological issues and addictions can all be signs of imbalance in the triple warmer system?
Gloria shares several methods for supporting balance in the triple warmer system including:
- Being aware of the particular two hour window of the day when this energy system gets it high fuel time
- A quick exercise using color to help calm the triple warmer
In this video Gloria talks about the many ways stress affects our body. This includes it’s effect on the individual’s muscles, allergies and relationships with others to name a few. Gloria continues to teach effective methods for supporting the body during times of stress by demonstrating how to clear the triple warmer/adrenal neurolymphatic points. *If there is a wound/FOP flare-up in the area do not do the points in that specific location.
The triple warmer plays a major role in the body’s stress response by:
- governing the adrenal glands
- producing more adrenaline giving you a feeling that you have a lot of energy when in fact you are actually running on adrenaline
- prolonging the stress response for too long can result in a sudden crash of the energies of the body’s immune system
