"Stress is not something you can take or leave. Stress affects your work and personal relationships, even your sex life. It's about your health, effectiveness, vitality and inner peace. It's about life and death."

We generally use the word stress when we feel that everything has become too much -- we're overloaded and cannot cope with the pressures we are facing.
Stress is a natural part of daily life. A little stress is healthy and motivates us to do thing, complete tasks and meet deadlines for example.
Too much stress however can become an overload and when we sustain high stress levels we put ourselves at risk of chronic illnesses.
Herein lays the challenge -- to stretch our boundaries and to develop our potential while managing our stressors.
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situations for example; relationship issues, office problems, study , public speaking etc. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
When using graphic terms to describe our stress or anxiety to others we are not only reinforcing our stressors but possibly increasing those of the listener as well.
Excessive Stress overloads our central and autonomic nervous system and this in turn negatively affects many other systems of the body.
Learning to bring stress responses back to a more normal balance in our daily lives provides a significant benefit for our long term health and peace of mind.
Thus the goal of this stress management program is to train the mind and body to restore physical, mental and emotional equilibrium and to release any destructive thought patterns or emotions.
This is achieved by autogenic training whilst being monitored with biofeedback equipment
Benefits of the program include these improvements:
The goal of The Stress Management Program is to train you to gain control over the negative impact of stress in your life.
Everything we are exposed to in our lives impacts on our heart whether negative or positive!
(The air we breathe, food we eat, thoughts, emotions, feelings to name but a few).
The biofeedback monitoring equipment used in the sessions shows in detail the effect of these 'impacts' on the electrical frequencies generated by the heart. By defusing these 'negative impacts' together with relaxation training, emotional and 'letting go' it is possible to shift your heart frequencies into a positive, healthy, balanced zone.
These changes are graphically displayed on a computer screen. It is essential to continue to practice the technique at home and when fully learned takes about 10 - 15 minutes twice a day. In this way it is possible to alleviate the negative impact of stress on your mind and body.
