Everyday, from the moment we wake up till we go to sleep, we are bombarded with different forms of stress. Waking up to a sharp, loud alarm clock, followed by a coffee to wake up, followed by morning traffic... these are all stressful events that occur before the workday even begins! 

To deal with stressful events your brain sends a message to your body to prepare to fight or run away (as known as the 'fight or flight' response). Several hormones are released into your bloodstream to prepare you for this emergency situation. Adrenaline increases your heart rate, cortisol helps you turn sugars in your body to energy, norepinephrine tenses your muscles and makes you more alert.  As a response to these hormones, parts of the body not needed in your upcoming fight or flight (such as your digestion system) situation shut down.

Stress is the number one cause of medical problems in the world today. Scientific Studies have shown that stress is a factor in weight gain (Obesity), coronary heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, insomnia, accidental injuries, cirrhosis of the liver and even divorce rates. Stress has also been shown to aggravate diseases like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, herpes, a type of obesity, ulcers and much more.

The body works perfectly as long as we use the chemicals it releases appropriately (i.e. to fight or run). If you don't use these chemicals then they just flow through your bloodstream causing panic, nausea, fainting and cellular breakdown. (To learn more about the harmful effects of stress click here)

Short doses of stress can actually act as a performance enhancer for some people, but continued stress all day, day after day, week after week, month after month cannot help but lead to health problems. With modern communication technologies you can't even escape from work at home, on weekends or even on vacation. Our culture has become so filled with stress that diseases linked to stress have blossomed to unprecedented levels.

The following is a video for instant stress relief and you can use it as part of a long term stress management program

Video The following is a recording designed to help you relax to a fairly deep level of 'Alpha' to help you get some instant stress relief and to provide you with a means for long-term stress management. Using the following relaxation exercise regularly is very effective for long-term stress management.

Background; Many years of research into the natural responses of the body (called bio-feedback) it has been uncovered that at a certain brainwave frequency called "Alpha", your body goes through a natural relaxation response. This is an excellent technique for stress management while simultaneously increasing your attention, memory and sense of well being. You can read more about it in another article by Time Magazine called "Alpha Wave of The Future".  The relaxation technique used with the underlying sound technology called "Binaural Beats" (which helps you enter 'alpha' easily), is called "The Progressive Relaxation Exercise"   

Remember: Breathe slow and deep while you listen to this audio to help oxygenate your blood which increases physical relaxation - Use Headphones.

 

 

Do NOT operate machinery while listening to this recording as it will relax you deeply. For best results sit in a relaxing chair, use stereo headphones and close your eyes to help your body relax deeply.

Meditation is probably the most powerful & effective method we know of for stress management. It has been on the cover of Time Magazine , the film director David Lynch promotes transcendental meditation and Dr. Herbert Benson has made a name for himself with three meditative techniques that invoke "the relaxation response".

You can learn meditation just about everywhere nowadays. Everything from breathing techniques to machines for bio-feedback can help you learn to meditate. (links open in new windows)
