You know that feeling in your throught and chest that is sometimes so difficult to get rid of. Stress has become such a common part of our everyday life that we almost forgot how it feels to be without it. Our body is so used to that, that when we go on a holiday and start relaxing we straight away catch a flu that spoils the whole holiday. And when we go on a holiday we constantly running around the kids and we rushing not to miss that tour or that bus or the other activity, so when we get back to work again we need to have another holiday just to relax from that stressful holiday.
So here are 10 stress release excersizes that help to balance the energy in the body and to allow maximum effectiveness of mind and body:
1. Drink Water
Water is essential to the optimal function of the lymphatic system that nurtures the cells in the body and removes the poisons and waste from the body. The water improves the passage of electromagnetic messages of the electric system in the body. Balances the fluids and improves the mental and physical function and the thinking and focusing abilities.
2. Body and Mind Pressure Points to Balance the Energy
We have points in the body that are like electromagnetic switches that are useful for balancing electrical disturbances in our electrical system.
Put 5 fingers of one hand on the belly button and leave it there for the following steps described:
a. Massage for 15 seconds the softer areas right under the neck bone on both sides of the chest.
b. Massage for 15 seconds under and above the lips in order to stimulate the central meridian that controls the body.
c. Exchange hands and repeat.
3. Hold your positive pressure points
Any time you feel under stress, pain or panic put the tips of you fingers on your forhead above the eye brows, “There there are positive points to neutralise stress”. Leave them there when you are thinking about a problem or talking about it.
Holding the “positive points” keeps the flow of blood and worms it while unifying the front brain. This short circuit is the classic basis to stress response that stimulates the blood to flow towards the area of the “fight or flight” that exists in the back of our head.
4. Cook’s Seating Posture –
This is a major stress releaser. Do this anytime you experience excess energy, sadness confusion and embarrassment. Stay in each position a minute or two or until the minds switches from the unpleasant thoughts.
a. Put the ankle of one leg on the knee of the other leg. With the hand that is on the side of the straight leg hold the ankle of the folded leg, the other hand put on the first hand and hold the bridge of the folded foot. Remember to take deep breaths when you do that.
b. Put the legs back on the floor put the fingers of both hands together and keep on breathing.
5. Activate your Senses
Activate your eyes by massaging the “Eye Points” Exactly above the base of the scull. Massage the softer points on both sides to stimulate the vision field.
Massage around the ear lobes gently, while turning the edges of the ears outwards. Pay attention how the sounds start becoming wider and brighter and your attention sharpens.
6. “Lazy” Eight
Short break for the eyes will help to read and understand better! The lazy eight unifies the middle vision field and is used in learning improvement for years. Pull your arms forward and the thumbs upwards in the line of the nose. Make and eight in the air, your eyes focusing on your thumbs always move upward from the middle, in straight line from the nose, and down and to the sides. Allow your eyes to follow your arms, keep the head motionless. Make a lazy eight 3 times with the right hand and 3 times with the left hand and 3 times with both hands.
7. The Owl
Put left hand on right shoulder. Breath in air and turn the head to the right shoulder while blowing the air out. Repeat to the middle. Breath air, turn the head to the left shoulder while blowing air out. Come back to the centre, change hands, repeat the process 4 times to each side.
The advantage of the excersize is in releasing the shoulder muscles and the neck that improve the ability to listen, understand, think and talk.
8. Activating the arms –
Lift your right arm straight towards the sealing. Put your left hand above the elbow of the right. Blow air out and gently move your right hand forward against the left arm for about 8 seconds. Continue doing this when you move the right hand to directions: Left, right, and back. Change the hands and repeat.
Doing this exercise lengthens the muscles of the upper chest and the shoulders, a place where the muscles control the source of the combines fine and gross motor activities. These movements relax the shoulder muscles and release the mind to comfortable writing, to spelling and creative writing.
9. Double Doodle
Hold a pencil in each hand. On a big piece of paper draw similar shapes while using both hands at the same time. Start with big simple shapes like circles, squares and triangles. When you will feel comfortable continue to draw more complicated shapes.
The benefit of this technique is that we practice the ability of the work of both eyes and we develop coordination of eye and hand to improve writing abilities.
10. Cross Frame to activating the mind
This technique makes the mind move between 2 hemispheres, and combine them to work together. Use this excersize when you find it difficult to think and do something at the same time.
a. Do 6-7 walking/ skipping crossing right hand to left knee and left hand to right knee. This activates both sides of the brain at the same time.
b. Switch to walk/skip of one side, right hand to right knee, left hand to left knee. (Imagine that you are a puppet hanging on a string) do that 6-7 times. This activates one side of the brain/ body at the same time.
c. Switch between the crossing between two sides to one side about 6-7 times or untile the switch happens easily. Always finish with crossing both sides.
Even though there is good stress and bad stress, stress can be very detrimental to our health if experienced for a prolonged period of time.
