The Stress Control Workout

Seven minutes - evenings or whenever tense

Stress, one of the least understood conditions in modern life, permeates almost every human activity. Professions involving financial or personal risk-taking, or the constant pressure of deadlines, are extremely stressful. Personal relationships that are in emotional transition also cause intense stress, particularly when feelings must be concealed.

While some stress is beneficial to survival, constant stress is extremely debilitating and can lead to sleepless nights, poor digestion, and feelings of tension and irritability. Recent studies show a direct correlation between levels of stress and heart disease, peptic ulcers, migraine, suicide, and high blood pressure. Nevertheless, stress control is surprisingly easy to achieve and can produce remarkable changes in your personal, physical, and emotional well-being.

The stress control workout should be performed whenever you feel tense. Work the reflex areas in the order that they are listed, starting with the first reflex area on the left hand, then going to the same reflex area on the right hand. Do not forget to co-ordinate the pressure with your breathing and visualize the parts of the body that you are stimulating.

The sequence
1. The solar plexus reflexes. 2. The pituitary gland reflexes. 3. The thyroid and parathyroid gland reflexes. 4. The lung reflexes. 5. The kidney reflexes. 6. The spine reflexes.
