As the parasympathetic system is anabolic to the sympathetic system (the sympathetic system is dominant in times of stress or emergencies) both the mind and body becomes calmer and more relaxed, thus reducing harmful stress hormones into the blood stream, reducing stress and overall reducing Stress Effect. The parasympathetic system when dominant will have a physiological response, specifically there will be a drop in heart rate, along with blood pressure, a decrease in those harmful stress hormones and finally a slowing of the metabolism.

INSOMNIA

Insomnia in general may be caused by not being able to let go of the day. Thoughts race around in one’s mind, along with the worry of the day and the mind simply can not unwind. Thus, this creates the cycle of insomnia. This is just one cause of insomnia. There may be other underlying causes of insomnia. If your insomnia is chronic or has persisted over many years see your doctor and discuss your insomnia or alternatively seek advice from a sleep clinic that specializes and are qualified to treat insomnia. Sleep is important to both our psychical and mental health. Deep sleep is a healing sleep as in deep sleep the body releases growth hormone that regenerates and repairs the body. Insomnia interferes with the body’s natural innate ability to repair and regenerate. Insomnia robs us of our optimal day to day functioning. Seek appropriate medical advice for chronic or persistent insomnia.

All of the above may be helpful for insomnia. Insomnia can be managed as there are things that can be done to improve insomnia effectively without the use of medication.

Ultra Deep Meditation

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Since ancient times people have used meditation. Meditation has derived from various religions and philosophies. However, meditation today is often used without any religious beliefs, but rather as an aid to stress relief, or spiritual awakening, to improve health or simply as pure enjoyment of practicing meditation and the pleasant feelings that arise from meditation. Meditation is free and can be practiced in one’s own home and does not take up too much time, mindfulness meditation is but one type of meditation. Mindfulness meditation Mindfulness meditation is effective in reducing stress, anxiety, some types of depression, and many other negative emotions. Mindfulness is about the present moment or more specifically the individual being fully engaged in the present moment, without judgment, or analyzing or “over-thinking” the experience. Mindfulness meditation focus is on what’s happening right now in the here and now.

A mindfulness meditation technique:

Body scanning – begin with a Body scan - by focusing your attention on certain parts of your body you become mindful. Start your focus with the feet and simply work your way up. Do not tense your muscles; simply focus on each part of your body paying attention to how it feels without any labeling of the sensations. For example do not think of the sensations as being as either “good” or “bad” – they simply are Mindfulness does require some effort to maintain concentration and to bring it back into the “present moment” whenever the mind wanders. However with regular and consistent practice, mindfulness meditation essentially changes the brain by strengthening areas within the brain that are associated with relaxation and joy, thus weakening the areas that have been involved in stress and negativity.

SUBLIMINAL

Subliminal techniques are often used by hypnotherapists and there are many subliminal CD MP3 & DVDs available for sale. Subliminal tapes and CD MP3 & DVDs are easy to use and don’t require too much work. Subliminal tapes and subliminal CD MP3 & DVD are relatively inexpensive and are often very pleasant to listen to. People seem to like using subliminal and often prefer subliminal technique over other alternatives. Although the listener can not hear the positive suggestions subliminals are absorbed by the subconscious mind. As the subconscious mind absorbs the positive affirmations or positive subliminal, change takes place from within. Subliminal technology has been around and used for many years and some people feel that it is very effective for them. Subliminal persuasion has been used by marketers and researches although evidence suggests that it is not effective. I do not think one can do something just because a subliminal has told them to. My opinion is I think subliminals may be effective if the person wants certain change to take place and the positive subliminal suggestions are congruent with their attitudes and desired outcomes and will most likely be used in conjunction with other self help or other helpful therapies. This may be why subliminals seem to work for some people as they are committed to create positive lasting changes and simply use subliminal techniques as another tool in their repertoire for change but it is not the only tool they use. What makes subliminal and subliminal tapes or subliminal CD MP3 & DVDs and Subliminal DVDs effective is subliminal programming or rather positive subliminal suggestions are often repetitive and why subliminal tapes or subliminal CD MP3 & DVDs and Subliminal DVDs are easy to use. This is because with subliminal programming you do not have to concentrate or really notice as long as the subliminal message is positive and you like the subliminal messages and they are congruent with the positive change that you want to bring about then the subliminal messages within the subliminal program may have a positive affect on you. Providing the subliminal affirmations or the subliminal messages are positive, a subliminal program may be another affective tool as part of your overall self improvement or self help program.

