but they just do not like to sit and meditate.

Still others just think they would look weird or something just sitting there. And many folks just don’t have the time.

This movement activates the relaxation response.

This is a very popular movement in China. There is a saying in China that says, “if you do 100 of these you will live a long life, if you do 1000 you will live forever”.

Emotional Stress Relief, Old School Style

In the old days, whenever there was a stressful situation, usually movement was involved. You fought, ran away or worked harder. The movement helped to unwind the stress. In nature the natural stress antidote is movement of some type.

These days people are stuck behind a desk, in a traffic jam, or on the phone. This makes it difficult to process the stress response.
This 2 minute Qigong movement, called Shaking the Tree can be useful as a quick way to get rid of stress. Instead of a cigarette break at work, go outside and do this quick exercise. You can do this movement almost any time and place. Move in whatever way feels right to you. There is really no right or wrong way to do this Qigong move. It is great for releasing emotional stress. Next time you feel like punching somebody, do the “Shaking the Tree” move instead.

And if you do not feel like messing around with growing plants, you can pick some up at the health food store, or someplace that sells herbs.

The plant I am talking about is lavender, make a lavender wand and swish it around in a hot bath for a wonderful relaxing effect.

You could also put some in a sock ( a clean one) and stick it under your pillow, or inside the pillowcase. That way you can have that relaxing smell while you are sleeping. It might even help you fall asleep faster.

This video gives a great explanation of how to change your thoughts for the better.

Focus on what you really do want, not on what you do not want.

We have written before about how stress is acid forming in the body and works against our efforts to be more alkaline. This video gives some great tips on how to deal with stress and change your thinking patterns for the better.

Stress has been a big buzzword in the medical community. A lot of health problems are aggravated by stress. People have a tendency to focus on the dramatic. Our imaginations can run wild.  There is a lot of focus on violence and negativity, just turn on the TV or go to the movies.

So try this instead, focus on:

• Peace not war
• Prosperity instead of lack
• Love in place of hate
• Health and vitality rather than illness
• Kindness replaces rudeness
• Share a smile, a hug or a kind word

Stress is very acid forming for the body, maybe even more so than acidic foods.

Anything you can do to relax is a great antidote to stress. Why not find yourself a partner and take turns giving and receiving a relaxing massage.

Have you tried
Interferential therapy
for back pain?

Back Massage Video

This video gives great instructions for massaging the lower back. You don’t have to be a professional massage therapist to give a good massage. It’s handy to learn some basics about how to give a good massage.

This massage focuses on the lower back, one of the most common areas for pain and stiffness.

Sometimes people’s back pain is aggravated by excess weight. It’s a strain on the muscles to carry around that extra weight. A number of my friends have gotten good weight loss results from Iaso tea. I like to drink it myself to keep toxins cleared from my body.

I have heard of people getting relief from back pain using compression garments. They are designed to make the body look slimmer, but they also have the effect of supporting the lower back.

Did you know? About 8 out of 10 people have had some type of back pain at one point in their life. The two types of pain are chronic (long lasting, ongoing) and acute, (sudden, short duration). Whenever I suffer from back pain, my first stop is a good chiropractor.

This video teaches you a smooth gentle set of exercises that only takes a few minutes to learn.

Best of all it has a triple benefit, exercise, meditation and stress reduction all at the same time.

Deep breathing combined with gentle movement is one of the best ways to flush acid out of the body. You can literally exhale excess acids. Over exercising can actually work against you because of lactic acid build up in the muscles.

Best of all you can do this exercise almost anywhere. Outside in a park is ideal, but your living room or even a hotel room will work. No special exercise equipment needed.

It takes just a few minutes to learn these movements and you can take it at your own pace.  Only a few minutes of practice each day is needed.

The Chinese have been practicing QiGong for many, many years and is very popular in China today. It is gaining popularity around the world.

I like to exercise after a cup of  organic, cleansing herbal tea. It  helps to remove toxins from my body and balance my pH even more.

So what can you really do to reduce stress, or at least lessen the impact on your life?

Yoga is something that really works for me. I was talking to my yoga teacher after class this past Monday. We both observed how much better we feel after a good yoga class.

My mind feels much calmer. Not only that, I can actually feel a difference in my body.

Movement is one of the best ways to combat stress. When a zebra is stressed by an attacking lion, what does it do? Run! Stress triggers a need for movement in the body.

When the zebra is done running and the lion ate somebody else, then what? He takes a rest.

Yoga combines movement, with deep breathing and relaxation. That is what makes it a great stress solution. It works with that mind-body connection.

There are some other great ways to reduce stress, I will share in upcoming posts. I would love to hear about your favorite stress reduction method. Please use the comment box below.
