 Stressed Out? Learn a different more empowering way to view and handle stress! There's no Escaping The Stress of Life Stress is a part of everyday life. Almost any change in our lives is a potential source of stress because of the demand on us to deal with a new situation. While the natural conclusion is that external events cause stress, in reality they are not stressful. What determines whether something is stressful is how we interpret and react to them. One expert described stress as "mobilized energy." We actually need stress to get anything accomplished. The problem arises either when we are unable to handle or are overwhelmed by the stress. The typical response to trauma, stress or a wound is to go into a defensive posture and physiology. It is at these times that we often fail to recover from the stress. Then this "mobilized energy" becomes "stuck energy." Because of this "stuck energy" we go into a defense physiology and posture which puts tension on the spinal cord. The impact of this stress and tension on the spinal cord effects us in a myriad of ways in our life. Most significant is that we experience more pain, more tension, and fewer choices in all aspects of our lives. Common Symptoms of Stress Muscle Tension, Stiff Neck, Fatigue, Tension, Headaches, Indigestion, High Blood Pressure, Ulcers, Back Pain, Anxiety, Fear, Irritability, Hopelessness, Impatience, Depression, Nervousness, Change in Appetite, Sleep Disturbance, Forgetfulness, Angry Outbursts, Social Withdrawal, Loss of Concentration, etc... Can we Manage Stress? Stress is here to stay. It seems to be increasing. We cannot make stress go away. While there are a number of effective strategies for managing stress, at best they keep stress below dangerous levels. However, when exposed to high stress levels you are actually less likely to recognize the need for stress management. There is a Better Way! There is an extremely powerful and effective alternative. This approach actually teaches your body how to recognize stored stress and tension and to dissipate it from within. Your body also becomes much more effective in making effective choices when presented with new stress. All this with no special instructions, exercises, meditation, breathing, etc. The Magic of Network Spinal Analysis! Learn how this approach can help you deal with your stress and tension! What is Network Spinal Analysis and What Does it do? Network Spinal Analysis is a method of promoting healing, relieving stress, and promoting wellness in people that is far beyond any other model of health care that exists. With Network Care, people gain new opportunities to move from defense into growth. Defense is what the brain goes into when you are exposed to stress. When this happens the part of your brain that gives you the ability to ask whether something is an appropriate choice is diminished. Medical College research on Network has demonstrated that as the body learns how to dissipate stored stress and tension, people make healthier choices and experience an improved quality of life. How can Network Spinal Analysis help you deal with your tension or stress? We live in a time of tremendous tension and stress that only appears to be increasing. Network allows your body to identify areas of stress and tension; and then to release that stress and tension. With Network Care your body actually learns how to release this stress on it's own. With very gentle contacts applied to very specific areas, Network helps the brain to find the stored tension. Your body is then able to dissolve and melt away the tension. As Network shows the body where the stored tension is, one of the amazing things that happens is the body starts to stretch on it's own to release the tension. People spontaneously take deep breaths that gently release tension. How is Network different from other Approaches to Stress Management? There are significant differences between Network and every other approach to stress management. Network does not try to decide what is best for the body and to force the body into 'relaxing'. It is not something you have to remember to do when you are 'under stress'. In addition, it does not pretend to change your external circumstances. What Network does do is help teach your body how to locate stored stress and tension and to dissipate it naturally. Your body also learns how to more effectively deal with stress and tension, changing your ability to be well in spite of stress. Profound Effects from an Extremely Light Touch Network uses an extremely light contact to yield a profound effect. The power of this effect coupled with the gentleness of the touch deserves attention. There are times in all of our lives when a very light touch or stroke has had an immediate and significant effect on us. In a great moment of sadness, has anyone ever come up and gently stroked your cheek? And did it fill your heart? In a sexual situation, can a gentle touch applied to an erogenous zone yield a profound effect? We all know that! So too in Network a very gentle touch applied to one of the healing zones can cue or activate the body's innate intelligence and healing instinct. Initially this has the effect of increasing breath and dissipating stored stress and tension. Healing Comes in Waves. Medical College Research demonstrates unique stress melting movements related to increased Quality of Life! Healing Comes in Waves! It is becoming increasingly known and discussed that people under Network Care experience unique movements - like Healing Waves - while receiving Network Care. Research is showing that these waves are unique to Network and they are associated with a doubling of people's quality of life, the ability to make healthier choices, and increased life enjoyment. "When I first saw these waves happening in front of my eyes, I was astonished. I was not expecting anything like this and initially I did not understand them. Then I thought that the brain has brain waves, the heart moves rhythmically, digestion has rhythm, and sexuality involves rhythm. Rhythmic Waves are inherent to life." What is unique about the WAVES experienced in Network Care is that:
Two waves develop in Network Care. One is a breathing wave, which is a release of tension and produces relaxation beyond what people can comprehend. In addition, the second is a wave where you actually feel energy moving through your body and you are observing it. It is like a dolphin type movement. These waves are associated with enabling the body to take the tension that has been locked in a part of the body and like a laser, focus it to another part, and as it is moving dump the tension that's no longer needed. Therefore, these waves release tension; they increase breathing, actually allowing the body and mind to communicate with one another in a unique way. You have heard the term psychosomatic, where the mind actually creates symptoms and illness in the body. The reverse is true too. When you cue one of these waves in the body it talks back to the mind and a greater degree of healing and integration happens. |
