I AM THE ADRENALS
In western physiology I produce hormones that affect Your ability to deal with stress.
Some hormones produce an effect similar to the flight or fight nervous system response to prepare you for action and give you strength. Other hormones ensure you have adequate blood sugar for activity, and others combat inflammation. Some hormones regulate the kidneys and your ability to maintain blood pressure.
I am also associated with the base chakra and relate to your basic need for survival. When you feel supported, your need for extra strength, motivation and willpower is moderated. When your sense of support is challenged, you drain your reserves for every minor emergency in life leading to adrenal "burnout" and a sense of overwhelm.
In Chinese medicine I am strongly associated with kidney function of protecting your life force and generating fear to keep you alert to danger. When you feel separate from others, this fear can turn to paranoia and obsession and the need to hide your weaknesses behind coping behaviors. I represent the yang, or more active, aspect of kidney sensuality and are hence associated with your sexuality.
My primary job is to give you strength and willpower to meet life challenges and to encourage healthy sexuality.