Relaxation

Relaxation is the antagonist to the fight or flight response. Relaxation is the opposite to stress; relaxation is a calming of the senses the physical, the psychological and the mental and some say the spiritual. A true relaxation response occurs when there is no perceived threat. The autonomic nervous system functioning returns to normal when one is relaxed. Relaxation occurs when the body is not in any perceived danger and our our thoughts are no longer worrisome. What do we do when we just can not relax, our muscles feel tense, our mind is racing with worries and we feel exhausted but highly aroused at the same time. First take some slow deep breaths, breath into the abdomen as it is hard for the mind to think of two things at once. This will divert the minds attention away from troublesome thoughts.

Healing Power

The physical body feels and senses all the energy of an individual’s emotions and thoughts, even though he/she may not be consciously aware of them. There is what is referred to as the body and mind connection. All emotional traumas along with physical traumas are stored within the body. The "storage unit” so to speak is what generates your level of vibration, which is classified as your exclusive energy signature. If the individual holds onto negative events such as fear, anger, emotional or mental pain, sadness, depression, etc the individual’s personal vibration will become lower. On the other hand should the individual hold joyous and happy events, along with a sense of personal fulfillment the individual’s energy vibration will be higher. Healing power in part comes from within and is dependant upon the individual’s framework, his/her experiences and perception. If there is joy and happiness within the auric field the vibration will be finer or cleaner, if there is the opposite the vibration will reflect this. A lower energy vibration will lead to similar events in other words like attracts like, so events will mirror themselves to your Vibrational needs. Unhappy, more unhappiness, the challenge is to overcome this unhappiness or whatever it is that keeps repeating in your life. Don’t look at it with despair but rather embrace it, ask yourself what can I learn from this situation, what is being mirrored to me, what do I need to recognize here. It is an opportunity for growth and positive change as you deal with each situation productively, you will have learned and can move forward in more peace and joy and at the same time your Vibrational energy is clearing and is becoming higher. You may have learned patience or tolerance along the way, you may realize that you are no longer indifferent and have become a better person, and what affected you once no longer does it simply rolls over you like water off a ducks back. That is healing power and as you become vibrationally higher your healing power will increase and as we are less affected by stress and worldly mundane worries etc, we are healthier both physically and mentally and in turn our upbeat and optimistic attitude is picked up by others thus having a positive affect on them - again that is healing power. Many spiritual energy healers do their work with their hands, such as Reiki, they send positive energy to the various parts of the body, which is intended to raise the vibration within the body. They are using healing power.  Through the use of spiritual energy healing you are changing and shifting your vibration. You are using healing power, you and your higher consciousness along with god, or the creator.

GUIDED MEDITATION CD

Guided Meditation means simply that the person is guided through the meditation vocally. Right From beginning to end the person is guided.. The vocal instructor guides the listener through the meditation process.. This was a way our ancestors imparted meditation knowledge, possibly imparted in groups. Today, we have guided meditation classes, hypnotherapists who use guided meditation techniques to create a relaxed alpha state and we also have qualified counsellors (a professional trained counselor will have insurance someone who just calls them self a counselor without an appropriate level of training such as a Diploma of Counselling will not be able to purchase insurance), along with psychologists that offer clients guided meditation to help with anxiety and stress. In addition there are numerous guided meditation CD MP3 & DVDs and guided meditation DVDs or alternatively one can by a book and record their own guided meditation. Guided meditation can be simplistic to more advance depending on the level of the listener or user. Guided meditation is a good alternative for the not so experienced meditator, people who find it difficult to visualize and people who just like the convenience.

