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.
