Stress And Anxiety

Hypnosis and Stress Management

Stress is something we all complain about yet a definition of it eludes us. There are innumerable definitions around, but one of the most useful is: "Stress is any change to which you must adjust". Another simple definition that I personally like is Stress = No Options. When our mind cannot come up with options and we feel we just have to do this or behave in this way, we are likely to get stressed.

Most of us think of stressful situations as being negative: illness, death of a friend or loved one, being fired from your job, flunking out of school, divorce and so on. But situations commonly thought of as positive produce stress as well: moving to a new home, getting a promotion, going away to college,getting married, organizing Thanksgiving party, buying Christmas gifts etc. Stress comes from external and internal sources. It may come from the environment, or from the body and/or the thoughts and emotions.

The key to combating the stress and anxiety is to relax. How your body responds when you relax is much the same as when you enter hypnosis. The most common body responses are:

Your heart rate slows down
Your breathing becomes deeper and slows down
You remove muscle tension in the body
Blood circulation becomes even in the body
Your digestive system works more efficiently
You feel calmer and decision making improves

Of course, we all will experience stress, anxiety in today's world. What differentiates us is how we handle the stress and anxiety.

We have a SPECIAL Package for Stress Management.

We have a free eBook - 11 Effective Techniques for Stress Management. You can go to Books tab to get it.

Stress and the immune system
Quote from WebMD magazine, Nov/Dec 2008 follows:
Easing up on yourself over the holidays is important because the connection between stress and illness is real, says Simon A. Rego, PsyD, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and associate director of psychology training at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y.
“The controversy that stress causes disease is pretty much over. We’re now testing out how stress does it,” he says. In fact, a new study explains how stress may weaken the immune system. Each cell contains a tiny “clock” called a telomere, which shortens each time the cell divides. To counter this effect, the body also produces an enzyme, telomerase, which protects the cell and prevents further shortening by adding more DNA to the end of the telomere.
So far, so good -- but under stress, the body pumps out cortisol, a hormone that suppresses this protective enzyme. The study found that people under chronic stress have shorter telomeres, which, researchers say, means they are more vulnerable to a host of ailments.
Self Hypnosis can open your mind to suggestions that can relieve stress or change the way you respond to stress. Hypnotherapy is highly effective in managing stress.
Cancer cannot exist without Stress
For Lothar Hirneise, world-renowned cancer researcher: "Cancer cannot exist without stress. One hundred percent impossible! There are lots of debates on types of stress - physical and psychological (emotional) - but for a cell it doesn't matter where the stress comes from. Every cancer patient has a sugar problem. Insulin transports sugar to cells. Adrenaline takes it away. You have an excess of adrenaline initially when under stress, however, long-term stress results in adrenaline shortages. That's what you see in cancer patients".

It is absolutely critical for the cancer patient to uncover and release toxic negative emotions that are causing internal stress - in order to heal from cancer.

CS, Dallas

I contacted Karuna for hypnotherapy because I wanted to change how I handled stress and anxiety. I also wanted to be more confident and to attract abundance in my life since my husband has been laid off and we are financially struggling.

After a couple of sessions I noticed a difference in my overall sense of well-being. She gave me tools and coping skills to practice which helped me learn how to create calmness within myself and also how to be kinder to myself. These tools ultimately helped me feel more confident and to also treat other people in my life with more compassion.

Karuna also taught me about writing down specific positive goals to affect change. After one week of following her advice, my husband got a new job! I would not have believed it if it hadn't happened to me.

Karuna's expertise and knowledge of hypnotherapy have definitely made a difference in my life and been beneficial.
