On paper germs and viruses may not look as dangerous as a gun pointed at you; when you continue to hear virus facts your mind and body are on full alert, which causes stress. When you focus on solutions and not the threat, fight or flight does not kick in, stress melts and you can think more clearly.
Worrying about what others will think of the uncut grass in your yard may seem silly when compared to a person with the gun pointed at you. Nevertheless, each can put your systems on alert and cause stress.
If something is physically going to hurt you and you can physically stop it or run away, your fight or flight response is a welcome ally as it’s response system shuts down when no longer required. It is not an ally with physiological threats as they can have your body on full alert for days, weeks, months and even years, taking an exhausting toll on your mind, body and spirit.
Your fight or flight response causes your body to release adrenaline and cortisol, raise sugar level in your blood, and more. Elevated cortisol levels interfere with learning and memory, lower immune function and bone density, increase weight gain, plus all the negative things that stress causes.
Meditation can lower cortisol levels and reduce anxiety, which is why at certain times listening to the guided meditations on the CD ‘Finding Your Solutions’ moves from a luxury to a necessity.
That is one long list, especially when you add in the diseases triggered by stress, making stress enemy #1.
The good thing is that you can avoid stress or melt it without drugs or long hours in therapy. In meditation you stop thinking without falling asleep. You slip into that place where there is no one to judge, no need to judge yourself, and unlimited possibilities can unfold.
If stress is effecting your life you probably do not care about the statistics, you simply want it erased. Having a safe raft to navigate through the swamp of artificial energy and the negative happenings around the world as reported by the media is a way to avoid stress.
In Finding Your Solutions you are first guided into a state of relaxation that is right for you at that time, and then to the place where you are guided to look beyond problems and see solutions.
The first program on Finding Your Solutions introduces you to how you can easily go into meditation. Others who listen for ten days found themselves easily going into the second program with no though; those who listened to the second program for 21 days found themselves looking beyond problems and seeing solutions.
The second program takes you to that beautiful place in nature where you can leave worries, and all the must haves and must dos of the world behind. In this place being in where only solutions grow you can relax and enjoy the freedom or no worry.
