Stress
is the "wear and tear" our bodies
experience as we adjust to our
continually changing environment; it has
physical and emotional effects on us and
can create positive or negative feelings.
As a positive influence, stress can help
compel us to action; it can result in a
new awareness and an exciting new
perspective. As a negative influence, it
can result in feelings of distrust,
rejection, anger, and depression, which
in turn can lead to health problems such
as headaches, upset stomach, rashes,
insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure,
heart disease, and stroke. With the death
of a loved one, the birth of a child, a
job promotion, or a new relationship, we
experience stress as we readjust our
lives. In so adjusting to different
circumstances, stress will help or hinder
us depending on how we react to
it.
The flip-side of Stress is Relaxation
- Relaxation therapy restores harmony
and helps to create conditions for optimum
living. It is the releasing of physical and
mental tensions. People often need help and
training to understand how to release physical
and mental tensions.
Relaxation therapies are non-intrusive and
gentle and can help treat Arthritis, asthma,
anxiety, depression, high and low blood
pressure, mental and physical problems caused
through stress, and panic
attacks.
