It is possible to reduce stress in just 30 seconds and this is one of the first things people learn when they take part in our More Than Meditation course.
Learning how to develop the relaxation response anywhere and at anytime in order to maintain balance and harmony in the systems of the body reverses the stress induced symptoms of fatigue and increased pain.
Achieving a state of brain chemistry balance leads to enhanced health and wellbeing on a physical, mental and emotional levels.

Sudden Stress is the body’s natural response to danger. It is a good response. We all have stress. The problem begins when we have persistent stress. Sustained ( chronic) stress is toxic causing a build up of chemicals which harm all body tissues.

Although the process of meditation is natural, having some guidance and instruction accelerates the process of achieving a meditative state and what follows is reduced stress.

One participant wrote

Dear Bill, Bev, Daniel and Kati,

My practice is going well thanks. I have managed to meditate for 12 minutes on Friday and today. The pre meditation “warm up” exercises taught using the senses has helped me focus just so much more, and I am reading the information on the website. I enjoyed last Thursday night. I feel being with the group is a great experience. The sense of stillness is amazing. I seem to feel calm and not so agitated which I think is helping me cope with the pain. Looking forward to next Thursday night.

Thanking you,
Regards.
Helen.
