ZenWorlds ZenCast #39 is a meditation designed to help you reduce stress. Our lives have become evermore complex. We're constantly being exposed to messages, information, challenges on top of normal stressors like work and home life. Our bodies are designed to kick into fight or flight mode during stressful times but then to come down once the stressor is gone. Stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to kick in. Not allowing your body to come down from these fight responses results in adrenal fatigue, irritatability, digestive disorders and can even increase the liklihood of more serious diseases like heart disease, stroke and hypertension. I was inspired to write this meditation after watching Dr. Oz on Reversing Heart Disease in 28 Days. It's not always possible to have peace and quiet. It takes practice, but in time you'll learn to change how you handle stressors with meditative practices no matter where you are or what your circumstance. To assist you along your journey, try this meditation.Before beginning any relaxation exercises or meditations, be sure you are not operating a vehicle, machinery or attending to the needs of children.This ZenCast uses chakra tuning forks that vary in frequency.
