In a state of stress, the worst thing you can say to a person is “relax”! Well of course, how come the person didn’t think of it?
Once stress appears in a person’s life, then it follows an automatic route, because the adrenals, the hormones and the hippocampus are now upset. The logic has nothing to do anymore. The person itself realizes that stress appears uninvited even though the circumstances aren’t that stressful in the first place.
So, no matter the cause that brought stress and no matter the intensity, stress is a form of dis-ease and not an aspect of a character or a disability to manage life’s obligations. To say to a stressed person “relax” is like saying to a mute “speak”. I can see your mouth, I can see your tongue, why don’t you speak? Same with stress, the person looks alright, looks healthy, but from the inside there is a damage. Stress is a dis-ease, invisible, silent and usually chronic.
It can come up at any age, in different levels, for different causes. It comes with a variety of symptoms and this is why it takes time and persistence. But it is reversible!
In this course I use the three basic remedies to prevent or to avoid stress and these are: breath for the adrenals, meditation for the hippocampus and music-sound therapy for the hormones. Stress is piled in to the adrenals, that are responsible for “fight- flight or freeze” response. In western lifestyle the response “fight” literally barely shuts off. Adrenals and hippocampus work together to channel to the human body the proper hormones in the proper portion for the right cause. If the signal that is send out from the adrenals to the brain all the time is “fight-fight-fight” (along with the garbage food that we feed our second brain: the gut), the hormones that the body keeps producing are the stress hormones. This is why I mentioned that in this course I aimed to the adrenals- by breath, the hippocampus- by meditation, the hormones- by music therapy.
Three easy ways, that have an effect as long as they become a routine for some time, in order to train back our body into harmony. In a case of stress, the body is like an instrument that has gone out of rhythm. So we have to train ourselves back to right rhythm. And like learning how to play an instrument takes an everyday practice for successful and quick results, same with the big instrument called “human body”, it takes an everyday commitment so repetition after repetition to tune in back into the rhythm.
