Stress and Anxiety

The world of humans is  facing great uncertainty and the future is unclear. The mind has a tendency to take all the information it knows, has read, or remembers, to pop out scenarios and probabilities. A futile attempt to feel safe and in control of the situation.

The poor body however, cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined.   The body simply responds physiologically to whatever content the mind is holding. It responds as if they were real. Of course for every worse case scenario the mind churns out causes a physiological response as well. Real news or Fake News, the response is the same.

As a result in many our bodies  currently, the physiological chemical soup is an expression of stress, fear, and anxiety. Our fight or flight response which should kick in to respond to a real threat, get us out of danger, and then switch off, is active most of the time. This is not sustainable if we wish to maintain a sense of wellbeing. Our sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive.  It is not easy to maintain a sense of balance and calm in the midst of mass hysteria, opinions and uncertainty. And this is where having some practices that will switch you over into the normal physiological state that is more conducive to health and wellbeing are very useful.

This will Help

Here is one such practice brought to you by the Awake Human Being Academy. We hope it helps your body switch back into relaxation. At least for even a few minutes of the practice. If you avoid the news and social media and simply focus yourself in this present moment afterwards, the state will last a while longer too.
