Do you ever feel jangled, frazzled, or jostled by life, and tight or tense in your body? Are you suffering from an upset stomach or insomnia?
Medical science has known for a long time that a major cause of chronic disease is undigested and accumulated stress.
Living in this world can be extraordinarily stressful. Hurricanes, earthquakes, the increasingly bizarre political climate and economic uncertainty all impact negatively our mental and physical well being.
NOT TO MENTION CHLDHOOD TRAUMA AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS..
The key to releasing and healing from this chronic stress is to move from "fight or flight" to "rest and repair" by entering into a state of deep relaxation and triggering what is known as the Relaxation Response Fortunately, we have a great solution - the Life Vessel. The Life Vessel allows us to achieve deep relaxation and to be able to do it on a regular basis. Regular relaxation has far-reaching physical and mental health benefits. It brings you to a calm strong place that is the embodied foundation of resilience.
