HEEL SPUR / Calcanius Spur

HEEL SPUR  ( Calcanius Spur ) 

Causes of Heel Spurs: 
Heel spurs occur when calcium deposits build up on the underside of the heel bone, a process that usually occurs over a period of many months. Heel spurs are often caused by strains on foot muscles and ligaments, stretching of the plantar fascia, and repeated tearing of the membrane that covers the heel bone. Heel spurs are especially common among athletes whose activities include large amounts of running and jumping.

Risk factors for heel spurs include:
Walking gait abnormalities,which place excessive stress on the heel bone, ligaments, and nerves near the heel
Running or jogging, especially on hard surfaces
Poorly fitted or badly worn shoes, especially those lacking appropriate arch support

Excess weight and obesity
Other risk factors associated with plantar fasciitis include:
Increasing age, which decreases plantar fascia flexibility and thins the heel's protective fat pad

Diabetes
Spending most of the day on one's feet
Frequent short bursts of physical activity
Having either flat feet or high arches

Symptoms of Heel Spurs
Heel spurs often cause no symptoms. But heel spurs can be associated with intermittent or chronic pain -- especially while walking, jogging, or running -- if inflammation develops at the point of the spur formation. In general, the cause of the pain is not the heel spur itself but the soft-tissue injury associated with it.
Many people describe the pain of heel spurs and plantar fasciitis as a knife or pin sticking into the bottom of their feet when they first stand up in the morning -- a pain that later turns into a dull ache. They often complain that the sharp pain returns after they stand up after sitting for a prolonged period of time.

CLEANSING MIND  - EMOTIONS

All diseases do not originate at first in the physical body . Therefore,  mental and emotional problems are also very important to be cleaned.

Even modern doctors have come to the conclusion that many physical diseases are due to negative thoughts and emotions . If a person is pessimistic or angry about someone thing , this is reflected on his / her thoughts.

For emotional cleansing :
● Try to get rid of negative emotions. Especially destructive emotions of anger , it instantly starts dangerous biochemical processes in the body. You need to take care of yourself and avoid negative thoughts , because they primarily complicate our lives.

Even if you are very careful about the emotions you may be influenced by someone else negative energy ,in the same way as the contagious diseases spread from one person to other.and even if you just talked with a negative person or as they say in modern psychology , non-resource person , who is full of  fear, you can get infected with this attitude . May be before you  met someone you have lived quietly , but then you also start getting similar fears. It distorts all the subtle body , and eventually the problem starts on the physical level , and the complexity of life begins with same type of people getting attracted into your life then consequently , you can not achieve anything in your career, personal life and so on.

● Do not become dependent on the memories. Memories should be taken as lessons. If we tried twice to go on the same road and fell twice, in the middle because of the pit , which means that the third time would not be going there . However, ordinary people often regrets about the past and dreams of the future. But your strength is to live in the present . Often that person hurt in school by friends or students,  remembers it all his life . Some studies have even shown that insults cause serious illnesses such as cancer. You should not suppress memories , or ignore them. But if the memories come , it is necessary to observe them without emotional coloring , yes, it has been and gone . Take a piece of paper and write down all the unpleasant things which had happened  and on this paper, draw flowers or something else that you associate you  with love. Imagine the energy of love filling  this periods . And if one or two times you do it sincerely , it is usually negative thoughts go.

●  It  is also desirable to take a shower - cold water in the morning and hot or warm water in the evening . As water washes off all your sins and bad memories and you can say let all the +ve thoughts and bad memories flow with to water .Thus it is necessary to imagine that the water washes away all your unpleasant thoughts .

● Communicate with interesting and wise people who can teach you something .

Very useful mild form of meditation. Many people believe that in order to meditate , you need to be a yogi ( sage ) or live in the Himalayas. But it is not true. If you come home from work in the evening upset , try to meditate . Take a shower , turn off the TV . And sit 10 minutes in silence , keep breathing. Yogis have a system of " pranayama " when a person breathes in a certain way   all the negative thought are removed  . Still very important to say: " I ​​wish everyone divine love " or "I wish everyone happiness" - and imagine how the energy of love and bliss pervades your every cell and goes off you to other people.