Energy Healing

Energy healing is just a term that is used for any therapy that influences the energy circuits in the physical to bring about balance within the body so the body can initiate its own healing mechanisms. The more popular therapies that use energy healing include Reflexology, Reiki, , Kinesiology, Acupuncture and Thought Field Therapy. Nonetheless, energy healing also includes the not so well known therapies including Chakra and Aura balancing; Flower and Vibrational Essences, Colour Therapy, Spiritual Healing, Crystal Healing, and many other forms of bodywork. Energy healing practitioners are often trained in a few natural or alternative therapies and methods and will mix their skills for effective outcome. Some may also use their innate intuitive skills along with their practical and theoretical skills. Energy healing uses a holistic approach that will often go beyond the physical to influence the subtle energy systems which are chakras, meridians, auric bodies, etc, where the cause of the specific dis-ease can often be located., emotional and mental stress, trauma, faulty or false belief systems, physical distress, environment stressors, and any other blocks to the individuals growth can often be stored within the energy fields of the body, which in turns impact the ability to function to the fullest and optimum potential. Energy healing assists in the healing process by clearing blocks within an individual’s energy field. And in by doing so repairs and rebalances the energy so that the physical body can move forward an optimal level of balance where it can access its innate ability to heal itself. Energy healing can also help individual gain insights and thus identify “issues” prior to manifesting pain or other similar distortions within the body. It opens the door to consciousness, to areas that require insightful mental and emotional work that can be worked through safely in order to heal and to bring about a balance to maintain harmony health, synchronization and vitality. Energy healing includes: Music therapy Brainwave therapy Reiki Chakra balancing Aura Balancing Spiritual Healing Reflexology Art therapy Healing arts.

Spiritual healing usually has an association to faith and a belief of a greater power from the healer’s perspective.

EFFECTS OF STRESS

The body responds to stress by releasing steroid hormones, along with the stress hormone cortisol. The bodys HPA system activates, firstly The production and then the release of steroids known as glucocorticoids as well as the principle hormone cortisol. Cortisol organizes systems throughout the body –lungs, circulation, heart, metabolism, skin and immune systems to deal with the stress response or fight and flight. In addition The HPA system releases specific neurotransmitters often referred to as “chemical messengers” namely glucocorticoids or more specificall dopamine, norepinephrine, along with epinephrine which is adrenaline. Catecholamines activates the amygdala this is inside the brain, and as such triggers an emotional response to stressful events, such as fear. Long- and Short Term Memory are affected by stressful events. specifically, during a stress situation catecholamines suppress activity in areas of the brain responsible for short-term memory, concentration, rational thought, and inhibition. The succession of mental events enables a individual to react swiftly, either to fight or run. At the same times it alos create an interference for the individual ability to manage social or intellectual tasks along with behaviors during that time. neurotransmitters within the brain will also signal the hippocampus to store the intense emotional experience into long-term memory. this action from the brain would have been critical for survival in primitive times, as long-lasting memories of particularly dangerous stimuli would have been critical for survival and helpful to avoiding threats in the future.

REDUCE STRESS

A study by the University of Colorado at Boulder suggests that exercising regularly in moderation may help protect against negative effects of stress specifically on the body's immune system. Moderate and regular exercise may act as a buffer when one is confronted with negative effects of stress and the stressful events. Exercise to reduce stress Regular exercise improves ones physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. exercise keeps the body fit and active, and also releases endorphins which makes one feel calm and contented, thus reduces stress. Relaxation techniques and things like yoga or tai chi are helpful in decreasing stress and anxiety. Meditation helps one to reduce stress and helps one to physically relax and mentally relax. Meditation is helpful in relaxing the mind and body and helps with concentration and reduces, irritability. Thus Meditation is effective to reduce stress.
