Manage Stress with Online Program

De Stress – Online Course #109

If there was one thing you could do, which would dramatically improve your mental and physical health and well-being it would be to de-stress.  Stress is without a doubt the leading cause of disease and illness in the world and given our fast paced, me oriented, goal driven, hyper competitive society, I can only seeing this problem getting worse.

Not only are the majority of adults suffering from stress, I also fear that our “succeed” at all costs attitude, is putting our children under undue stress and pressure as well.

We all desperately need to de stress and we need to de stress now.  This is the first step, not just for achieving health, healing and peace of mind, but it is also the first step of spiritual evolution.

Yoga and Meditation Stress Management Program Participation Guidelines

Following are the guidelines which I suggest we follow…

• Please post all comments, questions and feedback in the comments section of this post.  This way all will benefit from the discussion.  Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format.  Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.
• If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session.  Could be as short as “did it”, or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback.  The hardest part with a daily yoga and exercise practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily practice will help in facilitating that.  In addition, your comments will inspire others as well.
  
• Before starting your daily yoga session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection.  At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.
• Do the best you can and modify the techniques as required.  It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed and not do anything at all.
• I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience and hope this program really helps you de stress and find peace.
• Below, in the related articles and series sections you will find other free yoga and meditation classes; feel free to take advantage of them.
