Be Aware - You may be Addicted to Stress

I have, up until recently, repeatedly used phrases such as "I don't have time to do ...." or "What a waste of time that would be" or "Give me a break ... how will I ever have the time." Yes, that's right, it was a habit with me. So was my automatic reaction. I would react in various ways and my mind would race thinking about all the things I have to do. I would raise my voice in conversation. I would make mistakes - perpetuating the cycle of lack of time. And ... more. All this contributed to stress. My body and mind were addicted to "the reaction" (automatic action) when I constantly referred to time as an enemy. Without my conscious knowledge my body craved the reactions it went through when I spoke negatively about time. My body was addicted to the reactions it went through.

Let Go Stress

A recent article by John-Roger about being part of the solution rather than the problem, when dealing with stress, sets the stage for today's E-Report. The article commenced "In today's world, high stress levels and violence are a big part of today's conversation. Everywhere we look, it seems there's another story about stress in the job, road rage, global warfare, or economic concerns. Yet these are not what most people really want in their lives or in the world. I often talk with friends and family about how to approach life with peace and calm. When life seems out of control, we need to identify ways to take care of ourselves and support ourselves. When we are supporting ourselves, we can become part of the solution in any situation we face rather than 'exploding' and being part of the problem."

Meditation is the key and once you become a devotee I guarantee it will change your life for the better.

Why Anxiousness Can Be a Habit

For a long time we have been hearing about the increase (or sometimes just the recognition) of depression in our society. In the Western World the number 1 cause of disability is depression. The 200th report by the National Institute of Mental Health, in the USA, says that the 5 anxiety disorders - general anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and phobias afflict approximately 3 times as many Americans aged 18 years or older as depression. Yes anxiety disorders are more prevalent than depression! Why? What is going on?

Relaxation

Story from M.N, Tas

Many thanks for a great weekend in Launceston. So many miracles/wonders have happened to me since then. I meditate daily—I’m so relaxed. My sleeping pattern has improved—I’m waking up so refreshed—yet I thought I was OK before the weekend. Once again, many thanks.

Release Stress

Story from M.S

I had a really stressful day at work recently – upsetting phone calls and interruptions and I had a report to get out. I remembered my Peaceful Place. Fantastic! It worked like magic. Focused concentration immediately and I easily handled four more annoying phone calls, each in 30 seconds. My work performance had increased.

Stress - Releasing

Story from V.R

I have to give many business presentations and my stress always came out as profuse and annoying perspiration. I am now in control of this situation and have no excessive perspiration before or during my presentations.

Stress - Releasing

Story from S.H

I write to both thank you and congratulate you for what you are doing to help so many people and for the manner in which your recent seminar was conducted. In the past I have been able to control my stress level fairly well but for the past 12 months it has been "out of control" mainly because of an extremely heavy workload. The result was physical and mental exhaustion. My goal was "to be able to relax at will" and with your guidance through the seminar I am well on the way to achieving this first goal. I have many other goals in mind, one is to pass the message on to as many as I can to read your books, listen to your tapes and attend your seminars. I have prepared a stress management session to run for my staff and nothing I have read or learned is as effective as your methods. I plan to purchase in bulk Piece of Mind and PP1 & 2 for each participant. Thank you sincerely and very best wishes for your continued success.

Stress - Releasing

Story from H.J

I was unable to access the Alpha State until I saw Sandy at the Mind Body & Spirit Festival and decided to attend his Seminar. Since then I can easily access Alpha and my PP. I had a great family tragedy which occurred 4 years ago which has caused ongoing depression and I can now "de-stress" and feel much better using the techniques.

Stress - Releasing

Story from S.H

It worked for me... so it can work for anybody...

I have participated in about 5 Stress Seminars over the last 20 years and none of them gave me the complete answer. Sandy, your PP relaxation technique was the missing piece of the jigsaw. On the basis that I am a very average, ordinary individual, with a practical outlook, who has worked under pressure and accordingly stress, most of my working life, if it worked for me, it should work for others (and it has).

Anxiety

Story from V.B. SA.

I find your CDs invaluable. I have the full set. I did the full weekend course with you last year. I now get up at 6 every morning in order to have time to go to my PP. My anxiety levels have dropped beautifully – it took about 3 months. I have used number 18 so much. I also want to buy my daughter CD number 18 (or maybe CD 20?) as she is pregnant with her first baby and doesn’t want to let any anxieties pass from her to her unborn baby.

Meditation for Sleep & Relaxation

Story from H.C. Qld

I mainly use the Inner Peace and Harmony CD almost every night when I wake up with my mind racing. It puts me back to sleep. I know it is not necessarily designed for that but that is what works for me.

Peaceful Place

Story from E.E. NZ

     Dear Sandy - You did a seminar many years ago in Wellington and I bought the tapes and a book for my daughter. She taught herself to find her peaceful place and she's used it ever since and so have I.
     A couple of years ago you came again and we were both extremely pleased to meet you at a seminar and we both bought tapes and books.
     We've been dealing with abusive patterns of behaviour which go back many generations.
     I am so overwhelmed at times that I forget my PP and when I consciously remember to do it things improve. And sometimes when I look back over the day and sort out what got me through it, I realise it's the PP kicking in of its own accord somehow. I learn't it well but I need to apply it more often.
     I do want to thank you for your dedication to sharing your experiences and learning with all of us and I hope to do more seminars with you either in Australia or in New Zealand in the future.

Inner Peace & Harmony

Story from B.N. NSW

Each day, in every way, my life gets better and better. Often it is only marginal, but that is better than going back into that awful abyss of before.

Thanks to you I now have a smile in my heart. Even at the end of a tough day (and there are many) I still have a smile in my heart, as well as on my face.

I am working slowly, but surely, towards MY goals and that feels so good. Each day I do the "Inner Peace and Harmony" meditation. I also do the "Making Sleep Easy and Useful" each night, that is also helping me BIG TIME.

Some days I've found myself at high levels of stress without realising it was happening, and I find the 30 second technique is not enough to release it. What can I do?

Some days I've found myself at high levels of stress without realising it was happening, and I find the 30 second technique is not enough to release it. What can I do

If you find yourself at a very high level of stress (anxiety) it will take longer – maybe 10 to 20 minutes – to bring yourself down to desired levels. A meditation will really help (PP5 - Meditation) If you find yourself already well above your stress limit, start using porpoising (going in and out of your Peaceful Place quickly) immediately to stabilise the level until you can get the 10 to 20 minutes you need to bring your stresses back down. If you suspect the day may be a tough one, start using the 30 second technique early on so the level doesn't get a chance to climb! Every time you go to your PP you release a little bit of stress - and that releasing is cumulative.
