Stress Away Breathing

This past June, I was fortunate enough to attend the First International Chair Massage Conference in Toronto. One of the guest speakers was Eli Bay, one of Canada’s foremost authorities on stress; with over 25 years dedicated to speaking about stress and relaxation.  

The amount of change experienced in our society is growing exponentially year after year, resulting in everyone being under chronic and unremitting stress. Just think about all the technological changes in the last 10 years, 20 years, 100 years!

Let’s face it, chronic stress is now part of life and part of the human condition. We need to find ways to deal with stress. Receiving regular relaxation massage (call me!) is a great way to relax, focus and relieve muscle tension, but you also need to find a way to deal with stress in your daily life.

I learned from Eli that you can easily shift your body and mind from a stress arousal state to a state of deep relaxation in just a few minutes. After 5 minutes of relaxation breathing techniques, you can be in a state of rest as measured by oxygen consumption similar to 4-5 hours of sleep. And don’t we all need more of that?

I’d like to share a quick relaxation breathing exercise that you can do every day. Click here, print out the handy sheet, and cope with stress every day! (Compliments of Eli Bay).
