The body and the mind function as one. This is particularly important when it comes down to stress management and relief. A relaxed mind has be proven to have many positive physical gains. The body has 2 main defence mechanisms:
The alarm mechanism is the infamous 'fight or flight' response that all animals use to deal with inherent danger that is presented before them. Stress actually engages this response unnecessarily. When this response is triggered we have raised adrenaline levels, which in theory drop back to normal fairly quickly after the incident. However, with stress, these levels don't drop. This causes a knock-on effect to affect our immune system, which subsequently lowers our ability to fight off diseases and illnesses. The immune system is stimulated constantly by the constant fight or flight response and so cannot determine a real illness. Stress therefore must be controlled with our best weapon - relaxation! What does relaxation mean?To the average person, this involves sitting in front of a tv, however, this does not allow our stesses to be released from our minds and therefore allows them to build. Relaxation involves focusing on the effects of stress and controlling them. |
