Amazing Relaxation Techniques for Stress Relief

For many of us, relaxation means zoning out in front of the TV at the end of a stressful day. But this does little to reduce the damaging effects of stress. To effectively combat stress, we need to activate the body's natural relaxation response. You can do this by practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, rhythmic exercise, and yoga. Fitting these activities into your life can help reduce everyday stress and boost your energy and mood.

The relaxation response: Bringing your nervous system back into balance

Stress is necessary for life. You need stress for creativity, learning, and your very survival. Stress is only harmful when it becomes overwhelming and interrupts the healthy state of equilibrium that your nervous system needs to remain in balance. Unfortunately, overwhelming stress has become an increasingly common characteristic of contemporary life. When stressors throw your nervous system out of balance, relaxation techniques can bring it back into a balanced state by producing the relaxation response, a state of deep calmness that is the polar opposite of the stress response.

When stress overwhelms your nervous system your body is flooded with chemicals that prepare you for "fight or flight." While the stress response can be lifesaving in emergency situations where you need to act quickly, it wears your body down when constantly activated by the stresses of everyday life. The relaxation response puts the brakes on this heightened state of readiness and brings your body and mind back into a state of equilibrium.

Producing the relaxation response

A variety of different relaxation techniques can help you bring your nervous system back into balance by producing the relaxation response. The relaxation response is not lying on the couch or sleeping but a mentally active process that leaves the body relaxed, calm, and focused.

Years ago when I did the NLP practitioners course I was able to also do Energy Resourcing,  a technique whereby we learn how to view and access our timeline to connect with ourselves in the various nodules/capsules/spaces in time that have taken place during our current reality (lifetime). I learned then already, some 14 years ago,  that we can take a step back and instead of viewing our time line with our ‘past’ behind us and the ‘future’ in front, we could view our time line as though we are looking at a long ruler stretched out horizontally in front of us. In other words, you are at all times facing your entire time line, with the ‘past’ on the left, the present directly in front of you and the furture to your right.

Since we now know, everything is happening NOW, so there is no past or future, as such. Only this moment of NOW.

We know now that time,  as humans have perceived/ viewed/ understood it, is an illusion to help us gain a certain perspective in our day to day lives.

So I invite you now to take a step back out of linear time and look at your time line stretched out horizontally in front of you as though you were holding a ruler in both hands. Now I’m going to ask you to stretch your imagination even further and imagine several of your timelines stretched out before you. Take your imagination even further still, and imagine countless timelines… Do you see them?

In each and every one of these timelines is a reality of yours! And each one is happening NOW!

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Many of your analysts think that the Greek people’s resounding “No” on the recent referendum put their country on the road to irreversible economic ruin. The country will manage. “No” put the Illuminati on the road to irreversible economic ruin.

Let It Be Known Beings Exist Underground

This statement was sent to me from my angelic guide whom I am in contact with frequently.

“Current views around the globe indicate that we are not in danger, but the actual state of affairs is rather grim.  There exists a faction, indeed, intact underground, that intends on plundering the planet into severe chaos.  So, we that are here, need to be consciously aware of their existence.  They are indeed in despair and have no way of escaping, at all, due to their neglect of being offered amnesty yet refusing wholeheartedly, and this way of being will never be permitted.  But, rest assured, we are not allowing them free access to life beyond this planet and this will secure them hopelessly into holes that will be accessed soon.  Let the children of this world know the end is near and that true living will soon be accessible.”

We were once so desensitized to negative energy that it felt ‘normal’ for us. It was ‘normal’ for us to live in the 3D matrix where people are playing out their victim/persecutor roles around us in this game called Life.

You will see that once you are awakened and conscious to what is going on around you, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain your current lifestyle.

You will move away from the people you once knew and even the lifestyle you used to once enjoy.

You may even find you can no longer sustain your current means of earning an income.

You will become sensitive to energy and even know when there is a negative cord attached to you.

You will learn to listen to your body and see through the eyes of your Soul.

You will realize that you have never been free, that true freedom lies within you, and ONLY within you.

You will begin to know your Self and you will fall in love with your Self, and for the first time in your life you will FEEL TRUE LOVE.

You will know a deeper sense of compassion and love for others and you will one day realize that everyone is just another you.

You will view everyone and all living things as Sacred, and you will know that you can make a difference in people’s lives just by sharing your love with them.

By this, you will know your true power, and the Magnificence of your Soul.

In celebration of the NEW that is NOW being felt on the Planet I have made the decision to relocate, as guided by my Beloved Michael, to an area that will help me support a higher frequency of vibration.
