Stressed Out? This Amazing Technique Will Save Your Sanity!
Stressed out? That phrase accurately describes most of us today.
The demands made on us...
by job, family, love relationships...
the multiple streams of sensory input that bombard us daily...
the often pessimistic media predictions of our future...
can devastate our overall sense of well-being.
All these factors add up to cause "circuit overload", and can ultimately lead to emotional burnout! Most of us seek to relieve the tensions inherent in today's modern life one way or another-- with drugs, alcohol, or, yes, even escape into the kinder, gentler climate ofinternet surfing.
Well, I'm about to let you in on a little secret here...
a technique for stress relief that not only reduces your tension and anxiety levels, it provides proven physical benefits as well.
If practiced on a regular basis, this practice can CHANGE YOUR LIFE, as it did mine.
So what is this mysterious, secret technique? Okay, now hold onto your hat...
it's called Transcendental Meditation (or TM).
Now, don't "X" out of this page without hearing me out! If you have heard of it, you are probably reminded of the zoned-out hippies of the 70s, sitting cross-legged in the floor, with flowers in their hair, while the mystical strains of Ravi Shankar sitar music plays softly in the background.
It's true.
The love generation did embrace Transcendental Meditation.
But they were actually onto a good thing! TM has absolutely nothing to do with political philosophy or religious beliefs.
It is a medically proven stress buster that is not only easy to learn, but a snap to practice.
All it takes is 20 minutes, twice a day...
to a calmer, happier, healthier YOU! Medical research has been carried out in numerous well- documented studies proving the physical benefits to be enjoyed.
Meditative practices are increasingly offered in medical clinics and hospitals as a tool for improving health and quality of life, and as an adjunct in treating debilitating diseases.
Scientific research has proven that TM can facilitate stress reduction by: lowering heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure; decreasing plasma cortisol levels (the "stress hormone"); it decreases anxiety and tension, improves sleep, and has been shown to decrease alcohol, cigarette and illicit drug use.
Transcendental Meditation is considered a viable therapy for panic disorder , generalized anxiety disorder, depression, ulcers, colitis, and chronic pain.
It is considered to be a valuable adjunctive treatment for moderate hypertension (high blood pressure), prevention of heart attack, atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), arthritis (including fibromyalgia), cancer , insomnia, migraine, allergies, asthma, andsome neurological disorders as well.
These include people with Parkinson's disease , multiple sclerosis , and epilepsy.
Whew! What a valuable practice meditation has proven to be! No, it's not a cure-all.
Just one valuable tool in your stress-fighting arsenal.
Overall, a 1995 report to the National Institutes of Health on alternative medicine concluded that, "More than 30 years of research, as well as the experience of a large and growing number of individuals and health care providers, suggests that meditation and similar forms of relaxation can lead to better health, higher quality of life, and lowered health care costs...
" What can this mean for you? The impressive physical and medical benefits notwithstanding, we just recommend it to you as a simple, easy, cost-free method to deal with stress and increase your overall happiness and satisfaction with life.
It has done this for us, and we know it can do the same for you.
